Well, now we all have a more finished look at what the Viktor gameplay update will behold.

I can easily say, this is a fantastic improvment that really captures the feel of Viktor and Riot was very level-headed with the changes and it seems they made it a huge priority to keep the identity of Viktor intact and upgraded

As for each individual changes:

Power Siphon: Functions very similar to his current iteration but is now an enhanced auto (I welcome our new Lich Bane core item) and gives him a good quick trading tool. The shield, speed boost, and all work directly the same with the current "Kitemachine" build and that can still be intact as well.

Gravity Field: Straight up improvment, longer range, faster activation, and a far supeiror Augment effect. We have our own Ori ult for the wombo combo now!

Death Ray: Here in lies the most interesting change, while Power Transfer changed from a cast to the auto enhancer Power Siphon I still feel the Death Ray change has brought a new key element to the ability. The additional damage from the Augment functions as what seems to be a "trailing skillshot" that follows the original vector the Death Ray will fire at. Simialr to Vel'koz's W, but if it followed the attack rather than a stationary zone. This'll make aiming the Death Ray far more cruical as it'll still likely be a high-range, high CD ability in the early to mid game that would be a major damage threat to hit both instances.

Chaos Storm: Not much new, lost some base damage, gained some scaling, more speed to the ult, and it doesn't silence anymore. The latter is the bigger factor, but it does compensate with a channel cancel (which means the Glorious Herald still counters Cancerina.)

As a long time Viktor enthusiast, I cannot wait for these changes!
