Playing against Viktor
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Punish Viktor in early game (pre-upgrade): he's weak before his first E upgrade.
His W (Gravity Field) has a delay before the stun — get out of the zone before it triggers.
Viktor is immobile: assassins and direct engages punish him well.
His R deals continuous damage — don't stay in the zone, move to minimize the ticks.
