Viktor

Viktor is an AP mage in the adc, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a strong pick — a 53.9% win rate, 0.3% pick rate, 3,451 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Viktor is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.

How Viktor wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Viktor tips the fight, and winning the wave and turning push priority into map control. The kit grades 9/10 teamfighting, 9/10 waveclear, 8/10 siege. Viktor's soft spots are roaming and split-push (3/10, 2/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.

The most-played core build is Blackfire Torch, Liandry's Torment, Zhonya's Hourglass, which holds a 61.5% win rate across 169 games this patch. The build above re-optimizes once you lock in the enemy composition.

The lane swings the other way into Ashe (55.3%), and on the team side, Viktor gains the most from a Thresh (+11.6% pair win rate).
