No kidding , Brian was great . I ' m starting to consider the viability of replacing my twitch sub with alpha so I can keep watching Talks . So they ' re doing something right . <| sep |> No hotdogs , he doesn ' t lean that way . <| sep |> Srjc ? Haha <| sep |> My mother in a nutshell <| sep |> Disclaimer by Q 1 and Q 2 I mean the first and second part of your Q , same goes for E 1 and E 2 , they are respectively the laser and the burnout on the laserI wouldn ' t use W offensively unless a group of people are already cc ' d down . Say your Amumu ults , or Sejuani ults , or Lee kicks one people into 3 , and yadda yadda , if in any way your team gets some hard cc on 23 people including at least one priority target then you immediatly drop W under them offensively . It ' s almost impossible to get the stun out of it unless you are using it defensively unless what said above happens I use to keep it as a safety tool if an assassin or fighter dives me , I just drop it under my feet and they will get stunned if they continue the all in . Another good use is to cut people off , especially in the jungle . In some jungle clutches it will cover up the whole space between walls , so if you are running away you can drop it between your team and theirs for a safer disengage , OR if you are somewhat flanking you can put it behind their team so they cannot disengage use this in a fight you know you ' ll win for sure , like clear number advantage or snowballing . Last but not least , your empowered W drags everybody in the center , which means that is the perfect setup for an E 1 R Q 1 E 2 Q 2 combo on multiple people . So let ' s move on to how to actually do damage your main combo is the one above , laser into ult when you reach a good spot and wanna improve mechanically focus on doing the spells almost together into , if SAFE , the first part or even both parts of your Q . I prefer to lead in with laser since if you cast it correctly you have the longest range on your spells , so you can judge if it ' s good to keep going or better to back off an alternative can be Q 1 E 1 Q 2 R , or Q 1 E 1 R Q 2 , it ' s really up to you . For the sake of speed I tend to always go with the first one , since you can cast E and R basically together , so E 1 R Q 1 Q 2 hopefully hitting the E 2 part too . Anyways , this is what you use when you want to delete your target , like the adc or apc or squishy jungler when a threat got caught out of position you immediately use this . Poking can and should generally be done with your laser , since again if correctly casted it has quite some range , and overall very good damage . If you have Rylais it will also slow them , so try making it pass through multiple enemies . If you actually need a more kiting fighting style , your oneshot combo isn ' t really gonna be useful . Rylais is crucial here , as combined with the empowered Q speed boost , and with Ghost if you run it , will make you very hard to catch . If this style is needed they have mostly tanksbruisers , or you are waiting for an engage , or no squishy is out of position you poke with E and with Q , be careful that to poke with Q your motion should be always keep a couple of step out of the Q range , which generally is the safe range take those couple of steps closer Q 1 MOVE either back or sideways , depends on the situation Q 2 if safe to go back in , or E while walking backwards , if not safe to go back in . Walking while using your laser is where Viktor becomes mechanically challenging so don ' t worry if you don ' t get it in 2 games Keep your W and ult if they dive you , or if a squishy gets caught out , which should make you immediately focus him switching to playstyle n . 1 Last thing I ' d like to say is that even if you delete the squishy , keep spamming your E off cooldown during the whole fight , or generally , use playstyle n . 2 , the kiting one . You are a monster , dps wise , not like a dps mage like azir or cassiopeia but close enough . Your ulti which I read you ' d like advices on should be used in the situations I said up , so deleting someone caught out , if you ever catch 23 people in the W and one of them is a priority target , deleting someone that jumps on you using it on yourself pretty much , or the fight is almost over and there are few low health people remaining so you drop everything to clean up . Don ' t really bother chasing enemies with it , if you drop it on someone important to kill , maybe press R again and click on them to make it chase them you move it by pressing R again and clicking the direction where you wanna place it , but if in a teamfight it ' s more worthy to keep your safe positioning 99 % of the time . When you get Viktor basics down the ult mechanic you should focus on is , if you dropped it , to make the most out of it and move it in the middle of the fight , even the frontline is good , and then leave it there for the free damage and keep using your rotations . It ' s not worth to waste a QE rotation just to get one or two extra ult ticks on someone generally . I hope it helps , I ' ve never really mained viktor but he has been my second pickmain for the whole ranked season and still is
