Vi vs Mel Matchup Summary

The Vi vs Mel matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Mel's 33.3%, giving Vi a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Vi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Mel players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Vi leads by 508 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vi players can confidently pick into Mel and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Mel away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Sustain
1,041Vi
533Mel
Vi vastly out-sustains Mel, healing and mitigating 508 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Mel is forced to recall.
