playing vs Viktor toplane when he was strong there like 7 years ago was a fucking nightmare, similar to prime Gragas this past seasons. Vik could do everything, poke, shield, move fast with phase rush, shove and invade... As for designs for a machine herald you can do a lot of cool stuff, buff a wave of minions with mechanical parts or take a jungle mob and do the same maybe (give different effects depending if its a krug wolf raptor), make the abilities evolve in different ways, maybe summon a prototype of a machine to help you, drop mines on the ground to chain cc, whatever man. I heavily disagree on his point of ' i dont give a damn how he looks', it's bad to lower the standards of something that we had at a decent level that could potentially be even better with todays artists/tech. What we have now is Jesus model trying to be Madara Uchiha putting everybody in an eternal dream. I wanted a belic conflict with machines everywhere goddamn it..
The champion has been subpar wver since the passive change. Just play Syndra, Ryze, Orianna, Xerath or that twink Hwei. Wait viktor is now a twink too, randomly smh.
Yeah, I disagree about Victor not having an identity. Just because there are better scaling champs, doesn't mean there is no place for him. There is always a niche position for him in a game with 150+ champ. The ASU is personal thing for people and I can see why people are very disappointed with it.
which niche does he cover? There is zero reason to pick him over other mages, unless you are a Viktor main or otp. He scales worse than Syndra, he has less utility than something like Hwei, who has better mid game, and I dont even need to say anything about his early game. I like the champ but he is bad, and has been for a long time
Although I adore Viktor, he really just gets outclassed because he's trying to be something he's not. He's supposed to be a battlemage with consistent dps and can stay in a fight, but he's too squishy to do that so he's forced into a more bursty one shot mode, which other champs in the field do better than he can. The champion who's whole schtick is The Glorious Evolution has less evolution than Kai'sa or Syndra imo. He has 3 different aspects of his kit that they could've expanded on with the VGU and instead we got a glorified VGU where they ruined his two best skins (Death Sworn and High Noon). I really don't think it's a "personal thing" and the fact that you called it an ASU supports that, we didn't get anything to fix the champion to let him have his place in the game
@@MiiaBestLamia clueless as in the guy only watched the "visual spell update" and not reading the actual changes before making this statement, no need to get emotional here.
@@AT-mm2em so uhm. what is his in game indentiy. dont get me wrong but i am pretty sure that bwipo was mainly referring to gameplay. and viktor does not have an identity there that is covered in his new themes. he has the old spells of a cybernetic human / inventor but is supposed to be the herald of the arcane of glorious evolution, yet his evolution is gated. Further, none of his spells interaced like orianna ball, or syndra balls which makes his play patterns quite one dimensional. And lastly, all his spells keep their old issues. This simply makes him a mediocre mid to lategame mage with no clear strength unless his is overstattet. Could you elaborate your take here, why this is a clueless take ?
@@AT-mm2em Anything Viktor does or has in his kit, champs like Syndra or Orianna do better. He has clear options of either being a hyper scaler who GLORIOUSLY EVOLVES HIS ABILITIES, or a battle mage who sustains through a fight similar to Ryze. Back in the day he was able to fulfill both fantasies but has fallen out greatly. It's a shame that who guy who's supposed to be The Glorious Evolution guy has champs in the game who literally have better scaling/evolution features in their kit that are better than him. Syndra's stacks evolve her abilities dramatically and give her staying power in the game, and true dmg to deal with tankier targets, Kaisa's evolutions either super upgrade her abilities or change the way she can play and have outplay potential, while Viktor only really has his E that actually evolves and expands upon its usage, his Q shield got SUPER gutted from where it used to be, and he has nothing in his kit to compete with extreme power of tanks in the current meta. He could be so much more, so it's so disappointing to see the complete lack of effort from Riot's part to make him flourish. Even from the design standpoint, the skin redesigns lack passion and character, they've gone with a good idea and just butchered the process completely.
@@AT-mm2em "No need to get emotional here." In not a single Universe, past or present, was that an emotionally charged comment. Dude just asked you a question lmao
Realest shit I've ever heard, such a fun champ kiting with the q movespeed. They just need to change his w, it doesn't work in current league
I really like the "ZAP!" auto after Q. The speed is sooooo satisfying especially with Lich Bane
bwipo kinda sounds like jordan peterson, no flame just pointing out
in hear it lmao
Careful bro, you're gonna trigger all the woke leftoids who thinks that "hE's jUsT A fAr RIghT wiNg!!" just by mentioning his name
@@KennyMcGavin Me when I make up things that haven't happened to get mad about

He doesn’t have an identity you are dogshit at league and dogshit take
Bad take
@@Infidel. Sure buddy
kinda clueless take lol
Yes, a challenger level pro-player is clueless, but your Silver 2 take will definitely be based and correct. Please do enlighten us why he's wrong.
