Poppy vs Vi Matchup Summary
The Poppy vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Poppy wins with a 55.6% win rate compared to Vi's 44.4%, giving Poppy a 11.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Poppy controls the early laning stage, but Vi outscales as the game goes longer.

Poppy 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.
