He's never losing his mind like Jinx or losing hope like Vi. He's always keeping himself low profile because he doesn't want to involve any shenanigans that created by Piltover and Zaun.

      Honestly, you can go further. If we are going off the train of thought that Viktor is a supercomputer, him saying "That device can't be" can be read as "command does not exist". As far as we know, we can accelerate time by traveling closer and closer to the speed of light. But as far as we know, reverse acceleration of time is an impossibility.
      Viktor encompassed everyone and everything. He thought, therefore he was (AM/Cogito Ergo Sum). Then in an instant, he is presented with proof of negative acceleration (Z-Drive). He can not be everything if he is presented with something that can not exist. In that exact moment, Viktor could do nothing to stop what was about to happen.

    They may have never met before, but I love how their battle is one of opposing ideologies, which is exemplified by their quotes:
    _“That which inspires us to do the greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil,”_ which is the point where Viktor surmises that to achieve the perfect utopia one must estrange themselves from passion which can lead to suffering, as opposed to Ekko’s:
    _“It’s not enough to give people what they need to survive, you have to give them what they need to live.”_ Ekko believes that happiness is not the end to suffering, but to be given a hope and passion for a better future.
    Which Viktor later concurs in the end with: _”There is no prize to perfection, only an end to pursuit.”_

And without Ekko there, everything would have ended up just like in Jayce's vision.

    What even more impressive, is that when ekko rewinds time he still has the damage he sustains from from his attempts, so he got barbecued from jinx’s bomb a few times and got clotheslined by viktors puppet and got right back up to dodge that arm a couple seconds back

    Ekko was genuinely one of the only characters who *never* strayed from his path, his intentions, his mind, and goals. Unlike Vi and Jinx, who had to conform to the harsh conditions and make hard desicions, Ekko always did it his way, and changed every unfair fight into his advantage. The Boy Savior.

    1:06 I like to think that the blue in the sky reminded him of powder and that gave him the strength to push forward.
    Ekko is honestly the most Alpha character I've ever seen.
    The man would give up his own dreams and joy without a second thought to save his world and his people.
    A true hero through and through
