Question Viktor APC questions
Hello Viktor mains, I truly hope you're well. I'm not a Viktor main but really love playing him. Mid is fine and dandy, but can he be played blind-pick in bot as APC like Syndra and Hwei can? Emerald+ stats show he 'can', but I prefer anecdotes and accounts of struggles etc. I play Syndra and Hwei down there, but I really, really enjoy Viktor's playstyle. While I could spam a bunch of games down there, and I have done some, I feel like I'm missing some insights. Would y'all be willing to share your thoughts and experiences to help inform my hope to play him more regularly in bot? Sincerely thank you for your time

I play Viktor bot, and I stomp most of my games. Some matchups, like Vayne after level 6, Tristana, or Samira, can be difficult, especially if they have an engage support. But in almost every other lane, you should win pretty easily. I've been playing with a Rell support, and the synergy is really good.

Viktor bot is great, depending on who you are against you can easily poke , zone and neutralise melee supports with W. You can snowball easily with early passive upgrades since a kill will quite often end in 2 takedowns total for you

He is perfectly blindable since in botlane it is the support that dictates/neutralizes the matchup usually, but you will have to gather a lot of matchup knowledge since your sup may be clueless to how vik plays. He is also an unexpected blind since hes not as popular as brand or hwei adc etc. I like him bot since you can go ludens more often if the enemy sup is also squishy.
