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.

Syndra	Very Hard	352	49%	-207	-1,083	Very difficult matchup. She can play to one shot you throughout the game with little counterplay on your part. Rush tier 1 boots asap. Archangels isn't a terrible idea just for the utility of the shield in this matchup. Banshees could also be good based on their team composition. You really need to focus on baiting out her Qs and Ws in this lane. Trying weaving in and out of her Q/W range or faking/canceling autos or spells. Rushing mercs is viable. — Diamond I Paul231#NA1
