Farming
1.1Leona
2.0Vi
Vi significantly out-farms Leona by 0.9 CS per minute, accumulating an estimated 13 CS lead by mid game. This substantial farming gap gives Vi a major gold advantage and earlier item completions.

Damage
514Leona
609Vi
Vi heavily out-damages Leona by 94 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Leona should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Vi's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,819Leona
10,988Vi
Leona and Vi generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 169 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
2.2Leona
0.9Vi
Leona brings significantly more crowd control than Vi, with 1.3 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Leona far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Vi should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,434Leona
750Vi
Leona vastly out-sustains Vi, healing and mitigating 684 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Leona can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Vi is forced to recall.
