Sometimes if I got really nasty poke-mages as enemies I tend to use Q on minions to get the shield while charging in to harass with death ray and aa. Can be very helpful since you get the shield even before he can react to your charge. It's mana heavy though so you might want to sneak a blue buff for denying almost every single lane opponent.

I really love Viktors late-scaling, it's super scary + actually requires some skill to get to but if you got it, there's nothing better than dishing away half of your enemies life with 1 lazor. I also agree, Morello's is awsome on him.

It's a decent setup you wrote there. Mind point out that putting some points in utility helps him too though. Upfront damage masteries aren't that great imo anyway since you get like what, 15'ish ap more (Assuming around 600'ish ap) and a bit more dmg on low health targets. Using Utility gives much needed mana, manareg, longer duration on blue, a bit spellvamp, more xp, more ms, shorter summoner cd and overall less cd. I experimented quite a bit with both trees on mages but whatever I try, utility seems always to be best.

Thumbs up to you, Akuni
