Riot. Please. Come on. First you nerf his E - granted he needed that, it was a little overtuned, but I think you took it a little far still - now you're gutting his E and his R. Why do you hate Viktor so much? He's my favorite champion. One of the only reasons I still play. I was seriously hoping for you to change him in a meaningful way, not nerf the hell out of him. This is so disheartening. I really hope you reconsider these changes, because they're going to make him worthless to play. item 3070

I completely agree with you, however I think that the only downside to these changes is that the E aftershock delay being 1.25 seconds as opposed to .6 seconds is a little to much for his main damaging ability and one of the more difficult skill shots to actually land in the game, and it has a somewhat long cool down, and the AP ratios are being decreased. I think that if riot would just remove the change to the increased delay on aftershock then, I would consider these changes to be reasonable, but this increased delay on aftershock will probably make his kit feel really clunky, slow, and extremely difficult to use since his burst will be significantly decreased and most of his abilities too easy to dodge. His W already has a delay before you can get the stun off so making another ability being on a delay will put him in a terrible conditions, despite the well deserved Q buffs or the double E damage I think it would be nearly impossible to land aftershock unless your target is CCD.I don't agree with the ult changes too cause it just makes his damage more delayed and will make trying to all in or burst your opponent down nearly impossible, but that is not as much of a concern as this supposed delay to aftershock. Please share this to hopefully remove this aftershock delay, Riot don't make Viktor weaker, though the other changes seem acceptable.

This really breaks my heart to see. The nerfs are probably going to make Viktor so bad that he won't be played anymore. :/

I mean if you manage to stun people you do a ton more damage at least

Well done Riot... Malz needs more buff in 6.9 also and Olaf needs 100% lifesteal on W. Why Viktor?... Pls remove that Delay hes useless now. Without that Delay it would be OK... If u Nerf Ziggs now I quit League

Funny how pros say he is one of the top 3 midlaners currently. Dont cry about changes everytime before you actually test it ;)
