Key Techniques

Building tanky and peeling for your ADC will get you pretty far with Vi, as her kit is well designed for this task. However, you won't become the best Vi in the world just with these basic concepts. Improving your technique when using Vi is extremely important for high level play. Here are some tricks I have learned over the course of spamming Vi:

1) Attack - > E -> Move -> Attack -> E

This is your bread and butter. Most people know how to reset their attack animation with skills like E by now. However, something to keep in mind is that your E is bugged - the attack right after your E is always extremely slow. So, to maximize your damage/positioning, you have to move right after the attack reset, and then attack->reset AGAIN. Mastering this mechanic is extremely important on Vi.

2) Q -> Flash -> Q

People are familiar with your Q range by now. They know its range. What they don't know is that you can flash while charging it, and then release for a 300 range longer Q. This can be used to initiate a gank, finish off a low HP enemy, stun someone before they can flash, etc.

3) Q over wall

Not what you think of when you're brainstorming high skill techniques, but this is something important to learn with Vi as your Q range changes when you charge it. Knowing exactly how much you need to charge to get over a wall is very important and almost always means the difference between life and death. Remember that an instant charge Q is -NEVER- enough.

4) Q->Attack->E

Another important combination. This is your bread and butter for ganking, and doing it flawlessly is a necessity. It also procs your w, if you didn't notice.

5) Long range E

This one's pretty basic as well, but still extremely important to learn. Your E hits targets behind the one you attack. So, it's important to angle your position so that you're in line with both the person you're attacking and your target (the person behind it).

6) R->Hit->E->Move->Q->Hit->E

Your full skill combo. Takes advantage of your downtime between attacks with Q, and stunlocks target for 3 seconds. Also procs your w twice if you can sneak an extra hit in there. Also make sure you hit the Q in the right direction, since you have time to position it while they are stunned.
