We are going to set a new negative winrate record next patch, try playing the updated viktor against something like yasuo/fizz/zed/leblanc. Anything with some kind of mobility will 100-0 you because you won't be able to land any damage. Against the mid laners without mobility you might be able to waveclear under turret, that is ofcourse.. if u don't get ganked by the lee sin that hops over the raptor wall. item 3070

For me and alot of viktor players the main purpose of Gravity Field (W) is to be able to escape or for self-peeling. The new Viktor on the PBE is useless if u don't manage to CC your enemy, thus you are expected to use your Gravity field offensively. People just dash/walk out of it in most cases and that means you just wasted your only escape and you are most likely dead if the opponent all-ins you.

In my opinion the only reason to pick viktor after the last unnecessary nerf was because of his smoothness and burst, now with the upcoming changes, could someone give me a reason why i should pick Viktor over Azir for example? One of the most balanced and fun champs in league is getting destroyed, i don't understand why you are forcing these changes on us.summoner 3 I fear for all of you out there, your main could be the next one on their list.

I love playing viktor, since my whole obsession with machines (why im studying to be a mechanical engineer) and taking over the world via robotic assimilation.

These changes are freakin BAAAD, and I HATE calling something before i paly it, but christ alive, these changes are baaaad.

JUST PLS DONT TOUCH MY LISSANDRA! Now im gonna have to study Glaciology and learn how to freeze the world over....

I main Viktor and have for a long long time. (2 years probably or more) After this last nerf to his E, I played him a good bit and found myself wondering why I'm even bothering...Azir is like the main reason for that. I played against multiple Azirs and found myself on my favorite control mage getting 100% out controlled. Azir has more battlefield presence, better waveclear(and freaking 100% safe) and better poke. Why shouldnt I just play Azir? Why is Viktor nerfed with guys like Azir running around? Show me logic rito or show me a buff.

To be honest, I don't think Viktor needs any reworks. All they have to do is to roll back its e nerf. Before the e nerf, its win rate was already like 48% .. They nerfed it because of its wave clear ability. However, now they are making its wave clear better but impossible to hit champion. I really can't understand what they are trying to do. No matter how strong the aftershock is, we cannot hit the aftershock unless opponent is just standing and doing nothing or got cced..
