I've used him top a few times unfortunately. Went surprisingly well. Starts off hard but eventually it reaches a point that even if you cant win your lane (which you can do sometimes depending on the opponent), you will NEVER lose it until multiple members of the enemy team come to help. He farms like a boss, and does stupid amounts of damage as you build just a couple items.

The most in depth guide to Twitch around.
Props to wRAthoFVuLK for the beastly sig and putting up with my request XD
Hey, you should help me on acquiring Medieval Twitch!! :D

But... Vladimir does 130 damage at level 1...
Tri lane for life.
The biggest problem with Viktor is that once he leaves the lane he still isn't that great as well as being a situational pick and being out-picked by, well, a lot more champions

*cough cough* his passive item blows *cough cough* he has no real impact in a legitimate game...He has ~burst..But he's just overall a boring champ. When you see Cass on a team you think "**** just got real" you see GP or Shaco jungle you're like "must hug turret" You see Viktor you think "sweet free ELO"

Irelia is average top lane, nothing special.
I even feel like she's sub par but HSGG is convinced she's OP...
Sometimes I think he needs help... Lol.

Yes, lol. His Q is good, it's his best skill, which is a bad sign when your ulti's not your best skill, and his ult deals a lot of unreliable damage. If you can get a good ult, sure, Viktor isn't too bad.
But he's unreliable. Anyway I think he sucks hard.

^Agreed on most there, the thing they should fix is that his
Arcane Storm vanishes when he dies. However, once you manage to grab a
Rod of Ages and
Rylai's Crystal Scepter he becomes quite bulky while still dealing quite some damage.




Yeah but so does every other AP caster.
That's what building HP does :P

I think the death augment is really his only viable option in choosing a route to go. Overall Viktor just doesn't seem like he'd be a strong top. He can win trades, but against someone like Vlad the trade is nearly nullified. Chogath can just farm back the damage dealt to him same with some other cahmps. Tops have a few things that make them strong, durability/sustain/pushing power. Viktor doesn't really meat any of those in a prolonged engagement IMO.
Viktor wins against vlad if he abuses his early-game damage but he has to play very aggressive.
