Vi is a Diver that deals physical (AD) damage and brings airborne. Some of their lockdown (airborne) ignores tenacity, so you dodge it; you can't cleanse or Merc' through it. Below is Vi's highest-win-rate build from high-elo games; open the counter-build tool to tune it against your specific enemy team.

PLAYING ASVi
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.
PLAYING AGAINSTVi
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.
