correct me if i'm wrong, but i think viktor has a much higher base durability then most other mages. And while the Q isn't dependable, it -will- save you from damage in several situations, making it useful. I generally like to abuse the range of the E to keep poking my opponent for free, so by the time i decide to burst them, they are already in dire straits, and often die to my ult alone, without E or Q. whats better, is that because the stun is Aoe, you can usually do it with a helpless jungler nearby (depends on the jungler, but that applies to -all- of stonewalls top tier junglers, and even strong gankers like rammus or mao). Furthermore, because of his free AP/lvl, he snowballs fast and hard; very much like ryze.

Also, concerning teamfights, if you have a good tank like amumu or rammus (especially amumu), viktor's ult is absolutely lethal in teamfights. One of the coolest things you can do with his ult is the launch it while the enemy team is getting baron, and if they decide to keep going they are essentially dead. Viktor's kit reminds me very much of chogaths: chogaths knockup is hard to hit with, but if coupled with any other cc, makes an incredible stunlocking tool.

p.s. with standard mage stuff, or even tanky mage stuff, i generally end games with ~600 AP.
