Vi is kinda meh as a jungler cause she needs lots of levels to do her stuff now. Also junglers are required to go down the tanky route, not the best for Vi imo, she need some damage. Basically she's a worst Jarvan as a jungler.
Idk if she works toplane as far as laning goes, I can see her failing at 1v2 so might not even be an option, but with item she can become monstrous. Saying she scales worst than malphite is extremely wrong, Vi with items and levels is a destruction machine, the problem is getting there.

MF less picked now cause twitch doing what she does but better

A lot of the hype was justified though. She had insane burst and sustained damage with her W. Vi's engage and ability to lock down a target was really strong with her ult. The problem was that she was nerfed so that you need to get much more exp and farm to be useful, which is hard to come by in the jungle. At the same time, during the period before she got nerfed, Hecarim was arguably the stronger choice since Hec dealt just as much damage if not more and had a stronger engage since his ult was aoe.

Vi would probably have a place top lane, but she doesn't 1v2 well so the threat of a 1v2 lane keeps her from being played as a solo in competitive games. She's still a solid solo q pick for jungle or solo, though.

Don't know if this is the right place to boast, but a reported 932,000 concurrent viewers on the live streams. Just shy of League of Legends' 1.1 million concurrent viewer record. Dota2 getting owned by League's championships LAST YEAR LEWL.

Yea, Vi used to be incredibly scary at level 3 with double buff the way J4 is now. After all the nerfs Vi is kinda meh until she gets a decent amount of farm/levels.

MF and Twitch fulfill different roles. Twitch is more about being the core of the team that you want to protect, while MF is basically an ult-bot for team fights. Imo, Twitch is more akin to Kog'maw than MF.

That is because Vi tries to do it with SOTAG + 1 ruby crystal, whereas Malphite does it with Sunfire+Randuins (plus kits obviously, even though for diving purposes her passive is just like Malphite's). Back before her nerfs, Vi did what Zed kinda does now in midlane: super reliable nearly infinite waveclear + very safe + kill potential, plus she abused League of Cleaver really well.

In any case, before her release every pro was like creaming themselves about her, which is why I said she was so overhyped.

Too bad that doesnt count the other couple hundred thousand plus that were watching the game inclient. I'd wait out on boasting/celebrating until a complete total of viewers is announced.

Twitch being core of the team is because he can move while he ults, and because his ult scales so well. If you're designing an AoE comp these days you pick twitch because he offers lots of things besides the aoe, not MF, except for very designated situations.

No need to wait, it's pretty clear League Worlds will have higher viewership.

Wohoo League of Legends number one eSport for life! Let's shit on the other eSports so that way we can be the big bad dog to compete with all the other avenues for corporate sponsorship and show that our industry is really worth investing in.
