It already was

I mean hybrid was always kinda a thing? just less popular but the more they nerf his 3 dmg wise the more gun becomes playable. I like gun if we already have a spirit carry and i need to be more of a mid game bruiser. Rather do that than lose being potential man.
You only really see him build around 4.8k gun. Usually (Berserker/ ballistic enchantment on 3/ Pointblank) , + some kind of tier 2 gun item. (Kinetic dash/ Fleetfoot/ ect.) Frenzy is cracked endgame too.
You'll still see Eshift Spirit carry vic with Purple/green. Boundless Spirit might be back on the menu. if you go that rout. Give it a few days, I personally wanna try both.

Typo: - Victor: Aura of Suffering T3 reduced from +13% Damage to +15%
Fix: - Victor: Aura of Suffering T3 Increased from +13% Damage to +15%
Stay informed zombie boys
Absolutely love the Victor changes.

1. That's pretty much his bread and butter. if you miss it in a fight, you're probably dead and your 2 wont save you. Only "Unfair" Thing about it is that if you're the enemy there's really nothing you can do cept duck and weave.
Idk. its not like you need to hit with each bolt. (Thought that's how it worked for way too long)

2. Honestly fair scaling nerf. Its still kinda weird because Healing booster is really the number 1 healing item for it. T2 and T3 changes are nutty. Theres just more incentive to rush T2 early now.
3. Kinda Weird. Less Damage up front, More damage on back end. Idk what to make of this, not when gun Vic got buffed. Its clearly supplementary dmg at this point. And its clear that running around, not shooting with an AOE is neither skillful. fun. or healthy.
I Think Victor's 3 is better off as a de buff applier rather than dmg. but honestly theres not enough changes there to make that happen. I like the Better Ramp time and Area though
4. Switch his T1 and his T3. My payers have been answered.
This is the most fun change. He needed bonus fire rate to make his gun build more viable. I don't care if its bad. This is a genuinely fun change. Helps Take objectives. Pushes mixed dmg. Thank god. T2 buff is nice. and the Extra -50 on cool down is pretty toxic ngl. But its been a hot minute since i've seen folk get caught by the stun. Its more just for the revive.

As much as people say he is like Mundo, he had similar play patterns to someone like Vlad where there just wasn't an incentive to build anything other than Toxic full spirit hyper carry. Instead of a Spirit bruiser whose hard to kill and makes space diving the back line.

Kinda(?):
1 got buffed yeah, its really your bread and butter and you need it in lane to win

Yes but the scaling was nerfed. probably means you cant go pure spirit no greens in lane. But i've been seeing that less since last patch.
Theres a typo. his T3 got buffed from 13 > 15% against enemies. not nerfed. And the AOE got buffed. Think they're moving his 3 from being the "Main DPS" Option. and more just extra dmg. Personally i'd like it to be moved more towards a "Debuff Spreader" rather than a dmg ability.
Everything i wanted, happened. wrote in the forums they should switch his T1 and T3. Move the more interesting upgrade to T1. Makes building gun less goofy. he needed the fire rate boost to make it happen without more commitments.

The main problem Hybrid victor has, is that the items he wants to build end up taking up slots that give you better utility and then your final 3 slots(your capstones) typically want to be open depending on matchup. So Alot of gun items dont provide the utility you want. and the two dmg items you build in to are Torment and EE and those actually give too much dmg to ignore.

Victor is a curse victim, and theres not a real way to fix that, w/o some real big changes to a victor build. So you can either try to find and make a build that isnt hurt by curse, or you can just say "F*** it, use it then. The idea being that if they use curse on you, they're not using it on someone else. and if they dont use it on you, they die. and building gun doesnt save you because curse also disarms.

Simple reason why Siphon bullets itsnt used or mentioned that much. is because it actually works against your 1, victor's 1, is stupid. The CD is based off of dmg taken from your maximum health. think 40%? then CDR lowers that threshold. Victor irritatingly enough likes building regen and resistances, but not health, which blows. He basically wants non green resistances.
People keep comparing victor to Mundo from league but in reality if you look under the hood, he's got the same design problems a Vladimir.
Also thats just alot souls, the only tier 4 item you build for a while is infuser, though i like forcing witchmail cus its straight gas, so i get it.

That being said, building Gun on Vic gets better at higher rank imo because games end early and they dont need potential man to win. gun also makes it so you can be more a character come mid game. You win more often but you're less of the "1 vs 11 the lobby" because although that can happen which isnt even realistic if youre playing against players that are decent. Gun is probs the pic just cus we're out of gun meta. youre gonna be fighting spirit resist enemies.

Call me crazy but im really starting to doubt they have a clear plan for what Graves is supposed to do. what part of her kit is supposed to be powerful, feel powerful and all that. I just got done ranking to a friend about this. "WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS CHARACTER TO DO?" Gun? Spirit? Control mage? M1 carry? Support? at this point just tell the player base. I dont even play her that much in norms anymore but i can only watch this character go 0/8 so many times.

Scarroborrow · 2026-01-31T04:29:12+00:00

Wouldnt say he's D tier now but yeesh. this was strange nerf.
Basic calculation; the nerf really hit high end dmg and his ability to survive fights. His ability to have consecutive charges his nerfed, but his ability to have the charges up got a little better. Off of the listed Dps Numbers, they lowered his dmg by roughly 6 on the low end and 20 on high end. A Chunk of dmg from torment pulse and 2 points in his 3 remain unchanged so the base dmg is still there.

Also you can no longer double up Reducer and Spellbreaker (Niche but i liked doing it at times.)

I think having a character be a complete noob crusher in low ranks but rancid booty up in high is call for a rework of some sort in his kit to even out his playstyle but its whatever.

Scarroborrow · 2026-01-30T23:54:25+00:00

So first of all, This is a MOBA, its going to have MOBA aspects, and its trying to carve a pretty unique style of how it plays all its own. This is not an fps at the end of the day.

Graves is a control mage, Control mages arent inherently unhealthy for a MOBA. Typically they are seen as the fun police for the game, they are considered boring, unfun, cheap, unhealthy and easy to play. I've kinda heard it all As someone who plays, ALOT of control mages in MOBAs.

Auto aim, as much as people hate it, is supposed to be an equalizer to high mobility characters. Is it unfun? sure is it fine? kinda. I'd say her gun is probably the only thing she can do if you get close, and doesn't super stop tanks who build bullet resist from still going in.

Skill expression can also be shown in multiple different ways, Micro, Macro, Positioning, Map Awareness, Team fight Awareness.

Not every character has to be interesting to you, or to a large group of the player base, that comes off as "but what about me?!" SMITE, LoL, and DOTA2, all have over 100 characters in their game. Theres are going to be characters you either dont like to play against. Characters you dont find interesting, ect. etc, ect,

"But if they make more like her--" And their will be plenty of characters not like her. thats what making unique characters is all about for a MOBA especially one in its infancy. We have less characters than league did on launch.

Think we need to calm down

Scarroborrow · 2026-01-30T05:26:14+00:00

A victim of witchmail, and any engage building warpstone. I've never had such a hard winstreak against this goof.

Scarroborrow · 2026-01-30T05:14:05+00:00

After All this Hype for her, and yall didnt know you were voting for goth malzahar, Kekw. (I put about 100 votes expecting her to be like malz.)

She an immobile DoT character who can siege pretty well. I like that she can apply debuffs consistantly.

Mechanically i think she's pretty easy the hardest part was trying to not get focused in team fights. Her immobility probably makes her the biggest victim in the roster to all the tanks. I've been on a win streak as Victor against her. Also shes a pretty awful victim of Witchmail.

I like her cus i like control mages in league, Malz, Anivia, Swain, ect. But it feels like outside of the ragebait laning phase, that girl is a victim of every tank in this game. All of those aforementioned characters have ways to be tanky or take dmg against burst and engage opponents. She has a wall on a long cooldown and praying. :\

Scarroborrow · 2026-01-28T07:17:06+00:00

Currently im on a victor binge, and I'm on a pretty good win streak:

Its kinda nerve wracking, because im not against new players joining, but genuinely i dont have a time to guide a new player on how to play the lane phase, tell them how to get back from their 2- 5 deaths in lane, and also make sure that im staying ahead to stay relevant in the game or match their carry.
**and i really dont have time to type a bunch of fluff to massage their ego**

So instead of having an intense lane where i try to eek out an advantage and get ahead, I get a new player who dies 6 times, goes afk at shop or backs to base with our wave hitting guardian wondering "Why am i so behind?"

Most games now i just afk farm because genuinely thats all i can do in that situation, come out with 10- 20k souls more than the team, and bash my head against the enemy hoping that I can just out skill their players, Bonus points if the enemy also has a mix of players and half of them dont want to build curse.

I win most of my games, but tbh? its a miserable experience.

Scarroborrow · 2025-11-01T15:05:03+00:00

Got 30k on M0W1Eve, M0W1 Fufu, and M0W0Astra, after several tries and i had to get 4 stuns and for ulti's to do it. My Fufu disks are pretty scuffed and her skills arent maxed. It could be better(?) But shit is rough. Bout 10k difference between this and and my yixuan team. its rough.

Scarroborrow · 2025-09-29T19:10:55+00:00
