Compared to other Mages who have long range pokes that are consistent and reliable, Viktor has none of what they have. All of his spells have a short range save his ulti and even then the range factor is still mediocre. Because of this, he kited by long range type champs and quickly overwhelmed by melee champs. These are but a few of the major reasons to why Viktor's builds put more emphasis on bulkier builds.

If u become experienced enough though, u could probably work ur way around his major weaknesses. But its probably due to the fact that his early laning phase is crap and his spells have mediocre range coverage that he is almost never played in ranked games, especially important match ups.

However, in terms of build paths, Viktor is probably the most versatile due to his Hex Core focus. Viktor is about his ultimate spell which is supported by one of his 3 basic spells. So it's betr to learn multiple builds in order to betr adjust to ur team's strengths and ur opponent's weaknesses.
