"Hmph..." The Machine Herald hurumphed, arms crossed as he felt fingers gingerly sifting through his hair. "I really do not see the point of... this."

"Hold still, Viktor. Someone has to take care of what few organic parts you have left~"

"I ask that you be swift. I have work I must soon get back to."

Today, on November 5th, 2025, we mark the return of someone I thought forever lost to us. Viktor, The Machine Herald is back in League of Legends once again. And to mark this joyous occasion, I give you this wonderful artwork I commissioned from @noodleharp.bsky.social, who did an incredible job, bringing best boy to life, back when I needed a bit of self-indulgent Viktor art.

Honestly, Viktor being back as a skin is a small comfort, and it's not like I particularly care about League itself these days but it's a comfort all the same. Whoever at Riot pushed for this (cuz it sure as shit wasn't any of the execs), thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You have done an amazing job with the constraints you had to work with.
