Mechanical vs Genetic/Biological Enhancements in Zaun?

Since Warwick is being reworked, will we get to learn if there are factions who favor Mechanical/Biological research/upgrades over the other or see one type as inferior? I'm surprised Viktor doesn't view Warwick as a rival/enemy since Warwick could be viewed as someone who goes against what Viktor believes in.

Im deeply curious about Viktor's unique technology and how it fits into the world?

Old lore implied that his Transhumanist ideals were considered wrong and/or immoral by some. But after Camille's reveal I was surprisingly astonished by just how much robotic implants has become the norm. Especially among Zaunites and quite possibly some Pilties too (tho it seems to be just Camille ATM).

You look at their implants, they are clearly for more than just Pickle Jar opening. I would go so far as to say that their Hextech upgrades are on par with the Father of Bio-Engineering himself. Which makes me question why would “The Machine Herald” need to do any heralding? I mean the way Zaun is going it's likely that Vik's aspirations for "Man renouncing his flesh in favour of superior hextech augmentations" is either already happening and/or an inevitability. Plus we already know it's not just Viktor with a degree in Bio-Engineering because Singed has jumped onto that bandwagon and who knows perhaps others as well? So what happens to Viktor, has his Tech become rudimentary now? Is he still misunderstood? Even though there are people now like Vik, does he even need to work in secrecy anymore?
