The meta for a time there really worked in his favor as well. With mids like Katarina and Ahri, who have both shortish range and relatively low lane presence before items, as opponents Viktor could just steamroll them with a simple 1000g purchase.

The meta is changing though with the recent patches. If you look at who is starting to pick up you'll see Lux has really started to climb the pick rate ladder and I'm sure with his changes and Athene's buff Ziggs isn't far behind. Being outranged really hurts Viktor early and so I'm sure he'll likely fall off again soon if the meta keeps going the way it currently is.
