All right, can we talk about how fantastic the Viktor short story was?

I was never really a big fan of Viktor until today, when I read his color story. He sounds... human. Like, he sounds like a real scientist, one who's been rejected and takes it all in stride now. Yet he's also brilliant and accepting, not getting mad at the child when he keeps asking questions, instead pushing him in the right direction, encouraging him. He makes sweetmilk for the child, and gives him the augmentation free of charge.

Viktor is a good dude. A bit misguided, but generally good. His new bio is great, but his color story has made him one of my favorite champions now.

I thought it was rather well-written. I LIKE stuff that's well-written. I also like that most of Viktor's comments were about how lame and silly humans are. Influencing young minds and tampering with their fear responses!

Delicious.

The new lore was written weird. I think it was tampered with to sate the fanbase complaints. But even I must confess - the short story was totally awesome.

Yeah.

Thanks to his color story, I learned that Viktor is actually wearing a mask.

I've saw a handful of comments like yours today - and it makes me so happy. This is why Viktor has so devoted fanbase here on boards: we saw the human in him in his old lore, and we wanted others to see a human in him as well, not an evil robot overlord so many assumed him to be.

With the new lore, I hope more and more people will come to like the character for this exact reason as it got stated less ambigiously now.
