On a different note, what are people's feelings about vikter now that the rework has settled a bit? he seems REALLY strong to me. I hope the nerfs arent too severe, if/when they come. | ||

I've only seen him in 1 game and he got ridiculous fed before I interacted with him so I have no idea. | ||

I think in order to really shine he requires a "protect the Viktor" team comp. Something like Nami support, Lulu top and Ashe/Varus ADC who can peel while he does the DPS would really make him look good IMO. | ||

I've been going Q more often now. | ||

Dude had like 4000 games on poppy, and this guy was the best poppy I have ever seen. Wow. Was forced into support poppy by our team, and this guy still just hard carried us. Like holy shit. As a support without gold items he had like 12k gold at the 25 minute mark. Like wut... just blew me away. By 25 minute mark he was godlike and just 1v3ing kids all over the map. Its been awhile since I seen a poppy hardcarry like that. | ||

He is still good, I just feel like every game I win with him right now I could have won with old viktor like 10 minutes earlier. | ||

IMO you should go 9/7/14 or 5/11/14. Most of the points in offense after 9 are late game oriented (aside from the 21pt), and even if you start aggro on a support you're not going to transition into a full AP build. 14 points in utility gives you the GP10 which is stronger on a support in the late game, and the early points in utility are better in initial laning than anything in offense is. | ||

the masteries... i sorta wanted to see what the most dps i could do was, with the ap runes and 21/9. 5/11/14 is probably what i will try next game. re: poppy. yeah, there are a few people like that around. I saw one months ago. it is horrifying to play against. | ||

I'd go as far as saying that Frost Queen is better than Talisman on pretty much any support, save perhaps a play making Thresh or Annie. Talisman on Janna is just silly. Just get Captain's. I disagree. Talisman has situational value if you have a team that needs the MS for initiation. Both while initiating and in fights, you don't want your team moving towards you, so captains is of limited value (unless, of course, you flash monsooned someone into your team, but captains doesn't really help there either). | ||

FQC is far more powerful as an initiation tool, especially with Janna. Think about how well Nunu chases down individuals, now you do that with janna who has a nado follow up. | ||

No, it's not. 40% mspeed for your entire team for 3s is way more powerful for initiation than an 80% decaying slow for 2 seconds that's also a skillshot. It's funny that you use Nunu as an example when he's a champion who is well known for being absolutely awful at initiating. | ||

It either forces the flash, or they're caught. FQC+Zephyr+ Nado is almost always guaranteed pick. | ||

The Talisman active is better for teamwide disengage, which Janna is already stupid good at. Yeah but Talisman is not just good at disengage. I am sure you know that. It's a very strong item because it offers a lot to your team and it is extremely versatile. You can definitely disengage with it, but it's also very good for engaging or as a follow up to an initiation. | ||

Hell, the active probably hits massive diminishing returns purely because the item is on Janna.

If any of the GP5 items could give you any of the actives, people would be going for Shurelias 90% of the time. | ||
