The thing is, Riot coulda buffed OldLazor to deal as much damage as the new one, he would STILL not be picked because his kit before was just ass.

It didn't really flow and had no sense in how certain abilities worked. You upgraded one ability and the rest remained underpowered, undertuned or just plain useless. That alongside the fact that he only had 4 item slots coupled with just how he didn't really scale.

Old Viktor wasn't bad but I wouldn't say he was a troll pick. He suffered from a kit that didn't make sense in it's own original scenario and Riot did the right thing by fixing it without breaking it. Maybe. I do think he is quite ridiculous just from the possible damage output alone. But he has a sacrifice a lot for it.
