Death Ray's mechanic is simple enough to land. But when pressured or in a confusing team fight, manipulating E can be difficult to pull off quickly.

One of the major factors which prevent Viktor from being played competitively is that his E is too slow to quickly use in fast paced maps. I'm not sayin that landing the skill itself is slow, but the aiming is slow.

For players with excellent motor skills and quick reflexes, they would feel as if their play is being hampered and slowed down due to Death Ray's execution process.

If you may have noticed, alot of Pro players often use Champions that are technically more difficult to master and play than Viktor. While they require more positioning and some tactic approach, their skills themselves are simple.

Viktor is easier to play than some of the more contemporary picks, but his E's sophisticated mechanic discourages alot of players from picking him. Not to mention they have to sacrifice power to make full use of his W in a more versatile manner.
