3 seconds is already  damage. This is not minor damage, and that's still using the ability suboptimally. Again, you're just looking at specific parts of Viktor and comparing them to specific parts of other champions and drawing erroneous conclusions. Viktor is not Anivia, and both have different roles in the game (Anivia is a CC/utility mage, Viktor is an poke/burst mage, and both have great waveclear and area denial), which also means different strengths and weaknesses. Viktor has a lot more burst, and maneuverability than Anivia, who has more crowd control and DPS than Viktor. There are valid reasons to pick either one over the other, and right now you're just siding against Viktor.
