Vi vs Jax Matchup Summary

The Vi vs Jax matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 74 recent matches analyzed, Jax wins with a 60.8% win rate compared to Vi's 39.2%, giving Jax a 21.6 percentage point advantage. Jax 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 Vi leads by 0.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Jax has a strong advantage in this matchup. Vi players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Jax overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
1.2Vi
1.4Jax

Damage
527Vi
651Jax

Sustain
1,444Vi
