Tips for playing Vi

A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.
Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

Tips for playing against Vi

A fully charged Vault breaker deals double damage. If you see Vi start to charge you should back off or try to dodge it.
Vi will shred your Armor and gain Attack Speed if she manages to hit you three times in a row. Try not to engage in extended brawls with her.
Vi cannot be stopped while using her ult. Remember to save your displacement effects until after she's done charging.

Lore

Raised on the mean streets of Zaun, Vi is a hotheaded, impulsive, and fearsome woman with very little respect for authority. She has always been a shrewd survivor, both from her youthful troublemaking topside and an unfairly long stint in Stillwater Hold. Now working with the Piltover Enforcers to keep the peace instead of breaking it, she wields mighty hextech gauntlets that can punch through walls—and criminals—with equal ease.
