Viktor absolutely NEEDS to have a unique quote when he purchases the perfect Hex Core!

The Anagram King··51 votes·4,229 views

I mean, this isn't just any lame old augment! It's not like he's had to choose between 3 prototypes and stick with said choice until the end of the game - this core is indisputable evidence of Viktor's utterly unrivalled ability as an inventor (take THAT, Heimerdinger!). He has fused every single aspect of each prototype into one super-augment; and even an emotionless robot has to feel pretty darn good about something like that.

Just imagine clicking on that 180AP item, fully adapting each and everyone of your active abilities, only to be greeted with;

Viktor : "My form is flawless!" Viktor : "Viktory is all but assured." Viktor : "Unrivalled Power!" Viktor : "Where they grow weary, I grow strong."

Or something equally fitting of a cyborg who has just gained access to the single most powerful item in the game?

That last upgrade is a game-changer. It should feel as epic to purchase, as it does to utilise.

Also he needs some taunt to Kha'zix! Something about evolution.

Even if they just recycle "Behold!" it would be nice

I would kill for a dubstep remix that plays for 30 minutes following the augment purchase.

And that would be how Viktor became the new Teemo

"Making me buy my own invention!? Absurd!"

I don't know... It just feels so weird that you're buying your own greatest invention from the store.

I dunno, I feel like it's more of paying to get the stuff to upgrade your invention, versus just buying it. As he gains levels he gains knowledge to upgrade his whatsit, and pays for the parts to do it himself, albeit very, very quickly.

Alternate suggestion:

Viktor "I.... miss...." --holds up hands in the air, dramatically-- Viktor "...Blitzcrank!!"

Summoner's Rift just took an emotional turn! (Please don't use this quote, Riot, I would cry.)

A joke pointing out the awkwardness of the whole situation could be pretty awesome. Maybe a dissatisfied Viktor quote when he clicks the 'purchase' button, but can't afford to upgrade?

Viktor "Oh. Hrm.... well... how much is an Amplifying Tome?"

How about a character specific taunt?

"Richards Jayce, your fate is sealed"

The day that Riot finally gets around to doing a full visual update for the Machine Herald will be the happiest day of my life. The sheer scope of possible character interactions, purchase animations, augment animations, recall animations, taunts, jokes, and - hell - even the adding of the new (rather awesome) collar featured in his splash to his in-game model, just makes me sick with anticipation.

I suppose that's the next step after his rework and TU.

A full on Visual remake. :P

In addition, I'd like to see more visual effects / indicators when he augments.

Or - and just run with me on this - a secret animation plays while you're in the shop after purchasing any cores, in which Viktor upgrades his own creation. You hear the noises, and your teammates are all: "Oh my god, that was awesome - what did you just DO?!"

But the Viktor player never ever gets to see it. And it will drive them mad!

Though don't get me wrong - I sincerely and genuinely hope the augmentation fx are a bit more thematically appropriate when the Herald makes it to live. A whirring, tinkering noise followed by a flash of light and an augment colour change would be... uhh.... one of infinite possible suggestions that could be made by people in this thread.

When he gets it he should yell out "THE GLORIOUS EVOLUTION"

7ha7guy7772 votes

or perhaps "The glorious evolution is complete"

The Red Warden2 votes

Would not work well since the glorious evolution is only completed when everyone is a cyborg. Read his bio

I feel like he has quite a few quotes that could be reused for this, so even if they can't get a new line it'd still be fantastc.

"Metal Is perfection" springs to mind.

On a related note, I've always been partial to utility Viktor yelling "Consume!" whenever he eats a health/mana replenishing cookie.

"With this, the Glorious Evolution will begin!"

In regards to taunting Kha'Zix...

"You took the wrong augments, I could have made you superior."

Lord Graves III2 votes

I agree. They won't do it because voice actors are hard to get and schedule with. But christ that would be great.

Buys the perfect hextech core

Viktor** Now about that Skarner guy.**

The Anagram King1 votes

I'm not sure about Viktor and crystal references, but could easily imagine a unique Jayce taunt, in which he says to skarner:

Jayce "Oh look, a crystal that I don't own. I guess I'll smash the crap out of it and blame Vkitor!"
