Viktor has AD scaling on his Q -- is that a challenge? (Mixed/ADC Viktor? Any viability?)

Hey there, Onwodori here.

So before anyone gets bent out of shape, I am asking about Viktor's 100% AD scaling on his empowered auto attack Q. I'm not condoning or suggesting you take him as an ADC - it's more of a curiosity at why that value is there.

Lets suppose for a moment I did want to take Viktor as some sort of utility ADC, much like Kennen ADC.

Strengths:

Has good chunking with his Q Deals mixed damage as an ADC Can peel for himself Large AOE stun and slow + Knock Up potentially Will do good magic damage regardless due to Hextech Core Good base damage on abilities Interupt with Ultimate Kites well with speed up on Q Building mana gives you a bigger shield on Q as well

Weaknesses:

*Can only have 5 ADC related items due to hextech core - cannot build traditional ADC style Only scales AD with his Q 525 auto attack range is really difficult (Though, the aforementioned Kennen ADC has 550) No dash or blink mobility, just MS and slows

So that's all well and good. His Q boops people really good like, and your build might look something like this?

Again this is more of a hybrid build because the majority of your damage is magic and you'll still end up with at least 180 AP from your core. Shiv and phantom dancer are to help you kit away and get some of that sweet crit damage which you'll probably want and need.

Let me know why this is a terrible idea or why it isn't *too terrible.

Thanks,
