Nidalee vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Nidalee vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Nidalee wins with a 62.5% win rate compared to Vi's 37.5%, giving Nidalee a 25.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Nidalee controls the early laning stage, but Vi outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Nidalee 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 0.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Nidalee 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.

Utility
0.2Nidalee
1.1Vi
Vi brings significantly more crowd control than Nidalee, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Vi far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
1,043Nidalee
1,782Vi
Vi vastly out-sustains Nidalee, healing and mitigating 739 more damage per minute.

Nidalee dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Vi. This lopsided early game means Nidalee 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 60.0% win rate — 20.0 points above Nidalee. 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: Nidalee 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.
