I was planning on opening my review shop again. But not ready to open the flood gates yet.

Anyway, yea I've been seeing Vi's get out of hand because she's a super angry anti-carry. Not much can be done except telling your carry to build a QSS and flash like mad away from her. She's tanky enough to do that **** and live.

I am friends with XJ9 in game; he taught me to play Hecarim. I'm currently sitting at Gold II. When he started playing Vi I thought he was crazy. All of a sudden it looks like he was absolutely right. Vi vs WW isn't even a debate. WW can't gank till 6 which allows the lanes to play super aggressive against your teammates. Vi can gank at 3. She also has one of the best gap closers in the game, combo her with orianna for maximum lulz. Vi has a basic ability that lets her jump over walls. One of the better escapes in the game IMO.

The only thing that annoys me is to see so many Vi not building any sustain...and since she has a built-in spammable " Flash" too many people get Exhaust in her
Gave you a good laugh or helped? rep+ so i can know ;)

Elohell is like Irelia's stun: if your real level is equal or lower than the level you are in, you're STUNNED there forever. If your actual level is higher than the level you are in, you're just SLOWED in your way up.

Yea uh.

I'm going to have to take back some things I just recently said after I just tried her again.

I hadn't played her since her release, and apparently those bug fixes did wondrous things. Her pre 6 ganks are potent, only if you land Q though, but that's so much easier to hit now. before it felt like it had next to no hit box unless you went all the way through them.

I ran a duel GP/10 item route (Avarice Blade and philo) and rushed frozen mallet. Seemed to work out pretty good. Was gonna get a Warmogs and possibly a static Shiv. Wasn't exactly sure what to build in all honesty. But I managed to go 7/3, even after they invaded and killed me for first blood and stole my blue. Maybe that will teach them why not to counterjungle a woman who wields Bionic ARRRRRRMMMMS.

My build probably looks really stupid, but I'm used to Volibear and Nautilus, whom I usually run double GP/10, or even triple GP/10.

So yeah. Read Vi's kit and i found out why she's so good.

Vault Breaker has excellent scaling. Comparable to a double hit on a Razor Shuriken, that can be used as an escape/gap closer

Denting Blows deals as much damage as a fully leveled Silver Bolts, but can also be procced by her Relentless Force, allowing for more burst. Plus, it gives her bonus attack speed. The kicker is that it scales off of AD, so towards even just the mid game, you can see this ability dealing upwards of 11% of targets maximum life, and proccing multiple times in rapid succession.

Relentless Force is just beautiful. It can store multiple charges and procs denting blows, plus it resets her AA. OP!

Cease and Desist:


It looks like someone who can really withstand her burst and debuff her AS (malphite and maybe lee sin), can have a chance against dueling her. When having to play against her, it looks like you build your team such that your team has the ability to kite her well - Possibly hinting that your AD carry should have some sort of dash, and that your support should be someone like lulu who can slow and CC. thoughts?

I already love her because just like Volibear I can get away with rushing health and defenses and still murder people. Murder Arms OP.
