Vi vs Gwen Matchup Summary

The Vi vs Gwen matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 77.8% win rate compared to Gwen's 22.2%, giving Vi a 55.6 percentage point advantage. Vi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Gwen players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
