I really like the feeling of using the Q upgrade with the W slows to kite and dance around my opponent

I was wondering if there was like any other champ in mid lane that has that similar battlemage esque playstyle?

I am in the trenches of iron and my biggest problem is I get 17 bombs and just as many assists on a good game but then other games I get shit on and I noticed a pattern is when they roam. Specifically Mal and sol I always have an edge until they roam. Then I feel like I either can’t defend mid and get no CS when I do roam. And I fall behind the moment they get a double kill then I get flamed for not doing it first. And then mid is forever punished if I don’t roam, or if I try to roam and fail. Does it just come down to a good roam when I’m getting my ass beat?

Hi, i really like viktor and i just recently climbing for about 2 weeks now, im currently in silver 4 and i noticed my enemies is getting better and im still sitting in the same place. How to improve my gameplay, what fundamentals should i need to learn to escape silver. Thanks

Hello Viktor mains,

I struggle a lot during the laning phase with dodging Viktor’s E, Death Ray. Is there a proper way to avoid it that I’m missing, or is getting hit just part of the experience when playing against a good Viktor?
For clarification, I mostly play melee mid laners.

Any tips would be appreciated.

It brought me back to plat after demoting to as low as gold 3 a while ago. Very grateful for this champ, his strong laning phase is quite refreshing as a Ryze main

Hello Viktor mains!

Recently i was thinking about banning options in silver, and i am not very sure who is the most painful matchup for Average Viktor player in lower elo.

​

Zed was my first ban pick, beacuse I didn't knew how he worked exactly. He doesn't have blue mana, also he can kill me under my turret with his R. But in the other hand he is a difficult champ, and I think, in silver elo barely anyone knows how to play as him properly (Except some die-hard Zed OTP, who are hardstuck in low elo since ages lol, but I could be wrong)

​

Xerath is my second and current ban pick, beacuse He can harass me with his long range Q, which has a slightly larger range, than it shows. He is a hard counter for inmobile mages. According to Lolalitics in silver elo, Viktor has the lowest winrate against Xerath (43,27%) and Vel'koz (He has also 43%, but is much rarely less played on midlane, comparing to Xerath). I am aware of that, I shouldn't pay attention to internet statistics, especially in lower elo's, but I don't think these stats are completely wrong. My friend from platinum doesn't recommend me him to ban him, beacuse he says Xerath isn't played that often on midlane.

​

Last time also Fizz started to be very annoying for me. In early game he is quite managable, when i am playing cautiously against him, but in the later phases he usually roams a lot and gets kills from my teammates. He is just obviously annoying, cuz of his mechanic playstyle.

​

There are some another champs like Katarina, Ekko, Akali, Malzahar or Sylas, but i am not sure, if they are worth the ban.

​

What do you think about my banning thoughs? Are there any better options than that? I'd like to see any opinion about this topic. Thanks!

I've already installed the old Viktor mod and bought the skin, and from what I've seen that's basically mandatory at this point lol.

Other than that, I'm still terrible at the game. I've been banning Akali, Ekko, or basically any champion that can jump on me and delete me before I even understand what happened.

I'm trying to learn positioning, farming, and when to use my abilities, but I still feel pretty lost in a lot of matches.

Any tips for a beginner Viktor player? Anything you wish you had known when you first started playing him?

many yt videos tell viktor is bad at early skermishes?

but what actually to do when dragon or void grub comes up?

im like bronze 2 currently so idk much
