Ah, finally some love for the leader of our GLORIOUS EVOLUTION

i must admit that the way i play him is a bit in the middle, I can stil 2 shot the adc and deal massive damage in team fights but i like having a little extra survivability... especially if there is some poke on the enemy team.

my core build : Haunting Guise -> Augment Death -> Sorc Boots -> Liandry's -> Rylai's!

from there i go where it seems best... need survivability? Zhonya/Abyssal. damage? Void staff (not rabaddon, i'll explain in a bit)

for the Rabaddon's, i don't like it on him, i prefer going full penetration! Hextech Core means you'll be missing a 2500g+ item and that will hurt your damage output, with my build (void staff included) you will be around 450 ap, 40+ flat Magic Pen (flat MPen Reds and Quints) and 36% Magic Pen, and that is a LOT of penetration, on anything except full tanks you will be doing near true damage!

these options open up a lot of possibilities and can keep you alive for longer than expected. i don't seem to have too much trouble staying alive with viktor, his Gravity Field is one hell of a good defensive tool and keeping the Q for that last hit or sticky situation can really help, even if the shield is ridiculously small.

For the Cooldown Viktor Suikena has talked about above (below?) i have tried, but i think that investing in the CDR stat hurts his damage and survivability a little too much for my playstyle... i like poking, poking, poking... *5 seconds after your last lazor hit*   "You have killed an enemy" and his up close utility in team fights with gravity field and ult. although shaving off a few seconds on his ult might be nice (can't wait for the new cooldown runes i must say)

anyway, nice reading you Evolutionsist's, hope you like my feedback too, and i'll think about your build Narbulg, i've always though utility viktor might be viable (i've played him supp to some success) and i might test some new things thanks to you...

peace out
