How on earth is Viktor supposed to be a "mobility" mage. His laser is a very mobile source of damage because it can hit from many directions and ankles, therefore he does not need positioning tools. Viktor's job is: Stun + lazoe + ult and get out to watch them die. You are not supposed to jump around the battlfield like, SHE is a mobility mage.

Also, of course he will lose if you camp mid. Most Ap laners can't handel being camped. If he's pushed under tower, however, he can easily farm.

Short ranges? The onyl short range is his Q, which you only need if you get attacked 1v1 by an enemy bruiser or assasin. The laser's range is almost obscene and so is the ultimate.

is in no way similar to Viktor. Syndra is a low cd successive burst mage, with a single target overkill ultimate. Viktor is the opposite. He has high cooldown basivc burst and multitarget overkill ult damage over time.

About Ziggs. I don't think that will ever bringout that Aoe Burst that Ziggs does (who also needs little mana if played right). Maybe can do his job better to a certain extent, but she's not as safe as ziggs, due to lacking a viable escape. Get jumped as Lux and you die most of the time. Get jumped as Ziggs and you can still blast away, while on the way out throw the rest of your speels at the enemy. Lux has a oneshot burst combo. If you miss something you screwed up. If Ziggs misses his Q he will get another cahnce within the next few seconds. (also he farms more easily)
