Its niche. Viktor's damage doesn't need the boost and frankly, while his Augment is an ungodly powerful item as is; it can't be changed out for anything. Knowing this you do have a "limited array of variation." Which is to say what you build will be more limited in versatility than other champions not taking the Augment effects into consideration.

Luden's Echo is a pure offensive item with a smidge of mobility on it. Combined in with Lich Bane, Boots, and your eventual Augment: Turbocharge, Viktor can become quite the speed daemon. As for the 'active' component; the damage can be best used on his ult or a clustered Death Ray. Its by no means a bad item but likely you'll forgo something you may want. If you're vastly ahead of the enemy team get all 3 120 AP items and wreck harder, other than that its niche on him.
