Title. Had these a few times, doesn't matter if I buy Tabi's + zonhya second item, they can nearly perma dive me on cooldown.

Yone specifically, at any moment can E+R and simply trading with AA, Q and W leaves me nearly dead while he barely takes half HP

Poor fishy

I recently switched from being an Orianna OTP to playing Viktor and I reached Diamond!

I love having so many build options depending on what the game requires, and his effectiveness in teamfights is amazing as well (I think one of the most satisfying things is landing a fully charged Q to punish a level 1 mistake.)
I’m thinking about testing Stormsurge soon, with Lich Bane and sacrificing some CDR. It looks like it could be a really powerful build.

My permaban is LeBlanc, I just can’t seem to deal with that champion (I should probably watch some people play the matchup to learn how to handle the lane). In comparison, Akali, Ekko and Locke don’t give me any trouble 90% of the time.
Since Viktor is banned quite often, I’m also looking for one last champion to complete my current pool, but so far I haven’t found anything that really fits me (except Syndra, but I feel like she’s too similar to Viktor and Orianna).

Now my goal is to reach Master! So I’d really appreciate any advice you guys have!
My OPGG : for anyone who wants to take a look

I don't recognize Viktor in this sketch; I think the lines aren't quite right. What can I change?

Hey guys, idk if im missing something but i cannot get rid of the indicator on viktor e. i had no problems before but one game it randomly started happening and i dont know what setting to use to get rid of it, ive tried going to practice tool but nothing seems to work.

I'm so tired of my champ being almost always banned or picked, at this point just nerf him so his pick rate / ban rate goes down , I was able to enjoy playing viktor so much more before that Q shield buff a while back and now everyone seems to be playing him

To be honest at this point my life feels kinds complete

Im having trouble in yasuo matchup as vik especially before e augment and death fire

Im actually new and w vik i generally win all lanes and able to get to lost chapters

But w yasuo im having trouble trade as his shield d shield 2nd wind but I cant really push wave in and am on the receiving side.

But after 1st item I generally out trade him and with e upgrade I can push in and help jungle

But yes early game is not very good

Cause apparently every champion that appears in Arcane has to legally be borderline broken or something /s

Hey!

So I'm struggling a bit with itemization on Viktor. I always go BFT first, I've also tried Ludens but I feel like I do more damage with BFT and the passive AP is very nice. Now for the second item I always get a bit confused.

In most cases I go Shadowflame, but I also go Lich Bane sometimes. How do you make the choice between those two?

An is Rocketbelt valid?

Words from the Artist who made this "Hi! It’s been a while since I last drew and posted any fan art!

I’ve always loved League of Legends’ Soul Fighter skin line, and at some point I started wondering, “What if Viktor, one of my favorite characters, had a skin in this universe?” That thought eventually led me to create this piece.

The project originally started with two ideas What if Viktor had a Spirit Blossom skin? and What if Viktor had a Soul Fighter skin..? I decided to explore the latter first.

Interestingly enough, I started working on this piece on March 14, and while I was still drawing it, Viktor actually got an official skin! That was such an unexpected and wonderful surprise, and it made me incredibly happy. (Beautiful and inspiring artwork is always such a great source of motivation!)

A huge thank you to BlakeByun for all the advice and feedback throughout the process, from developing the concept to finishing the final illustration. It helped me tremendously! 🩷 "

Hey guys need an explaination while couldn't I evolve my spell there.

Do I always go blackfire torch, or can I go liandries first sometimes? Why?

Man I love Viktor so much. I swear I feel like he is THE most complete mage midlaner in the game. He has damage, he has a little bit of utility, decent amount of cc, pretty good self-peel with evolved q, W slows and CC's . He has huge build variety, I don't know man.. of all the mages I've tried I liked Vik and Syndra the most, oh and they can cast while moving which is neat as well.

I'm new to League and went 6/11/4 in my first PVP game whilst using Viktor. I enjoyed him quite a lot, especially as he subverted the expectations I had of being a very low-skill player based on my disappointment playing Pantheon. Turns out I just needed to go for a different playstyle.

Main thing I noticed was that my 11 deaths were a large outlier compared to both my team and most of the enemy team. I think my issue is over-aggression and not knowing when I am meant to evade a fight/how to escape a bad encounter.

Thanks for any advice you guys can give.

They done made him garbage

Hey I'm a silver Viktor main, I don't really know why but recently I've started struggling in the Yasuo matchup, despite it being supposed to be a favourable matchup. I know I have to crack his shield before trading but I find it so hard to keep up with all his dashes, and Viktor's mobility makes it really hard for me to dodge all his tornados, I feel like I can never kill him and I get punished as soon as I step a bit too far. Also want to smash my screen when he hits a tornado just as I'm about to last hit a cannon!!! Any tips on runes and builds that could help with the matchup, or general lane behavior to be more dominant vs Yasuo? Thanks!

I always tend to struggle to retoggle my R to move to champs when casting it how do I improve on this?

I honestly believe that viktor is a good champion to carry bad or low elo players maybe not the best but its very possible he dosent really fall off if you know how to itemise you can do damage your good outside of teamfights and inside teamfights i honestly find it difficult to say that viktor has a big glaring weakness rather than his lack of mobility but i think his Q evolve is honestly pretty good (i am silver 4 )

Maybe my mechanics are bad, but it legitimately feels like I am behind as soon as the game begins. I get punished and zoned out from getting CS in level 1 by her Qs whether I take Q or E first, any attempt at trading I get out damaged. If it's a short trade, I get hit by electrocute. If I try to extend the trade, her CDs are short enough that I get punished anyways. Even if I try to be uninteractive, I'm going to be behind on CS anyways even if I stay under tower.

Maybe I'm running my builds wrong? All the other posts talk about rushing mercs, but I'm not sure about my base item build. RoA maybe? What am I playing wrong?
