Your post was probably gone because moderators deleted it for being on the wrong board. You'll have a notification on the top right of this page to tell you that.

Description of what belongs on each board is to the left and down on each respective board. If you're still unsure where your post belongs, Miscellaneous is a safe bet. This particular post would fit in Gameplay.

I feel the main reason he has an item instead of a passive buff is so he is unique and unlike any other champion. When you play Viktor is the only time you have to decide whether to upgrade your augment or buy another item, and that is kinda a cool option in my opinion. :)

I would also say that he actually tends to have more early game options that a lot of his peers. Well he does typically upgrade his own item to at least level 2, he then has a number of choices between upgrading it more or purchasing any number of items that a normal mid laner would get. If you can survive without it you can even choose to forgo the first upgrade in favor of completing another item early, although that's very rarely done.

In short, I'm not sure there's a problem with the item. I don't think it actually restricts the Viktor's options as much as you think it does.

Well my way of thinking is that if you chose not to put any investment into the core early, it hurts your early game power because of how important the first two augments are for Viktor. I just think making it a passive instead of an item would be better.

To be the most effective you either get one augment and go into another item or two before getting the perfect core, or you get perfect core first.

Largely correct. But almost every mage in the game has an item that they gain more power from starting with than any other. Viktor's just happens to be built into his kit.

Hmm didn't really think of it in that manner before. I guess when I'm playing him it always the same thing of get your hex core and morello, or the perfect core. On other champs I think it is easier to buy some sort resistance item to aid in the lane and not take your build off track. I totally get what you are saying.
