If you give victor combat stats on his trinket then every champion will want combat stats on their trinkets. You can't give that to him and have it be fair by altering his base stats. At this moment every champion has to give up something to get extra penetration or cooldown reduction: Runes, Masteries or an item slot. But you would make it so that Viktor has to give up noting, so he can have the cake and eat it too.

That is in no way fair or balanced.
