Back in S2, when mid was my main lane, Viktor was my favourite champ. Now I go top, but still enjoy a game or 2 of mid Viktor. Top Viktor is a bit hard to pull off, but is the best place I find for Augment:Power.

It's true Morde is easy to gank, but as an Irelia player, he's just an easy kill. Morde's early game doesn't have the potential to fill up his shield with just an EQ combo. Even with W it doesn't go all the way. Since Irelia is good all around, she stomps him hard. SO does Jayce, because of his range, and most lane bullies. Heck, even teemo will give him a hard time. Morde is strong, I admit, but not early game. In 3 vs 3 though, he's a beast.

Nautilus is great currently. He has dmg, CC, free stuns and AoE. His abilities also scale well, so buying some items like Abissal scepter benefit him greatly. He is a tank before anything else, so his dmg is preety high for his role.His only downside is that is dmg TECHNICALLY does scale with defenses, but it won't increase his dmg dealt. (strength of shield scales woth HP, which makes shield harder to destroy, which means his Dot is available longer)

I didn't get Tris very well. I think you meant AP Tris, and so I say that is strong, but cooldowns are too high, and you need to put yourself in a too risky situation (W in). If they Zhonia's your W which isn't hard, you won't get a resent and end up in the middle of the enemy team. She is strong, there are just safer choices.

Heimer is the most annoying thing you will ever find in a lane. Why? Unlike teemo, you can't aproach this guy without losing a ton of HP to his turrets. And most heimers I see go for tank builds, which let him deal absurd dmg with turrets and not die.

Karma is strong. It's her dmg that is unreliable. Maybe vs a melee you can play vs, but most ranged can poke beetween minions, and you cannot.

Ziggs is strong. His poke is insane. But super spammable, meaning super low dmg. People prefer Lux, who is safer and more busty.
