Yes, the lack of a 6 slot gives a false impression that Viktor sucks. As far as solo-queue or ranked games are concerned, Viktor is a fine mid-lane AP champ. As with any champ that primarily shines in mid-game, if you manage to drag out a game then you are doing something wrong.

That being said Viktor does have his flaws, namely being the mostly lackluster upgrades for the Hex Core. Moreover, Viktor is a burst champ and the present meta is rather unkind to burst champs (Meta favors utility and mobile champs). I like to think of him as a more useful Annie since both his damage and utility are greater. But of course both Annie and Viktor are essentially burst champs since they tend to blow all their spells outright.
