I agree with Vahldeer in terms of the Ulti CD on Vik. It's waaaay too long for what it does, especially since the lack of an item slot makes CDR harder to stack for him than other AP champs due to lack of build versatility. I also thought that 120/110/100 (equivalent to Morgana's ulti) is more fair.

While I do agree with Senario that his Q is probably fine the way it is (the Q Augment on the other hand...), I don't think Vlad Q is exactly the best comparison. Vlad's Q is way more powerful: the health regained is instantenous and permanent (not a temp shield), the damage at early levels is comparable, the CD is only one sec higher (goes down even lower at later ranks than Vik Q) AND (here's the big one) is manaless meaning he can infinitely poke while Vik is constrained by mana. Vik also has to wait for the projectile to return back to him before he gets the shield which enables a slight degree of counterplay whereas Vlad's heal is instantaneous.

If they really wanted to make people afraid of Vik's Q they should make the shield return instantaneous (eliminate the projectile return nonsense). As a whole, though, I think the spell is fine they should buff the Q augment which would make the Q more threatening.
