...Be forced to play against it as a Melee top for 10 games in a row, without any jungle help.
Same applies to the balance team and meddler, who seem to think that its "okay", only because they dont have a single top lane player in the balance team.
Its completely disgusting.
Moody P5 votesif you have a hard-gapcloser you can trounce Viktor pretty easily; at least according to current stats, he's got his worst MUs vs divers with good early games and his best into juggernauts and tanks.
the matchup just gets stupid if you're not someone with a reliable answer to ranged harass

So it's a good cheese counterpick if you can play him well.
Phieldworker3 votesIt’s the same thing with any ranged vs melee matchup. He still is so so mis lane not broken.

Its not like any other ranged top.
Jayce cant rush a tank armor item and still force you out of lane with base damages WHILE scaling extremely well into a late game team figther, viktor can.
ZT Xperimentor1 votesNever fought a competent quinn, vayne, or teemo top side as a melee have you?

Neither of those champions (except MAYBE teemo, but hes useless after lane if he builds that way) can rush a tank item and bully top lanes at the same time.
And all those 3 champions are terrible for their team respective comps, viktor isnt because he actually scales into a team figther and is deceptively tanky with the shield.
ZT Xperimentor1 votesDoesn't really matter when they're skilled enough to deny you from killing them; they both have multiple tools to prevent you from fighting back while being able to kite and chase with ease.
Terrible for team comps? What you playing them as, supports? XD
chipndip13 votesFor once, I actually agree with Rexxie.
Like, he just NEVER STOPS PELTING YOU. EVER. And a ton of his harass is targeted. Viktor's just obnoxious as a champion from the ground up.

Viktor top is basically turbo pantheon right now.
Point and click Q from range over and over, but unlike pantheon, he actually scales into an amazing team fighter mage.
chipndip11 votes...Actually that's EXACTLY what he is. Even the obnoxious shielding shit (except Panth's is AA nullification).
FullmuteAll play3 votesFucking worlds. I have just found a good champion to climb, but now it is getting nerfed because it was in worlds and abused by metaslaves. And I can't use him as OTP because of high chance of ban/pick. Hopefully 
hype will pass soon after worlds without hard nerfs to his midlane.
SmallCheeseCake2 votesyes
knobblez1 votesI saw this the other day viktor(my team) vs sion. I was surprised by how well he stood up. Even eluded the jungler decently

With Wukong, Irelia, or Kass I hope.
ViciousSummoner1 votesI haven't played in a while mind explaining to me what it actually is? Is he the only top lane mage right now? Or is top lane mage coming back as a whole and he's just the most popular atm?
haaaaaaalp1 votesHe is extremely matchup dependent. I didn't have any problems with him until I switched off of kled. Wouldn't be surprised if the current split on tank viktor is because 30% of top laners main champions that counter him while everyone else mains champions that legit can't do anything to touch him.

Just play riven into him, proceed to win.
