I doubt Tier 2 or 3 upgrades are going to happen; Riot is simply looking to make the other Tier 1 upgrades more lucrative (besides Death).

Just a quick note on FotM champs: Champions become FotM when they are used either in competitive play and it trickles down to the lower Elo players (proof was the rise of Akali after Westrice used him, Dyrus reviving Sion, M5 using Shyvana and AD Kennen, etc) or they are known soloQ pubstompers (Shaco, Talon, Fizz, Morde, etc).

Sadly, Viktor is not a pubstomper because of his skillcap and overall lack of tricks/gimmicks (although because he is relatively unknown, people are ignorant of his potential so that is exploitable). In addition, he will likely never be used in competitive play simply because he only has 5 item slots. He can't buy wards without being constrained in what he builds and frankly there are simply stronger mid picks right now (Cassi being the prime example).

tl;dr - In his current state, Viktor will never be FotM. It doesn't mean he's weak though :P
