Viktor was always strong, but he wasn't played due to the fact that other mids did things better, need range and AoE, pick Ori, need burst, pick Fizz, need poke, play Ziggs. People are playing him now because he has a rework and want to experiment with it, and so people won't have figured out exactly how to fight him, so give it a few weeks. After people learn how to play against him and when the Viktor experimentors are done playing, then Rito might have a look at how healthy gameplay wise he is. Viktor at the moment doesn't have oppressive in the lane phase but does have decent poke if you go on the red path. He has very limited mobility or peel, but sorts itself after  you buy the yellow and blue hex-cores. His Q damage picks up really late into the game, and honestly, the movespeed is the best thing about the ability but that costs a thousand gold anyway. He'll get nerf I think, but they be massive.
