*it's the last moments of Arcane 2, everyone is crying on their seats of the emotions, Viktor looks at the viewer, and breaking the fourth wall says "there will not be a Viktor VGU in 2024 (sorry Nickyboi)"*
@@namenight7158 Oh no, I love VGUs but specifically hate the idea for Singed. His gameplay is fun af and iconic. Its legit one of the more unique playstyles in the game and I wanna keep that.
VGU usually updates the gameplay aswell. Honestly, neither Viktor nor Orianna feel like their kit could use more. We could argue that they aren't that popular, especially Viktor, but they still have pretty solid kits. I personally love Viktor's kit a lot, so it would be a shame if something got completely changed. An ASU is more than enough for him, especially since there are some other champs from Arcane who could use a gameplay and visual update (Singed for example). Even if he is the one getting the VGU, I really hope they will only touch the W and the ult
Watch it be: Viktor dies early in season 2, Singed goes insane trying to resurrect him and morphs him into current Viktor, Singed turns into his insane current form, and the actual VGU is emo Vi.
Assuming it is Viktor, my main worry from a character standpoint is that Arcane suggests that the hexcore has a mind of its own, which is a cool concept, I just hope it doesn’t take away from it ultimately being Viktor’s choice to transform himself.
idk tho, having him be controlled by the hex/voidcore would introduce a lot of thematics. His story would tell of a man trying to better himself and the world around him by tampering with magic he could never understand and ultimately being consumed by forces he never comprehended. One thing I hate in stories is when a run of the mill human character somehow overcomes the effects of some all powerful force like the Void. If you ask me, turning Viktor into a tragic character that falls to his own naïvety and becomes this point of conflict for the rest of the characters like Heimer and Jayce is really interesting. Just a thought tho
@@JoaquinThomasSantillanRo-fz5mhNot fully, part of the tragedy is that Viktor errr I don’t know how to avoid spoiler without read more so I’m gambling here. Viktor did not actually choose this, Jayce ended up choosing for him. Both times technically (though it looks like Singed is getting partial credit for the latest evolution)! He is trying to deal with his circumstances best he can and despite everything still trying to help people.
After watching (at least through act 2) Arcane Season 2, it's INSANE how correct you are about Viktor's new characterization at 7:18. You were LITERALLY on the dot about his character progression.
Nickyboi: “Yes, I convinced them that viktor is getting the VGU” ???: “Good.” *Andrei van roon steps out of the shadows Andrei van roon: “Now nobody will expect the cho’gath starring role in arcane season 2”
As a long time Viktor main, I am both excited and terrified for this rework. As much as I love Arcane Viktor, I fear that the rework will erase a core part of classic Viktor's identity. If they keep his robotic design and add a void like flair to it, I think it will be peak. I also hope they don't revert to the hexcore item because it was way harder to build items with one of my inventory slots permanently in use.
I actually miss the hexcore item. Yeah, it made builds awkward at times, but it was fun and unique. At the very least, it was way more fun to upgrade the item and your abilities than just kill x things.
@@SailorCinnaMoon He did have a decent following. Hardcore transhumanists appreciated his "glorious evolutionist" bit, and general zaun fans saw him as basically the one scientist in Zaun, besides Ekko, who had a decent moral compass, albeit in a more cold, calculating way that was more likely to succeed. And post-Arcane, a decent number of folks saw him as basically the third "father" of Zaun.
Be him or not... He's the character of the Arcane series i would prefer the most to receive this touch up. I'm in fucking love with Arcane Viktors story and so excited to see how the series will portray his "GLORIOUS ROBOLUTION!"
I think if anything his Jesus form will be the Legendary skin, since his main looks will remain similar to what he already has (source: the obscured figure behind Viktor in some concept art they showed us once and the Unicorno collab of all things)
I think it's most likely going to be Viktor, especially now that we know from Act 2. Part of me mourns his old lore because that's the one I fell in love with (Jayce and Viktor had an iconic dynamic in it, such a shame they had pretty much no interactions anywhere else). Also Viktor turned out to have a much bigger impact than we expected. So I think it only makes sense for him to get the VGU. I'll miss the old Viktor if it's the case but at the same time I'm excited for him to finally get proper content, updated voicelines and finally some Jayce interactions. Oh, I also suspect Jayce's new legendary skin will have voicelines with Viktor as well, whether it's Viktor's VGU or if just the skin if he just gets a skin. Also man sucks how little merch there is with Arcane Viktor since he's a walking spoiler, my man finally gets some popularity and I still can't buy knicknacks of him outside of Etsy lol. Edit: Oh, what probably possibly contradicts him getting a VGU is that he got an emote in League recently that's still pretty much his old design. Also to everybody worrying about how he will look like, there is kind of a leak in the form of... Leaked photos of the Unicorno Tokidoki collab. So he's a horse figure in it, lol. And he looks fairly close to his LoL design with some differences (of course not much we can tell from a simplified horse design though).
I personally think it'll be victor, with his new base form being an augmented half-void half-mechanical person that he will be turned into by Singed. Singed even told him "The mutation must survive" in the 6th episode, calling him the perfect specimen for hex tech. I think Singed will turn the dying victor into a mechanical person, which will be the new canon victor VGU. Then, i think the legendary will be Victor as void jesus from the first 2 acts in season 2, maybe with the porcelain mask we see in the opening.
One thing I'm afraid of with Viktor's VGU being involved with the void is that he might end up having too much overlap with what Malzahar already has, just with a robotic twist. Malzahar only has like one thing to him 😔
@schnader That's not it, I shouldve clarified more. I meant in the way that (if they go in the void direction for the VGU) Malzahar and Viktor would both be sort-of cultish figures corrupted by the void in some way and bringing it upon other people. Kai'sa does not have that concept.
@@kaonreal The big difference will most likely be Viktor finding a way to control the void magic infused with hextech, instead of being mind-controlled by it like Malzahar. The concept might be similar, but the execution will be way more different.
I can see Viktors "Machine-Revolution" to be like his personal counter-measure against the all consuming void. Stopping his own Shimmer induced 'Voidification' and betting on Metal not being that tasty
I'm pretty certain that the VGU is going to be for Viktor, and I think the biggest reason why is just because they've been hiding him in all of the promotional material for S2. Why would they avoid showing one of their breakout characters to promote the show if merely showing what he looks like in S2 will spoil things? If he wasn't getting a VGU, then they'd just be hiding him to avoid showing that he becomes what he looks llke in League, but League players already know what he looks like. It'd be keeping a secret that everyone knows. The only reason I think that they'd be keeping his design a secret is because significant to more than just the show. I also think that Viktor really could use a VGU for his gameplay as well. I play Viktor sometimes, and let's be real, his gameplay isn't all that special. Sure he's got some cool stuff, namely his evolving passive and his E laser, but that's pretty much it in terms of gameplay identity. Everything else is pretty meh. His Q? He throws a boomerang at people, a weird choice for him. His W? It's a unique AoE stun, but way too clunky to work on anyone with good mobility. His ult? Good damage and low cooldown, but why is a guy who's whole identity is machines summoning a big cloud to zap people? There's a lot more interesting directions to take Viktor, so I'd welcome an overhaul to his kit to really sell him as the "Master of Machines" that he's supposed to be.
for the first paragraph--it's not just him being hidden. jayce and mel haven't appeared in much promotional material either. it's more likely riot keeping their fates a secret since they were all in the big explosion at the end of S1. to anyone who only watches arcane w/ no knowledge of league lore, they don't know that jayce and viktor's storyline keeps going, thus revealing if they're dead/alive removes a lot of suspense for s2.
Hey um 9:00, LOR got an entire PVE mode with choices and narratives that told the stories relating to (The now no longer cannon versions of) Ekko, Jace, Jinx, and VI. That PVE mode would go on to become the Path of Champions, LOR's biggest splash and currently the only thing the team is investing resources into, because it was that good. It all started with this Arcane inspired game mode, and now were getting POC exclusive champions in the next patch... First of ten END OF MEN
I honestly was expecting it to be Viktor especially because of the shadowy figure in the trailer. My assumption was that is him, kinda fits the way his evolving was working aesthetically in season 1.
lux only needs an asu i cannot stand her clunky ass animations, annoying voicelines, and weird looking splash 😩 i hope its really gonna be viktor (i main both anyway)
I'm more terrified, I've been a Viktor main and I didn't like the removal of his item. I really feel like they'll ruin his hybrid of burst mage and control mage. I feel like they'll lean more into the control mage aspect of him.
It will be Victor. Check out the wild rift 5.3 patch preview video. The third champion that is releasing is concealed for the first time ever. They likely don't want to spoil arcane or the VGU in League. Since we already have singed and orianna, that leaves Victor
After seeing Arcane Season 2 Ep 6, I'm 99% sure you're correct and it will be Viktor. I feel like there's almost no way it's not. If it is someone else, I will be very surprised.
One flaw, viktor in lore wants to use HEXTECH to help fix people. Even in older lore hextech was deemed controversial because it relied on magic not just technology.
I think the issue is that we know a third Arcane champion is coming to Wild Rift after Heimerdinger and Ambessa, and Orianna’s already in the game. They COULD be referring to a Wild Rift VGU for Orianna and not a full champion release but I kinda doubt it.
@@arowyn.m thats the correct quote mr. kaiser25 was trying to use. But he can’t read so he made up a sentence that was never stated by any of the rioters
I feel like it totally could be leblanc. It makes sense why they said it would be a spolier, cause we had no idea the black rose was going to be involved. I ALSO makes sense after the ambessa release because it turns out they are extremely connected!!
I'm a Viktor main. I AM EXCITED! I picked him up a year or 2 before S1 Arcane and feel in love with him, I miss the hexcore item. But I was so happy they brought Viktor to light in arcane. But I am worried what a possible rework could be because I love his kit, as a meme I build full speed gimme dat, lich bane, cosmic drive and phase rush and I'll be in Australia within the hour. But that being less I am no less excited for the brand new GLORIOUS EVOLUTION!
Watching the video now after act 2 release, the shot of Nicky thinking its victor but it actually being jayce is funny. Literally no appearance of victor, more grounds for a victor rework :)
After seeing episode 6 of season 2 .... spoilers Orianna could totally be rework, but it's hard to tell all of these characters are in limbo after episode 6. We will have to see.
SPOILERS BELOW FOR SEASON 2 I’m from the future and it’s insane you caught that Leblanc detail and then once the season is released it’s revealed the black rose has been apart of this story since season 1. So bc of that, I think Leblanc is back on the table as a huge contender for the vgu, along with Viktor still. We only have up to episode 3 rn so what I’m saying could age horribly but Leblanc is in the game now and heck she might even have an appearance in the show. We could have some sort of “Arcane Prophet Viktor” skin down the line but something tells me that he’s gonna transform even more than his iteration in episode 2. Anyway though, this video could either age insanely well or only a little bit, cause that Leblanc prediction was still wild. Time will tell.
I mean to be fair, as far as Arcane 2 is now, Viktor does seem to be going a slightly different direction from what he is now. Visually as well. I mean, he could still go the path to full on metal, but it seems like he's gonna be a more wild-magic form of a hex-cyborg
Im pretty sure its going to be Viktor since he didnt get an Arcane skin for both the first season and second season of the show. I believe he is not getting a skin because of 2 reason. First, there is no point in making a skin for a champion that is going to get a new model and also his appearance is already going to be based of how he will look in Arcane season 2.
Don't quote me on this, but I remember a Rioter mention that Singed is one of the few champions they believe to have perfect gameplay. If that still applies it would be too dumb to rework him.
Its prety simple and obvious that its Viktor. Everything just simply boils down to what a VGU is. A complete transformation. It makes sense when his full transformation happens in season 2, that it also does in LoL. I could go on and on for hours, but thats really it. It just makes sense. Herald of the Void.
Not a League player (way too old for this sh*t) but I’ve been watching League videos since Arcane is around the corner and I’ll say this video is great. Funny, fantastic skitzo editing. Love it. I’ll be hitting like and subscribe
Also, yeah Viktor is my favorite character from season one in a pantheon of great characters. Looking forward to seeing him become a main villain. Very tragic… I love that sh*t
I love it how I don't even watch Arcane or play LoL, but I'm still invested in this mystery. Excellent video as always, NickyBoi! May your prediction come true!
i mean Viktor is pretty drastically different after the first 3 eps even more so. He’s also like the god for the people fucked by shimmer so prolly Viktor
watching this after watching act 2, and while you might be right on some point, seeing how many wrongs you got is kinda funny 😂 (like saying the only scene we got of viktor is actualy jayce lmao)
Singed rework/redesign has always been a bit of a touchy topic since like Nickey said its 2 polar opposite designs. One way I believe they could update singed while keeping the playstyle is kind of capturing a moment for singed i believe specifically a raid on his lab. Rework could be the moment of the escape, singed frantically using all his research to escape. The poison trail is the materials leaking from the rush, the adhesive being some bottle to incapacitate guards, and the fling / ult being him using the chemical to strengthen his body given how weak he typically is. As for the shield you could even keep that since he has a large metal door in a similar shape leading into his lab that he could tear off and hold as protection in place of the shield
aged like the glorious evolution.
RIOT HQ be like:
"Yes Nicholas, divert the direction towards Viktor so no one expects for Corki to appear in Arcane and be the VGU"

@@20ali03who said this and where?? I’m trying to find the exact quote
@@arowyn.m thats the correct quote mr. kaiser25 was trying to use. But he can’t read so he made up a sentence that was never stated by any of the rioters
They called you a madman…
I feel like it totally could be leblanc. It makes sense why they said it would be a spolier, cause we had no idea the black rose was going to be involved. I ALSO makes sense after the ambessa release because it turns out they are extremely connected!!
I'm a Viktor main. I AM EXCITED! I picked him up a year or 2 before S1 Arcane and feel in love with him, I miss the hexcore item. But I was so happy they brought Viktor to light in arcane. But I am worried what a possible rework could be because I love his kit, as a meme I build full speed gimme dat, lich bane, cosmic drive and phase rush and I'll be in Australia within the hour. But that being less I am no less excited for the brand new GLORIOUS EVOLUTION!
It's extremely likely after the Aram teaser. Every PnZ champs were in there but no Viktor and WW.
@@Rhyolite-hyena ? viktor and ww were in the teaser
Mad lad actually pulled it off
8:39 JInx saving her sister from a female mosquito bite:
Watching the video now after act 2 release, the shot of Nicky thinking its victor but it actually being jayce is funny. Literally no appearance of victor, more grounds for a victor rework :)
crazy how accurate this was
After seeing episode 6 of season 2 .... spoilers
Orianna could totally be rework, but it's hard to tell all of these characters are in limbo after episode 6. We will have to see.
"Almost 100% supposed to be a shadowy vision of Silco", add that to the infinite list of Nickyboy being wrong
This aged like fine wine. Victor got much much MUCH more than a VGU
Man... I really regret wishing this was true now.
this aged very well
Congrats, you actually got it right
That edit with Viktor and "The Only Thing They Fear is You" is perfect. Truly glorious.
Bro had a vision💀
so...
turns out Corin Reveck is actually Singed in Arcane and Orianna's father
SPOILERS BELOW FOR SEASON 2
I’m from the future and it’s insane you caught that Leblanc detail and then once the season is released it’s revealed the black rose has been apart of this story since season 1. So bc of that, I think Leblanc is back on the table as a huge contender for the vgu, along with Viktor still. We only have up to episode 3 rn so what I’m saying could age horribly but Leblanc is in the game now and heck she might even have an appearance in the show. We could have some sort of “Arcane Prophet Viktor” skin down the line but something tells me that he’s gonna transform even more than his iteration in episode 2. Anyway though, this video could either age insanely well or only a little bit, cause that Leblanc prediction was still wild. Time will tell.
I mean to be fair, as far as Arcane 2 is now, Viktor does seem to be going a slightly different direction from what he is now. Visually as well. I mean, he could still go the path to full on metal, but it seems like he's gonna be a more wild-magic form of a hex-cyborg
Im pretty sure its going to be Viktor since he didnt get an Arcane skin for both the first season and second season of the show. I believe he is not getting a skin because of 2 reason. First, there is no point in making a skin for a champion that is going to get a new model and also his appearance is already going to be based of how he will look in Arcane season 2.
Don't quote me on this, but I remember a Rioter mention that Singed is one of the few champions they believe to have perfect gameplay. If that still applies it would be too dumb to rework him.
That aged like fine wine
oh hell yeah new big video this sun, will definitely be there. Love this channel man, your content brings so much joy to lil moments of my day
Seeing this after watching act 2... youre on to something
well, well, well.
Its prety simple and obvious that its Viktor. Everything just simply boils down to what a VGU is. A complete transformation. It makes sense when his full transformation happens in season 2, that it also does in LoL.
I could go on and on for hours, but thats really it. It just makes sense. Herald of the Void.
“A complete transformation” eh? You could say.. a glorious evolution..?
I adore Viktor's character from the bottom of my heart so I'm REALLY hoping it is him.
After seeing act 1 pretty confident its gonna be viktor guys
Oh boy... the thumbnail gives PTSD to ALL nicky's subscribers
This aged incredibly well
I take my words back nicky, you nailed it this time. Bravo
wasn't expecting random Sr Pelo cameo at 6:01
He uses that sound byte pretty frequently
Not a League player (way too old for this sh*t) but I’ve been watching League videos since Arcane is around the corner and I’ll say this video is great. Funny, fantastic skitzo editing. Love it. I’ll be hitting like and subscribe
Also, yeah Viktor is my favorite character from season one in a pantheon of great characters. Looking forward to seeing him become a main villain. Very tragic… I love that sh*t
Jokes on you, the true VGU will be... Vander dad bod Warwick!
but dad bod warwick already exists…. (his prestige 🤫🥴)
I love it how I don't even watch Arcane or play LoL, but I'm still invested in this mystery. Excellent video as always, NickyBoi! May your prediction come true!
Victor remake - simmer expansion on lore - void mentioned - void expansion (event ) - cho gath vgu
The long con baby
the dream is still alive 🙏
The Cho’gath VGU is real
All this got me hyped for was Viktor in PoC on LoR because that is the most likely thing to happen
So this video literally just came to my timeline after act 3. You probably already got the News, but damn if you weren't spot on
I come from the future and this theory is getting real pals
i mean Viktor is pretty drastically different after the first 3 eps even more so. He’s also like the god for the people fucked by shimmer so prolly Viktor
I love this kind of videos, all the effort this video it's amazing, thanks for the content Nicky
and it was viktor after all....
The Herald has spoken and with it came truth. Viktor rework just got revealed.
Well I think after the first 3 episodes of season 2 Arcane, you are very much correct
This is great, and very well supported!!
This crazy man was rigth.
Bro was finally right it was Viktor all along.
1:09 A Wild Rarity appears! 10/10
Heck yes X3
watching this after watching act 2, and while you might be right on some point, seeing how many wrongs you got is kinda funny 😂 (like saying the only scene we got of viktor is actualy jayce lmao)
Singed rework/redesign has always been a bit of a touchy topic since like Nickey said its 2 polar opposite designs. One way I believe they could update singed while keeping the playstyle is kind of capturing a moment for singed i believe specifically a raid on his lab. Rework could be the moment of the escape, singed frantically using all his research to escape. The poison trail is the materials leaking from the rush, the adhesive being some bottle to incapacitate guards, and the fling / ult being him using the chemical to strengthen his body given how weak he typically is. As for the shield you could even keep that since he has a large metal door in a similar shape leading into his lab that he could tear off and hold as protection in place of the shield
Oh. I like this idea. Singed has burnt so many bridges through his war crimes that he's always running away from his enemies.
I can’t wait to play as Jesus himself in a couple of weeks.
