Jayce's lore here.

As a scientist himself who only became bitter and evil because credit for his work was stolen by someone else, wouldn't outright stealing another scientist's invention for his own gain be completely out-of-character for Viktor? IF Viktor would steal anything for his own gains, you'd think it'd be something Blitzcrank related...like Blitzcrank himself.

On another note, whoever designed Jayce....did you get inspirations from watching Megamind? Jayce just reminds me of Metroman.


PS - what is the name of Dirk Hardpec's wife? Venus Softmelon?

PPS - not that I'm exactly asking you to outright change the lore to please the fanbase. That would be ****ish at an artistic level. I rather have an explanation for this change in Viktor's behaviour.

Yeah, I think everyone can agree that Viktor's role in Jayce's lore is totally bogus.

Captain Gordon.

I do NOT approve of what Riot has done to me in this nobody's Lore.

i agree completly and just so everyone here knows here is the GD thread of this

Dear reds: In case the past 3 threads didn't get it through your head, we find your current lore horribly wishy washy, and are not impressed by how you're treating Viktor. Thank you, that is all.

Listen up kiddies

As I've said, I think it makes sense.

You're looking at Viktor as if he is still human beneath his hextech augments - he's not. He's favoring logic and reason over morality and emotion. Logic and reason would dictate that he take the designs which he needs if they already exist. Morality and emotion would dictate that he would not do this because it had been done to him in the past.

As rabid fans -should- know, Viktor eliminated morality and emotion when he became the Machine Herald.

His act is only villainous if you look at it through the eyes of a human. Through the eyes of a machine... well, villainy doesn't compute.

Through the eyes of a machine he's acting stupid and illogical.

Angering a fleshling who has the support of other fleshlings stalls, rather than hastens, the Glorious Revolution. Trading designs for bad reputation does not beget the change Viktor desires. As it is, Viktor has few supporters lore-wise. Logic would dictate that he attempt to improve his reputation so that some of his more extreme schemes would not be met with such hostility. Pacifying/sympathizing the masses - the cornerstone of any good movement.

While Viktor is by no means a shining paragon - quite the contrary, he will "shoot the dog", so to speak, to get what he wants - he is also by no means stupid, as Jayce's lore makes him out to be. The Machine Herald understands that while he can do the revolution without the support of all organics, at least a few must back him up for him to succeed.

Wow, I just read his lore.
Viktor's entire transformation was driven by a depression because of his stolen work.

Viktor's driving obsession is the Glorious Evolution.
He joins the league to field test his greatest invention - himself.

He's a perfectionist who believes in his own work so dramatically that he fused himself to it.

Why would he bother taking anyone other inferior scientist's stuff like a Saturday morning cartoon villain?

I guess Riot's lore department really did get replaced with Bioware-tier professional bull****ters.
