Any character that relys on keeping people by their turret is just setting themselves up for disappointment. There's no denying Vi isn't a strong top laner, but she WILL reward you if you can struggle through. You don't even need to win, just not fall behind too much.

Personally I normally play defensively, letting the lane push back to my tower whenever I can and avoid using e as much as poissble, then wait for a mistake or a gank while focusing on farming.

However i'd much rather play her in the jungle, she's a strong ganker, and you don't need to level up E for harrass, i see it as a bit of a trap skill.
