He's my main AP-mid right now, and I feel like he's the strong mid-laner i have atm. considering I do well with brand, ori, kass, and ryze; I feel there is a higher potential for success with viktor then with the others, and thats saying something.

The main thing i'd like to elaborate on is his ult's damage. If you look at most of the other high damage ults out there, his has the highest potential for full damage. (level 1 comparison) Brand's ult; assuming you are very lucky, can do max damage of 450 on a single target with 1.5 scaling. Annie's does 200 with .7 scaling. Viktor's does 150 plus a silence with .55 scaling, and if you manage to get the full dps (generally, the only way to escape it in lane is to either create a large enough gap between you and viktor, or flash), will end up with 500 + 2.3 scaling.

But that isn't all. -assuming you have no runes or masteries- viktor still has a guaranteed 18 AP at level 6. i.e. his ult has an assured extra 41.4 extra damage total. and because of the high scaling, will have a far higher bonus from building AP then the others (well, prob not brand, but he's a special case).

I really have a lot more to say about it, but i'm getting tired of typing, so i'll just add this: with such a high burst, Viktor's abilities have HUGE utility, which can enhanced by the upgrades (not to mention even higher ratios with the death augment); all with low cd's, an AoE ability with a very long range, and AoE stun with a large radius, and an insane duration, and his ult is AoE, meaning this huge damage will be going on their whole team if used right. so yeah. Viktor for life.
