Viktor is a champ I am learning to love, but I feel he as though he isn't yet ready to make a big splash in this tank-heavy meta. If you want to use a mage mid against the likes of Sion and Sejuani, you usually want a long-range poke  cannon to help chunk those bigger hp bars prior to the fight. CC is an extra bonus. And while Viktor's W has amazing peel and lockdown potential, I feel he is best suited in personal 1v1 duels where he can play things close to his chest where he can more reliably land lasers, dance around people with the movespeed from his Q, and really get the most out of his ult. It's just too hard for him to stay safe in heavy-handed engages, and his laser is a little wonky to land at a distance for poke.

TL;DR - I'm giving him a patch or so once CInderhulk gets another peg knocked out.
