As a non-viktor player I think his death-ray issues should be fixed first before anything else =[

Viktor doesn't need fixing per se, just QoL buffs to his augments, he's one of the only champions that can amass AP really quickly since his death Augment is only 1k (which also allows him to full clear minion waves almost as fast as other fast clear champs). As stated earlier in the thread weakening the earlier augments in favor of another tier to upgrade to would be awesome and would tie in perfectly with his lore (upgrades, fixing flaws, etc).

But this is literally exactly what I was suggesting... o.o

Weaken the stats on his augment upgrades, and then offer tier 3 versions of them, so he scales better.

Edit: Is Bionicarm the only one who knows what I'm saying, because it comes across like I'm being misunderstood o.o

He falls off late game much harder than most mages since he can't buy his effective 6th item, instead he has what amounts to 5.5 items. Doesn't stop him from being extremely strong mid game though.

And no, I understand just fine.

what zep (and whoever mentioned hexdrinker) said.

its a midgame item, its great to build early but late game is terrible.

Yep, that's why I say there should be a lategame build option for it, like Malmortius, and then weaken the other augments, so he's not crazily strong ALL game long, but rather, he's on a more normal power curve.

I think I heard rumours that they have been working on this idea of making different paths with the augments, like when you start the game you can buy 1 of the T1 augments, and later the game you can invest money to spend it on 1 of the T2 upgrades. They also have been thinking of making a augment for hes ult.

Either way I can understand why Riot isn't really priotizing fixing Viktor. Viktor is pretty balanced with and fun to play. He do lacks the things to be competive, but that is really like, just 1 inch away.
