So it occurred to me today Viktor is a strong pick but rarely seen and ezreal saw an increase in patch 5.12 sadly mid smite is will no longer be viable better to get a lichbane, But viktors q can possibly be strong with Runeglave for more burst on top of that viktor can fight longer if he takes red smite or secure a stun with his w if you go blue smite for the slow I find it great and was wondering if everyone agrees this can become a possibly meta thing in the LCS.

DrCyanide4 votesI don't think Viktor would benefit from Runeglave like Ezreal has.
Runeglave converts Ezreal's Q into a Magic Damage attack, which makes it scale with Magic Pen. Viktor's Q already converts his next auto into a Magic Damage attack, so this adds nothing for Viktor.
Runeglave gives Ezreal a source of AoE waveclear that isn't his ultimate. Viktor already has his Laser for impressive waveclear.
Runeglave gives Ezreal an easy way to get mana back (Q over the wall to Raptors). This convenience is lost on Viktor, who has to get vision of the raptors, then Q-Auto at a much closer range to get mana back, likely loosing some HP in the process at early levels.
In the end, I think that Lich Bane is the better fit for Viktor. It gives him movement speed, which he needs to get into range to use his Q, more AP, and has better single target scaling. The advantages you list are more general to getting Smite rather than specifically getting Runeglave.
As for slowing, while 
steals 20% of the target's speed, you could alternatively go for 
, slowing the enemy by 40% for a little longer and from a further range, getting AP, movement speed and CDR for your trouble while saving a Summoner Spell.
RangoTangoGanko1 votesThanks for the comments guys! But yes viktor allready get magic damage but i can only consider this being on someone who goes full damage probably not something to do in ranked or anything like tat and its just for more burst in general and be a damage Carry while risking not having much defensive attributes but you are right its not a game breaking thing.
OperationDEEZ12 votesViktor already only has 5 inventory slots because of his Hexcore, technically 4 since boots are mandatory. Add in a jungle item that only leaves 3 slots. I've played jungle Viktor a couple times, and while I can clear and gank fine with him, hell I even scale decently due to the fact that a good Viktor can pretty much always do decent damage mid to late game. In the end though, it just puts way too much strain on your inventory.
RangoTangoGanko1 votesty for the feedack.
Holîday2 votesImo you don't need it at all. He's already incredibly strong but short on item slots. Viktor's build is relatively static, most of the time you only have one item slot that is variable (in my experience) and you just absolutely have to have the other items every time

Bârd2 votesViktor's auto is already converted to magic damage, he already has waveclear, and he benefits more from ignite than smite.
Save the trouble and buy lich bane.

CreationFlaw2 votesWell, compared to how the item used to be. Who wouldn't want to have five items when the mandatory item is literally better then all the other top tier items
"+6 ability power per level +60 ability power +500 mana" For a total of 168 AP at level 18
I mean, who wouldn't want that in their right mind.
