Viktor's (Not-so) Glorious Evolution

Would it be possible to give his augments the Rengar treatment?

Take away their stats (e.g. AP/HP/CDR) and make them into trinkets. The Upgraded form would keep the passive (e.g. Power gives MS on Q), gated by a level requirement, or keep them 1000g still but opening the 6th item slot finally.

I realize you may have to nerf other attributes of his kit to make up for this, but the lack in flexibility in his build is very frustrating anytime you need a very specific item; Morello's vs. Mundo/Vlad for example. You generally don't have room to be dynamic when you only get 4 non-boots items.

P.S. Can we please look into Viktor's ult glitch? The initial hit strikes the target, however the silence still doesn't stop flashes. This causes your ult to clearly have silenced them as they took the initial hit and be summoned at their previous location instead of their new flashy shine location. This being Viktor's main offensive CC during ganks, I would appreciate it if a red looked into its functionality if necessary.

I would assume latency if not for the fact that the target takes the initial burst, proving they are silenced.

TL;DR: Apply the Rengar Necklace -> Trinket change to Viktor's Augments.

I would rather Victor's item remain as it is but improved so that it never became a handicap to the player.

I think they mentioned Rengar's BTN being a test for that sort of system. They want to implement that sort of item feature on just one champion first to make sure that it works and doesn't have any negative impacts on not only that champion but gameplay in general, then they'll look into doing the same thing for similar champions like Viktor.

I certainly hope so lol. Would love just a word from Riot saying,

"Yeah, if Rengar tests well, we'll do it!"
