Zac vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Zac vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 38 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 60.5% win rate compared to Zac's 39.5%, giving Vi a 21.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Vi controls the early laning stage, but Zac outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Vi needs to press advantages before Zac reaches their power spikes, while Zac should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Zac leads by 1,791 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vi has a strong advantage in this matchup. Zac players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Vi 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
1.0Zac
1.1Vi
Zac and Vi farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.1 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
577Zac
737Vi
Vi heavily out-damages Zac by 160 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Zac should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Vi's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,516Zac
11,923Vi
Vi generates a commanding 1,406 more gold per game than Zac. This substantial economic advantage means Vi consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Zac should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.4Zac
1.1Vi
Zac provides 0.3 seconds more crowd control per minute than Vi, offering better gank setup potential and slightly more team fight utility. This CC advantage helps Zac coordinate with their jungler and control the pace of skirmishes.
Sustain
3,310Zac
1,519Vi
Zac vastly out-sustains Vi, healing and mitigating 1,791 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Zac can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Vi is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Vi, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Best Zac Build Against Vi

Plated Steelcaps is the optimal boots choice against Vi, providing the mobility and stats Zac needs most in this matchup. The top-performing core items for Zac against Vi are Randuin's Omen, Thornmail and Sunfire Aegis. This combination gives Zac an effective balance of damage, survivability, and utility for the matchup. This build performs exceptionally well, achieving a 66.7% win rate across 3 games — well above average and making it the top item path against Vi. Adjustments may be needed based on team compositions and game state, but this build provides the strongest foundation for the Zac vs Vi matchup.

Vi late game win rateVi47.6%

Vi dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 76.5% win rate — a 52.9 percentage point lead over Zac. This lopsided early game means Vi can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

In the late game (25+ minutes), Zac takes over with a 52.4% win rate, leading Vi by 4.8 percentage points. Zac scales more effectively into team fights and objective contests.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Vi must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Zac reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Zac survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
