Prior to factoring in resistances, Vi's W at max rank requires the enemy to have 2250 health to do as much on-hit damage per auto as Irelia's W. But I think that the 50% AS buff probably makes up for that.

Except that Vi's W scales. Quite well, actually. About 3% per 100 (bonus) AD. So if a Vi ever made it to 300 AD, it'd be 16% max health per-hit. Then again, if Vi ever made it to 300 AD (200 bonus), the % health damage would likely be the last of your worries (excluding 5k minion farm Sion, who would really start hating his (un)life).

Back on topic, though, I'm actually rather curious: in the situation where you are, say, a toplane Vi, would you rather max Q for the improved damage and cooldown / pushing power, W for the improved slug-fest-ing, or E for the somewhat safer pushing power/passive-aggressive lane harass? I suppose personally I would look at W for the max (saves tons of mana), but what would you guys do?

Why do people seem to not look very much at Vi's W late game power? One or two damage items (especially if one of them has armor shred/pen) means it basically becomes an always-active better-scaling Irelia W.
