i see

instead of an active ability you say the augmented ability itself could be improved. well the augments we currently have does exactly that. but i understand what you mean. i think if his gravitation field would deal damage it would be too strong since he has quite a burst. his power transfer stealing half of the damage done and giving it to viktor, not so sure about that but definitly not a bad idea. im not sure if i understood your intention for the deathray, it sounds as if youre saying it should kinda split or something? i imagine it like three lines in a cone, similar to graves buckshot. that would be interesting

but i have to say this. viktors biggest weakness is not his hextec core, but the 2 minute cd on his ulti. in most cases he fights with Q and E. the ulti itself is pretty strong and if used right it can turn the whole teamfight. i use CDR masteries and got a CD of 108 seconds instead of 120 wich makes his ulti much more reliable. his q has a short CD and his E's not that long either so he will be spamming those in the teamfight. his AOE slow/stun is quite the reliable ability and can serve as a total gamebreaker by rendering the enemy team unable to do anything and his ulti on top of that, if cast immediatly, will prevent the enemy from flashing out due to the silence,even if its only a short silence.

usually my ap with viktor (i use augment: power instead of augment: death) is around 590. by far not as much as other casters will get. but i have more than 3000hp due to crystal scepter and rod of ages. with augment power and crystal scepter, his q slows the enemy while making you faster. thats quite nasty.

but even though i dont get as much AP as other casters. i have never been at a disadvantage. my poke is efective, my burst is high, and with sorcerer shoes and abyssal scepter combined, i couldnt care less about the enemies magic resistance.

his hextec core might not grant him as much benefit as an individual item you would chose but on the other hand, since you have his hextec core, your item build is by far cheaper and you can unfold your full power pretty early.

i dont think he has any disadvantges compared to other casters, he has a unique playstyle and is pretty strong while beeing quite sturdy as well
