It's so difficult to go back and watch Jayce save Victor by offering him to the hexcore. It was reasonable because it saved his life, but it gave him the chance to take over all of the people in Zaun and Piltover too.

Jayce did say it wasn't easy to live up to principal when you are watching your best friend/ found family brother die all because you couldn't broker peace in time. The hardest part for me in that scene is watching Viktor just walk away and say goodbye I was like "What!?"

[@zentomania]

At the time, I think we were all rooting for it to work out-it felt like the right choice to save Viktor's life. But looking back with the benefit of hindsight and all the foreshadowing, it’s clear how complex and dangerous that decision really was. That’s what makes this show so incredible-it doesn’t just show you the consequences, it makes you wrestle with them too.

Viktor's pursuit of his dreams is similar to that of Griffith's. Both were willing to sacrifice their morality in the name of ambition.

[@zentomania]

You're absolutely right!!! Their willingness to sacrifice their morality in pursuit of their ambition speaks to something deeply rooted in the human condition: the drive to achieve greatness, no matter the cost. That is what makes both characters so compelling, they hold up a mirror to this dark aspect of humanity.
