Whether or not you can anticipate it doesn't change the fact that his Q range is shorter than Talon's E range, as well as most other spells. Be it through harassment or jumping on him, most champions out-range Viktor's Q substantially, which is a good thing, it's a strong spell and if it had a range of, say, 800 and granted the shield immediately it'd be horribly broken, but the range and delay on the shield keep it well balanced.
