310 base damage is not "pretty high" when you are counting 2 skills, at rank 5, one of which is a 3rd skilled ability 310 damage at level 18 is nbd I'm really don't want to intrude on the Viktor thoughts because I really don't have a clue about what is good/bad on that champion or if he is buffed/nerfed but I will no accept shenanigan arguments like calling an ability poorly scaling by giving the other guy 2 abilities at level 18 | ||

Its not to say anything about strength of the abilities its simply to provide context to an item purchase decision. I could have used Morgana's Q instead (333 AP to double damage) or any number of other abilities (l could have used Lux as an example of a high base damage champion). I just picked Fizz because its an ability that is slightly similar (auto attack modifier, gets on hit effects, changes all damage to magic). It means nothing. Its just a number. | ||

not to sound corny but if you truly believe your point then just let the facts stand on their own. | ||

How its not making quality judgements on the quality of the abilities, just what is an efficient itemization? 2) The higher the rank the LOWER the effective scaling. If you're playing Fizz you've got a point into W at some point(probably before you all-in). If you only ever add one point into it then, when you hit Q (when its maxed), Q will do 160 + AD + .95 AP damage. This is an amazingly low 273 AP to double damage. If you activate W which you might do Q would do 170 + AD + 1.2 AP, 225 AP to double damage! The lower the rank we keep track of for Fizz's Q the BETTER the scaling, not worse. It literally works the opposite of the grievous deception that you're claiming I've done. | ||

Because he's making a relative comparison of "how much of the ability's damage comes from its base damage vs. scaling?" Comparing "how much AP do I need for them to provide equal contribution to the ability's damage" is a logical way to approach this. | ||

I said Fizz Q is a bad skill to use ap to double because the base damage was low and you countered with Q+W @rank5 damage, now your just trying to straw man me out of the argument. Just stop comparing 1 ability to 2 holy shit how hard is it. | ||

I assume you mean why I rate CN > LCS? Like I said I don't put much stock in AHQ beating EDG in a game that EDG didn't absolutely need to win. EG and Col took games from C9 and LMQ in the regular season too, that sort of thing happens. Alliance dropped one game to every team in EU LCS, and there's some truly dreadful teams in there. I still thought EDG looked miles better than AHQ and I had 0 doubts that they would win the tie-breaker, which they did. I also thought StarHorn looked better than TSM and I think even if TSM hadn't derped against SK they would have lost the tie-breaker and finished second regardless. I don't think OMG will look particularly good and might not even win a single game in their group but everyone knows they are having issues right now considering they possibly have the weakest support player at the tournament (at least if you exclude the wildcard teams). I don't think the gap between CN and LCS is big, maybe 60:40 in favour of the top CN teams over the top LCS teams. The important thing to take away from group stages is that the CN teams finished exactly as people were predicting: EDG second in A and StarHorn first in B. | ||

Its kind of everything that GD does. if yango posts everyone nods as if he's imparting wisdom even if he's just making a joke, if alaric posts everyone tells him to stop whining even if the post isn't a whine, if i post people automatically oppose whatever stance i have on anything. GD treats people like we are a set of stock characters who cannot vary from anything. hell i'm doing it not to goum by saying he does the same thing every time. its a curse. | ||

I can agree that sorc shoes will give him some early power because his base damage is high, but I don't think I would agree with a triple pen build (if that was even the contention I don't think it was) because his augment has 168 ap on it he gets 326 ap from fullEvo/dcap/void which I'm guessing we can agree is mandatory by 6 item so from here you could either go abyssal/liandry liandry/hourglass hourglass/lich hourglass/dfg dfg/lich or even possibly a GA since it interacts well with shields, thinking about this I think I also agree lich is a trap item | ||

You did math on 6 items Viktor and talked about his damage output when building Tear ffs. Of course you're not going to see all the flaws if you ignore his early and midgame. And you're going to miss out on how he doesn't fill a niche or stuff if you only look at him and not on other champions doing his stuff better. Because what's his identity now? Solcrushed tried to sell him as "adaptable" mage, but buying an augment never feels like a "big moment", and in the end they're still mostly stat sticks (and bad ones at that), they failed on that. Once I get an augment? I'd rather spend 2295 on void staff than 2000 on other augments. How's that for your price point? As for the mana allowing you to buy Ionian boots, nope. He still happens to have an actual mana cost on E, and if you rush CDR it means you want to cast more, so even for Q it's a much bigger mana consumption. (I'm running scaling CDR blues atm to test them, as I always used to run MR, and old Viktor didn't have a non-awkward timing for grail/morello while E's cooldown forced him to want CDR. Running even more oom than before as a result.) And you again only look at pretty number while ignoring any case we could make for QoL or utility. Would you still yell "wow you guys are so stupid it's an obvious buff" if Q did 50 more damage to champions in exchange for E not damaging minions?

But that means you have to change how he is built. I feel like you want a lot of CDR (ie.maxed) on new Viktor, considering the Q functionality. 40% puts you at like 2 and half seconds for each Q. I also feel like you want greater emphasis on defensive items. E.g. He might be a decent Abyssal Scepter carrier now. I really feel like you need to be in the thick of the fights to be useful now, so you need some resists to back up your shield. You already needed to be "in the thick of fights" because R just won't follow people otherwise (and then you're forced to zhonya so it won't follow anyway). It's a bit easier to stay behind before the fight starts now because bigger AoE on ult cast and longer W range, but E won't hurt as much (at long range you can react and not eat the secondary explosion, heck as long as you're moving you'll dodge it) and to deal damage with Q you still need to be in auto range... which is 525. You don't really need to look further than people guffing all over Lichbane anyway: "ermagad I dealt 1K§§§ wiht an auto". Hint: build 400 AP and a Lichbane on Annie and Q-aa someone, you'll deal a truckload of damage too. Maybe because the initial Q from Viktor didn't do shit to make up for the ratio on the auto, uh? | ||
