Viktor. Same Ult with Silence instead of stun, much longer range, better at clearing waves, can disengage without blowing damage spells.

Isn't Viktor's greatest strength his obnoxious trading power with his Q?

Beating Kat in lane was never the problem. It was not being able to deal with the roam and snowball passive bullshit. Eve was the exact same way.

okay so apparently yorick ghouls are tp-valid targets, but what i didn't know was that they are invisible and remain valid even after expiration.

play yorick, push opponent to turret with big wave. cast multiple ghouls
mid laner tp's in to ghoul as it expires

Only early on. Q has a bit of time before it comes back and is "only" 600 range, which means once people have their whole kits (so at say level 4) they usually outtrade him with the whole rotation, forcing him to either outplay (hard due to range) or get into Q range when their spells are on cooldown. It's still strong against say Evelynn or Swain because they don't trade in bursts so his shield has time to come back and still have damage to absorb.

He doesn't do exactly like Annie either because a lot of her bursting power comes from the "if Tibbers hits you, the stun will let her QW before you can flash", whereas if Viktor can't kill with ER (or RE) he'll need to get in Q range, or to keep running so his ult can chase and do its AoE.

Don't misunderstand, he's very bursty, but his "full burst" isn't something like Annie, Brand or LB do, and the more efficient way to play him is to poke people until RE kill range rather than 100-0 them (which he is perfectly capable of if he can get within 600 range of opponent and farmed well in the midgame).


About Kat, she's melee so he can easily Q her when she tries to last hit early on (plus it has shorter cooldown than Q and won't push the wave) and auto her, then when he can instaclear she can't really roam without having her tower threatened, and Viktor is a good (albeit inferior, I'll give you that) roamer himself, so he doesn't mind shoving the wave even before they meet then running and leaving Kat there.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

Holy shit, I love Lee. Just had one of those games where your wardhops and jukes and Qs are all spot-on and the other team doesn't even know what hit them. It's really hard for me to play a support jungle (besides 2doran sorcs Amumu if that counts) after pulling shit like that

I still donno about Viktor being "bursty". I think he needs Rylai's and he is more suitable for a kiting team.

Press R -> 15% AOE slow on the entire enemy team for 8.5 seconds.

Press W -> AOE slow + stun

Press Q -> spammable 35% slow.

Press E with augment -> 4.5 seconds 15% AOE slow.

and his E can poke.

Funny game I just played. We had Vlad Kat Mao Graves Nunu. The opposing team was LB Riven Kayle (jungle) Varus Leona. I got ganked at level 1 (I should have known to not skill Q to help Mao at blue) and got super behind. Katarina got absolutely crushed as well. At one point we were something like 5-20 and people were yelling at each other.

Then the magic happened. The opposing team tried to baron, which we stopped with 4v5 and traded 3 for 3, while Graves BDed and got an inhibitor turret. Then we came even in another 4v5 teamfight and Graves got an inhibitor. Then we got the second baron and won. No one on my team had positive KDA except me, although I need to add that I played a 900-Elo level Vlad that game and missed all of my CS, lol.

But good news. My 27% Sona is no longer on the front page. w00t.

Level 13 Viktor with DFQ Combo:
Level 5 Q (260+0.6AP)+Level 5 E (325+0.91 AP)+Level 2 R (670+2.23AP)= 1255 + 3.81(AP)

Level 13 Annie with DFG:
Level 5 Q(245+0.7AP)+Level 5 W(280+0.75AP)+ Level 2 R(325+0.7AP)= 850 + 2.1(AP)

Call me crazy, but Viktor is pretty bursty... especially if we using Annie as the comparison.

Hell, even if you change out Annie for someone like Zyra (also level 13) he still damn bursty:
Level 5 Q (235+0.6AP)+ Level 5 E (200+0,5AP)+ Level 2 R (265+0.7AP) + 2Plant AAs (26+6x13+0.2AP) = 856 + 2.2(AP)

Viktor = Bursty. Period.

For your Viktor R calculations are you using the full duration of the ultimate damage?

The problem here is that you calculated Viktor's "burst" with his full duration ultimate. This is unrealistic because the ultimate needs 7 seconds to do the full possible damage.

You don't "burst" someone by waiting 7 seconds. Otherwise I say Vladimir is the best burst mage because he can cast (calculated roughly on top of my head) 3 Qs and 3 Es plus an ult in 7 seconds with maximized CDR. That's 230 * 3 + 320 * 3 + 250 = 1900 with 1.8 + 1.35 + 0.7 = 3.85 AP ratio. This didn't even factor in his damage amplification with his R nor his W.

Yeah, but it auto follows. Even if you use just initial burst he identical to Zyra and annie... But like I said it auto follows.
Level 5 Q (260+0.6AP)+Level 5 E (325+0.91 AP)+Level 2 R (250+0.55)= 835+2.06 AP

I've never said to myself "Awe damn, if only I didn't get zero ticks of my ultimate off during that fight..." It's the same as counting full ignite damage as burst, once it cast, all that damage going to happen.
