AI Analysis

Early Game Tempo

In this game you spent too long on the wrong side of the map a few times, like starting blue without a clear reason, staying after first clear instead of resetting, and then wandering around your jungle while camps were waiting elsewhere. The fix is to plan your first clear around what you want to do next, not just to clear for the sake of clearing — if you finish a side and your next camps or play are on the other side, reset and move with purpose instead of padding time. On Vi especially, you want your early minutes to turn into either a clean gank or a clean reset, because wasted movement makes you fall behind the exact tempo that lets you threaten lanes and objectives.

Recall Timing

You repeatedly stayed on the map with a lot of gold, then went into fights or objectives before spending it, and that left you much weaker than you should have been. A good habit is to treat every successful skirmish as a possible reset window: if you can buy items and come back stronger before the next play, that is usually better than forcing one more move with a full pocket. On a lethality Vi build, those recalls matter even more because your damage spikes hard off items, so showing up late to a fight with unspent gold often means you lose the burst window you were trying to play for.

Map Awareness

A big part of your problems came from not noticing fights until they were already collapsing, like when Kled was getting chased, when your team was already backing up, or when you walked into situations that were already lost on the map. You need to build the habit of glancing at lanes and the minimap before every camp, every recall, and every engage so you can tell whether a teammate is actually saveable or already dead. That extra half-second of checking lets you decide whether to turn, hover, or keep farming, which is especially important on jungle because you’re often the first person who can influence the next fight.

Engaging

You kept taking solo engages into four people, especially when your team was not in position to follow, and several of those fights ended with you dying for no real gain. The better pattern on lethality Vi is to wait for your team to be close enough to convert your engage, or to use fog and flanks so you hit the backline instead of frontlining into the enemy’s tanks and peel. If your team is split or already losing the fight, patience is usually stronger than forcing the button — Vi is great at starting fights, but only when the start actually leads to a kill or a numbers advantage.

Target Selection

You often went into the wrong target, like hitting Malphite or diving the front line when Samira or Lux were the real problems, and that cost you fights even when the engage itself looked okay. When you build lethality, your job is to delete the highest-value squishy target you can realistically reach, not the first champion in front of you. In practice that means looking for angles around the tanks, holding your engage until you can access the backline, and choosing the target that actually changes the fight instead of the one that just happens to be available.
