Viktor Disabled until next Patch

Posted on at 8:40 PM by Moobeat
As you may have noticed, Viktor has been disabled most of the day today and the, unfortunately, RiotRival just broke the news that he will remain disabled until a fix can be deployed in the next patch.
"Due to a bug we have been temporarily disabled the champion Viktor. We have identified the problem and are working on a fix.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Check back here for more updates.

UPDATE:

12/10 18:00 PST - Viktor will remain disabled until the next patch. Sorry for the inconvenience"
As far as I know, the bug is related to Viktor messing with Annie's ultimate

    Not sure, but this is unheard of for a bug to affect a champion for such an extended period of time.

    The bug apparently disabled Tibbers. Like, Annie couldn't summon him at all.

    To my understanding,as long as Viktor was in a game with Annie, Annie could not level her ult. It wouldn't should a point to put in it even up to lvl 18. There was a screenshot posted somewhere on the forum, but I'm too lazy to go find it z_z

    The bug is, that when you are on the same team with an annie, annie is not able to cast her ultimate at all.

    The bug was that when you had augment death. When the DOT was applied and you had Liandry's Troment the dot would keep applying itself. {On occasion. It would keep refreshing itself.So you would just watch your health burn away.} It is hard to fix a bug champ when part of the bug has to do with two item interactions.

    I'm glad they disabled Viktor. How else would I jungle Annie with a Viktor on my team, if I can't use Tibbers?

    Heh. Maybe they'll use the opportunity to finally fix Vikor's laser animation bug... You know, 1 year after it appeared ^^

    Agreed. And they should also fix Zyras Passive already. It is so damn frustrating not being able to kill someone just because it autofires. And I've already seen this happen in a tournament, which of course can'T be what they want.

    Well, since Viktor never got buffed, he took the matter into his own hands and started disable peoples ultimates to win more. Let this be a lesson to you all Riot! Karma is starting to lose her patience.
