I never knew a simple champ like Vi can be this complicated, these mechanics make her become more practical in PVP. Now I got something new to learn.

[@andrewwoan]

these are so mind blowing. that ult insec thing is crazyyyy

[@SleepyFen]

Pulling it against a moving, human opponent is going to be a whole different challenge, though. But maybe a one-trick could learn to do it consistently with persistent practice

@@SleepyFen This streamer --> Smellfungvi is a Vi OTP and he have done it in game on stream, and he made a video on the ult combos 7 months ago, and was the first to find out about it. He also called it "Fungsec" I think. Kinda weird that there is no credit...

[@Sinvallis]

@@SleepyFen I guess even one tricks will struggle and wasting flash is probably not worth the try

[@SleepyFen]

@@Sinvallis some of the Insec combos on Lee Sin are also very difficult to pull off consistently, yet we still see dedicated players managing it in ranked games.

[@gabriele1417]

@@SleepyFen but flash kick lee is actually much safer than this, cast time is very little and opponent cant do nothin during lee casting R, so if R then flash thats just guaranteed, Vi will have to flash trying to do that on a moving target that can flash aswell, so it would be just better to either flash right on him or let him waste flash and dive next.

[@happySmoke123]

Alby ana

[@setsunanarukami3937]

I tested her QRF and I got it to consistently hook \o/ Depending on where Vi is and what direction you flash from, it'll change where the enemies are pushed because Vi is coded as temporarily facing the direction that she flashed towards at the start of her ultimate cast (even though the model itself doesn't show that.) This also depends on what side of the enemy you're on when you flash. Knowing this, you can manipulate which ways enemies are pushed or "pulled". Here're a few of diagrams of the interaction: Legend - V = Vi X = Enemy F = Direction of Flash R = Target of Vi's Ult This setup will push enemies towards Vi's R target: X F X R V X This setup will push enemies away from Vi's R target: X V X F R X This setup will push two enemies away and one enemy towards Vi's R target: X V F X R X Hopefully this helps with understanding how the "hook" of her ult works \o/

Very good and intrigicate explanation, ty for taking your time testing and elaborating it in such a good way!

[@treymtz]

These combos have existed for many years, but were not feasible to use in solo queue until the recent bugfixes she got to her Q. I'd imagine these will be the next Lee Sin insec where everyone uses them in a few years.

[@AsusanXT]

My thoughts exactly, it was always there.

[@sebastianlabrarojas1127]

but not all of them, Q Flash wasn't possible until the Q bugfix

[@RekashalGames]

Yeah I thought the same. I always knew this was possible but you couldn't really do it. Just forgot that this existed but seeing it makes me want to jump back on vi lmao.

[@Frightning]

@@sebastianlabrarojas1127 Q flash was possible several years ago, I even used it in actual games a few times, what you had to do back then was save the flash until your Q reached the end of it's dash distance, that was the only way to carry the dmg and knockback through flash. It looks like now you can always carry it through flash, judging from the vid. Most of these combos aren't actually that practical in real games (he curiously didn't bother to mention the fairly basic but important standard Vi Combos, Q+auto+E (for fast 3-hit), and Q-auto-E-R-auto-E (for 2 fast 3 hits+uses R, good for all-in's). For both, by E I mean hit E and use the reset attack timer to auto them immediately.

[@arbitervildred8999]

7:40 to make the hook consistent you have to cast R after Q has ended, if you go frame by frame at the very end of Q animation Vi is facing backwards, making her to charge with her face into the first dummy, taking it with her (as hooked). If q animation is not done, you will hit the dummy facing it with your back, making it go away another frame by frame notice is that the dummy is pushed away when Q Flash hits it, as it flies away and the R is cast from right to left, you can see the dummy taking the R hit, changing the dirrection to left.

the ult trick (QRF) can be used to enemies that you're targeting as well as his/her teammate if backup ever shows up. for example, there is a champ with low health that you're chasing, then his/her teammate appears, you can kill the low health champion with the trick then immediately go to the backup via the same technique. This way Vi can be on the ban list again.

As a Vi OTP i love how the Video starts with "Flash in Q to reach longer :3" then it proceeds to explain highly mathematic angles to have precise pushes you have to press Q in one direction instantly point and click a target opposite site then as you almost touch the enemie flash a pixel into the direction you want to be pushing the target to then hook them with ult. And in the end there is Use R to go through CC :)

[@eryalmario5299]

another tip is when using q vi's model faces the side that ur charging ur q so u can charge in another direction unless you right click to that direction vi's model faces that direction. Good way to pretend you're escaping to turn back to them

It would be nice hoompty would say exactly how useful he considers each combo to be. The useless and niche combos mix into the seemingly useful ones with nothing differentiating them.

[@Heylon1313]

I don't think that would add any value to be honest. If you cannot the identify the usefulness of a combo by yourself, chances are you probably wouldn't be able to use it well in a game even if you know.

[@francesthemute9486]

@@Heylon1313 I disagree if you look up any other guide to a champion they will tell you what combos you should be looking to use in what situation. Just look at Katarina or zed. They have many combos but any guide will tell you "this is your trade combo and this is your all-in combo this is why they're good in this situation".

[@dylan-sk8mt]

@@francesthemute9486 i think these combos are super situational you know, when are you gonna build Galeforce on Vi? like it’s just an interesting mechanic, the flash ult stuff is another situationally one, if you all in one champ and they are low you can ult a champ behind them and flash to get the dmg off to secure it, i think it’s outside of her realm of consistency when it comes to just playing vi standard you know?

[@dylan-sk8mt]

the Q connect Flash one is in my opinion the best one to make use every game , it good for moving champs and can secure kills very easily.

[@petrikillos]

@@dylan-sk8mt Easily?! I have been three hours now trying to pull it off even ONCE and I cannot get it to work. I can do the galeforce one just right most of the times but Q connect flash is literally impossible.

Awesome video, awesome. Vi is ona of my mains and I love her, this was great. I cant get to do the double knock up with a q though, seems quite difficult

[@timlad5105]

I have been a Vi main for a number of seasons... I cannot believe that I didn't notice the opportunity for the "insec" q with flash with the quality of like changes that went through fairly recently. I also like any video that demonstrates the Vi is not a brainless champ to play and actually has some mechanical depth. Really nice video!

[@jakebennett9130]

She has more mechanical depth than a lot of champs tbf. A lot more than cait or yone as a couple examples. The only sad thing is how many of these combos use flash, but some of those combos might be able to be replicated with prowler 's

[@benedictprove3937]

Yo Hoompty, I really love this series, but I'm wondering if it might be useful to try putting a clip of one of the weirder/lesser known combos right at the start of your videos to catch people's attention. Because you always have these combos and mechanics that I've never heard of, but I can see a new viewer watching the first few seconds and thinking that they're already gonna know all of them. Or maybe you can find some other way of achieving the same thing like more detailed time stamping.

[@Juguitosdemora]

Hey hoompy I was practicing a bit in practice tool and canceling your e with q also works with items, but not only that doing it with items makes your next auto go faster something like riven, so you can do aa+e+item+q+aa.

[@redrabbit2401]

This is awesome. I am very happy to see Vi's true potential be revealed, but it's sad that most of these combos require flash.

[@antonypistachio5476]

That QRF looks absolutely insane tbh. Not saying this will magically make Vi take over, but a problem I have had with her is that you'd mainly just look for the squishy and single them out or just ult the tank standing in the middle of the team for max CC. This doubles up on that and the Q engage makes this a safer engage for more damage (still have 2 e AoE auto's left after this) and you still have your shield all the while likely hitting a 2-5 man ult in team fights because of it.

[@JbZeta]

I just finished a game with Vi and I was really happy because I ulted someone and then pushed them out of turret and into my team with Q, so youtube had to humble me putting this in my recommended

[@onebeets]

for anyone who doesnt have Q + galeforce work, Q range/position doesnt matter but the pull only happens if you gale exact same millisecond as enemy goes airborne. one frame before/after and you wont pull

[@petrikillos]

I'm getting that one consistently but the flash one I cannot for the life of me get to work. Like I'm never gonna buy galeforce, but it's the one I know how to do 9/10 times .-.

[@Vexy93]

I think they were bugs and they fixed most of them, because now I can no longer do most of the things shown here, just the R+Flash and animation cancels with E

[@pinclerinus]

the reason why flash is seen as longer with flash q is because flash cancels animation and motion early. you can still actually achieve the same distance if you flash on the same frame that animation is about to cancel on. Hard to do but not impossible and takes ALOT of practice

[@kuubbee]

This mans been theory crafting in the practice tool for hours and I thank you for that.

[@cennix]

0:54 can someone explain to me how you do this? I've been trying for hours to get it right and still can't do it consistently

[@delivermypain]

k so you q towards the target, right? But you aim to behind them instead of in front of them. So like the q passes just by them so you end up behind them and the exact moment you are behind them, just before the q charge period ends, you use flash to go on top of the target, making the q push them backward. I hope that makes a bit of sense

riot doesn't even know that vi can do that

[@BrunoRosik]

I main Vi for 6 years and i already know all that, but is nice to see people try some of these in game. haha 90% are impratical in a high level league of legends and Vi is still low tier in high elo The only mechanic in the video you can apply with a constant rate is the Flash Q behind the enemy to bring him closer to your team. The itens are not optimal for Vi, no one of those, so you can just rely on flash Q. The R + Flash trick is quite usefull is all the stars are alined, but we know that is so absurd and sometimes you cant think like that en priorize the wrong champion. Btw, nice video and good job

some of these are patched out. r during q animation doesnt deal q damage if q was gonna miss so no real point doing that.. you can still pull an enemy closer to your r target with flash. pulling enemies with items and q also patched out, except for everfrost, that still works for some reason; also you can make a really weird interreaction with rocketbelt and q where you definetly hit them with q, but they are not knocked back, they just stay there.

Do you get unstoppable in q if you use the R while Q combo?

[@Orrissan]

I would say no. That combo seems less using R while in Q and more hitting Q and immediately following up with R. Maybe if the CC hit at the last second. However if you can hit them with Q you are in R range, so your R would go off either way unless it was a stun, so if the CC worked you would just lose damage.
