![]() ![]() Unlike many other junglers who tend to be in meta usually, You don't have a very strong lvl 2 gank, so if your opponent jungler does, make sure to inform your team about it. In this case, that’s the recall animation.Early-Game You usually want to focus on farming, preferably single target camps such as red buff, blue buff and gromp / crab. It’s really a testament that one or two cool things can just bring skins over top of all the others. Her original skin, released back in 2012, has certainly stood the test of time. As a PROJECT skin, it of course comes with plenty of slick animations and effects on her strikes and dashes. Transforming her clunky, metallic gauntlets made by some Piltover mechanic into futuristic, cybernetic gauntlets just made far too much sense for the champion. I know, I know, I’m a sucker for the PROJECT skins, but sometimes they just work. For an older skin (this was released in 2013) having this unique recall animation makes this worth buying. You have Vi decked out in a police uniform, red lights and sirens going whenever she dashes in, and she even has a baton that she twirls on recall. Now, on the other hand, this a case where the skin and the concept behind it work wonderfully with the champion. The model and effects look amazing, but for whatever reason the whole concept of the Enforcer of Piltover transformed into a demon just doesn’t work for me. ![]() Here, Vi is portrayed as a demon complete with purple skin and bat wings that open every time she dashes forward. This is another skin where the idea and execution both work, but the theme doesn’t. And it’s not as though it was done tongue-in-cheek, Riot really seemed to be leaning into the idea that Vi was going to be a cute love interest to some other champion and it just doesn’t work. She’s supposed to be this brawling, rough-and-tumble enforcer, so it’s odd to see her get the feminine treatment. The reason I don’t like it, though, is that the Heartseeker/Valentines skin aesthetic just doesn’t really fit with Vi. This skin has all the bells and whistles to justify the increased cost, like new effects on her abilities and a nice addition of sprinkling petals on her recall animation. There are no new effects or interactions, so you should only go for this skin because you think it looks cool. While the price tag makes this appetizing and the artwork/style of the champion is interesting, this skin is otherwise fairly bland. One of her oldest skins, this also happens to be her cheapest.
