So, I keep hearing about how Viktor's passive isn't all that bad, that's it's less denying him a valuable slot lategame than it is giving him a totally unique item (granted other champions would find the passives on them useless but I digress). I'm still not sure. I did some calculations of it:

- 99 AP, sets fire to enemies for an additional 30% damage.


 * Basic Item Statistic's Worth of 2153 gold, 215% more efficient.

- 200 mana, 10% cooldown reduction, 5 mana regeneration, 54 AP, has an extra 30% cast range.


 * Basic Item Statistic's Worth of 2197 gold, 220% more efficient.

- 220 health, 6 health regeneration, now gives 30% movement speed on use.


 * Basic Item Statistic's Worth of 1971 gold, 197% more efficient.

Now, compare that to, say, something like a fully stacked RoA's worth of 4755 gold, Zhonyas' 3610 gold's worth, and Rabadon's 3263 (soon to be 3393, and it can only increase from there), and it's not difficult to see why people think they're not that great of an item lategame. Heck yeah they're probably the most cost efficient items in the entire game, but in order for them to be on par with the best legendary items for slot worth the passives would need to be valued at at least 1000g apiece.
