I really don't like how you get your 3rd point of Q at level 7... At level 3 Q has no cooldown, I would aim to get that effect by level 5, as it is a lot of your kill potential. Past that I dislike the Corrosive Skin point at 5, especially because you skip the amazing no cd slow on q for a few more levels. Also, consider an early vanguard as another option, the hp can help viper loads
Just my 2 cents
Yeah I totally agree on the early Vanguard. It can be a huge help. Most of the games I've played with Viper I haven't needed one, but if you're getting nailed down, then yeah vanguard helps.
The 3rd Q at level 7 is really debatable as well. I sometimes hold off my ult a level or grab it, or if I'm not getting kills, I'll leave Corrosive alone for a bit. This has been my standard build for the past 4 or 5 games and it's been working really well. But all 3 of your points are extremely valid.
