Any tips for a new Viktor Player?

[quote=Whirlnami7]I would max out Laser, but it's one of the most bugged moves I have ever seen, but it is a Laser so I have to use it from now on. So [[Augment: Death]] it is! "Lasers make superior weapons!" - General Townes[/quote]

[quote=NinjaGinge]I too am curious as to the thought process by our local grandmaster and bionic arm. Certainly not questioning their judgement. I've always maxed q or e simply depending on the matchup but I am very curious as to the why. ^_^[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Q is very very strong for trading, and that's sorta what Viktor's good at from what I've gathered.[/quote]

[quote=SirAeros][quote=Luther3000] Q is very very strong for trading, and that's sorta Viktor's strong point from what I've gathered. [/quote] Yeah but E Do even more Damage(with death and after some AP due higher Scaling) and its range is huge allowing you to Poke like a boss(by memorie Only TF Ap Nida and [[Galio]] to some extent with DeathCap could compete with this Poke and you can dodge theirs while sending yours... oh and Before saying [[Xerath]] he Bursts you from your poke range so it ain't fair comparing) and Alongside makes you a Godlike Pusher and if my memory is Right Q range is a bit on the range of most casters Spells and with good reflexes they can Actualy hit you before the Shield Apllied alongside with the Hlilarious early kills it gives[/quote]

Its unreliable, higher cd, higher cost, no utility[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I honestly think [[Death Ray]] is terrible outside farming minions.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=OTGBionicArm] I honestly think [[Death Ray]] is terrible outside farming minions. [/quote] Early game it is horrific; mid and late it's wonderful poke.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Precisely. I'm damn good at hitting it, but man is it terrible without [[Augment: Death]].[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD]Love having convos with myself ^_^[/quote]
