How to Use Viktor Counter Data

Searching for dependable Viktor matchup data? The figures below are pulled directly from live ranked Mid lane games rather than guesses from a tier list. The champions giving Viktor the most trouble right now are Xerath, Syndra, and Kassadin, where his win rate falls the farthest beneath his overall average. Xerath is the toughest of the bunch: Viktor has won only 46.4% of the 4,329 games recorded against him. On the other side, Smolder, Mel, and Azir are matchups where Viktor holds the edge, so they are worth targeting during champion select.

Every card lists Viktor’s win rate in that matchup along with the sample size behind it. A pairing backed by tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags are derived from those win rates (under 48% is Hard, over 52% is Easy), so they simply help with reading the numbers and are not separate statistics. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does.
