This video might as well be called “why no one plays mages in season 11”. Viktor is pretty much a case study in every issue mages have right now (weak waveclear early without running completely oom, over-reliance on item power spikes to be useful, and lack of self-peel when every champ on the rift has 3+ dashes), though he has it worse than most since his upgrades mean his base abilities are utter garbage unless he gets some lucky assists early.
10:01 Didn't know Nasus has Morgana Passive now. Neat!
Me still waiting for maokai
Do: Why No One plays Mages mid. Place 1-14 of the most played Midlaner are all non-mages.
yo the background music
are you by any chance a nier automata enjoyer?
Ahri 0.0
Going off topic, what is the background music called? It's really cool
9:34 The second you said lane priority, it was already evident why he's not played.
It's absurd how important lane priority is in this meta. Its very concept denies all late-game champs with weak early games the chance to shine.
“Has one of the weakest early games". You kidding me ? The the champion with the weakest early game is Aurelion Sol. And I main him. Compared to Asol, Viktor is op in the early.
I started playing Viktor 5 days ago, I can't play mid so I'm playing him as support, I had a couple of games in my day 1 of testing out champ that I just carried whole game with my friend and this champ is really cool, I just wish I knew how to use his R lmao
Could you try making Why no one plays Vladimir? I don't really seem him played even after the buffs and i was thinking it would be pretty interesting considering the amount of power when getting a lead
its the same principle as crit sivir, sivir is a menace in the late especially with gathering storm but she just takes too much time to power spike, high base damage high movespeed, 4 seconds spell shield is all nothing because she's useless early and her kit is encouraged to fight. The main difference is that sivir can farm and has 2 builds lethatlity being her relevant build rn. Viktor cant go tank because of how toplane works now and the lost of klepto.
(He is like top 20 strongest late game champions if im being completely honest maybe even top 10)
I'd like to see a video with that list
Riot buffed him just to nerf the fuck him and make him weaker than before the buff thats why no one plays him…
I don't mind viktor not being picked too much because his E in lane is undodgeable
the background music made me feel like viktor belong to nier series 🙂
Still waiting for "Why No One Plays Janna"
Poor girl has a <3% pickrate in all ranks ranked rn 🙁
Ayyyy Viktor!! He's my favorite (and almost only) mage I play. He's just so much fun and I should really play him more.
Oh boy do i love Nier soundtracks.. and cool video too
Last of why no one plays series?😢
Viktor and weak early game ? Are we talking about same champion ? Yes, he might not solo kill you and have very weak wave clear that is a fact, but unlike Ekko, or Kassadin you have no way to stop Viktor from scaling. He is what if Vladimir was balanced champion. Viktor has the factor that he will always safely scale and he is time bomb you cannot delay, unlike others, but he won't randomly rush alternator and one shoot you lvl 6 like a certain healing battle mage xd. I would say Viktor has amazing early game for how well he scales and he definitly can poke down enemies, be annoying and solo kill champs like Zed, Yone, Yasuo and other malee champs that do not do a lot of damage till first item. It takes exacly 8 minutes for Viktor to get E upgraded and at this moment good Viktor is now a fucking god. Literally if there is no Irelia, but any assasin you win everytime. Also Viktor is not a battle mage. Viktor is burst mage and you can one shoot anyone by 2 items
Haven't completed the video Vars because I had to say I love the Nier music choice for Viktor!
I hoped i would never see this video but here we are. How far my favorite champ has fallen
you either crush him early or pray to god he accepts new coverts to the glorious evolution
Genuine question – why isn't he viable as an AP carry?
Why NO ONE uninstalled league of legends*
currently, viktor sucks early game, mid game, and lategame XD. Even if you aren't behind, unless you stomp your lane you're going to feel useless
Riot thinks keeping this champ piss weak is ok since they buffed the free pen on mythics
