Viktor somehow keeps avoiding nerfs despite everything, but Corki's winrate isn't nearly high enough in Solo Q to justify nerfs. I won't say they're busted, but they're still a pain to play against. I'm glad pro-play is back since their 100% P/B presence across all regions will send them back to the Shadow Realm where they belong.

He does. Just because he doesn't rush it doesn't mean he "doesn't build" it.

Viktor's build is Crown into Shadowflame, Void, Rabadon, Zhonya and boots (not in that order). That might change with the Lich changes but right now, LB is not built on him except by 3% of all players (according to op.gg).

Love playing him but I'm not looking forward to the balance team hitting him over the head. All of my favourite mid laners are strong right now.. it does not bode well for my winrate in a few weeks x)

It doesn't matter. You don't build these together.

Do you wanna break that news to Faker, or shall I?

The game rarely requires you build both - usually it doesn't go on long enough, or there's a different utility item you might want, but you can absolutely build void and shadowflame together

Either way, the point is that Viktor is not broken b/c of Lich Bane because he doesn't build it, and regardless of your thoughts on Shadowflame + Void, Viktor isn't really building LB to replace either of those
