Nocturne vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Nocturne vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 168 recent matches analyzed, Nocturne wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Vi's 42.9%, giving Nocturne a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Nocturne 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 crowd control, where Nocturne leads by 4.8s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Nocturne 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.

Farming
1.1Nocturne

Damage
668Nocturne

Utility
5.8Nocturne
1.0Vi
Nocturne brings significantly more crowd control than Vi, with 4.8 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Nocturne 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
1,337Nocturne
1,555Vi
Vi vastly out-sustains Nocturne, healing and mitigating 218 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Nocturne is forced to recall.
