why is piltover so full of itself

Whenever i read about piltover in the stories comics and lore etc they seem to be proud which is all well and good but sometimes a little too proud for example sometimes camille will say something a bit harsh like nobody caring about garens country after killing him and insulting vi's zaun upbringing despite her protecting piltover countless times. and it seems to me that they look down on zaun despite one zaunite individual (viktor) being responsible for the battlecast characters which potentially paved the way for viktor to create the project city in the project overdrive skins in the near future (see project katerinas splash are and look in the background and you may see what i mean). sure piltover has all the looks but that doesn't mean it's the best, most of the good scientific achievements actually come from zaun for example: dna mutations, short range time travel, advanced transhumanism( in what i assume to be a medieval /Edwardian /Victorian type time era( viktor),sentient machines that were machines to start with(also viktor) resurrecting even he most battered bodies from the dead, and even wind... magic stuff... (janna though i am not sure how) so why does piltover still thinks it's top dog despite the doing well ...not much, all i have seen are big fists, a big but still kinda badass hammer and some knife legs.You cold argue that camilles augmentations are better than viktors but to be honest they are not, viktor has managed to replace (gradually) his brain matter with techamturgry, eliminate emotions, make death rays and even has the power to take siphon pure energy form somebody and use it as a shield (this is a bit rude though). and if i am correct about the whole project universe thing he is by far the smartest person in valoran and probably will be the most powerful .I also forgot to mention he gives out these augmentations for free, he literally gave the little kid in the story a fear blocking pellet for free, sure it dissolved but it was free you don't see piltorver helping those in need without asking for a tonne of money. even rumble has more to show than piltover in some cases and his mech is just... in fact i'm not sure if it classes as a mech.

what do you all think and if there is something i am missing please tell me cus i hate being misinformed.

Only thing is, Project and Battlecast lore is AU.

As for Piltie Pride, it's because they are literally at the center of Runeterra, in both trade and technology.

Most skins are noncanon,as such Viktor never created the battlecast series in the main lore. And even then,one of Viktors greatest inventions(Blitzcrank) was basically stolen by Stanwick Piddly(who is a piltovian in the new lore)

Also in general Zaun technology tends to be unstable. Ekkos Z-Drive is noted to not work perfectly all the time.

being responsible for the battlecast characters which potentially paved the way for viktor to create the project city in the project overdrive skins in the near future (see project katerinas splash are and look in the background and you may see what i mean).

I guess you are referring to Vel'koz here,however that is NOT battlecast Vel'koz,the silhouette is quite different from the battlecast skin. The 2 skin universes are in general not connected.

and even wind... magic stuff... (janna though i am not sure how)

That wasn't invented,Janna is merely a wind spirit that made Zaun her home,because the people there needed her the most and were willing to pray to her.

and some knife legs

Uhm Camilles entire body is augmented,she has an artificial heart and is already over 80,she will live far longer than a regular human thanks to that. Also you forget Orianna,who was step by step replaced entirely by machinery.Sure in the new lore this happened in Zaun,but it was still done by a piltovian.

fair enough put personally i still think that zaun has more potential to advance faster than piltover, either that or bandle city. as for battlecast not being canon it still shows what viktor is capable of if he gets driven round the bend by jayce, and also i did some digging and it could be (not entrily sure if i could trust other posts on this forum) possible that the mecha universe is linked to the project one, we already know that the mechs were created to prevent battlecast attacks on bandle city so it is still debatable. also camilles over 80!? god she aged well, and fair enough she has an artificial heart but so does viktor at this point. also i should point out that although orianna is full machine now, viktor will be a significantly more advanced on when he is done (i'm not refering to that au skin he could look entirely different when he is done) orianna's body parts were replaced quickly because she was dying whereas viktor is taking time with his work making sure it is perfect, also viktor and cammiles augments are very fifferent, viktor has SYNTHETIC parts underneath the machinery of his arm so i can assume this is the case for most of his other augments, this means that when viktor is done he would live a lot longer than camille as synthetic parts last a lot longer that organic parts so he would live well over 80, and easily long enough to advance his work to the project universe standard (see the point i am making), if the au skins turn out to be canon after all this means viktor against all the odds finally succeeded in his glorious evolution. sure it seems to be a bit of a dystopian society but that is the inevitable price to pay for being way too ahead of your time.

i should also add that urgots lore has not been updated yet so his auguments from stanwick could soon be from somebody else, maybe singed or something.

Project,Mecha,Programm,etc.are all seperate universes. They said that they might connect them later on,but they don't want to limit themselves right now. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/Ef60a2HF-what-is-the-story-of-the-program-skins?comment=00010000

Also I wouldn't say that just because Viktor achieved something in a skin universe,doesn't mean he can achieve it in the regular lore. Creator viktor might be even smarter than the main-lore viktor.

And yeah,Camilles slow aging is due to her modifications.

Overall I'd say Zaun has easily the potential to surpass Piltover,but it also has the potential to destroy itself. Piltover might not have that much outstanding technology(at least from what we know,after all it could be possible that we simply haven't seen the best of what Piltover has to offer),but they aren't that self destructive.

Another thing that piltover has over Zaun is money. The average citizen in Piltover seems to be far wealthier than those of Zaun.Sure there are also some rich zaunites,but those are relatively few.

also despite credit being stole for blitzcrank he was still made by viktor and that's what matters, even blitzcrank knows this.
