Anybody else feel that Vi's W is kind of... loaded? I mean people thought Vayne's silver bolts were strong, but Vi's W has 3 silver bolt passives in one... % max health, armor shred, AND self-synergizing attack speed buff... it just seems so loaded compared to older champs' on-hits... it feels kind of like how Yasuo has two passives while every other champion is stuck with one.

Vi's ult is annoying, yes, due to the "free kill, no counterplay gg" aspect of it when she's ganking or teamfighting. But people don't really seem to notice the immense offensive power Vi can bring, more than just a tank with an engage.

Vi's Q is strong, ult is strong, passive is balanced, E is balanced, and W is just... over the top.

They gave Vi so much damage in all her abilities, and gave her utility in her Q, R, and passive while they were at it...

I have yet to decide whether I feel Vi is "op" or simply "strong". (two forms of the same word that are swapped around depending on whether you want other people to feel that way).

On another topic, why don't I see any Vi toplanes? With the current tank meta Vi's W should be ridiculously strong - once she gets black cleaver and blade, Mundo will disappear. The problem with the Vi jungles that I see rush elder lizard and brutalizer is that they don't have the gold income to build bruiser and go full glass early, while a top laner would not have this kind of problem. 45% armor shred (I understand it stacks multiplicatively, not additively, but i'm feeling too lazy to do that math just now) should be quite strong, and the 12% max health you'd be doing, plus the 15% current health from blade... wow.
