I smart-cast pretty much everything and Viktor's E is no exception. However, if you want to learn how to land Viktor's death ray, I would recommend not using smart-cast just so you can get a feel for how it works (the range, the vector targeting, the travel time, etc) or play with smart-cast range indicators on if you are hell-bent on smartcasting it right away.

Another thing is that it is designed so that if you cast it directly on top of a target, it will never miss. It's a bit tricky, but if you are still learning the move, try to start death ray as close to them as possible and then direct where you think they are going to move. The hitbox is a pretty decent size so if you are good enough at reading your opponent then you should land it pretty consistantly if you do it this way.

Since I assume you play Swain judging by the avatar, basically try to put yourself in the mentality of landing Swain's Nevermove when trying to land Viktor's E. It is a different type of skillshot, but the mentality is somewhat similar (leading the target).
