That statement would hold true from a Mid-lane Perspective. But when looking at Viktor as he is now in other lanes, you'd most likely want the Augment: Power for Top lane, as it gives him more escape and resilience versus hard engages. While for bot-lane support you would want to Augment: Gravity to increase the range you can stun/slow people from. ( it would be nice if Gravity sped up allies for that role though)

If anything his choice in combat stats should come from either his abilities including passive, or his item choices excluding trinkets. This would stay true to the mechanics of the game, without giving Viktor an advantage.
