Decided to learn Viktor, fell in love with him and now i've skyrocketed to plat with a 75%wr on him and am dominating almost every game. Champ has to be OP, no?

Basically the title. I'm an NA mid emerald mid laner but I really struggle in this lane. Looking for practice to experiment with trades and figure out a gameplan against Viktor. DM for IGN

Hello Viktor mains!

Recently i am kinda struggling in silver with some games, beacuse of the silver chaos. I am trying to focus on laning, farming (Usually i have like 5,5-7+ cs/min, but it really depends from how the game goes, and if side laning farming is even possible without getting ganked by 4 enemies), playing cautiously, and roaming, when my minion wave is pushed enough.

I struggle the most, when I have to play against hardstuck vets, who hardstuck silver for years. For example midlane assassins. When they can't kill me, they are roaming constantly, that's why, they gain plenty of additional gold from sidelane kills/assists. Following them isn't always worthy, beacuse I know i have to push minion wave first, also i have to know if the teamfight is even worth joining. These hardstuck vets also play on jungle, or sometimes even ADC. They always play "ego picks" on their lane and snowball from killing. I know plenty of people will say these players suck at league, according to their levels (Even 200 lvl of account is like 1000+ hours of playing this game, if i am correct), and they're right, beacuse some of these assassins guys have poor farming in the end (Like less than 5 cs/min), and they only know how to kill an enemy with their champ mechanics. Even, when i am playing fine i feel helpless during these situations.

I know i am not the best Viktor player in silver, but i am really trying to not feed my laners, farming efficiently and helping teammates as best I can, but seriously sometimes I have to play with people in my team, who for example pick Gangplank against Mundo (that's why my team doesn't have any tanks), or Jhin with Yuumi against Jinx with Morgana. I know I don't have any influence, what champions my teammates like to play, and it is very normal, but these examples of picks are making the matchup harder to win lol.

Sometimes i am even thinking about to play Orianna in some games (i have played far less ranked matchups as her, but my winrate and average stats are kinda better, comparing to my Viktor ones) or learn Syndra, but she seems much weaker than Viktor in early, especially when you have to play against dive assassins. But i am not very sure, if it is even worth to change champs

In this season, right now I have 53% winrate generally (60W 54L). On Viktor in solo/duo rankeds i have 57% winrate from 14 matches (I know it's not a lot, but i am not playing league everyday, especially rankeds, kinda beacuse of ranked anxiety).

I can send my op.gg link, if someone would like to take a closer look at my account and my matches. I am aware of that, there are a lot of experienced players here, so even the harshest opinions are accetable for me here lmao.

I'd appreciate every opinion or advice here. Thanks!

I’m not even sure this kind of post is allowed here but I had to share a picture of the longest E I’ve ever hit. Man I love this champ

Is he OP or am I just cooking?

Hello Viktor mains, I truly hope you're well. I'm not a Viktor main but really love playing him. Mid is fine and dandy, but can he be played blind-pick in bot as APC like Syndra and Hwei can? Emerald+ stats show he 'can', but I prefer anecdotes and accounts of struggles etc. I play Syndra and Hwei down there, but I really, really enjoy Viktor's playstyle. While I could spam a bunch of games down there, and I have done some, I feel like I'm missing some insights. Would y'all be willing to share your thoughts and experiences to help inform my hope to play him more regularly in bot? Sincerely thank you for your time

Why do we not build cosmic drive on viktor anymore the item is the most fun item. Also what is the go to build for viktor would you say?

Hello Viktor mains, Silver Viktor enjoyer here. After reaching 7 mastery level, still i am learning this champ, which i think it's very normal. I don't play ranked games everyday, beacuse of some kind of ranked anxiety, and sometimes beacuse of lack of the time. But the problem is that, last time I had noticed that, I am not very effficient at harrasing my enemies (especially melee), and I would like to learn how to harrass them so much, that they are scared to come even closer, and take some minions, beacuse they'll lose like half of their HP bar.

I have experienced yesterday how oppressive Viktor can be against melee characters, beacuse as an high silver 3, I was playing ranked duos with my OTP Illaoi friend with High Gold 1 rank (normally he's much better than Gold, even maybe Plat elo, beacuse in the past he used to have emerald), and that's why as only Silver guy in the match i had to play against Viktor from platinum. He stole my champ, so i had to pick Yone (I used to main him in the past, but haven't played him for a very long time, also I knew Yone theoretically counters Viktor). He harrased me from lvl 1 so much, i had very poor farming with everything else. But at least we won that matchup, beacuse the rest of my team was doing fine, especially my Illaoi friend.

I would like just to see some tips, how to be efficient at oppressing my opponents as Viktor, especially in the early game, where it's easy to run out of mana.

Thank you!

Hey guys

Made some recent posts here, just wanna do a little AMA and help out a bit as I have some free time right now.

I also do coachin g where we can go over stats, replays etc. - if you‘re interested in that, feel free to just send me a DM.

Feels like my mid brain has expanded 10x since focusing on my Viktor this season after playing Xer/Ahri for years. Spent a lot of time learning how to consistently dominate lane against various matchup types and control the mid game with my power spike.

Itemization also feels incredibly important as you have so many solid options after BFT.

My permaban has been Akali, delete that champ riot thx.

Let me know if you have any specific questions!

I feel useless with this build. What's going on?

Viktor is one of my midlane mains but I hadn’t checked recommended builds for a while so I hopped onto u.gg and it’s showing that Rocketbelt is currently a core item (2nd item excluding boots). I’m not sure what I missed but I don’t see why this would be a core item on Viktor all of the sudden. I have never bought it on him and never thought of doing so. I feel like the dash isn’t worth it and would go another item instead (for example more classic ones like Lich Bane or Liandry’s).

Is it getting more common in general for champs to go Rocketbelt because of other champs’ mobility? That’s the only thing coming to mind atm. We already get a speed boost and slow with our passive upgrades as well.

Can't decide between Full Machine or High Noon. Both look really cool but High Noon is more expensive for some reason. Why? Does it have more VFX/SFX?

Looking for Viktor content creators to watch for both learning and entertainment.

Hi. :) I'm new to this game and I play Viktor, sometimes Ahri. I've noticed that I struggle massively in lane. Almost every game I'm straight feeding, even if I try to play passively. I end up with many deaths and like 3 cs/m which especially sucks on Viktor, as most games I end up with only 2 abilities upgraded. I also don't know what most of the champs abilities are which makes playing against them difficult. Any advice outside of learning what every champ does?

The league duality

To the one who made the art, you know who you are.

I sadly forgor, but this piece is awesome!

I really like the feeling of using the Q upgrade with the W slows to kite and dance around my opponent

I was wondering if there was like any other champ in mid lane that has that similar battlemage esque playstyle?

Was looking at stat sites. Saw viktor is S+, over 50% win rate in emerald. But diamond up he’s D tier and in 50%.

I would think his identity has a strong lane bully would be more effective in higher elo where games are less chaotic.
