Bunch of hipsters, all of you.

No pro player has picked him up because honestly, Viktor just doesn't have his own specific niche. He doesn't have the roaming power of champions like Ahri, Kassadin, Katarina and Twisted Fate, he doesn't have the utility of Orianna or Anivia, he doesn't have the hyperscaling of Ryze and Karthus and so on. He's a squishy mid-ranged mage in the same weird spot with Brand and Annie, plus the advent of mids like Wukong and Lee Sin have further cemented this spot by abusing his glaring weaknesses.

He will never be popular. At least not until his partial rework.
