Criticizing without trying?
That's a real **** move.

Thank you for the support. I will try spruce the page up soon. Haven't had much time because of work. Glad someone tried it rather then just criticizing it though =D.

Excellent build, when I played Viktor when he first came out I was getting a score of like 1/12/2 I used this build and after not having played Viktor since he came out and failing so hard with him I got a 6/7/7 which lead to a Viktory before I even fully built the champ.
<3 this build.

Yeah, Phreak messed up hard on this one.

hey!, i just wanted to point out a contradiction i noticed. here it is.

"After a ton of trial and error, I have found the best run results to be magic pen reds, ap quints, flat armor yellows, and scaling armor blues.

Immediately, you will notice this is very non-standard for a mage build, it is more closely related to a carry build. The reasons being, since E will be your main dps source, early AP and magic pen will help give you great early and mid game damage. The armor and MR runes help with Viktor's survivability problem in mid game and late game. He does not have escapes, unlike many other champs, so some toughness helps endless amounts."

Here, first u mention, Magic Pen Reds, Ap quints, flat armor yellows and Scaling armor blues(couldnt find them)

And than U mention Magic Resistence Runes as part of his surviability, yet in ur rune choices there is NO MR. unless by Scaling armor u mean MR than theres a mistake there.

Thanks for making the guide and i agree with the others above, the wall of text is a bit of a turn off. GL!

I registered just to downvote your build and add that in that obviously you will do a lot of damage if you build items with actives and summoner spells that do damage/debuff other people. The thing is, if you did this build on like, say Xerath, you would be doing a lot more damage from a safer range away.

Also, his "escapes" are nothing like Kog'maw. Kog'maw has insane range, and even then many people find themselves getting an escape SS. You never see Kog'maw use his Q and thus it should be very rare you see Viktor use his Q if he builds glass cannon, you're completely wasting a move by building him like this. At least kog'maw gets AS by leveling Q, you don't get anything unless your entire team is ganged up on one person.

Good day.

Now add that in your build.

It seems interesting and I'll probably try it, but please try to change your items section. It's really unpleasing for me to attempt to read a wall of text. I agree with Demon Cleaner to check jhoijhoi's guide to making a guide; I think it'll be good read at least.

Well, at least you know how to spell.

You forget to factor in power transfer which you can get off 4 times in a team fight. That is a lot of temp hp.

Edit: I also don't mind the lost item slot because the dps you get from red augmentation is significant, and scales well with overall dps through the burn procs of the laser. For 1200g and its 30% burn over time damage bonus, it is well worth it imo.

"all the survivability" hellyyeaaaah 1800hp and a zhonyas, cant get more survivability. just anyone with a charge rapes you without flash and you are a 1hit. the damage may be outstanding high, but you deal damage only when alive. sadly you never are against brainful(?) enemies.

and start with blues, your jungler will give you a blue late ron and boots are so essential in mid.

imo viktor is wrecked by a lacking item slot no matter how he is played, thats why i do not really like him, you can either buildhim as a a glass cannon or without damage. i think it was wrong to buy him, but thats not to the point.


AND DEFINETELY read jhoijhois guide to make a guide, walls of text are fairly terrible

The same way a kog maw escapes. Kog maw does not need to flash if he is good at positioning. Give it a shot before you down vote it. With his strong poke he can run if things get rough and pop w on himself if they are close or just behind his laser buying him a ton of room. I have not yet needed flash or ghost. And when I do take them, I don't get nearly the number of kills I get otherwise.

Edit: Additionally, exhaust can also help you escape. W, or exhaust W and you are good.

I can't see how this build will succeed against good opponents. For a start you list as a con that he has no escape, however you take ignite AND exhaust as summoner spells? Then as a pro you list that he's quite good in surviving. Your build however has no HP and almost no magic resist. How are you going to survive, even more so by not maxing q first or taking it's augment. 9 points in defense won't fix that. Finally I see you having mana issues, especially early game. Maxing the high-cost spell first and not taking any regeneration from runes or masteries will make you totally blue depending, without you'll run out of mana in no time. I really like the DFG in your build though as I agree that it's a very good item on Viktor.
