Tips Against Viktor in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Bundif says “This sneakyboi has received quite a bit of love possibly due to Arcane's release. Indirectly at least. The new items are wonderful for him along with First Strike. He's chonky, he can build ⭐THE⭐ item, he scales crazily well into the late game.
If you don't hate Kat like me, I'd consider banning him. Play around his W and you'll deal the brunt of your damage.”
0
Xalt says “Viktor is fairly squishy try not to use your second E while his stun is on the floor he will try to stand on top and stun you for more ticks on his ultimate QE bait his stun then E and R for a easy kill. Shoving early is a nice way to deny viktor cs he will use a lot of mana trying to catch the cs under tower giving you more sustain than him allowing you to push him out of lane and roam to objectives easier.”
0
angeLoon says “viktor have too much poke but you can easily win this matchup,just try to use your W on him and you'll be great.
viktor's ult is also very great to get.”

Haydoslang says “Bring Predator, trade when they're on cooldown, all in lvl 6”

ZERO420 says “A pretty difficult matchup but can be won with good roaming and map pressure.”
0
SKRELAX says “Pick Fleet Footwork keystone page. He pretty much hard counters you, he scales as much as you, and his poke is ridiculous. Ban him, or learn how to play vs. him.”
0
V1kt0r555 says “[Start: Corrupting Potion or Doran's Ring] [Spell: Teleport][Never engage on him when his W is up][Ask for ganks as much as possible][Build Banshee's Veil]”
0
FyreRode says “One of your most losing matchups, He scales similarly to you and can bully you in lane. Considering his popularity rn this is probably your permaban.”
0
DabiDabi says “Try to dodge his E's as much as possible. You can't really engage on him because he can just stand in the middle of his W and stun you. For pre-6, I suggest you only commit to fighting him when his mana is low enough that he cannot use his stun. Lvl 6 and up, I'd say to only all-in him if you know you can kill him. Viktor has one of the best scaling in the game”
0
OTP Toxin says “You can avoid his W and his E, even his ult! Just need a little bit of patience and focus to win this lane.”
0
PrimeRex226 says “Pretty easy matchup to be honest but he does scale incredibly. His poke can be really annoying though.”
0
Fake Supp says “like all immobile mages Viktor's weakness is his movements
dont get poked lot and all in him and watch for his W placement its so easy to win but hard to dodge his E”
0
ChrisWasTaken says “Could be very annoying. Viktor is a staple in the meta now. Honnestly I'd suggest to pick something else than Xin for this one. Unless you want to play it to setup ganks for a zac for example where you only trade with 3rd Q.”
0
keneki ken says “most of his damage can just be blocked by yasuo's windwall so try to play around your windwall cooldown dont go for trades if your windwall is down you most likely wont end up winning ”
0
Ara55 says “Early game you will get outpoked, but dont go fleet, just go dark seal, and aim to solo kill lvls 6 and up. also better 2v2's in lane. viktor is weak early without evolution. Electrocute or conqueror”
0
Bairdd says “Viktor can't kill you as long as you don't overstep. Make sure that you play the lane slow.”
0
desch3445 says “Viktor can poke you from a mile away, but early on he's not that hot. Punish his weak early all-in & waveclear, but beware that with Season 12 really favoring Crown mages, if you get into lategame, chances are you just lose.
Take the Conqueror page; His poke will make First Strike worthless, but he's an immobile mage with an unreliable peel tool, Conqueror is perfect.”
0
ThePieBeam says “Vic is a major issue, mostly because of his Death Beam. It's got nutty range and he upgrades it first. Really the best thing you can do is be constantly on the lookout for his gay baby jail and run whichever direction gets you out of it the fastest. After you get out you can retaliate but not before because the cast time will make it long enough for you to get stunned. Also, watch out for his Q speed boost as it's reasonable he can dodge your Q at mid-long range.”
0
Bairdd says “A good Viktor can make lane phase extremely difficult for you. Try to play safe and farm, but make sure you outroam him.”
0
Bairdd says “Dodge his E's and farm. After your power spike you should kill him pretty easily.”

OneDayICanBeGood says “Its still winnable only watch do dont get him stun.”

Lanzus says “his e is annoying, try to poke him , and all in at 6”
0
TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] Viktor is one of the strongest mid laners in this current patch, [Pre-Season 11.24]. Viktor feels extremely tanky and he is seeming to dish out more damage than Akshan. Lvl 1 you win the trade. A lot of Viktor players will walk up to try and harass using their Q. Take their challenge head on and all in with your grapple. Once he is Lvl 3 going all in before you get poked down is necessary. After he uses his E if you are above 60% hp go in. If not look to get a proper back timer and go back to lane. Fight him when you are healthy. Post 6 be careful of going all in because he can kill you with his R. Look to shove waves and roam.”
0
lonestar1870 says “Play for farm levels 1-2. Q if free, but Vik wins the trades if he gets his spells off too. Short trades are your friend since u outrange him (except his E).
Can play aggressive levels 3-6, use Q in lane to set up for E, then use W to previous Q to get good E off, then Q/auto.
You win the lane, but his damage outscales. Don't int early trades and you poke him levels 3-5 and maybe solokill at level 6.
You get prio whenever and can poke him a lot. Make sure you rotate first.
I like a rune page with TWT, but Electrocute is good too for more damage.
Teleport is generally the best vs Viktor, but you can go ignite if you really want.
Get Void if he goes Mercs/Banshees.”
0
Desperate Nasus says “After pre season12 started, the matchup got a lot harder for Nasus due to the new rune First strike, which is extremely good on Viktor. First back buy sheen and try to heal back as much as you can. Once you hit level 8, this is your only chance to solo kill him before he buys his Mythic item. After his Void staff and Shadowflame the amount of damage he deals is crazy. If you manage to take a lead against Viktor, your main goal should be to end the game Asap.”
0
BiriRamen says “Really strong Mage atm. I suggest going for trades early, and kill him before 6.”
0
Dorom says “Considering Viktor being very overpowered right now and the fact that he just fucks everything rn, I'd say that he's pretty good against Sylas. Don't go in when he has his W up, take fleet and only go in when he uses his spells like a moron, late game he outscales you HARD. Boring matchup.”
0
ShokLoL says “Viktor has really strong poke but is ill equipped to stop your E unless you get caught in his W somehow. Take ignite, E max and rush Wit's End.”
0
G2 Ryan says “Poke him as usual but wait for him to use W then combo him.”
0
iZianni says “Useless champ in this meta, you will always win unless your team wants to lose on purpose”
0
pwins says “Viktor can poke Zoe easily due to his Q and E, but Zoe can use this to her advantage and hit Viktor back. As long as you keep moving and dodge Viktor's spells you should be fine.”
0
Juplicate says “He has good poke but is very squishy and his stun is unreliable. You can Q3 through his stun or recast e to get out of it easily. ”
0
WayOfTheTempesst says “Just a farm lane, try not to take free harass and just freely scale against him. Take Fleet dshield and 2ndwind and overgrowth. Respond with W when he uses Q.”
0
WayOfTheTempesst says “One of Viktors best matchups. He can be a pain early game due to his constant unavoidable poke with q and e but after your first back it gets a lot easier. Let the wave push into you and don't get poke down too hard and start trading with him lvl 3. Its very very good to back early in this lane after pushing him in (800-850 gold). By doing this, it let's you get a decent back of dblade and dagger. Don't go for the all in until you bait out his w first, if you don't then you will get stunned during your ulti and kited and possibly killed.”
0
Katawina52 says “His early poke is unbearable. Go Dshield with Second Wind if you struggle a lot. If you're healthy enough and survived at lvl 3 and he doesnt have barrier/exhaust look for all ins. You will win them for sure if he doesn't have barrier/exhaust, but make sure once again that you're healthy enough and that you don't let his W stun you. You could go for regular conqueror runes and sword start instead of resolve 2nd too, but then you coinflip the fact that you're gonna kill him early on without being poked to oblivion so it's up to you and your playstyle. Also remember that his R cancels your R so dont use your R when he didn't use it yet.”
0
Drewmatth Taliyah says “The main stuff that you have to deal with is his Q E poke and Q E R combo after 6.
NEVER get hit by a Q and AA without using Q yourself too as you will lose most trades. He can stay behind minions and you can't really out-trade him if he positions properly so your best bet is a WEQ combo before he casts his Q. Try to move away everytime he casts W and in the mid game be careful not to get one shot'd by his full combo. Try to outroam him whenever possible.
Go Corrupting if you feel you get outsustained or go doran's if you want to go for easier kills (more ap = more damage, but less sustain).”
0
PlayCabex says “Viktor is slow, like vladimir. You can outdamage him in the early game since he needs his hex cores to do sth. Later, be careful, he can kite you with his slow (patches ago they changed his w, now spells slow instead) but if he gets into your range, you can delete him from the orbit”
0
Yeager says “Doran's shield + full sustain page. He has one of the strongest level 1's in the game because of his Q, so respect it and don't sacrifice most of your HP to last hit the minions, just stay back. He is aggressive early game but afterwards he will transition into a defensive playstyle to stack up his hex core to get the wave clearing mechanic on E. You have to play this lane really aggressive after level 3 and try to deplete his mana bar by constantly trading as it will delay his power spikes a lot. He's a late game scaling monster like Yone but he's somewhat immobile, so you have plenty of chances to kill him from level 6 and on wards. The first part of his E is impossible to dodge if it's a good viktor because of its missile speed. The second part of his E is where most of the damage is at, and it has a delay too it so focus on avoiding that during trades and you should be fine. The only difficult part in this lane is the first few levels.”
0
eiensiei says “I'll poke him with E-AA. If I land my Q, he can't deal the same damage through my W. As he gets some items it's safer to stick to E poke and since he'll probably go for Barrier/Cleanse, harassing him out of lane is the most I can do. After level 6 I stop trying to fight him, instead just E-R-ing him after a good Q.”
0
AP WormMaW Mid says “Good old Viktor - this guy can be painful for a lot of people, expecially for his ability to kite around his slow and as well because of his high damage output. When he has his augment, he can clear entire wave simply by using a single ability. Though to kill you, he needs to get on your face, which is when you need to abuse the fact, that you can kite him in your E and harass him from distance, because that is where he is a bit weaker.”
0
Avucado says “Start Q, E is too risky since he gets MS. Look for hooks at all times and try to avoid his laser. Don't try to e through him unless you just hooked him. Ask for ganks if you can't land a hook and roam if possible. Take hexdrinker if he gets ahead.”
0
Hullos says “Great poke, shield and movement speed make trades hard, high dmg all game. hope he sucks as dodging, play safe and farm. TP can help, exhaust gives you a better chance to kill him. ”
0
Yeager says “Start doran's shield and don't trade with him level 1, because he will out-trade you hard. He also needs to farm passively after lvl 1-2 to stack his passive, so try ask your jungler for help. to mess up his timers. If you can force him to recall early game, you will delay his powerspikes and make him even more irrelevant. You don't really get to kill each other in the laning phase because you both want to farm and scale into the late game. ”
0
Polarshift says “Viktor has the advantage in lane since he can keep poking you and gain a shield, which you don't have anymore. You can try to ask for a gank since he's pretty immobile.”
0
RezoneVerified says “Viktor used to be very weak until the Klepto build became popular! He can be menacing to deal with but if you try yo keep him at a distance/nullify his Klepto stacks you should be fine!”

Callmebee says “Viktor does so much better in a 1v1, he is just a strong champion at any given point and you shouldn't trade with him. He will probably push you in so it will be a difficult early. Consider Teleport in this match-up as you will have to back a lot due to his poke or Barrier. You will find yourself farming with abilities a lot, so I'd recommend taking Biscuit Delivery as your secondary (see Standard Runes below). Poke only to charge your Manaflow Band and wait for ganks/teamfights.”
0
LunarVortex says “Viktor usually wins lane vs Morgana and also outscales her hard. In teamfights, he can also nuke you as soon as you start to R. Try to abuse his lack of mobility and get your jungler to gank him a lot early.”
0
Curt Mcbeltpants says “Viktor outscales and runs liandrys so your shield will take longer to refresh, if you engage on him he can throw his W down and stun and he does quite a lot of damage at lvl 6 for a scaling mage as well.”
0
Halfhand says “TIPS: If Viktor starts Q, avoid trading with him. If Viktor starts E the matchup is very much playable lvl 1. Keep in mind Viktor his R has a silence so he can stop your R if he casts it on top of you.”
0
Eriosunx says “Viktor is a pretty common matchup.
You need only 1 trick to run him down. Wich is giving up all cs until lv3.
When you reach lv3 you want his wave to be crushing under your tower and that's where you can all-in him and solokill / burn his summs.
With 1 kill in lane victor becomes very vulnerable and you laningphase becomes way easier”
0
Yeager says “His level 1 is strong so avoid trading. You can start E to negate some of the damage but just focus on autoing the creeps so you can get level 2 first. It's mainly a farm lane but you should look to play aggressive so he doesn't get a hexcore from his first base. If you can delay his hexcore, he will be useless. ”
0
Fuzzmonkey says “Not an extremely hard match up, but can be a little tricky to kill during early laning phase if he can time his Q shield well with your burst attack. I'd recommend using a lot of extended chain combo's during laning phase whilst dodging his W and adding auto attacks in for more damage since he has high cooldowns as well. After level 6, your all in is stronger and his ult is pretty useless if you can bait it out with a W return.”
0
Dj Memelord says “Consider tp and second wind here. HE shoves vs you and pokes you all the time. ”
0
Fuzzmonkey says “Not easy, nor hard. Make sure to Q him when his Q is down, so he doesn't negate your damage. Using Q-E when he decides to walk up to you to Q/E you and trade with him efficiently, make sure he doesn't get both Q's and his E off on you otherwise he will wins trades. ”
0
CashLOL says “Immobile mage so easy kills with a gank or when you get 6. Be careful with the early levels! ”
0
iZianni says “He can out range us, but he also just loses the first 25 minutes of the game... Play around laser poke and look for extended all ins to 100-0 if he doesn't buy early mercs.
Early mercs guts his kit since he doesn't have upgrades.

Folver says “I Prefer Runes Fleet vs Victor
I recommend playing defensively up to level 6
I recommend Doran Shield”

MikeVix says “Extremely difficult-up. You need to watch out and dodge everything. You lose lane and probably game. But if you roam it is going to be a little bit better for you.”
0
mrmundo says “Early game you will take tons of poke. Try and dodge his laser watch for his W. After 6, it's pretty easy as long as Viktor doesn't scale.”
0
ShokLoL says “Skill matchup overall but Zoe is a lot stronger than Viktor in solo queue. He has a lot of harass so it's tempting to take spellbook TP but I think you can get away with electrocute ignite if you avoid some of his harass.”
0
angeLoon says “lethal dshield In Resolve Second Wind and Unflinching.
try to have a long trade with him and try to force him out of the lane.
he can poke you a lot but sometime he will run out of mana and if he does not have tp is a free plate or roaming.
you can block his E and Q.”
0
Kords says “I have beaten Viktors, and I have lost to Viktors. He can match your shove once he upgraded his E, but you should be bullying him way before this, starve his CS count by shoving him in and roaming, once he completes his item, he can beat you with ease. His Q gives him movespeed and he can also slow you. So be careful of him.”
0
TheoRut says “He outranges you with E and he is super annoying. Play safe and wait for ganks, try one shotting him or the adc in teamfights since he can 1v5 if he plays it right.
Phase rush against this matchup.”
0
SaltCat says “Hard match up with all the buffs he got, try to punish his mistakes”
0
ShokLoL says “Skill matchup but slightly favored to you. Mainly a skillshot check so you need to be on point with your movement. Phase rush TP or comet TP are both good here depending on the rest of their team.”
0
ShokLoL says “Viktor definitely wins the poke war over you so make sure to trade back aggressively. With electrocute ignite and corrupting potion you should be able to threaten him with 100-0's.”

Lynter says “Runa Recomendada: Conquistador.
Viktor usará Q (Siphon Power) na Katarina toda hora que puder para drenar sua vida, portanto, evite tomar dano do segundo ataque do Q do Viktor nos níveis iniciais e tente farmar o máximo que puder até o nível 2~3 para tentar agressivar na lane. A maior fonte de dano do Viktor é o seu E, portanto, caso ele não consiga te atingir com o segundo dano do Q, tentará com o seu E (Death Ray), fique atento ao posicionamento dele, caso ele não consiga utilizar o segundo dano do Q e OU tentar usar o E e estiver perto de você, pule para cima dele e faça o combo EW+AA+Q+AA+E+AA e tente fazer isso até poder matá-lo, nos níveis inicias, se você não tiver como escapar do W (Gravity Field) do Viktor, não desperdice suas adagas e espere sair do stun para ir para cima dele. Evite atacar enquanto o escudo dele estiver ativo (por 2,5 segundos é o tempo que o escudo ficará ativo após o primeiro Q do Viktor). Aproveite que as suas habilidades têm cooldown muito alto (o W e o E do Viktor tem cooldown muito alto nos níveis iniciais). Após nível 6, a ultimate dele só irá parar a sua, se ele ultar depois de você (silence de 0,5 segundos no momento da ativação). Use essa vantagem contra ele e aguarde o momento certo para ultar. Em teamfights, Viktor é muito bom devido seu dano em área e seu stun, por isso, é preciso matá-lo rapidamente, porém evite confrontá-lo sem apoio de alguém do seu time, pois pode morrer devido ele ser capaz de burstar muito forte. Assim como ele, Viktor te focará com todas as suas habilidades assim que houver oportunidade, por isso no momento que ir para cima dele tenha certeza se consegue matá-lo ou sair vivo sem ser prejudicado na luta. Roaming é essencial visto que Viktor é um campeão que se sobrepõe no late game com muito dano e cooldowns menores. Aproveite e consiga kills para evitar que ele se fortaleça em partidas mais longas. Atente-se ao posicionamento e evite lugares sem visão pois Viktor poderá te stunar e te matar, ou no mínimo reduzir bastante sua vida, evitando que você consiga fazer emboscadas contra o time dele. O potencial de perigo de Viktor é de igual para igual visto que a Katarina pode ser interrompida com a ultimate e suas outras habilidades e possui muita velocidade de movimento e escudo graças ao seu Q.”

Dr Eggmund says “Viktor has low mobility which helps Vladimir stick to him and deal damage. However be careful of his damage output otherwise you can say goodbye to getting ahead early. All of laning phase like most other champs is not feeding your laner but in this instance it will be hard to recover if he gets the upperhand.”
0
Elite500 says “He will outtrade your Q to Q trade, he outranges you and outpushes you and has more mobility, start d shield and become invincible, you can solo kill him if you play really aggressive and smart with your own hp, care if he has ignite”
0
iZianni says “Viktor scales hard, really hard. We win early though because our champ has an easier time laning, post 2 items he's a nightmare to deal with. We still outrange him though in team fights.”
0
Ambitieux says “Viktor I say the only issue you have against him, is the scaling of the champion. He reminds me of a tiny off breed of Kassadin, due to the fact if he is fed enough he will one shot your team. Try to take early trades with him before he has his upgraded ability. You will have your passive Q to heal up, as long as you have your mana item this is almost free trades. Try to call in your jungler for an easy 6 gank, if not push him out of lane and roam. Also his attack patterns will be obvious due to Q forcing him to auto you after, so save your charm and get him then. Don't be afraid to take some damage for the value of trades.”
0
iZianni says “You outrange this champion, he does have laser but your damage output is more consistent. The issue is he outscales you.
If you're unable to punish him in lane, you need to rely on your teammates to perform.
You can 100% one shot this champion.
”
0
A Wanblee Wasta says “This is a unpleasant matchup, because Victor outranges you and does not allow you to approach him. You are a mid-range mage, so when you approach to Victor, he will throw his shield at you and the trade will badder.”
0
Coldsong says “Viktor has strong poke, but he has a very weak early game and has horrible mana issues without his Mythic item. Dodge his W and burst him once you hit your level 2 spike. Roaming is good too as he has really bad mobility.”

Shikikashi says “We can kill him easily since he is pretty immobile all we need to do is be careful of his poke.”

Marxismo says “He can bully you earlygame, as well as scale into lategame. Just rush a wit's end.”

resetwice says “He will farm safe so poke him with W. Notice that he will scale hard so keep pressuring him. Avoid his Q + aa and E so this lane will be easier. BEST RUNES TO GO: ELECTROCUTE”
0
Kessi says “Matchup could be hard as well it really depends on how good the viktor is, go aggressive before he gets his first upgrade. Viktor has a bad time if forced to recall early, careful of q/e poke.
Don't be scared to go on him, he'll most likely place his W right at his feet, so it'll be easy to avoid and you will get a trade off.”
0
Sylvan Lore says “Strong pick in competitive, but most games end too early and depend too much on the early game for him to be useful. You can trade pretty well evenly with him early and neither of you really has kill pressure unless the other makes a mistake. I usually like to trade quite heavily before level 4 because if we both back to buy anywhere below 1250 gold, i will get a useful item, and he will not be able to get his hex upgrade. This will delay his wave clear and make him quite weak. Other than that just respect his E range and it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with him.
Recommend: Barrier and Dmg Build”
0
TheDisconnectEUW says “FOR MIDLANE
Viktor is one of those traditional counterpicks. He just out lanes Zilean. Nothing more, nothing less. He doesn't do anything specifically dangerous to Zilean it's just not a winnable lane. He will be up CS and Priority almost all the time.”
0
Avyxia says “Useless early game and is easy to abuse and force him to lose alot of health for cs so he loses cs in the process.”
0
Impossible2Gank says “A tough matchup but you can easily handle him by taking resolve as your secondary tree and getting doran's shield for the starting item.”
0
duhnx says “Use either HOB or Electro with Prowler's. Pretty strong in s11 but you can punish his early game as he has no mobility and crappy cc. Careful of his late though, he will one shot you even if you have Hexdrinker.”
0
Katasandra says “[1] Avoid trading autoattacks because he wins with his Q
[2] Try to dodge his E, but if he's good it's undodgeable.
[3] Avoid standing in his W. If you go in he will use it on you and you probably won't be able to walk out before it stuns. Be aware of this.”
0
richardlized says “Viktor has strong poke and is able to punish melee champions pre 6 easily. You generally just want to farm up with single Qs and get a solokill at 6. Mind that if he just used Q, stay away from him to avoid being hit by the empowered auto. Save your W to escape his W , and after 6 you can do the WERFQWAAR combo in order to not get hit by his stun. You can walk out of his stun since it takes 1.5 sec to fully arm itself but taking the chance isnt the best decision.

Nanelol says “Viktor is a hard bully champion, he has a very high skill-cap so it depends which Viktor you are playing against. But his kit has pretty much anything. However he is squishy so try to harass him early levels.”
0
Thresh Mid says “Immobile mage with high damage over time. Jungler required for you to win this lane. Death Ray outranges you, and Chaos Storm is devastating for you since you are also immobile.”
0
xMetix says “His poke is pretty strong but before level 6 he is very vulnerable to all ins. If he has W on cooldown or if you can get through it before getting stunned you should look for a long fight and abuse his weak early. After level 6 make sure the trades and all-ins go fast so he doesn't get to melt you with The Storm.”

Hienaa says “Even tho they are ranged champions, if you hit 1 Q on them, they cant contest your insane damage output and they just have to take it. One tapped every time.”

nZk01 says “(Mid) Viktor can be annoying in the early game because of his range but you can just run into him and try to kill him, would recommend ignite/Cleanse.”

DabiDabi says “Viktor has been really strong lately especially with First Strike. Don't get overly poked out. You can win level 5-6. Akali has enough dashes to avoid his stun. ”

Nanelol says “Viktor has the advantage in lane since he can keep poking you and gain a shield, which you don't have anymore. ”
0
tozosi says “He has no movement abilities whatsoever. The only real way he can outplay you in lane is with his stun orb thing. Outside of lane, he's a super easy target to kill.”
0
TheSecretsWithin says “Q Max is recommended. Viktor is super annoying pre level 6, his zoning with W and E are insane, but your Q shielding can block most of his damage, try to keep him in lane and not feed him, so that he isn't able to get his passive stacks for no reason. But once you get your R, you can punish him for wasting his abilities and to burst him out in the late game.”

3Riptide3 says “He can bully you early if he knows how to poke but just tough it out for awhile and you will be able to shove before he can which will cause him to lose CS while you get your team a lead. ”

Nanelol says “Viktor is quite a hard lane. He can outtrade you early on especially if he take phase rush. play towards your range in this matchup.

Nanelol says “Tons of poke and damage. If you try and fight him, he will just stun you and run away. After 6 it is nearly impossible. Avoid his W and only fight him when he is vulnerable.

Nanelol says “While he can poke down your shield a bit easier then some midlane champs, he doesn't have a ton of burst early on, and you should be able to avoid his stun cage if you aren't making silly mistakes.”
0
TheDuskWalker says “All Summs. Phase rush.
He outranges you and his lvl1 is insanely strong so respect his early dueling prowess. Before his e augment he can't shove waves efficiently so aim to outsustain and farm up. You both scale really well so it's all down to player skill.”

Vispectra says “I rarely see this beautiful champion anymore. He's an even match up, his stun area is big enough to end up catching you if you try to R into him and his Q poke will be somewhat troublesome but just return the favor with your own Qs and you should be okay. He's a fairly squishy mage so killing him post 6 is very real option.”

qosmox says “Viktor lacks consistent dmg in longer trades, and want to whittle you down slowly, so this matchup is all about forcing trades as much as you can past lvl 3. Use W to block his Q-auto. Try to just farm while staying as healthy as possible lvl 1-2 and you should
be able to start hard winning trades lvl 3-5, since he can't really poke you without walking into taunt range. He's also an easy kill if you taunt-flash onto him when your jungler is ganking.”

Ryank30 says “Fleet. Take Resolve if you need. Most Viktor players don't really know how to abuse his early game, especially at low-elo. But a good Viktor main would understand how to abuse you early on and poke you out of lane. Completely avoid walking up level 1 if he has Aery because he has one of the best trades mid lane with that rune. Soak in the EXP and play for level 2 when you unlock your W. But if they do not respect your mobility and don't manage their cooldowns well, the game is yours.”

He also can poke you enough for his jungler to 2v1 you and put you out of the game. If the viktor pushes up, he's a pretty easy kill, just be careful of his CC.”

XD001 says “Play around his cage and empowered auto. He gets a speed boost and shield from the empowered auto, so make sure to trade when that is down. On the other hand, whenever he cages disengage immediately. The slow and stun are extremely long and you can die if you are unwary of them. It has a long cooldown, however, so use that to your advantage.
Late game you want to flank and try to get a stun off to 1 shot Viktor. Late game Viktor is basically god so trading 1 for 1 against him is usually worth.
Viktor heavily outscales Ekko.
electrocute + inspiration + tp/ignite”

Don't try to poke him because he'll do more damage back no matter what due to Thresh's shorter range. Just try to farm as best as possible. He'll roam a lot due to his waveclear that he has and because you'll always be under tower. Whenever he's out of your vision PING. No matter what. TL:DR Play very safe. He beats you in practically every way after lv2 and ping when he's gone. You'll always be under tower.”

You will win them for sure if he doesn't have barrier/exhaust, but make sure once again that you're healthy enough and that you don't let his W stun you. You could go for regular conqueror runes and sword start instead of resolve 2nd too, but then you coinflip the fact that you're gonna kill him early on without being poked to oblivion so it's up to you and your playstyle. Also remember that his R cancels your R so dont use your R when he didn't use it yet.

He get empowered basic attacks along with a shield and movement speed boost too, so he can be difficult to hit.

ezmod66 says “Same as Vel'koz and other ranged mages. This matchup can go one of two ways.
1.) He will out trade you with q early and try to zone you off cs while dodging your q with his q movement speed.
2.) He will stand really far back and try to harrass you with e.
So far i have found the second playstyle to be never players on the champ. when he goes to proc his q passive on you look to q him then e and aa. This will proc electrocute. They will be slightly shocked by the damage with he doesnt play with his shield properly. He will then normally play passive and try e you.
once you hit 4 you can look to trade nicely with your w placement.
Matchup Difficulty: Skill dependent.”

Tortoise_Maniac says “- You have better waveclear than him until he upgrades his E
- Push him in and roam to help your jungler
- You win jungle skirmishes early
- He shouldn't ever be able to kill you - if he places his gravity field, just E out of it
- You can trade with him early game and win quite easily
- Just be careful if he has electrocute/ingite
- He will outscale you eventually in a 1v1 so you need to play around your team
- Roam at level 6 with your ultimate
- Use your teleport proactively”

FalleN3 says “It can be difficult to win lane well versus Viktor but this is a skill match-up. His laser can poke you quiet hard from a safe distance from him and if you take too many hits from it as you try to farm/poke him you can find yourself in trouble very quickly. If you can dodge his (E) laser consistently and not get yourself stunned you will make this lane a lot easier than if you can't. After level 6 he can burst you down quickly, just as you can do to him. ”

Sushi_Cat says “Whether it's Viktor Mid or the now rare Viktor Top, this matchup is easy. Due to VIktor's reliance on his fully upgraded Hex Core, you can seriously bully him before he can get it.

There's room for outplay since he has skill-shots. Play safe and farm during the first two levels. Once you hit level 3, you can consider an all-in since you have more damaging at this point than him. PAfter level 6 you should be able to all-in him with your ultimate and combo assuming he hasn't taken a defensive spell such as barrier. He lacks mobility so call for some jungler help.”

Just make sure to bait out his gravity field because he can stun you after your ult if you do not have a W ready.”

Veralion says “MANY BEADS. The age of Klepto Fist Viktor is over, but the champion still deserves respect. Most mid Viktors are back to maxing E it seems like, which is MUCH easier to deal with. It can be played well enough to not need Fleet, but that's rather difficult and a risky gambit. It's probably best to just bite the bullet and take the safe option. Smite back the damage you take from his laser poke and farm normally. Make sure not to ever let his laser hit you twice once he has it augmented. Burnout should completely invalidate his W, just make sure you don't let him get too close while it's on cooldown. It will also let you outrange and kite his ult after the intial tick. He's a bitch to chase down and kill through his slow field, shield, speed buff, and probably Barrier, so help is probably required to finish him off unless he decides to position carelessly. ”

Gageowago says “Other than the micro play strategies I will list, know that Viktor is easily gankable since he is immobile. Attempt to get your jungler to camp you to keep Viktor from his power spike as long as possible. Try your best to dodge his laser and try to back off when he throws a projectile at a minion because he can auto you for a free shield. You win all trades if he cannot get his shield off or land his only cc. -----(9.20+ Not sure of any strategies as of right now, but he can do an insane amount of burst with his combo now. Ult away if he ults you because it is actually able to catch you now. Your main advantage on him is in the mid game if you are ahead. He is better level 1-3 and as soon as he hits second item he will one shot hard. Banshee's is a very good item to get against him. Keep in mind that late game he scales as hard as Kassadin, so he will absolutely need to be focused down first.”

topal says “Slightly favourable for galio.Try to get a good trade pre-3 and after that try to bait his w so you can all in him.His w cdr level 1 is 17 sec so look to punish him.Keep in mind that his q gives him movement speed.”

Papapostolou says “Just poke him and you should be fine, he can poke you too but the difference is that you have the sustain. You can pretty much destroy his early just because viktor is mid to late game.”
0
Lil Tidepod says “Viktor can actually almost delete you late game. Early game, he's pretty weak. Push him under turret so he misses as much farm as possible. You want to delay him from upgrading his hex core as much as you can. If he gets fed off of other lanes, do NOT fight him. He will decimate you. If he misses his stun trap, take the opportunity to complete an extended trade.”

JacWilly says “Has insane poke, try to get an early lead as he needs quite a lot of mana, late game dont disrespect him as he can dish out a ton of damage.”

Capparelli says “You will probably want Hexdrinker...too bad. Without Tiamat you cant match his shove and you cant roam anymore, if he wastes his Q fight him, if not avoid poke and farm early, you can almost always one shot him at 6, you should win the lane, but you can always lose it if you fall behind even a little”

RockitoAhri says “Do not go for a trade LVL 1. He will most likely pick Q and win it. You only poke him with Q. Avoid going into auto attack range where he can use his Q. If he starts walking up on you, walk back and deny him the chance. Keep an ultimate charge to dash out of his W. If you have your Ultimate up and he is 60% HP or lower, you win. ”

ur_mom_gay says “Don't worry too much about dodging his laser, since it's hard to avoid. WEQ and you should outtrade him. Level 6 take the all in provided he doesn't already have too much armor. If he W's on top of you after your R, just W out of hit behind him.”

s1rnasty says “A classic mage mid lane. Which to say is free real estate for morg. Every mage except those with early dps such as ryze and ori and cass is extremly morg favored lane. And even those 3 champions you can still just push and farm. Rest of the champions you have extremely high kill presure after lv7 while they have to react to you. You are the one deciding how lane goes. You are the one shoving and poking them while they need to clear after you. If they hide in the minion wave from q they take w poke dmg while you push. if they dont take poke dmg they expose themself to Q. At any point after ur w poke them to around 80% hp. A landed q should means a kill or flash because you follow up with ult + shield.”

HottestFapper NA says “Outpokes, out damages, out penis-lengths you. His W is the perfect counter to yours and his burst is the perfect counter to your existence.”

E_IS_POWER says “Viktor is really powerful early game and will definitely play aggro for the most part. If he doesnt, then he has no idea what he's doing. Only fight him if he uses Q to farm. Later after 6, bait out his W before going all in or before ult-ing him bc he can cast W as you knock him up and have you stunned for a second allowing him to escape.”
0
8wolf says “Nowadays he's more of a top-laner.
He's short ranged, but his q gives him enough speed and shield to catch up and survive fights. Poke from afar and be careful at his burst. Might want to take barrier/heal against him.”
0
Daedralus says “As a Viktor main, I might slightly be biased in terms of abilities in countering Warwick (and I encourage you all to check my Viktor Guide! ^^). If he is smart, he will place his W on top of himself, which can cause your ultimate to be cancelled and you stunned. In this situation, you are also not very likely to have your E activated, and thus, will be killed by his insane burst or by the following DPS if still alive afterwards. Thus, I recommend not to engage him with your ult if he has any chance of using his W. Other than that, he is also a champion that can protect his range at all times by relying on his lazer, making your chancing of using your Q much less. However, once you do manage to ult him, Q + gunblade and fear and all the good stuff will put him down. ”

TheSpark says “Not played very often but is very scary once his hextech core is upgraded. His laser is annoying in lane but you outrange him with your E. Force him to use a movement ability to get to you, his Q + AA combo really hurts, especially if he has Sheen/Lich Bane.”

DravensBukkake says “Ignite or TP matchup.
If he starts Q, don't trade W AA for his Q. His shield will make him win those trades. You outshove him, and its hard for mages to farm under tower. Bully him with some AA's, and when he's under tower, W Q AA him to the dirt. Note his burst and mobility is kind of gay. He's easy picking past 6 for free shuffles though. If he hits a Q, chances are he won the trade. Bully him and play VERY aggressive until he manages to back with first hexcore. After that, just try to outshove each other.”

Mid Win Repeat says “Trading with him is tricky like Orianna. They can hit you from the safety of their own minion wave and have shields to negate your damage. I would focus more on just farming and roaming in this one.”

spark2 says “Your E lets you dash out of his stun, basically negating that move entirely. He's got good poke and a bit of mobility on his upgraded Q, but he's overall not bad at all. Just try not to feed him or he'll poke you out of lane and make you useless. He'll waveclear pretty hard with his E so try to get to 30% CDR ASAP to waveclear right back with your Q.”
0
HeisendongNA says “Viktor can be a problem: his E almost clears a wave after he puts a few points with an upgrade for it, and it easily clears your turrets as well. You can't really place your turrets effectively because of that. With any usual turret formation he kills 2 turrets at least, so you have to spread them out. Also, his lvl 1 trades with Q are really strong, and he has dangerous burst after a few items and levels, so don't be too surprised if he oneshots you. Besides that he scales into lategame pretty well. Max your W after 2-3 points in Q.”
0
Cloud375 says “When he upgrades his Q, he will normally be able to burst you down better than you can burst him. His Q+Auto does a lot just like you. Overall though, this is a skill matchup which depends on how the fight plays out.”

Tayna says “It's been AGES since i've seen a Viktor player. Anyway, his damage is really annoying so watch out. You can escape his cc, but he's pretty tanky and moves around a lot. Keep farming, don't give him kills and PLAY SAFE!”
0
Garybaldo says “Bully his early game and end the game fast, he's one of the best scaling champions in the game, try not to get hit by his E and don't let him hardpush you. Be careful as his spells will slow you whenever he's full upgraded Hexcore, his ult will keep chasing after he died too.”

Euphoric Toaster says “Viktor is a pretty weak pick, but he is generally able to put up a good fight against Heimer for a few reasons. He can pretty easily kill turrets with his laser, and will hit the wave + your turrets no matter where you put them. His Q + empowered auto also clears your turrets pretty quick, especially if he has sheen. Also, once he get his Q upgrade it can make him pretty annoying to land your stun against, but Viktor a lot of the time goes E upgrade first for better waveclear.”

Harass him early when your burst is on par with him, but avoid him later on during the mid game unless you are confident you can land a solid ult.

AzureArmatt says “Victor is somewhat love/hate relationship for Ahri, his main tool to harass you in lane are two of his abilities, one is point click ability where he throws metal thing at you and on return gains shield and empowered basic attack and second one is directed AoE laser beam that will be shot in line. after upgrade expect the first ability to deal more damage and the second one to hit twice in same area. his AoE stun is just a zoning tool and his ultimate too since you can run away from it easily. if you find yourself poked really hard try buying magic resist like banshee's veil and if stun is your main problem, mercury's. otherwise build normally so you will be able to get past his shield. ”

Finish Flash says “It is too difficult to dodge Viktor's E with your E because his E has no cast time, so just play passive and farm during the first two levels. Once you hit level 3, you can all-in him since you have more overall damage. Post level 6, if he overextends away from his tower, you can all-in and kill him with your ultimate. Viktor is a bit more difficult to kill due to his Q shield and long lasting zoning ability with his W, so make sure he's overextended before attempting to all-in and kill him.”

apsonalol says “Viktor é aquela match up que você quer evitar, de ban nele, só assim você joga contra.
Brincadeira, realmente é muito difícil jogar contra o viktor, ele te da out range, out scaling, o cara é um pesadelo na vida de qualquer Sona Mid (se é que existe alguma sem ser eu né...) Contra ele recomendo fazer a build de AP Control e tentar não ser solado por ele, conte com a sorte e reze para alguem do seu time ficar forte para que você possa proteger, se tiver ganks early game ajudará a atrasar a build do viktor, se seu jungler não tiltar com a sona mid, peça para ele te ajudar com isso, assim você provavelmente vai ganhar a lane e o jogo.”

Sozzoh says “Viktor can be pretty scary if they play it right. In laning phase, be careful of trading with him level 1, since he does more damage, but levels 3 are when you should play just a bit more aggressive, trying to push him under his turret. Viktor can deal some scary damage, so try and get free trades off of him or just make this a farm lane. Post-6, you'll want to be careful in lane because his ult can follow you until you dash out of it, so if Viktor successfully baits out your W E Q, consider yourself dead. Try not to stand in his W, or else you won't be able to dash out and you'll be stunned. Kill potential for both sides of this matchup in laning phase is barely any, since Viktor doesn't have mobility to catch up to Azir, and Azir doesn't have enough early game damage to 100-0 a Viktor. Viktor is more of a burst champion, whereas Azir is DPS, so both champions should be careful of each other late game. ”

Hecki says “I don't know how long the trend continues but as long as Viktor Top is a thing he will be in this Threat Section. A good Viktor will keep his distance from you, unless he does that he will most of the times have a hard time against you. But if you let him poke you down actively things can go sour pretty quick. Play this match-up as if it is any other ranged match-up. If you took armor in your runes you could rush Mercury's Treads to minimize his poke damage.”

LunaticDancer says “Gambler not viable, D Shield. Has actually good enough poke to deal with you and his W is a surprisingly good "get off me" tool. Still, you hit like a truck if you do hit him.”

Sovereign Kitten says “Viktor is a really difficult lane to trade with as his range and hit box is relatively large and hard to avoid, since he can control which direction his (E) comes from. Avoid standing inside his (W) as it will slow and stun you afterward if you remain inside it, allowing him to activate his (R). When his (R) is activated do not try to fight with him, simply run away as it will slowly catch up to you, and is pretty easy to avoid simply by pressing your (W) and getting some distance. Magic resistance is going to help you out if you can't manage to avoid the damage, as you can safely get in a bit closer to throw out a (Q) to trade with him, however, avoiding the damage is the priority.”

The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Viktor is really powerful early game and will definitely play aggro for the most part. If he doesnt, then he has no idea what he's doing.
Only fight him if he uses Q to farm. Later after 6, bait out his W before going all in or before ult-ing him bc he can cast W as you knock him up and have you stunned for a second allowing him to escape.”

Drake6401 says “Immobility is his main weakness. He has strong poke so taking a sustained start is decent but you can run damage if you play more passive before level 3. His stun is delayed so if he places on you, dash off. His shield is a likely panic button so, you may find more success in engaging before 50 Fury so you can use both dashes without burning Fury.”

Rhoku says “TL;DR - DIFFICULT MATCHUP. GO FOR TENACITY. CONQUEROR IS REQUIRED. GO EARLY ANTI-POKE (DSHIELD/REJUV BEADS). MERC BOOTS + UNFLINCHING WILL LET YOU GO THROUGH HIS SLOWS. PHASE RUSH MIGHT WORK AS WELL BUT CONQUEROR IS GREAT. IF YOU ARE A GOOD PLAYER GO CONQ NIMBUS WITH DSHIELD MERC BOOTS INTO STRIDEBREAKER. STRIDEBREAKER MAKES HIM A FREE KILL.
Thank god Viktor is no longer meta toplane. If he is picked, you might have a bad time as him being such a niche pick usually means the person playing him is good at the champion. You need movespeed from Ghost + Nimbus to catch him. But if you land a pull, just Ghost is enough. Since only his slows are a problem, you can go Conqueror, take Dshield for the poke and go full slow resist. Going Tenacity helps a lot but slow resist is great as it lets you actually catch the guy. He is pretty immobile so once you catch up to him and avoid staying in his zone, you should be able to kill him easily. Stridebreaker is a BLESSING in this lane.”
0
YasTilt says “You can Block his Q but not the enhanced Auto-Attack and you cannot block his E with your W because it's considered as a Beam. If he uses his E or W try to pick short Trades.

En revanche si il est pick vous risquez de passer un mauvais moment surtout que la plupart du temp les joueurs de viktor maitrise le champion vous aurez besoin du ghost et de manteau nuageux pour l'atteindre il n'a pas trop de mobilité donc une fois que vous l'aurez grab et esquiver sa zone qui stun vous devriez être capable de le tuer facilement.

Saarlichenbog says “Technically Viktor is regarded as quite a strong pick at the moment but his strength mainly comes from the new items and being unbounded from his old Hexcore items from last season. He has a pretty weak trading pattern early on so taking full advantage of this will allow you to remain one step ahead of him all the time until he outscales you at 30 mins+.”

Randombeastmode says “Start Dblade, go flash ghost
and make sure that you have a single all in to deal with viki or you just kinda die to his constant overpowered no-mana poke.
You win if you get the all in, in the extended lane, or if you bait him to push/use his abilities.
Go the alternative passive runepage into him.”

A2Tap says “Viktor will poke you out the entire phase, if he has phase rush, you will not be able to take short trades with him. Wait for an opening to all in him, dash out of his W and trade heavily or kill him.”

qasddsa says “His waveclear simply outclasses you for the first 11 levels, so most of the time he'll be pushing you in or controlling the wave. Because of this, you should just look to farm - even after level 6 he wins the trade due to his longer range and ability to kite you. Once you've gotten a few items and MR, it is much easier to duel him.”

ERNESTSAURUS says “FLEET FOOTWORK / SPELLBOOK SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Viktor Top hasn't been a strong pick since Kleptomancy was removed from the game making this matchup is actually not as bad as it used to be last season where he can poke you infinitely and get his items way faster than Nasus. In laning phase his Q has a two part where the first one is impossible to dodge since it is a Point to Click Ability, but you can move to dodge the second one which is the one that applies the Sheen damage and overall more damage. Once you hit lvl 6 and Sheen its really hard for Nasus to all in him due to his W and Shield of his Q but if you see him waste his W, you can all in him and kill him. Usually they will go for Phase Rush, so make sure you proc it before going in to make use of Nasus W. Later on to the game his teamfighting isn't the best but he is really good at fighting 1v1's, look to setup teamfights with your team where he will have a hard time dealing with them since Nasus outscales him in the Teamfights.”

Grayified says “Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Viktor has really good poke but your base stats are higher then his level one. Can look to sit in the top lane brush and wait until the first 3 minions are low, then you can spin through those 3 minions and get a trade onto viktor to force him off the wave. Look to get level 2 and look for a trade with him as soon as you hit your level 2 power spike. Shove the wave in and let it "bounce" back to you (when you crash the wave into turret all the way, the enemy wave will slowly start pushing towards your turret.) If you didnt burn summs or get a kill on him the first two levels, then look to let the wave shove back into you and just look to farm. Viktor is immobile but he has really good Crowd control with his W. If you can, try to force viktor to back before he has enough gold for his first core item (the one that enables him to get more of a shield and speed boost on his Q.) If you are able to do this you can have pressure on him post 6. If lane goes even and he scales up this just becomes a farm matchup in the 1v1. In the mid-late game against viktor you can buy a QSS to stick on top of him through his W stun, or if you have multiple points in your W, the w slow is usually enough to stick on top of him even after his stun. What I like to do is hide my W animation with the animation freeze effect on Viktor's W so he doesnt know to dodge it.”

Nabura says “Take fleet + resolve. Viktor usually wants to E you AND the wave so stay away from your minions, I had a lot of trouble with this matchup until i played Viktor to get the hang of how his E works. If you struggle in this matchup I recommend that you play Viktor to get a feel for how he works.”

Ayanleh says “Mordekaiser's late game is decent, not bad and not that good either. He's mostly a mid game champion but come late game he can build tank and ult vital carries making him useful. He also has respectable damage with his passive % max health damage and liandrys.”

Discord Rengar Mains says “Mostly an annoying bastard, simply because of how much poke he has if played correctly, and the fact that his W can just completely screw you if you do not respect it. He also scales tremendously hard and if he gets a good lead he will make mincemeat of your team. However, he is very squishy early and he can't really deal with your damage until he is 6 or so, so you have a good window of opportunity. Be careful around his Q, try to delay his second proc as much as possible so you do not get chunked little by little. Always watch out around his E, the moment he upgrades it if you don't dodge it you will lose half of your HP. However, the moment any of his damage abilities are down are easy prey, just abuse bushes and minions to dodge his skillshots and Ws and try to chunk him down. If you manage to kill him twice you won't have to worry about him for most of the game, and you can try and roam to set up opportunities around the map.
Ignite and TP are both viable, it honestly depends on how much kill pressure you think you have, on him and whetever or nor you can kill him with or without ignite so you can roam harder. Any runeset works, as long as you play carefully around his abilities and go for hit and runs.”

Lynboe says “Ce match-up est tout simplement imbuvable, si vous pouvez l'éviter, évitez-le.
Depuis que Viktor se joue max Q au Top avec un gantelet givrant, il est très difficile de le punir. Votre seul moyen de le battre sera de lui rentrer dedans lors d'une erreur de positionnement ou grâce à l'aide de votre jungler.
Phase rush, Second Wind et un Doran's Shield seront nécessaire à la survie de votre santé mentale dans ce match-up.
Cependant une fois son Gantelet Givrant et son Rylai terminé, il vous sera impossible de le tuer en un contre un à moins d'utiliser votre flash.”

Janitsu says “This lane is basically unwinnable if the Viktor knows how to play the champion. If it is just someone trying FoTM, you'll most likely be fine (threat level 3).”

EvilOranges says “D-Blade. Although Viktor Top has begun to (finally) become less popular, he is still good. Your zoning and poke is better, but once he gets some items and teamfights he will outscale you. Push your lead, as he is immobile, and look to slow push the wave to dive him with your jungler.”
0
Lil Tidepod says “Viktor is really strong against Sion for one specific reason: his stun trap. You can be charging your Q and unless you end it immediately upon him placing it on you, chances are you're getting stuck in that trap. He has tons of damage with his Q, and late game he can actually chunk a quarter of your health bar with each Death Ray unless you have tons of Magic Resist. He can pop a shield relatively quickly on low cooldown with his W. Build Magic Resist and call for your jungler. Beware of charging your Q if he's close enough to lay a trap down.”

DrMoneybags says “I haven't fought toplane viktor too much, and most of them I have fought weren't very good. But his poke and tankiness/shields make him very formidable as a toplaner, so be careful. Dash out of his stun to stick onto him, and wait it out if he places it on himself. Try to kill him before he gets too much armor and AP. Hexdrinker and nullifying orb will help if he gets out of control.”

E61K says “I used to permanently ban this guy for well over 2 months until I found out a reliable way to deal with his annoying kit and perma slows. It's actually pretty simple. Go Doran's Shield + Second Wind and take Conqueror and Unflinching. You also have to go Ghost. After that rush Boots of Swiftness. Yes, Boots of Swiftness. This will, in combination with Unflinching, allow you to ignore such a large portion of his slows that it will allow you to catch up to him. If all of that fails you got Ghost as well. Phase Rush doesn't work against him because, believe it or not, he will legit be too tanky for you to kill because of all the armor he will have and the fat shield he gets from his Q every 2 seconds. Trust me, I've tried it. Overall simple when you keep those things in mind.”

SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Range, Movement speed, Poke, Reliable shielding, AP. Weaknesses: Gets out-scaled. Can't match in late game split push. Little CC. If he ends up going for the standard Viktor top, as in going Iceborn Gauntlet first item, you essentially need to shut him down as early as possible and delay his 1st Hex-Core upgrade. This is when he is at his weakest because his Q shield is small, and it doesn’t give him movement speed yet. If you can do this, the matchup becomes much easier and all you need to do is wait for you item power spikes and he should pose little threat to you in your split push. Early game his Q does a decent chunk of damage and his shield comes up just as often as your Q, so it becomes difficult to outtrade him so don’t be afraid to take extended trades. Also, your W does cancel the stun on his Gravity field but does not redirect back towards him; it just delays the effect of the stun. If you stay in the field after you used Riposte, it will still stun you or drag you back in towards the center so leave asap.”

Miracle Matter says “He beats you 1v1 early because his Q movement speed boost makes landing bombs unreliable. And then one of two things happen. Either:
You get Tear+Lost Chapter and shove him in permanently, because it's now the same as a midlane Zilean vs. Viktor except he's not maxing E (so his waveclear is much worse than yours), or
You don't shove, and just annihilate him instantly with no recourse any time your jungler (or any ally) steps near him. You just casually slow->stun->slow him and watch them kill him. Revive anyone he ever tries to touch. Speed yourself out of his ulti. Etc.
In other words, facing top Viktor as Zilean is trading your fun in exchange for his LP. He makes the lane extremely annoying, and in exchange, you get to win the game -- but only if you play it well. Don't feed him free Q harass early. Farm safely until you have some mana to waveclear/fight back.”

Saiyan02 says “Viktor is probalby one of the best to kite you down because if you E and try and all in him he will just stun you and after that Q and he might get a kill. Just don´t all in him what so ever. Ask for a jungle ganks and roam a lot this matchup”

E61K says “It's hard to trade with Viktor early. But there are a lot of bad Viktor players out there. Viktor naturally struggles against champions with high mobility, such as Yasuo or Zed. He will try to play around his gravity field when you try to dash on him. Windwall blocks the first part of his Q, not the 2nd part though. It also limits his laser but it won't make it disappear. It will just stop at the wall. Look to trade at level 3 when he steps up too far. And stay away from the gravity field. Once you are stunned by it you will eat a full rotation of his abilities and you will probably get one shot if you don't have additional MR.”

Omega best says “He is a range top anyway, he counters you, he has a slow he does tons of damage and difficult to gank, you will need a jungler who puts alot of pressure top lane and aswell you that play safe, build mr and just farm and never, never rush him.”

Demon Lord AC0 says “This asswipe is very annoying, and can deal serious damage once he gets a few items. On this matchup, rush Merc Treads and Hexdrinker onto Vamp Scepter and Zeal. Finish PD first, then Bork for sustain and chase. You can engage on him level 1 and 2 because his base armor is abysmal and he won't be able to retaliate. But be careful after that”

Ashnard says “Viktor matchup can differ a lot based on lane, but I will focus on current top tank viktor meta. Your main window to bully him is before he finishes first augment. Let him push up and freeze lane as long as possible. He can't fight back at all during early levels, so try to zone him off wave entirely. He will become really hard to deal with once he has iceborn + aug and you wont be able to kill him until you have lv 13 and core build.”
