He really isn't weak in the slightest. The damage on his ult is insane, and his kit supports -very-aggressive play. His Q is greatly unappreciated, you can get very nuanced with it's use; using it before you engage, shielding damage partially through an enemies nuke. saving you from killing blows etc. It's also very strong against any kind of DoT's. The W i've found is one of the most useful and multipurpose utility spells I've seen on any champ. I used to hate it, but I've begun to think it's on par or > viegars stun, which is pretty brutal in it's own right. He's right about the E, but that rarely happens anyway; it's hard to aim, but the rewards are vast. Also, mage minions line up in front of turrets :). R. destroys. everything. I hate that it disappears on death too, but that's countered by just not dying. That's not really any worse then fiddle's ult dying when he does, or other type ults. It doesnt make sense for them to vanish, but it could be worse.

Oh, and I counterpick Cass with Viktor now. :o In draft I think i've decided Viktor is a rather good counter to most sustain lanes and popular mids currently. The reason is in his versatility. He has a strong long range poke, a shield for close range trades, a huge burst with his ult, and whenever you are ganked, he has a friggin AoE stun/slow that essentially allows you to escape just about everything. He's also a real boss at assisting your jungler in your jungle, his W and shield allow you to skirmish in the jungle like noone else. really the only champs I wouldn't lane as viktor against would be the heavy-long range bursts, like brand and annie, and that's only because they may kill me before my ult finishs them off. Everyone else is a safe lane. Kennen is just annoying because he dodges things, but isn't threatening, and in fact is kind of a gimme.
