I highly recommend rushing augment: death first. It's Viktors bread and butter in a sense. You can start building after but being able to harass with that extra burn ends up being better than most items early anyway.

Np, Im just trying to help. Speaking of, Some more things.

A: Like King said, your rune page is strange to me. Till I understand your reasoning, I'll say my own. Mana marks are totally not viable,Mana regen is meh and straight out ap seals are no-no. I would suggest AP marks,straight out mr glyphs,Mpen Quints and mana regen seals if you like them.

B: Boots/Pots. you need health pots. you're not such a mana hog early on, you should be last hitting. Without hp pots, the opposing mid laner will have a 450 effective hp advantage over you and the green bar always beats the blue bar.

C: Why do you buy Catalyst first, if at all? I mean yes, it's hp and mana regen, I like it. Just explain why so haters don't start saying ''blah blah burst mage no cat -1''.

D: What up with those masteries. I like mixing them up, but the offense one seems whacky. Replace the AP with AD, the AP barely shows while the AD does while last hitting. The turret armour debuff one, NO one should take that unless they're trying to backdoor the whole game. Take something else ex: Havoc Arcane Penetration don't remember what you had.

E: (this is me being picky, not needed really expect the 1st thing)

*Add alternatives. Defensive,Offensive and Snowballing.
*Mid lane matchup
*What to do in team fights (actually is needed if you don't have it)

All I have atm. If this helped you, I wouldn't mind a review of my own guide or a rep although, the guide review would be more helpful xD

Sincerely,

Would you mind explaining your... 'unconventional' runepage, to say the least? There's some strange picks in there. And what you stated in the explanation of it... well, if you're gonna upgrade to a Rod of Ages, you won't have mana problems - as far as I've seen, that is.

Thanks, guys. I'll be sure to add an items section and try to flesh out the guide a bit more. And Jungleking, yeah, I really don't know what I was doing. I think if I'm working on Magic Pen, I really should take the Sorcerer's Shoes. Thanks for your help!

Yeah, this has potential, but you need more explanations. First off, items section. You want one, and you want a detailed one. The build is nice, even though I don't personally like it as I like to rush out Augment: Death. You might also want to expand some other explanations, like runes, masteries, skill sequence, etc. Matchups and more gameplay info is always nice, too. Anywho, you deserve a +1 for potential.

Well explained. You just need to make an Items section explaining in detail every item choice you make, and include some situational builds too.

Decent guide and Nice build. But 1 problem. In the pros/cons you said he has a lot of burst damage so why would you take CDR boots? You have to kill someone in 1 combo because till they're back up, you're dead So you might wanna try Sorcerer's Shoes because earlier on, they take out most of a squishy's MR.
