I'm not saying you can't do well on Viktor (I'd say after 1900 elo or so the game revolves a lot more on other things than your personal knowledge of a champion) but I'm saying he's still mediocre at what he does the best, being a burst AP caster which used to be my favourite role before midgame became impossible with all the health stacking high mobility bruisers. If I still want to play, I have to pick someone like Kassadin and rely on roaming and snowballing to victory which is something Viktor can't do effectively. Besides, his lategame was already iffy. Now it's just worse.

I do hope his partial rework gives him true choice between all 3 possible variations of his passive. I think the AP bruiser build with Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Iceborn Gauntlet and Power Transfer Augment is nifty, but ultimately gives me the feeling that I'm just delaying the inevitable because AD characters have much better sustained damage either way, just unload whatever burst damage I have with a pure AP build and immediately die afterwards - such is the fate of characters like Annie and Brand who I also think are underpowered. Mid range, low mobility burst mages with little in the way of utility.

At least he's getting reworked unlike those other two. Wouldn't want a champion with this great visual design and voiceover go to waste, no?
