Who should I buy
Syndra
Viktor
It seems they both have insane burst potential and can one shot people with a combo. I play mid occasionally but will more as soon as Cho Gath is seen less in mid and more elsewhere(Cho Gath is the reason I have kinda shied away from mid). Can you give me thorough justification about who is better and if you think neither please tell me why and suggest another champ if you have one. Thanks
I was going to make a nice long explanation, but...
Viktor is cooler, pick him. Don't get turned off if you can't operate his E right at first; some people aren't used to it since the only other ability that works that way is Rumble's Ult, but it only takes a tiny bit of practice.
Viktor is a very versatile mage with good scaling. He offers anything a team can want - waveclear (E), zone control (W), burst (Q & E), AOE (E & R), DPS (R). He's not as good as specialists, obviously, but there is not a team comp that he does not fit (and there are so many builds than work for him).
Syndra is (was?) a strong lane bully with great level 6 all-in potential, but has been greatly nerfed. She's far less versatile than Viktor and very weak atm. IIRC, her rank 1 Q does less damage (accounting for resistances) than an AA.
In terms of who's stronger, Viktor. In terms of who's more fun, Viktor (IMO of course).
Join the glorious evolution.
