Key takeaways
- Current data slightly favors Viktor, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Viktor wins 56.5% of 124 games (95% range 47.7–64.9%).

- Irelia usually wins the lane: 1,288 gold ahead of Viktor at 15 minutes on average (76 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
- Viktor players pick Armored Advance far more often against Irelia: 2.6% of their other Mid games, 27.6% here.
How we calculate this
Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.
A game only counts when Viktor and Irelia played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.
The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.
Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.
"What changes" compares Viktor's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).
Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Viktor Build vs Irelia
Usual Viktor build (Mid)
100.0% win rate · 13 games
Against Irelia
Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 4 of 38 Viktor games against Irelia carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Viktor's standard build instead.
- Viktor usually completes Blackfire Torch first, at 12.3 min (median of 65 games).
- Irelia usually completes Blade of The Ruined King first, at 10.5 min (median of 75 games).
- Skill priority: E > Q > W — the same as usual.
Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
