Well I'm new on the site so if I posted this on the wrong forum sry >->

Ok Since the Start of the new Free Champion started I have benn Playing a Ton of Viktor and I simply Loved him since the first game(even though it took a While to learn how to use the Laser Well)and after a few succeseful games with him on Dominion, I decided to Bring him to SR.And there I discovered a few places where I have Problems and I would like some help before trying again a bit too soon(and that don't simply are bad habbits)

1-While I got Pretty Alright at hitting Lasers(always hitting the opponent or at leasr a creep in case he dogdes) in Poke-offs I end up messing them up trying to set them up on the midlle of the Burst Combo any tips to fire it up a bit faster and more consistently in mid burst?

2-I tend ward Lanes both side because of my a aggressive Play Style with Viktor but generaly I have problemn Surving ganks of people who can Bypass them( Nocturne, Twitch, Shaco-only early after it if he ganks me generaly I can 100% him Problems?)?

3-How can I lane against a Vladimir while early on its easy cake later it seems impossible to Bring him down health to Burst him without requiring him to stay on lane with less than 50% health without regening and even than he will just Troll Pool to save himself from my Ult-aftereffect and Laser and after it harrass is just asking to Bring your mana even more down and I can't really roam without Risking lose mid because well he's Vladimir and asking for ganks also don't work well...?

Oh and for builds if you are asking I generaly starts Boots and Pots>Double Dorans or Chalice of Harmony(depending on Match-up and Blue Avaliability)>Death or Gravity(Power is worthless exept maybe top layne with Rylais Rush for the lols)>Rabadons>Tanky Ap item of my needs(I being a bit too much Squishy Bothers me as I main Nautilus and Kassadin(I build him Kinda of Mana Tanky) and Somewhere I add a Rylais cause Lategame your Damage falls a Little by experiences with friends so I get Rylais so I can be at Least make them stick for the maximun duration Possible of my Ult

Ps:My english may not be the best cause its not my mother language

Vlad is a free win in mid. Max Q and build a hextech revolver.
W is your best friend in avoiding ganks. Ever thought of a Vision Ward against stealth?

Oh sup, someone mentioned me.

Until they change Viktor. Always use death core.

When twitch or Shaco gank, they only real thing you can do if they are already on you is Q, W and run like hell.

As for Vlad, what GMD said.

I didn't get it until GMD explained to me either.

Gonna try that is just like I started playing him a few days ago I still need to Renounce more of my Flesh:P and Learn a bit more


oh and About W ofc I use it but somehow they manage to catch and CC and since Im Squishy as Hell I end up Dying

oh and about Vision Ward yes I do buy them against Shaco even though hes quite easy to deal if you pay attetion to the Puff*(remenber I play Blind Pick) but the Problemn is that Twitch they generally go bot and Since his Remake I don't realy expect ganks before Bot Tower being destroyed(and most of times Bots on Blinds don't ward so I never saw then coming

Viktor's Gravity Field is one of the BEST CC's in the game especially when it is maxed out. You would primarily use the move with Augment: Gravity when you are playing a support role. You would use Augment: Death when you are playing the AP Carry role which he is able to do both effectively. The reason why I brought up Augment: Gravity is because it can stop(paralyze) multiple champions in a team fight which is why most can't stand playing against him. Yes Death Ray is still seriously bugged, but he is getting reworked. All of his moves are Skill Shots precision is a must.
Thanks to jhoijhoi for the sig(s)!
