Viktor is in a bad spot right now, I don't suggest playing him now, he has a 46% WR medium winrate and barely reaches a 50% WR at 40 minutes in the game.

Anyway, his strenghts are:

Great zoning capability thanks to his abilities having damage more backloaded and his W being a wide zoning tool;

His augmented E which allows him to shove the enemy midlaner in and deny them from roaming, probably his best streght and his iconic feature;

Constant high DPS if he's allowed to Q > AA often.

His weakness are:

Being an immobile champion: any slows result in him being caught, most other champion have an instant CC to back them up but Viktor doesn't;

Being very weak early, people can easily deny his augmented E by ganking him or poking him out of the lane, at which point Viktor just becomes dead weight since he can't shove anymore and can't roam at all since Viktor is all about, his E upgrade also cost 1250g and means he can't buy any other items before it without delaying his iconic feature;

Being a short range mage, and his ultimate being slower the more distant he is, means he needs to be pretty close to more beefy target and in AA range of ADCs where he can't reliabily maneuvre his ultimate and use his Q without risking to get picked off;

His damage is very delayed, Q requires you to AA, E needs a second to detonate and his ultimate has a 2 seconds delay between discharges, this means that a high mobility champion or somebody who is not stunned (from allied CC or your W) can easily dodge your damage and burst you back quickly, lifesteal it back or tank it.

He was nerfed because of Rylai's, but after they also nerfed Ryali's he just become clunky to play, everthing feels like you're playing in slow moton, you need too much team coordination to land most of your damage, most mid can land it on their own and faster.
