Victor gets a new Arcane-style look in League of Legends rework

League of Legends fans first met Victor as a cybernetically enhanced human robot who had menacing remarks about glorious evolution and how all of humanity would eventually submit to his designs. This is a far cry from Victor, who appeared in Secreta Netflix adaptation set in Piltover and Zaun. To make things a little less confusing, Riot is giving Victor an art and sustainability update to better suit Secret knowledge.

The new Victor, announced in a Riot trailer on Tuesday, is much less menacing and menacing. Instead, his championship trailer shows him wandering through a bizarre landscape of shadows and stars and pontificating on the fallibility of human nature. This transitions into its new gameplay, which is much the same as its original version. One nice upgrade is that his ultimate ability increases every time he kills an enemy champion, allowing him to cover the battlefield with a powerful death storm. We don’t yet know when the new Victor will appear in the game.

I’ll always miss the original Victor with his over-the-top accent and his obsession with robot evolution, but the new Victor is simply amazing. His raised waist and stately gait give the character a certain gravitas, and the new voice acting is much more restrained and dignified than its predecessor. His new face doesn’t quite match Victor’s portrayal in Secret; Instead of two faces superimposed on each other, Victor’s new in-game model looks more like an ornate metal mask. Victor is also going to join the lineup Wild Riftwhich is the mobile version League of Legends. The rest Secretthe cast is already part Wild Riftincluding the latest champion Ambessa release.

League of Legends players who used Victor as main characters are less impressed by the remake; The front page of Victor’s main subreddit is full of negative comments. Riot has previously changed the appearance of champions based on fan feedback, such as making changes to Smolder’s face after the baby dragon started to look a little uncanny. We’ll probably see a few more changes to Victor before his new look hits the game. In terms of lore, it’s nice to see a step towards a consistent story with Secretbut there is still some controversy in the biographies of champions like Caitlin and Jace. At the very least, this is one step towards a more unified canon.
