Been trying to run vi as an assassin recently. Doesn't work against all comps, sometimes you have to go tankier, but if you alredy have two tanks on your team it can be really effective. You have a reasonable amount of cdr, and when you ult something squishy, it usually dies in R-AA-E-AA-AA(While waiting for trinity)--E. You're not tanky, but if you run the right runes and build mallet you're not squishy enough to burst either, especially with your passive. I've usually been doing this mid (she's an awesome counterpick to those pesky AD assassins), thought I've tried it against some top matchups. If I'm jungling, I'll swap out the brutalizer for an early SotLE, which I try to sell for a cleaver if the game gets to full builds.

Brutalizer --> Boots --> Hydra --> Upgrade Boots (Lucidities as a luxury item, mercs usually) --> Phage --> Frozen Mallet --> Build phage into trinity --> BFS --> Finish BC --> Finish BT
