Ekko vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Ekko vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 53 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 54.7% win rate compared to Ekko's 45.3%, giving Vi a 9.4 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vi controls the early laning stage, but Ekko outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vi needs to press advantages before Ekko reaches their power spikes, while Ekko should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. 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. Vi has a strong advantage in this matchup. Ekko players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Vi overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
1.2Ekko
1.1Vi
Ekko and Vi farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.1 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
696Ekko
574Vi
Ekko heavily out-damages Vi by 122 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Vi should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Ekko's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,422Ekko
11,784Vi
Ekko earns 638 more gold per game than Vi, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Ekko slightly faster item completions.
Utility
0.7Ekko
1.0Vi
Both Ekko 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
1,230Ekko
1,442Vi
Vi vastly out-sustains Ekko, healing and mitigating 211 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Ekko is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Ekko, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Best Ekko Build Against Vi

Sorcerer's Shoes is the optimal boots choice against Vi, providing the mobility and stats Ekko needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Ekko against Vi are Shadowflame, Zhonya's Hourglass and Rabadon's Deathcap. This combination gives Ekko an effective balance of damage, survivability, and utility for the matchup. This build performs exceptionally well, achieving a 100.0% win rate across 8 games — well above average and making it the top item path against Vi. Adjustments may be needed based on team compositions and game state, but this build provides the strongest foundation for the Ekko vs Vi matchup.

Vi late game win rateVi42.9%

Vi dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 62.5% win rate — a 25.0 percentage point lead over Ekko. This lopsided early game means Vi can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Ekko is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 57.1% win rate — 14.3 points above Vi. Extended games heavily favor Ekko, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Vi must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Ekko reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Ekko survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
