Viktor, who comes from Zaun, starts as an outsider. But at the same time, viewers understand where this pressure comes from in seeing how Piltover, the City of Progress, works.
Jayce, for instance, ends up doing some terrible things in his dream of progress, and backstabs a few friends.

We also get to see a very different Viktor who is a frail young man, using a cane to get around. He doesn’t have his big hammer or the love of his city in fact, he very nearly succumbs to despair. Jayce is just a little guy, starting out. But when these characters show up in Arcane, we finally get to see their origin stories and dig deeper into their relationship. It’s a dynamic that’s never really had a chance to manifest in any meaningful way, beyond fans reading the champion biographies on the official League website. Jayce is arrogant, difficult to be around, and reckless. Viktor looks like the bad guy at first glance, but it turns out he has relatable motives and is actually quite kind about his mission. In League lore, these two are former friends, and they’re posed as enemies. He’s fully invested in the idea of transcending flesh to become a glorious machine - which, honestly, big mood - and he’s not willing to let people hold him back out of fear and mistrust. There’s very little of him left that’s biological, and a third arm is grafted onto his back, which he uses to shoot lasers at people. His contrast is Viktor, who in League of Legends has ascended into being a full-on machine man.
He’s dashing, handsome, and wields a massive technological hammer that can seamlessly swap between a melee weapon and a ranged arcane plasma cannon. He’s a genius crafter who is well-liked by everyone around him. In League of Legends, Jayce is the closest character the setting has to a superhero. But the show also does a lot to highlight two lesser-known champions, Jayce and Viktor, and they’re the best part of the whole story, so far - with a ton of fan art to prove it. Jinx and Vi are the focal points of the series, and two of the most popular champions from League of Legends, so it makes sense that they’ve gotten the majority of the spotlight. It focuses on two sisters and their disrupted bond, set against an uprising from the undercity of Zaun against the gilded elite of Piltover.
Riot’s Netflix series Arcane is a surprisingly great video game adaptation, and a breakout success.
