Poppy vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Poppy vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 13 recent matches analyzed, Poppy wins with a 53.9% win rate compared to Vi's 46.1%, giving Poppy a 7.7 percentage point advantage. Poppy 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.
