So the new viktor sucks right?

did some work here.

Viktor e 230 + .5 ap --- if target is hit by second half and additional 180 + .7 ap (to hard to hit in my opinion for a good player)

corki q 250 + .5 ap + .5 bonus ad--- reveals target

syndra q 230 + .75 ap w 240 + .7 ap -- slows e 250 + .4 ap -- stuns

my favourite examples:

graves e (death smoke) 260 + .6 ap -- slows, vision loss

Caitlyn e (death net) 230 + .8 ap -- slows, Headshot proc

Wu Kong w (death clone) 250 + .6 ap - invisible

the damage needs to be shifted, so that he doesn't need to land the second part to feel useful because these people have utitlity that scales better then his pure damage ability imo. at the moment. ( this is the main part of viktor kit his hard hitting poke that hits for less then 300 when u have 100 ap cho can max his q for 305 with no ap and it knocks up + slows).

Shouldn't take a challenger to do damage with a damage abilty.

nope.

Just because a champion does insane amount of damage doesn't mean they are good.

Literally corki's q someone that has a auto attack that deals damage has a better core damage then viktor core abilty, might be wrong but corki might have a higher base damage and he has a att damage ratio on this abilty. viktor death ray sucks unless your opponent stand still.
