I like to imagine that Mage Viktor is opposed by an Arcane Herald, who succeeded and wanted to spread his influence across timelines for "absolute perfection". If only Mage Viktor met a Mage Jayce, to double their strengths... (old man yaoi)

I don't like the connotation with them making hextech bad and contrasting viktor someone who doesn't have magic naturally to mel a natural born mage whose magic we are supposed to view as good.
This is what happens when you mess up your political worldbuilding

also 100% i can totally see jayce like (adoration blind devotion to viktor idealization of the mage) and cutting viktor’s hair and then being like 😳😳😳 oh he kinda a silver fox tho..

he would unironically be like jayce why are you taking this dude’s orders he PUT YOU IN THE TORTURE PIT we could have been eating fruit in my perfect world 😔 and 100% believe it 😭 THE VIKTORS ARE FIGHTINGGG

"X Magevik" & "X Machine Herald" are Viktor-type variety themes: they don't need to *specifically* refer to the mage or league's OG machine herald if you'd rather do something else with an older viktor/ cyborg viktor. We just want to highlight rarer viktor tags!

jayce: can i kiss you? 🥺
mage viktor:

He's legit crashing out.

Sevika is already on the floor dead (aka on the council) why are they doing this to her she doesn't need this
