Playing against Viktor

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Punish Viktor in early game (pre-upgrade): he's weak before his first E upgrade.

2

His W (Gravity Field) has a delay before the stun — get out of the zone before it triggers.

3

Viktor is immobile: assassins and direct engages punish him well.

4

His R deals continuous damage — don't stay in the zone, move to minimize the ticks.
