Please buff or rework Viktor (again)

So I've been playing a lot of Viktor recently and I have noticed something in every match. Due to his lack of mobility, he is essentially a trash champ. Realistically, playing a match against a champ with any mobility whatsoever, is a disaster for Viktor. He's too squishy and can't evade anything at all. On top of that, if the enemy has a gap closer, it's almost impossible to lock them down. And if the other team ganks you at all, you're basically dead. I know Viktor has one of the highest damage potentials in the game right now but I don't think it's worth sacrificing his mobility for it. Please Riot, give Viktor some mobility so he's not food for whoever fights him. It's really disappointing that you'd create such a fun character that is so bad...

it's actually really scary how much potential damage he has considering he only has 2 non-ultimate damaging abilities. dropping the gravity field on your self doesn't help much against gap closers. you may stun them, but if you didn't have full hp, chances are good the stun will hit them after you die. the movement speed boost on his Q actually seems pretty significant, but it's probably not the first augment most people take and it relies on you going close to auto attack range to hit an enemy for that boost. anything i missed? i don't have that much viktor experience, but i played a few games with him before the rework and after it.

Build tanky AP. You'll still hit 6-800 AP if you grab a deathcap (depending on runes), and you'll be sitting with > 200 Armour and MR.

Frozen gauntlet is excellent on him, too, if you max Q first (for the low cooldowns).

I know it kind've sucks that you can't all in the enemy laner at lvl 3 and annihilate them anymore, but you scale like a monster. Just keep an eye out for ganks, and a second eye on your own position. You're obscenely hard to gank if you don't leave yourself open to multiple enemy engage paths.

For the record, 100 movement speed every 2.4 seconds is disgusting. You can kite anything :P
