Because a 50% win rate is "shredding" solo q amirite?

'cause her skill cap is high-ish, she's naturally tanky and can do some damage with minimal items. There for 1) it's easy to do well against lower skill people at low-mid levels which is where she's dangerous. 2) Later game she can soak a lot of damage.

Now for the skill cap part... assume someone follows through 1 and 2 but doesn't realize they need the rest of their team to win the game. Vi loses all forward momentum and crashes, hard, right at the other team's feet.

Or she carries her team out. Depends on the player.

Whenever I picked up Vi I was maining shaco atm (not anymore o-o) she was so easy comparatively.

She is really strong at the moment. She has two gap closes that do damage, she has a passive shield and good burst. She can also get really tanky and still deal tons of damage.

I didn't say Vi has a 60% win rate or anything. Just said I've seen enough strong Vi's on my team and theirs that I'm starting to ban her myself. A gap closer that allows her to get in range to ulti the squishy (which is basically suppression) or can be used as a free flash to escape over a ledge. She's tough to kill, hard to kite, just a really nice package right now.

Just personal feelings.

Vi is quickly becoming the worst-kept secret.

The team is going to be touching this next patch

She have the same initiation as Malphite with some of his kit.
But people don't notice her yet.
