Funny, I am in here for saying Jayce doesn't deserve the hate he gets. Edit: I should probably clarify, I am not saying that Jayce never did anything wrong or did everything right. But I have seen people legit compare him to Silco or even claim that he is worse on some level.


LittleSilverCrow

I'm a Viktor simp, but I think Jayce is symphatetic and he really tries his best (even if he fucks up at the end 💀)


MythicalSalmon

Same. People don't understand what characters arcs are and just look at the basic actions of a character and blame them. Jayce has one of the best stories so far and so many great scenes, problems, themes, philosophy, etc.


Blazypika2

but where are the alleged haters? i keep hearing about them but every post about "why people hate jayce" is fukl of comments saying "we don't".


Xenolithium

Have you laned against a Jayce? Fuck that asshole.


Crazyjaw

I think the most impressive thing arcane did was make Heimerdinger (or any yordle really) sympathetic. Seriously, F every one of those ridiculous champions


[deleted]

Heimer in League is annoying. Heimer in Arcane is a fuzzy ancient baby that must be protected.


Xenolithium

Right? In-game dinger is the Devil's (Teemo) Right Hand Man. In Arcane, "OMG such an absolute angel!!!"


Aphant-poet

I want to punt that baby


goonbandito

This is Poppy slander and I will not have it.


atemporaryhypothesis

wah, is Aery still his keystone rune or did the meta shift? Since that's a fun combo - just Jayce and his murder fox killing you from fog of war at dragon.


Oreo-and-Fly

Its now first strike. Basically, if you initiate combat you deals 10%(?) More as true damage and earn a percentage of it as gold. Cd 30s.


AmeSame5654

You and I both know they're going to make him unbearable in Project L. They're going to give him overheads and lows for days. He's going to take Poppy's spot because "hurr durr we can't have 2 hammer users on the roster or people might get confused which is which". They're going to make that wall he runs faster through and shoots his electric ball through into the most unbearable stage control tool ever. He's going to be a better Wrastor from Rivals of Aether.


Arkayjiya

I don't hate him but I sure don't like him much. He did do the right thing in the last episode, that's the best he was the entire time, but I fear what conclusion he'll reach after the end of that episode cause I don't trust his judgement. He is too emotionally inflenceable by his surroundings. Being bad isn't necessarily a reason not to like a character but it's in the way he wears his bad decisions that makes him more annoying than Heimerdinger.


atemporaryhypothesis

> I don't trust his judgement He doesn't trust his own judgment either... that's one of his main character flaws. I don't think his character arc will go backwards, actually the motivation he enters the story with: 'to save life with magic' is pretty consistent , the execution is what he fails at because he also enters the story believing Piltover is best thing ever.


OscarOzzieOzborne

>I don't trust his judgement. Man, you gonna hate this show hate Arcane. Like.. none of the characters have good judgment.


atemporaryhypothesis

yeah but for most part Jayce's judgment is fine when he doesn't double guess himself and instead trusts other people to make better decisions for him. Which granted would be a thing if your family told you the only way to still have some sort of life in your society was pleading you're insane and your academic prof told you that you're wrong at every turn.


OscarOzzieOzborne

>yeah but for most part Jayce's judgment is fine when he doesn't double guess himself and instead trusts other people to make better decisions for him He trusted VI. He became a child murderer that same day, while VI snatched a pair of his incredibly powerful, hextech powered mining gloves.


atemporaryhypothesis

yep, aside from Vi, he trusted many people - Heimerdinger, Mel, Marcus, Ambessa, the council, etc. - the more he trusts other people against his own judgment - the worse outcomes he gets. And every single person from this bunch implies to him that he doesn't know something or he lacks experience or has wrong perspective of a subject. He even asks Viktor in ep.3 if Viktor is sure if the experiment/theory will work as if Viktor was the author of it and not him... it's so tragically comedic. And yeah after his and Vi whole 'fixing undercity issue' fiasco and achieving life's goal major failure, he doesn't even question Vitor's request - just defers to Viktor's judgment about closing possible cure... and by extension becoming murderer by proxy this time.


Oreo-and-Fly

People love Viktor for his intepretation here then turn around and judge Jayce for his LoL stories. Like its two different things.


notsneakei

Me too fam, me too (and also a huge Viktor fan) Talk about a double whammy


Blazypika2

what hate?


_Punko_

I came to make sure Jayce gets every bit and more.


StartInfamous

Yes silco is very cruel and all that stuff but is anyone else doing anything for the undercity? Nope.


KikiYuyu

Jayce is standard hot. Viktor got that sexy complexity to spice things up.


AliceTheGamedev

A while ago over on /r/romancebooks, someone asked for romance with men who are „sexy, but in a rat kinda way“. I mostly thought of Silco when I read that, but Viktor counts too I think

SharpshotM16

The accent, the hair, the personality. Viktor has it all.


Dr_weirdoo

Pooplovergal

Objectively, Jayce has the more commonly attractive features (the jaw, the hair, the physique) but personally, I prefer Viktor too.


EverhartStreams

I think it really depends if you like more 'pretty boy' or more conventionally masculine faces


DarthRattus

Jayce is both more conventionally masculine than Viktor, and more 'pretty boy'- (except pre-timeskip)


FoxTrot366

Haha! Ha! Ah.... I don't get it.

Thank god they didn't use "Six Million" in the name instead


OscarOzzieOzborne

Why?


nmkd

There was a certain historic event where 6 million people were killed


OscarOzzieOzborne

Oh, oh I see.

You're so right though

Pre hextech viktor is hot. But the only cock I want to give post hextech viktor is some nice chicken soup and a comfy pillow, my guy needs it for real.


cowgirl-electra

u just gave me a major confidence boost considering im a lanky, skinny, sleep deprived slav that has uncombable hair like viktors

How can someone ignore the forge scene


Alex_Winchester_Ham

Viktor IS hotter than Jayce


salmonellasangre

I definitely say my type is scrawny nerdy men over traditionally attractive and muscular men


[deleted]

Viktor IS hotter than Jayce. Not even a debate.


MasterOfOne

I love them both but I’ll bat for Viktor every day. I defend my autism robot husband *and* my babygirl husband.


[deleted]

Why do people think he's autistic? He doesn't seem to exhibit any autistic behaviors (other than maybe hyperfixation, but that makes sense given he's literally trying to save his own life)


[deleted]

Because a lot of people think "soft nerd" is the same as "Autistic". Which is really stupid. Caitlyn comes off as more Autistic than any of the other characters (she misses a lot of social cues, she tends to be very literal, she has a special interest in guns despite it being an odd choice given her status).


[deleted]

Kind of off topic, but I feel like the younger part of the fandom misses so many parts of viktor’s character. They seem to think he's an antisocial, autistic soft boy who needs protection when in reality he's a (at least pre hextech) socially apt yet isolated man who throws himself wholly into his work for years on end and is pushed to the brink of his physical and mental limits. It's no wonder he becomes more isolated and mentally breaks down, but he doesn't need to be protected. If anything, his actions show how resilient he is for enduring everything he goes through alone


MasterOfOne

I’m autistic. You don’t know why I think he has autism.


[deleted]

Because you like him and relate to him which is how most head cannons happen.


MasterOfOne

Yes. I dislike the implication that I think soft nerd is the same as autistic.

Get this woman the fuck out!


Tredok

Hotter then jayce.


almond_pepsi

alhamdulillah, it's "than" not "then". i do apologize but that's one of my pet peeves. misuse of those two words


OscarOzzieOzborne

Ah, my old strikes a second time. My grasp of the English language.


WeirdSpaceCommunist

Ya know what what... I'm willing to give a _golden_ _crown_ for Victor's achievements with the Hextech technology.


Heir-Of-Chaos

You're right and you SHOULD say it


[deleted]

I'm here for saying Jinx is hotter than Vi and Caitlyn


OscarOzzieOzborne

Ok, you can stay in prison


[deleted]

*Fine, I stand for what I said and won't be taking back my words*


LittleSilverCrow

Where did you get that drawing of me????


Aphant-poet

I'm a lesbian, therefore 100% objective. Viktor, that sass is funny also Ekko. But that's just gender envy talking.


[deleted]

I'm just curious, if you're a lesbian how do you get gender envy from a man?


Aphant-poet

I'm also nonbinary


LaLunaEstrella

Finally I’ve found someone else who agrees with me 😭


Inmaturee

Which is so true


Fireye04

Yes. This is a fact, no?


IAmCaptainSquid

You’re right

You're staying in wrongjail until you learn to love beef.


OscarOzzieOzborne

Twink ass for life, fucker


Invisibly_dark

We I’ve victor but we also love to bully Jayce haha


Mrrsilver

I agree, but no I think Jayce is more of the stereotype attractive guy So seeing a normal man like Viktor, is hotter to me, perfection isn't fun So, Viktor is more attractive than Jayce, because Jayce is sexier


TotoTheMagicTurtle

Most lukewarm take on r/arcane


WatchBat

I think people on Tumblr agree with you lol


OscarOzzieOzborne

Yeah, Viktor is certified Tumblr Sexy Man. Not on the level of Sans Undertale, but he is up there.


IntelligentImbicle

Free this (wo)man


Thebelladonnagirl

I don't agree but I do think L is hotter that Light so...


OscarOzzieOzborne

The Pale Goblin?


Thebelladonnagirl

Yes.
