Jarvan IV vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Jarvan IV vs Vi matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 82 recent matches analyzed, Jarvan IV wins with a 52.4% win rate compared to Vi's 47.6%, giving Jarvan IV a 4.9 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Jarvan IV controls the early laning stage, but Vi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Jarvan IV needs to press advantages before Vi reaches their power spikes, while Vi should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Jarvan IV leads by 302 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Jarvan IV has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Vi's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
