Rare Picture of Viktor and blitz

shhh you'll create a paradox
Why is blitzcrank so fleshy?
A lot of the "Don't ruin Viktor" sentiment comes from that fact that Riot actually previously ruined his lore. Really badly, lol. Lots of skepticism and distrust amongst players.
That being said, there are a few people who actually think Vik is supposed to be "good" in some aspect. He's morally ambiguous, sure, but most certainly a villain. Riot knows this and knows how to develop it, I just hope the players understand too.
Also, did you draw this? It's awesome!
I saw this a long time ago here and it felt ripe for meming
"I’m bad, and that’s good. I will never be good, and that’s not bad. There’s no one I’d rather be than me."
He's not a true villian, he's Chaotic Neutral (forgive me for D&D alignment, but they apply very well to just about anyone).
He follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. This in itself doesn't make him a villain because he's not seeking out villainous acts to perform and has no malevolent intentions, he just wants to make a great invention and - for once - not have the credit stolen.
Think Nikola Tesla.
what bad did he do indeed?
also even syndra, heck even zed (!) did much less bad than, say, ahri in her old lore
Zed did nothing wrong.
He believes in a free education and is quite the progressive ninja.
Viktor's weird. Why turn yourself into a machine when you could turn yourself into an immortal undead instead? That's where the future actually lies!

"Their bodies are frail. Relinquish the flesh. Steel can fix all your flaws."
"A shell of flesh or a shell of metal? Both ring hollow."
I don't main him, but I always root for the underdog. So Viktor's A-OK in my book.
I lol'd.
