Glad you're not trolls :)

The 2nd tier upgrades I suggested were a general example that I would consider balanced. More adaptable upgrades would be nice over picking a path and being stuck with it, but making Viktor TOO versatile would make him a bit OP, and destroy that "underdog status" that was mentioned. We can't have him simply pick Rock Paper Scissors against any threat. (In my opinion, he's more about building himaself up, rather than building in response to his opponent, and his augments represent different ways he can do that)

As for buffing his Q, there are plenty of ways to do it without making it OP: Increase the range; Increase the shield a good amount; increase the range and increase the shield a smaller amount, Make the shield stronger and occur on-hit(but make the projectile travel slower). I'm sure Riot could find an acceptible combination of these variables.
