Viktors passive is his weakness.

The best augment you can get for ap is Death. But that is nothing compared to a full ap item. The problem with Vik is that you HAVE to give up an extra item. That's an item that the other apc will always have on you. They are guranteed to have more damage.

Viks passive is meant to be an early/mid game boost. It falls out hard late game.

The fact that you cant sell the passive is a huge disadvantage.

Of course they cant give you an item right at the start and let you turn around and sell.

All they need to do is make it like rengars, I champion specific item that you have the option to buy, but dont need to. Then he can get his early game boost, and be able to get rid of it in favor of a better ap item.
