Neeko vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Neeko vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Neeko wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Vi's 40.0%, giving Neeko a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Neeko 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. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Vi leads by 823 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Neeko players can confidently pick into Vi and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Vi away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
829Neeko
617Vi

Economy
13,153Neeko
13,198Vi

Sustain
733Neeko
1,556Vi
Vi vastly out-sustains Neeko, healing and mitigating 823 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Neeko is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Neeko, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
