Syndra can pose an issue, but all of the champs I listed, good against and struggles against can have the matchup "in reverse." Viktor can lose to the champs I listed he's good against and can beat those he struggles against. Though I find it harder for a Viktor to lose to a Katarina/Kayle than it is to beat a Vel'koz/Ziggs

By this I mean: He can beat longer range mages, but he'll have a hard time doing it. His poke will arguably hurt more, but Death Ray is on a considerable early game cooldown.

Viktor rarely struggles against short range mages like Ryze and Katarina. His capability to put down high burst and keep it on champions like them is a daunting amount of power to be against and will generally keep them away from one after a kill or two giving you full control on the lane.
