Part of it is seeing champs like Garen and Teemo used constantly, and wanting to copy those players' success; As an example, a good number of the champs I have I bought after seeing them firsthand a few times. Another reason is the learning curve; champs like Heimerdinger have a different playstyle than most, which makes him more intimidating to play.

Viktor is an anomoly though; even with his unusual passive and varied skills, he still looks good on paper(especially when you read the stats on his abilities), and can be built like a lot of other mages.
