But I'm not surprised. Neither of the effects of Viktors Evolve Power (Yellow) happened (Listed effects: Heal 15% of damage dealt by Chaos Storm, your Q bounces back to the enemy once for 40% damage). Another thread stated neither of the effects for Viktor's E worked, either. But it's good to see they're there
Rough rundown:
Evolve costs another 1k on top of an augment, and evolves to the same type of Augment (IE: You can go from Augment Power to Evolve Power, but not from Augment Death to Evolve Death).
Evolving gives a lot more stats, another effect to the augmented ability, and an ability to Viktor's ult
Evolve Power gives even more AP on top of his passive (I believe 45), more HP (around 500), 30 Armor/MR and 35 Tenacity. His Q bounces to the same target after he's shielded and deals 40% damage. His Chaos Storm heals him for 15% of damage dealt by it
Evolve Gravity gives AP, Mana, Cooldown, and 12% Movespeed. Gravity Field is now 20% larger, and there's no startup time (WOAH). When someone is damaged for the first time by your ultimate (I don't know if this means on initial cast, or if the first is a tick of the DoT), they're silenced for 2 seconds (WOAH).
Evolve Power gives AP and 30% Magic Pen. Heat Laser deals 30% bonus damage and the ray goes 30% farther, too. Chaos Storm deals bonus damage on its initial cast.
Analysis: Each extra evolution further cements Viktor into a role (Armor/MR/Health for tanky, CDR/Movespeed for supporty, AP/Mpen for bursty) and makes each ability rather ridiculous. Your Q, when evolved fully, does 364 base + .91 AP scaling and on a 3 second cooldown when CDR is maxed (Which is a lot easier, now). This makes Viktor incredibly tanky, increases his single-target burst, and makes his survivability rival Swain when his ult is ticking. Your W, when evolved, can be cast 20% farther, is larger, and there's no set-up time so there's no escaping without a blink or using flash. Furthermore, 2 second silence on an entire team is huge and you can easily cap CDR with one or two items and this (Plus movespeed, woo!). This gives him CC that makes Alistar jealous. 1.5 second slow to a 1.5 second stun, with no wind-up, in an AoE that could fit an entire teamfight, on a 6 second cooldown? Riot Pls! And his E now hits even farther and even harder, you can have the penetration (lol) of Xerath with it (Void Staff + 30% from Evolve Power) and suddenly your inital AoE burst is huge huge huge.
Viktor now plays a middle of three roads: Swain, Morganna, and Annie. Oh, he gets to pick which one he becomes, while retaining traits of all three.
Viktor FotM incoming.
