Briar vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Briar vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 33 recent matches analyzed, Briar wins with a 54.5% win rate compared to Vi's 45.5%, giving Briar a 9.1 percentage point advantage. Briar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
