Been looking through Kuro's past Viktor games after he picked Viktor in LCK today. Gonna try out these runes (I have the page, just haven't been using it on Viktor) and build paths: http://www.probuilds.net/kuro He gets Aug 2 before building other damage items, and he does not get Morello's. | ||

Faker goes scaling CDR blues and Augments E before building Grail for near-max CDR (effectively maxed when he gets blue). Kuro gets either scaling AP blues, or flat MR, depending on match-up. He also seemed to take Cleanse against support Veigar rather than Lissandra. Not sure about Abyssal, he takes it even against a Lulu/support Morgana/Kog'Maw line-up that will outrange the aura. I don't see the point of what looks like a level 8-9 Augment, where he spends 1k for under 30 AP, 150 mana, and the augmented Q. It's clearly cost-inefficient. It looks like you'd want to brawl, taking Ghost, a fast completed Hexcore for the faster ult, and Abyssal, trying to stay near people to maximise the ult damage. My own style is closer to "poke until an ult-E can kill them in less than 2s worth of ult ticks" because it's so unreliable to try and get the 7s of damage. Apparently that's what he does in fights though? I'd be curious to see his games. | ||

Definitely seems interesting and I want to try it. I know I'll fuck up a lot thinking I have ignite, but it seems nice to stick to targets with chaos storm (especially with full Augment speed storm), and it also helps make up for low move speed. | ||

He wasn't very effective in that game. It was seen mainly as a troll pick against a weaker team Rylai's is the most efficient AP item in the game for raw stats, and Viktor can use all parts of it(the slow, the HP, and the AP). The extra HP gives him ways to bully that he otherwise would not be able to due to his very low stats and the slow gives you the advantage of Q augment without buying the really inefficient item. Its super useful on him. | ||

And Lichbane is an amazing item but as soniv mentioned, not too sure when to actually get it. I think it would be good vs ezreal mid Viktor spam incoming | ||

I actually run Ghost + Ignite on Darius instead of Flash + Ignite. And I think that for Viktor at least, I think Flash + Ghost is really powerful. I know you're giving up quite a bit of kill power by not having ignite, but I don't think that you'll always be in range to get that ignite off. Furthermore, increased movement speed for 10 seconds is really strong in my opinion. Especially when you're playing top lane, I think in some circumstances ghost can save you where flash can't. Also popping Ghost during a team fight or just before a team fight can help your positioning immensely or even reach the team fight on time (Not that you have that problem in your ELO). I just think Ghost has much more utility than Ignite on Viktor, but I'm not a Viktor player so forgive me if I spoke out of my element. | ||

Also the strength of Flash-Apprehend. Viktor's base MS isn't as good, and a lot of his power is tied to his ult's churning damage, he also lacks both tankiness and escapes. Positioning is a big draw though, mostly because Viktor's ult's range is so low. You can't get too close for fear of being picked off, but when your frontline initiates at a distance (like a Malphite or J4) you often end up having to Flash-ult to make sure you get the burst off. | ||

Alaric I would love to fiercely debate Ghost versus Flash on Darius with you, but this isn't the place to do it! | ||

I even like Ghost mid, and I've taken Cleanse a few times where their team has a lot of CC that is super punishing (Morgana binding or Xerath stun or Ahri charm with the right comp = auto death) | ||

One of the things I'm still figuring out is when the best time to upgrade the rest of the trinkets. My build is generally Dorans 2pots -> Dorans + 1st Augment and from here it varies a lot. The last few games I've played I haven't upgraded my augment till after my first two big items. When are you guys upgrading yours? And does everyone upgrade in the order E > Q > W? | ||

There's no need to get a 2nd Doran's, you want to get that E aug as soon as possible (which you should have at lvl 5 if you're csing properly). I've been experimenting getting 2nd aug after my first mid tier item (seeker's or codex) and after my first full item (Morello or Zhonya). The third one is a bit weird for me still, but I've kinda been liking getting it right after aug 2 or after the next item. Having speed storm is nice. | ||
