Vex vs Viktor Matchup Summary

The Vex vs Viktor matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 56 recent matches analyzed, Viktor wins with a 51.8% win rate compared to Vex's 48.2%, giving Viktor a 3.6 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vex controls the early laning stage, but Viktor outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vex needs to press advantages before Viktor reaches their power spikes, while Viktor should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Viktor leads by 116 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. While Viktor is slightly favored, Vex can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Viktor's mistakes. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
