[25.S1.3] Shok's Rank 1 Challenger Viktor Guide

By ShokLoL
Introduction
Hey guys I'm Shok, multi Rank 1 Challenger mid laner and content creator! I played league professionally from 2017-2021 and have been rank 1 in multiple seasons, as well as rank 13 on the NA ladder in season 9.

I upload regularly on YouTube, and stream everyday on Twitch so feel free to follow me on either of those platforms :)

Season 10Season 9
Season 9 NA
Laning Phase
The laning phase on Viktor is very straight forward. In early levels you will be able to heavily harass with your Q, if you can get the auto off it's good but just hitting them with the initial Q1 + aery + scorch will be enough. As the lane goes on you will shift more into E poke, just be careful of using too many Es at level 2 before it becomes more mana efficient with more points. Try not to use too many CDs on the wave and focus primarily on pushing your opponent out of lane as many times as possible.

Post 6, you want to continue to poke and maybe look for an all in with W + R. Sometimes even the W slow is enough to commit R, but if you manage to stun them use it immediately and you'll either kill them or force them back to base.

The main weakness of Viktor early game is getting ganked + poor skirmishing, be very careful taking fights unless your team is stronger/has more people there and do your best to setup wards for yourself and hug to them carefully.
Mid Game
In the mid game as Viktor you will want to do your best to continue to keep up your gold/xp while also being at all the major objective fights. The best way to do this is try shove the side wave as far as you can without dying. If you don't have TP up, it can be a good idea to group with your team instead and just catch sidewaves when they are going to crash on your tower until your TP comes back up. If your sidelane matchup is really easy + your team is winning and you have vision then sidelaning should be very easy, if the opposite of these things are true then you will need to be a lot safer on side. Be a little more careful than normal as Viktor since you are very immobile and can easily be caught out on side, even if you'll win most 1v1s.
Teamfighting and Skirmishing
Viktor teamfighting is your standard front to back DPS mage. You want to mainly hit whoever is in range of you while staying behind your tanks. You have a lot of sustained DPS so you need to stay alive as long as possible. For the most part you can deal all your damage from long range, but you want to try find a window to get an R or a W a bit deeper to maximize damage.

One of the keys to Viktor is choosing your skirmishes carefully in the early game, try only go for fights where your team has a numbers advantage or you can really strong e.g. all gold spent, R up, flash up etc. If you can sneak any early KP it'll be great for your stacks, but be really careful as if you die early you can find yourself really behind the curve.

You may also want to think about which abilities are most threatening and how to avoid them. For example, if the enemy team still has stuff like thresh hook, lissandra ult, malphite ult etc you will need to either wait for these to be used or be ready to avoid them. Sometimes, especially if you have no flash, you might need to be careful before you fully commit to the fight.
