How convenient, 12 years later RUclips is recommending me this video to be seen, since its going to be the last of what we know of the old Viktor. Rest well machine bro, time to ascend into a god.

9 years ago: a Saturday morning cartoon villain Now: a tragic guy who wants to really to make genuine progress to uplift the status of his former home and everyone but fate is cruel to him. I hope when he becomes the victor that we knew, he will still have that kind personality where he will help people who ask for his upgrades, and the reason that Jayce isn't actively seeking him out to destroy him is because of their friendship.

Hasnt it crossed your minds that somehow, i might just be someone who just happened to know Viktor via Arcane series and just got curious about his in game looks since he is different on the series and on the game? Put on your heads that some are new to the fandom and to the game!!! dumb*ss 😂😂😂
@@teamcarebhearz3451 Well then, has it crossed your mind that this video is for a LoL champion so people watching this are LoL players and everyone single one of them knows this already and doesn't need this very useful piece of information of yours?
I have huge nostalgia watching this again. This got recommended to me when this video released and Viktor intrigued me so much he was the reason I got into LoL. Has a special place in my heart and after watching Arcane I had to come back here.
There is no way this got recommended to me in my home page right as i finished watching the new viktor trailer . R.I.P Viktor's buffed build you will be missed
this champion is so amazing. i played him in aram yesterday for the first time, and i got my first ever pentakill with him. definately going to buy him when i get enough ip!
Me as an uncultured swine who started with Arcane: so Is Viktor the bad guy? My cousin who been playing LoL for nearly a decade: You’re lucky you’re giving the lore a chance.
Me, who has only played League three times years ago and only with friends: "Man, Viktor was my favorite character on Arcane, I kind of want to try playing as him." My best friend who has thousands of hours in this game: "Don't."
@@iJosiah It's good that you liked it, I'm really happy for you. But just letting you know that you are in the vast minority that actually liked the change.
@@nielsisback You should watch Arcane its an amazing show which is a prequel to LoL and Viktor has been potrayed so amazingly there, he is pretty much everybody's favorite character
Though weird thing is (spolier alert) In arcane viktor looked like he hated the hexcore as it killed his assistant, it basically contradicted his view on hextech as tools to improve lives and yet something he created took someone’s life, and i think after reading her notes it took someone with potential. So either he hates the hexcore or himself for going to far but isn’t viktor all about the ‘glorious evolution’
Jayce/Singed/Heimerdinger = Very interesting •After arcane = they are still awesome!!! Jinx/Vi/Caitlyn/Viktor = That's cool. •After Arcane = Saddest people ever. (Crying)
As much as I liked the finale of S2, I kinda wish they made Viktor use more of his moveset like Gravity Field, Power Transfer and Chaos Storm even with an Arcane twist to it. Like when Vik & Jayce flew into the same area as Vi, Jinx & Warwick, I was kinda hyped hoping for a 5 way fight so he could actually use all those abilities.
Oh my god, old viktor has silence, can move while casting E, damage over-time on R, longer casting range on W, damn such a ridiculous kit by today's standards. But he is still a hard carry champion no matter what meta it is. Let's watch him in S10 Worlds.:)) Like this post so that it becomes a time capsule.
@@matheusgiacomin2494 actually he *still* has silence in his ult, it's just the duration that's nerfed so much it's only long enough to cancel channels
i really enjoy playing viktor he is the one slowly getting me out of bronze they just need to look at his augment since it is called evolving technology they should give you further options to upgrade the augment with a variety of paths
I think the augment taking up space isn't bad. It scales well and allows Viktor to get a pretty good item for a low price. What I think would make him more interesting would be if he could switch his augment several times in a game, instead of buying one and being stuck with it the whole game.
Cabot Jasper i think the problem is the only augment that is viable during the entire of a game is Augment death but yeah being able to chop and change for certain parts of the game would be pretty cool
I've been practicing with Viktor since he came out, and I can easily say that both Death Ray and Power Transfer are really good ways to start out. I actually prefer Power Transfer first because it doesn't take too much mana away so that I can stay in lane.
I don't want to play this champion anymore , i just wanna hug him.

Kinda like his lore in Runeterra
How are you feeling
😂😢
We've been bamboozled
Hello after arcane s2: Would you like to join the glooorius evolution?
This champion spotlight requires UPGRADE
So does xerath's
agree
RatintGames So does Shaco, Nocturne, Fiddlesticks, Ezreal and Rivan. for short most of the champions' spotlight needs upgrade
No it doesn't...
@@evo-mckostis4 Yes it does, All of the upgrades are not the upgrades he receives now
I’m really curious how Viktor became this after watching the first phase of the Arcane.
yeah me too only reason im watching this rn
@@Barren_soul the story is pretty tragic i suggest you don’t spoil yourself by reading his lore, I think it will be worth the wait

Spoiler alert for those who haven't watched act 2 yet
he's dying so he made himself a cyborg or something
the hand on his back is the same invention he and Jayce were showing on Arcane's Progress Day episode

Seeing Viktor in Arcane makes me want to spend time with him lmao
I hope Viktor doesn't die in Arcane Season 2. I want to see him be this Machine Herald and use his claw in combat.
i dont think theyll kill off any champions.
@@superlad6684 at least not until they kinda resemble their Game Counterpart.

it wouldn't make sense to kill off any champion, after all, we're watching their backstories.

Rest in peace Machine Herald. Your Glorious Evolution won't be forgotten.
This Champion Spotlight needs a GLORIOUS EVOLUTION
12 years later, bro became League of Legends Jesus
I have to thank Arcane for making me become a Viktor main.
Viktor turns 10 today! He was released on December 29th, 2011. Happy anniversary Viktor ^_^
Press F to pay respect
Thank God one of my big 3 mid laners is getting recognition after all these years, thank you riot

Omg it's a wild Geodude :o
Sebastian Petruška no it's a pyradude or a geomid
So, how is it going? Got any more pentas yet?
@@optidalfprime3904 he became best victor of NA and do penta kills every game,i hope so...
Ohh old comment
Coolest champion. I don't know why I never see him on free week XD
because he is difficult to play, so the average player doesnt like him. no mainstream champion -> no free champion for 1 week
FLUX2226 Same could be said for Quinn though, and she's always on free week XD
like this time :P
He's free now :-)
Huzza :D
Finally ^_^
Now I'm back here because Viktor is coming to Legends of Runeterra.
WE MUST IMPROVE WE MUST EVOOOLVE
This is too scary, i'm here because of the same reason
that's 9 years ago and I didn't even play lol
Yeaah me to
I wished i was here because Viktor was coming to Wild Rift...
RIP the original and superior Viktor, always in our hearts
I like how this appears in my recommended after the arcane update
“Viktor is literally a champ no one cares about”
Arcane: I’m bout to destroy this man’s whole career
I would really prefer if they said "Viktor, the best Arcane boi"
Everyone coming back to watch this after arcane.
Me: Just feeling nostalgic of how League used to look like 10 years ago.
Me as an uncultured swine who started with Arcane: so Is Viktor the bad guy?
My cousin who been playing LoL for nearly a decade: You’re lucky you’re giving the lore a chance.
Goodbye old friend
Can we just revert back to this 😭
hey phreak, I'm looking for a new jungler, who should I play?
Phreak: anyone.

Bad timing for the recommendation on this video

Now I'm back because I see young Viktor in Arcane
RIP BRO WE WILL MISS YOU.
That third arm of his carried the entire show.
“Our paths diverged long ago. It was… affection that held us together.”
Goodbye Viktor! Riot Games killed you personally in 2024. I will miss you.
He is the best middle lane champion ever. Best. Ever. If you are in mid and viktor is your opponent, just pray for mercy and try not to cry.
lold
my beloved, what they done to my boy :(

So either he hates the hexcore or himself for going to far but isn’t viktor all about the ‘glorious evolution’
This is very outdated so don't worry too much about in game viktor
This will very likely be explained by season 2 of arcane.
I thought he was holding a staff not a cane as a cripple
This is an old Viktor. He no longer have hexcore
Here after arcane. Team viktor.
RUclips algorithm 100% knows what’s up
"In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good". Poor guys ;(

Goodbye Viktor.
i really enjoy playing viktor he is the one slowly getting me out of bronze they just need to look at his augment since it is called evolving technology they should give you further options to upgrade the augment with a variety of paths
augment was the main reason my friend hated him cause it leaved out a spot that a greater item could take.
yeah i know where your coming from the red augment is by far the best but it is really an early and mid game item
They should make it a trinket just like rengar's bone tooth necklaces .
I think the augment taking up space isn't bad. It scales well and allows Viktor to get a pretty good item for a low price. What I think would make him more interesting would be if he could switch his augment several times in a game, instead of buying one and being stuck with it the whole game.
Cabot Jasper i think the problem is the only augment that is viable during the entire of a game is Augment death but yeah being able to chop and change for certain parts of the game would be pretty cool
