If his passive didn't take an item slot, we'd have a champ whose late game would be better than other, because he'd have 7 items! Comparing hex core with a blasting wand is nothing short of an exaggeration, since the stats provided, along with the augment, are strong enough by themselves for the gold they cost. To give you a slight comparation, you're getting zhonya's worth of AP for the death Augment, except you're not paying 2100 gold for 50 armor and the active. Also, I disagree that his abilities are subpar without the augment. They have good damage, scaling, and alot of utility by themselves, not to mention the versatility and range death ray provides even without the Dot.

The comparisons to renekton is exaggerated too. I'll put it this way. Does viktor have to auto attack 10 times to get his stats and the bonus effect for his ability?
