Zed vs Vi Matchup Summary

The Zed vs Vi matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 11 recent matches analyzed, Vi wins with a 63.6% win rate compared to Zed's 36.4%, giving Vi a 27.3 percentage point advantage. Vi dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Zed 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 0.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Vi has a strong advantage in this matchup. Zed 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.

Sustain
968Zed
1,597Vi
Vi vastly out-sustains Zed, healing and mitigating 630 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vi can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Zed is forced to recall.
