Yamikaze says “Major: This lane can go either way depending on who has a lead. More information found below.”

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.”

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. ”

Annie Mid | FalleN3's Guide to Annie by FalleN3 | Diamond Annie Player

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.”

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.”

Yamikaze says “Viktor should always be able to bully you out pre 6. Start Q and farm safely and avoid taking too much damage from his Q. Take trades when his CD's are down and windwall the E. You can all in him at lvl 6, or wait for jungler gank pre 6. ”

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”

Jnewbringspain says “I really hate Viktor. His laser is impossible to dodge and it has high damage with a bullshit hitbox. He get empowered basic attacks along with a shield and movement speed boost too, so he can be difficult to hit. Even if you do manage to hit him with Rupture, his Gravity Field can be thrown up quickly and stop you in your tracks, leaving you open for a bad trade. Avoid engaging with him, you will probably need to farm with Q this game.”

DarDarThePenguin says “Viktor has insane poke damage and can easily prevent you from continuing trades with his W. He has very good kill pressure from his burst damage, especially with a jungler. Take the Resolve page and MR.”

{10.24} Ultimate In-depth Yone Guide - SEASON 11 by DarDarThePenguin | Diamond Yone Player

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).”

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.”

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.”

[PRESEASON S11] RYZE THE RUNE MAGE [MID+TOP] [VERY IN-DEPTH] by Polarshift | Diamond Ryze Player

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. ”

LunarVortex says “Viktor will look to abuse your high cooldowns and zone you whenever your Q is down. Buy early boots to make dodging easier and coordinate with your jungler to shut him down as he is rather immobile.”

[10.24] Midlane Morgana - Season 11 by LunarVortex | Diamond Morgana Player

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.”

Ambitieux's MASTERS Quick Guide to Diamond+ by Ambitieux | Diamond Ahri Player

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.”

sweodigaming 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.”

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”

Manzey says “This matchup can be very easy and also very hard. A really skilled Viktor will crush you if he wants to, but most Viktors try to poke with E and farm at the same time, this is no threat to you as you can Q farm and maintain mana with your W. But if the Viktor tries to trade with you alot, you'll be in trouble and have to back alot and get put behind.”

Yeager says “Stay away from him levels 1-3. His early game is one of the strongest because he gets a shield + empowered auto, so he can negate some of the damage. After the first few levels, you should look to play aggressive and force him to base before he gets 1100 gold. If he can't get his hex core, his scaling will be delayed and you win. ”

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. ”

elnino9 says “It's okay to get hit by his Q, just don't get hit by his buffed auto attack. afterwards. Dodge his lasers, becareful as it out-ranges your shunpo. Take advantage of his cooldowns, he is vulnerable without his Q shield. When he drops his W Gravity field, make sure you have your E reset/refunded so you can jump in or out depending on the situation. Viktor R will cancel your channeled abilities, this means your R. watch for that.”

FalleN3 says “Viktor can be a tricky to deal with in lane since he is a strong laner with lots of damage, fast waveclear, and zone control with his (E) and (W). 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.”

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.”

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. ”

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.”

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.”

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. ”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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. ”

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.”

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.”

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.”

He can pretty easily kill turrets with his laser, and will hit the wave + your turrets no matter where you put them.

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.”

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.

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. ”
