Irelia vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Irelia vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Irelia wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Vi's 33.3%, giving Irelia a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Irelia 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.
