Galio vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Galio vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Galio's 40.0%, giving Vi a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vi controls the early laning stage, but Galio outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vi needs to press advantages before Galio reaches their power spikes, while Galio should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Galio leads by 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vi has a strong advantage in this matchup. Galio 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.

Vi late game win rateVi33.3%

Vi dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Galio. This lopsided early game means Vi can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Galio is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 66.7% win rate — 33.3 points above Vi. Extended games heavily favor Galio, 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 Galio reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Galio 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.
