Jax vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Jax vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 80 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 55.0% win rate compared to Jax's 45.0%, giving Vi a 10.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Jax controls the early laning stage, but Vi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Jax 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 crowd control, where Vi leads by 0.4s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vi has a strong advantage in this matchup. Jax 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
1.4Jax
1.2Vi
Jax and Vi farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 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
742Jax
639Vi
Jax heavily out-damages Vi by 104 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 Jax's sustained damage advantage take over.

12,509Jax
12,116Vi
Jax earns 393 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 Jax slightly faster item completions.
Utility
0.7Jax
1.1Vi
Vi provides 0.4 seconds more crowd control per minute than Jax, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Vi coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
1,404Jax
1,616Vi
Vi vastly out-sustains Jax, healing and mitigating 213 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Jax is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Jax, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Best Jax Build Against Vi

Mercury's Treads is the optimal boots choice against Vi, providing the mobility and stats Jax needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Jax against Vi are Sundered Sky, Blade of The Ruined King and Trinity Force. This combination gives Jax an effective balance of damage, survivability, and utility for the matchup.

Vi late game win rateVi61.4%

Jax dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 52.8% win rate — a 5.6 percentage point lead over Vi. This lopsided early game means Jax can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Vi is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 61.4% win rate — 22.7 points above Jax. Extended games heavily favor Vi, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Jax must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Vi reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Vi 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.
