Vi vs Volibear Matchup Summary

The Vi vs Volibear matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 47 recent matches analyzed, Volibear wins with a 61.7% win rate compared to Vi's 38.3%, giving Volibear a 23.4 percentage point advantage. Volibear dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

The most significant statistical gap is in CS, where Volibear leads by 0.2 CS/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Volibear has a strong advantage in this matchup.

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.
