I personally think that Viktor would be better suited towards an Ultimate skin, easier way to impliment the changes, while not duplicating an already existing ultimate skin's function. Obviously Udyr's functions based on his current stance, which was a unique mechanic for him specifically, whereas Ezreal's functions off of his ultimate leveling up. While the ultimate leveling is a perfectly acceptable way to do this, I think Riot may be more inclined to go with another unique function. Viktor's Hex Cores as you mentioned is a prime example of a unique skin function. Maybe even stacking abilities like Nasus Q?

I do agree that the skin is likely to go to a mid laner based on the fact which you started, Udyr, while traditionally jungle can be played top laner which eliminates two lanes, Ezreal is ADC, which means bot lane got a skin as well, it's sensible that mid laners get the skin, and what way to draw more attention to Viktor and even more so with the gameplay update that is in the pipeline. It's an overall logical choice for a legendary skin.
