I love to play an off-tank Vi. She just has those "lock-on" ults and abilities that carry her foward and fun to 1v1 with J4 or something. For me, it doesn't matter what lane you go. (I don't jungle) So here's my build:

Beserker's Grieves (Furor enchantment for more aggression)

Frozen Mallet

Warmog's Armor

Blade of the Ruined King

Zephyr

Ravenous Hydra

Infinity Edge

And of course, Ignite and Flash as Summoner Spells

Might not be the best build for you guys but it certainly does help me. In early game, if going for this build, doesn't matter what lane you go, but it's the champions on the lane. If survivability is a high priority, get Ruby Crystal as starter. Otherwise, get Boots of Speed and a few Health Potions.

In mid-game and further on, Vi is a really good minion-clearer. The Q and E really comes in handy. Q damages them and lines them up and E finishes them all off in one fell swoop.

Later on in the game, when you're confident enough and have the Tier 2 and 3 of your build (what you guys call the advanced and legendary items), target the squishies who are alone then move on to the others. In team fights, if the enemy crowd is close enough to your team and the one who is in the front is weak enough, ult the weak one in front, killing the target and knocking aside all others. Then Q away while your team goes in to engage.

If you're facing your counters, wait for them to use all their abilities and catch them in cooldown, use decoys and turrets, or gain the upper hand by striking first. But honestly, I can't find any counters for Vi nowadays. That's why I love playing her... and makes a good tsundere~

Seriously, they ought to make a Rainbow Dash skin for her. That brash attitude totally goes with it... not to mention Hecarim... Plus Vi's Q and Hecarim's E. Perfect for trails of distracting rainbows.... XD
