Holy, mages feel so helpless in lower elo.
So, I finished playing a Viktor game on alt acc, currently silver 1. I had also played another Viktor game like a month ago.
Wow, I must tell, I felt helpless the entire game. It doesn't matter how many cs you go up on your enemy laner, it doesn't matter how many levels you are ahead of them, or how many kills you have or if you got first tower, you still feel helpless, if ANY other lane + the jungler have some sort of advantage.
You can't roam because you're probably gonna 1v1 the jungler and die and just sitting in lane wave clearing won't help either. Eventually, the fed enemy team comes mid and nullifies any advantage you have.
Honestly, I've never felt so helpless and this is coming from a player who plays a lot of Graves on the alt account and picks up easy wins. Even in scenarios where my team is behind, I have some agency over the game with Graves jungle and I can do something to turn it around. Viktor, and I assume in other game, just feels so helpless. It's so much coinflip, hoping that your other lanes don't hard feed.
