Orianna and Viktor Enemies... Why?

Crowe Stalker··3 votes·1,967 views

I haven't been able to find any reliable lore on why Orianna and Viktor are enemies on their champion pages. I heard a rumor that it has something to do with Blitzcrank's Creation, but I doubt it since they are both friends of Blitzcrank.

Could it be that Stanwick was involved with Orianna's creation? If not, I have little idea why they would be enemies, considering they are both Cyborgs (or perhaps Androids would be a more accurate term?)

I'm just curious what the reason is, if anyone else knows... I'm not asking for an in-game event, just wondering...

You know what all artists hate?

Art that is better, richer, and deeper than their own.

Not sure of the reason, perhaps it will be elaborated on later.

I would say Viktor is more of a cyborg (still partially organic, but has robot parts) and wants to see the world "evolve" into essentially, robot beings. It is confusing then why Viktor wouldn't really like Orianna, because she is more of an android (a purely robot being made to look human) and that's exactly what Viktor is pushing for.

Perhaps Orianna just doesn't agree with Viktor (being from Piltover) but the vibe I get from Ori is she's not really THAT concerned with Piltover (no further than her programming tells her to be concerned :P) However, rereading her lore, it says she's concerned with fitting in and "no matter how hard she tries, Orianna can never be human" So perhaps she has the opposite goal of Viktor--Viktor wants to be less human whereas Ori wishes to be more human. So maybe their goals just conflict too much?

I would have to agree here. Their goals are equal and opposite. Viktor : Humanity is imperfect and should be as close to completely mechanical as possible. I see no reason why any machine wouldn't want to stay that way. Orianna : I don't like being an imperfect mechanical impersonation of a human. I don't see why any machine would want to stay that way.

I agree fully with your view, but while it was quite short and concise, let me add a TL;DR to that:

Viktor Human who wants to be a robot Orianna Robot who wants to be a human

They literally have contrary goals.

Viktor probably keeps hitting on her, that's why.

Well maybe they should redo the lore for both Orianna and Viktor, add one interesting fact.

What if Viktor is Ori's father and there enemies because of what he has done in Plitover and she turns against him?

That could be interesting, considering that Viktor is and always has been a very skilled engineer, although I think it'd be better if her 'Father' remained Corin Reveck, but instead, he could not finish the machine alone... Learning of Viktor's involvement in Blitzcrank's Creation (and possibly knowing that Stanwick stole credit) Corin comes forward to Viktor with a challenge: create a new child for him out of Techmaturgy, which would further Viktor's "Glorious Evolution" since he would learn how to create purely Techmaturgy Children and solve any issues related to reproduction. Viktor accepts this challenge, incorporating knowledge he had gained from his own transformation in order to further improve the intended design. When Orianna was completed, both Corin and Viktor felt like there was something missing... So Viktor created the Ball that serves as her pet (and faithful companion)

Orianna, now 'reborn' as a Techmaturgy marvel, was deemed a success by both parties, who brought her forth to the League of Legends to fulfill her purpose. However, when she attempted to interact and befriend other Champions, her nature (being not just a Techmaturgy-based being, but also a creation of Viktor) found herself isolated and hated. Frustrated at this, she secretly renounced Viktor having taken any part in her creation (to improve her social interactions) Infuriated by both Orianna's renouncing of him (meaning yet ANOTHER project by his hands was entirely credited to someone else.) and also angry at the fact that Orianna refused to see the benefits of his "Glorious Revolution" he decided he must remove her as a new obstacle in his path to "Improve" Humanity (and may or may not have killed her 'Father' out of spite, I leave that last bit to Riot)

I think he don't like her cause she is a machine trying to be more human, while he is a human trying to be more machine. So basically he is abit envious of her
