Liandyr's is a big item of discussion on Viktor. Despite his possible DPS presence with Augment: Death and or Chaos Storm, both have a burst compnonet before either of the DPS starts ticking. Each have a very amount of damage that it gives straight away and will often mean that the ticks from Liandry's will be less efficient and overall weaker and since both are AoE it reduces even further

Though true Liandry's removes the lowered damage for AoE components, it still is at only base strength and ticks less and less alongside each tick of either or of Viktor's DPS capable abilities. Keep in mind that the fact that the item is current % means that it only gets weaker as both of Viktor's DPS abilities tick.

In the case without Augment: Death, Liandry's becomes a bit better since the only DPS ability is the second portion of Chaos Storm's damage. With this in mind it may be better to get Liandry's to get the second DPS possibility with another Augment.

Another point for Liandry's is that even if the DPS it deals decreases with ticks from Vitkor's straight out damage, it is still additional burn making it a formiadble poke or teamfight adherement. Especially in the current HP meta it still has its role and luster. Often such targets with high HP are more of a nusciance than those with higher MR since Void Staff mitigates this heavily.

All in all it is still up for debate on Viktor, I'm mostly against it but, as listed, there are times where it is perfectly acceptable and viable on him
