I'm so disappointed with the skins. They are either redesigned to be "the same skin but lanky". The biggest disappointments are Deathsworn and Prototype
I mean, it's not surprising at all, his sillouette was barely changed so the only thing they had to do with the skins was to adjust them to his new body type
Most of Viktor's old skins had the bulky pauldron to support the claw on his shoulder. With the claw moved to his spine, removing the pauldron on most of his skins makes sense and makes High Noon look particularly off for keeping it.
I say this as a former Viktor before I quit league so my opinion doesn't hold a lot of water. I'm genuinely gonna miss the old Viktor. I do like some things like his physique on his base skin or his voice lines but I don't like the bright colors, they should be more desaturated. I'm also not a fan of the hair which is something I always mixed about on old Viktor. Edited for grammar
I am a viktor main and after seeing this, it is better than I was expecting, but I still feel like viktor is missing that mechanical look. My opinion is to redesign the face to look like his original (sorry, I really don’t like the alien split face) and keep the same thin body physique but bulk him up with machine parts and attachments around him. If those changes were made, i would be more open to the new design.
Deathsworn is COMPLETELY UNFINISHED! Viktor mains are so sad, this skin even with its flaws was my single favorite skin in the game. It’s completely gone now and replaced with that unfinished thing. They removed VFX from the skin, and made it a 750/975. It’s ok to change the price and charge more for the upgraded skins but you leave the same price on the downgraded ones. So sad.
Victor VGU was a mistake. Almost all his skins are a massive downgrade, and his new aesthetic and theme are too different to his old design. Now that he's a twink, he has no aura or intimidation factor what so ever
I agree with much of what you said but the lack of intimidation factor is simply false. He was awe inspiring in act 3 of Arcane the in game version simply doesn’t do him enough justice.
You're really missing the point here about why he's a twink it feels like. He's a scrawny twink and always has been weak so why wouldn't he believe in the glorious evolution of surpassing his original limits? Also I genuinely don't get how he's not intimidating with those voice lines.
I like robot Viktor and prefer Arcane Viktor but you're right. His kit is the same and doesn't fit the new Viktors abilities in the show His skins are lackluster No original skin for fans of the old Viktor The models doesn't do Arcane Viktor actual justice (it just doesn't feel nearly as awe inducing) Wrong voice actor Just a complete and utter fumble, can't belive this company makes like a billion a year lmfao
i just want to point out that humans naturally have abs guys. And when people slim down, especially he way this new viktor does, the abs will naturally pop out
To comment on the Viktor changes as someone who adores previous Viktor: The new one isn't TERRIBLE. But it's not what I like about Viktor. Sure, he has a new physique that fits well for the base skin, but all of his reworked skins look I could snap him in half with a little effort, Creator and PsyOps especially. Deathsworn and High Noon got straight gutted, removing the most eye-catching parts of the skin for... pink hood and purple vest. The new VFX on his abilities are also MUCH harder to see as someone who is red/green colorblind, even with the colorblind options turned on, and I think they will be especially bad on the Howling Abyss. Finally, he just doesn't feel mechanical enough. This is a gripe best saved for the VGU and redesign as a whole, which again, is objectively more modern and is therefore better. However, this is yet another instance like Skarner's rework where they have completely stepped away from everything the champion was before. Don't get me wrong, Skarner was BAD before, but we could have kept his themes the same at the very least. Personally, I think a better example is the Udyr rework. He was pushed into a more modern position, but the changes to his kit (in Viktor's case, the base design/themes) pushed away a loyal, dedicated following who lost a champion they loved dearly.
nah he is more mage with metal things than cyborg older Viktor is evil cyborg and rocks but new one is Twink mage metalomancy doesnt looks robotic enough even if has a claw and doesnt look "glorious" maybe needs more details
Absolute a pile of trash, i can understand the VGU i can understand ARCANE IS CANON i cant not take the "HEIMER HEIMER SKIN" the Warwick metal are FOR SELL and then Viktor and Singed are for free because yey also the Jinx skin man, is worst than Miss F. Space bounty and cost much less than $250 XDD is over
He really isn't the machine herald anymore. He isn't even a machine. Now he's honestly reads as just a mage and that really sucks. Like all anyone thought viktor's design was supposed to be is "three arms and a mask"
i think they made the SAVIOUR skin first then the VGU if you think about his design looks messy, the hair doesnt look like Arcane or the old model xD looks like Milo the hips MAN wtf
i lit bought the prototype viktor before the rework, thought it would be a skin matching viktor's appearence before havin his final form. since the name is prototype. Big L from Riot there
Base model of Viktor is really GOOD, i love the amount of quality they made with it. But the skins rework are just all downgrades, all of them just looks weird.
my only take is to just tone down the brightness in the colors- he's just way too bright imo, that and the classic's hair needs to be closer to the splashart at least- prototype needs to also just have an overhaul-
God - I hate the Viktor rework with a burning passion. I know NickyBoi likes the cosmic horror vibe, but honestly I feel like they could have gone further with it if he had multiple arms, cosmic/stars in the gravity field, etc. As is, it just feels like a cheap cash in to get Arcane fans interested in League, only for them to be confused why Viktor's gameplay aligns so poorly with his theme and design. This is the first rework I've ever seen Riot create that I LEGITIMATELY hope they cancel or delay for more polish or changes. It is so poorly done, and is easily one of their worst VGUs to date.
I'm so disappointed with the skins. They are either redesigned to be "the same skin but lanky". The biggest disappointments are Deathsworn and Prototype
they took away too much detail in the skins and its looks lik esomeone has a spotlight on him he was a lot more purple in the show
If they didn’t do that to be fair, ppl would cry that their old viktor was gone, I’ve alr seen it happening so much on twit
I mean, it's not surprising at all, his sillouette was barely changed so the only thing they had to do with the skins was to adjust them to his new body type
Creator Viktor more like Twinkator Viktor
is like a Jhin cosplay i think modders could made all the Viktor skins into Jhin xD
Most of Viktor's old skins had the bulky pauldron to support the claw on his shoulder. With the claw moved to his spine, removing the pauldron on most of his skins makes sense and makes High Noon look particularly off for keeping it.

You say this as an attention seeker lets be honest.
@@spaceranger Isn't everyone an attention seeker when they give their opinion?

If those changes were made, i would be more open to the new design.
I think the funny thing is that they left the mechanical parts and looked for something different.
Change the hairstyle looks like Milo LMAO
and the . . . hips looks more female INGAME than the art xDD damn twinks

As a battlecast viktor fan: the new version is ass compared to the priginal design
As a man who doesn't play viktor, the priginal design and the new design were just kinda always ass
but hey, this is what pbe is for, right?

They killed Viktor...
i just want to point out that humans naturally have abs guys. And when people slim down, especially he way this new viktor does, the abs will naturally pop out
Plus, he has the physique of serveral representations of Christ
ok but why has more hips than torso
is mewtwo or a girl xD
the heimer skin looks like one of those dogs with eerily human faces

I love Viktor’s current body type, it really helps differentiate him from the 57 buff guys that are typically in league.
doesnt look menacing, Jhin it is and is a body type similar
NAH Viktor is pure fanservice with zero thoughts about design, like the hair xD
Hexcore sounds really... voidy...
The Glorious Feevolution
1:33:52 it's not a bug, it's a reference to anomaly from hextech time travel.
I miss his flowy jesus hair ( its even in the splash for his base skin btw )
The in game model is better than the splash art, still miss the old Viktor tho
they massecred the one good skin i had for viktor (creator). I hope they tweak that desing before final release
I feel insane for thinking this but doesn't this Viktor just sells the fantasy and the concept of the older one better?
nah he is more mage with metal things than cyborg
older Viktor is evil cyborg and rocks but new one is Twink mage metalomancy doesnt looks robotic enough even if has a claw and doesnt look "glorious" maybe needs more details
Creator and Deathsworn got ruined
Okay I think I finally want to ask, when did the "entry fee" thing start? I don't get it
Absolute a pile of trash, i can understand the VGU i can understand ARCANE IS CANON
i cant not take the "HEIMER HEIMER SKIN" the Warwick metal are FOR SELL and then Viktor and Singed are for free because yey
also the Jinx skin man, is worst than Miss F. Space bounty and cost much less than $250 XDD
is over
Well as someone who doesnt own a viktor skin this is a w
So will we never see your thoughts on AS Jayce?
He really isn't the machine herald anymore. He isn't even a machine. Now he's honestly reads as just a mage and that really sucks. Like all anyone thought viktor's design was supposed to be is "three arms and a mask"
This. This so much.
i think they made the SAVIOUR skin first then the VGU if you think about
his design looks messy, the hair doesnt look like Arcane or the old model xD looks like Milo
the hips MAN wtf
i lit bought the prototype viktor before the rework, thought it would be a skin matching viktor's appearence before havin his final form. since the name is prototype. Big L from Riot there
Base model of Viktor is really GOOD, i love the amount of quality they made with it.
But the skins rework are just all downgrades, all of them just looks weird.
Rest in Pieces Machine Herald
my only take is to just tone down the brightness in the colors- he's just way too bright imo, that and the classic's hair needs to be closer to the splashart at least- prototype needs to also just have an overhaul-
God - I hate the Viktor rework with a burning passion.

Ngl this is not a vgu this is a asu with a gameplay tweak. Vgu's fix bad skins, Asu's mostly just updates them which is what this looks like.
Me I am the single human being that used that skin , man they did a number on it
Not eworking his kit and making most his skins look worse. This is prolly up there as one of the worse things riot has done.
Pls bring back muscles on viktor. We liked when he wasn’t emaciated.
Death Sworn is so bad, I want a refund for owning the skin not even joking
Genuine disappointment with Viktor Rework, they took away my machine herald.
The one change in the abilities is the closest thing to a positive change in this rework. The new look is so bad.
Nicky contact rito and just give them the cassio idea
garbage viktor rework
Ambatukam
blep
TH-cam fee
Blep 2
Am i the only one who thinks highnoon now looks like a woman
the skins are too bright
Pls bring back muscles on viktor. We liked when he wasn’t emaciated.
