Darius vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Darius vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 39 recent matches analyzed, Darius wins with a 61.5% win rate compared to Vi's 38.5%, giving Darius a 23.1 percentage point advantage. Darius dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Vi players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Vi leads by 0.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Darius players can confidently pick into Vi and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Vi away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
701Darius

Utility
0.8Darius
1.0Vi
Both Darius and Vi provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.3s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Sustain
1,682Darius
1,495Vi
Darius vastly out-sustains Vi, healing and mitigating 188 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Darius can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Vi is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Vi, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
