At anon above Nesasio, you are only talking about a 1 on 1 fight. You forget that Viktor's E is an AOE potentially giving him MUCH more damage than you would get by maxing a single target ability like Q. Also, Q's range is absolutely atrocious (less than the pokes of nearly every other mage) and because of the return time of the projectile you will likely get hit by an ability before the missile can return a shield making the "tradeable damage" a lot less in actuality.

Also, at max CDR (which is attainable easily midgame if you get blue buff, a blue potion and a support builds soul shroud - which is a common support item) your Q would have a 3 second CD if maxed whereas your E has an incredible 5.4 second CD. Coupled with its AoE, absurd range AND Death: Augment.

So feel free to run around like Sonic the Hedgehog with Power Augment. I'll just be WAAAAY in the back hitting 3 people with my laser every 5 secs like a goddamn monster truck without having to be within 600 range to do the bulk of my damage.
