Lux gets a buff? So should Viktor

WitchQueen Annie··15 votes·900 views

It logically follows.

Viktor has a lower win rate, Viktor has much less range and much more unreliability in his kit

Therefore, Viktor should also be buffed.

Lets also slap on a CDR mechanic whenever he manages to kill someone with his Chaos Storm.

Lets be consistent and fair aight?

Oh and if it helps to convince you, you could also disregard all balance logic and create a new super expensive Viktor skin. Elementalist Viktor sound too redundant?

What do you think?

What do you mean unreliability? His abilities are much more reliable and harder to juke than Lux's.

His delayed laser rarely hits after the Rylais nerf.

His Gravity Field takes way more work (and often, a lot of luck) to set up than a Lux bind.

His Ult ticks instead of delivering instant damage on the scale of Lux's R. People can easily Flash or Dash out of it (the instant damage is quite low for an Ult).

He has much less range, and he has no point blank low cool down self-defence tool like a Lux Q.

By harder to juke, Mizaya means that Vik's spells often have no travel time or are unavoidable unlike Lux.

You can't dodge his Q, his E if he starts the beam right on you, or his ult if he drops it on your head.

His range does suffer, but it's kinda fair considering he can pump out damage MUCH faster than Lux.

In the time it takes Lux to cast her R, Vik already dumped all his spells on you and is moving on to his next victim.

His self defense tool is obliterating someone without even breaking stride.

Insert Vik laugh when he lazers.

Yes because lux has had so much recent LCS play.

Can the remaining duration of his ult reset every time her gets a kill? It seems about as balanced.

Lux and Viktor are two different champions. Not give him a ripoff legendary lux skin and a similar ult.

An Elementalist Viktor does sound kind of cool though. He'd have a Witch Doctor controlling the elements type of look (with a Crash Bandicoot boss type mask) with a staff with a massive diamond on it. And then like Lux he could be upgraded to control various elements throughout the game.

Darkness, Ice, Fire etc...

New quotes... "EMBRACE THE ELEMENTS!"

Slap on a shiny new splash art showing mass destruction behind him while Viktor commands lightning/fire wearing a badass wooden Native mask....

And I think you've got the sales to justify the buffs.

Winrate isn't the determinate of what needs buffing and nerfing. I don't think Lux needs a buff, but neither does Viktor.

i think all ultimates should be reset whenever they hit an enemy champion, and their damage should double every consecutive time they lane, quadrupling if they kill. this seems like the way to go in league

I think Viktor can use some buffs, alongside Lux and any other Mage not being picked in LCS because I don't want people taking my Vlad because they could have interesting niches to fill.

Btw this is kind of a joke but I do want Vlad out of the meta

All I meant was that if you're going to, for no reason at all buff Lux, then you should have done it for Viktor first. Seeing as his win rate is lower.

Also, Lux's Ult is already one of the most reliable abilities in the game.

Its a call for consistency.

I mean, I do know that Lux has been a favourite of Riot's for a long time.

I hope this Elementalist Viktor idea gets some traction.

Riot likely is bugging Lux like this to get more money off her ultimate skin, cause screw balance!
