What makes Viktor dangerous

Viktor shields himself and empowers an auto with Q, plants a gravity field (W) that slows then stuns if you linger, and pierces the wave with an empowered E laser. His ultimate is a moving storm that silences and ramps damage. Once he completes his core items he out-zones and out-damages most mages.
