buffing spray and pray is nice and all but that part of his game is already strong, his lane phase is still terrible due to having 1 damage ability and being tied for the lowest base ad of all adc

Increasing his scaling is actually a good way of buffing twitch. Strengthen his early game too much and he starts wrecking things. I'd much rather they give twitch a clearly defined power curve which increases over time than homogenize twitch by mellowing out his power curve (which is what would happen if you buffed his early game).

I'm a bit worried it's going to end up being abusive with new Zeke's. AD buffs whilst you get 50% crit for your ult duration.

Zac, Twitch and Kassadin buffs. I already like the direction this patch is heading. Kassadin's buff looks pretty massive tho. From a 0.0 ratio to a 0.2 ratio that scales up to 0.6 is pretty huge - think it's be lowered (or just changed to a flat increase on his current "mana ratio").

The buffs to these 3 champions are for me more exciting than the three reworks and new items.

I can't believe that they're making a schoolgirl Ahri skin. That's both amazing and not at the same time.

One step closer to schoolgirl Reksai.

63% increase in zone size is probably the most important change there. Everything else is also important, but that extra zone of control is absolutely huge.

It is, but I still don't see how it will make Skarner good. You don't have to fight him there, and he lost a lot for it. IDK, it might be strong but I still don't like this dominion thing.

Not sure if this is the place to discuss Viktor changes but they're gutting his early game. Which is hilarious because he isn't all that good


Prototype Core
AP per level lowered to 1 from 3
Now grants 10 mana per level


The Hex Core Mk-1
AP per level lowered to 3 from 4
No longer gives 20 flat ability power
No longer gives 150 mana
Now gives +15 mana per level


The Hex Core mk-2
AP per level increased to 6 from 5
No longer gives 40 flat ability power
No longer gives 300 mana
Now gives +20 mana per level


Perfect Hex Core
AP per level increased to 10 from 6
No longer gives 60 flat ability power
No longer gives 500 mana
Now gives +25 mana per level

Total Stats at Perfect and level 18: 450 Mana 180 AP [vs 148 current]

At base you're weaker by 2 AP/level. At mk-1 you're weaker by 1 AP/level and 20 AP. At mk-2 you're weaker by 1 AP/level and 40 AP. With the Perfect Core you're weaker at any point before level 15, even at 15. Better at 16,17,18. [minus the mana of course]

Can he still one shot a wave at level 9?

Also Viktor is pretty much the strongest mid currently.

He will likely not be able to one shot the wave at 9

And no I am right we had this discussion already. His soloqueue win rate is distinctly middle of the road and his professional win rate ranges from "eh" to "good lord shitty like none other". Even correcting for strength of schedule does not fix these issues. He has some advantages which it isn't worth discussing here so he isn't worthless to pick but he isnt "one of the best" or anything like that. And there is basically no argument to be made that he is.

Good lord you're so fucking dense. Bad champions aren't staple meta picks in competitive. It just doesn't happen. There's plenty of reason why Viktor is currently a good champion, you just refuse to accept any of them.

I didn't say he was bad. I said he wasn't all that good.

And no, bad champions are perfectly fine being stable meta picks. Current Corki being a prime example[loads of pro picks... loads of pro losses!]. Or Leblanc when she had a goddamn 44% soloqueue win rate and yet people still thought she was oppressive.

No. I know why Viktor. He can stall(usually unless its against heavy dive). He can farm almost regardless of the matchup and so is unlikely to lose you the game on that if your mid is severely outmatched. He can fit into a decent number of team compositions and so can be picked early without tipping your hand or losing you the mid matchup. He is also strong against Azir specifically, who is otherwise ridiculous.

He just isn't that strong, even with those advantages.

You just described a strong competitive champion. Dade used to do all those things in champion select with Ziggs, Zed, etc early picks to give the rest of his team pick/ban advantages. You also neglected to say how strong he is against Ezreal and Kassadin, and how he crowds out a large % of Ap mids by being as good at their niches, without commiserate disadvantages.

Corki I understand. He has wicked waveclear and strong poke to complement the poke. He's also really safe. Viktor on the other hand I don't particularly get. I understand what you're saying Goumindong. But If Viktor is ok to play mid, so should Malzahar. Than again, Faker's never played Malz, so... ahem, I agree overall, I don't see Viktor being overly strong and in need of nerfs considering his performance in solo queue and recent competitive play.

Especially the whole "oh, y'know, that champ who was known for waveclear and lane bullying? Well, before the rework anyway. Yeah. Fuck his waveclear. And his early game".
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.
