Viktor Rework Discussion

A Vik Rework popped up recently on PBE, and there is still no large discussion Riot could get feedback from so I feel like we need to have one, I'll start and you, guys can continue.

1 Visuals.

His model is better, but I feel like it's less metal. Also, his third hand is a mess and should be made more like a robotic tool and not a limb vik stole from scorched earth xerath.

His hair color should be reverted to black and he definetly should retain his white curl. It's very important part of his "core".

His E augment looks weak.

Ultimate should retain its cloud looks in some form.

**2 Animations **

His AA looks weak and unsatisfying

I think it's about time he gets a backing animation.

3 Gameplay

His passive rework is neat, but I feel like the rework doesn't adress other problems the champion has. I am not ready to give a fair feedback on gameplay part just yet though. I still need to play him a bit more.

I don't like trading the early power spike of augment death for 45 AP with 1000g spent for 20 AP with 1000g and 60 when I spend another 2k. You've spent the last however many years telling me that 1000g buys you 45 AP and now you're going to try to tell me it's worth 20 AP?

The death ray augment thing though, why are we even fucking with explosions? Is it not enough for me to do that I hit them with the laser in the first place? Why should I have to rely on them being bad and standing there? You had your death ray damage + 30% as a dot before, why can't we have the death ray just do 30% more? You know what 40% more a little later is? It's nothing. Not against the people whom I play against.

If you think augmented death ray was too much, then say that, i'll accept it, it's your game. It's like how I accept that you don't like silences, though I don't understand why you remove them one at a time. What this death ray explosion thing looks like to me though is a nerf just so they can have a 'fun' mechanic that looks cool. That's fucking senseless.

Complain all you want until you learn how to combo. Land W+E, if both are augmented then it will pull them to the center into the explosion, forcing them to use mobility to run away in a few circumstances.
