What are some tips for the Hwei vs. Viktor matchup?

You outrange him only with QW. His E range outranges every other spell you have. Be careful of his level one strength with Q Qauto. Its pretty much impossible to dodge Viktor E unless he is throwing out max range lasers. Thus, be mindful of stepping into his E range since it will likely lead to you eating his E damage. If he steps into your EE range you can look for some big trades onto him. Play for wavestates and QQ/QW poke onto him in the lane. He will outscale you in teamfights in terms of raw damage, but you have the edge in terms of pre E evolve waveclear and utility. He is an immobile mage in lane so you can always look to set up your jungler with E/R. Play to shove waves in and roam if he plays safe in lane.
