Why Are We Changing How AP Viktor Scales And Risking Imbalance?

When we could just nerf what makes Tank Viktor a little too strong right now, which is the frequency that he can use his Q? We’re nerfing AP Viktor’s ability to deal damage when behind, making AP Viktor more snowball reliant. However, we could simply increase the mana cost of Viktor’s Q, which shouldn’t change his AP character tok much since a.) his AP build mainly uses his E and maxes it and b.) Viktor is a burst character when AP, so his AP build would hardly notice.

A change to something like this:

Q Mana Cost: 45/50/55/60/65 mana -> 45/55/65/75/85 mana

Tank Viktor relies on almost spamming his Q to win trades and kite enemies. An increase in its mana cost would force Tank Viktor to choose his trades with less recklessness and be punished if they overuse their Q.
