Nidalee vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Nidalee vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 22 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 90.9% win rate compared to Nidalee's 9.1%, giving Vi a 81.8 percentage point advantage. Vi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Nidalee players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Vi leads by 0.7s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vi has a strong advantage in this matchup. Nidalee 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.
