Jarvan IV vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Jarvan IV vs Vi matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 68 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 52.9% win rate compared to Jarvan IV's 47.1%, giving Vi a 5.9 percentage point advantage. Vi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
