[@baval5]

Original lore Heimerdinger: I invented around 75% of the technology in Demacia, including specifically the magical streetlamps, what do you mean *your* Hextech Jayce?

[@SahilP2648]

@@baval5 so what we are seeing is the very beginning of the whole saga. This is before the council knows how magic can be used with items, before Powder becomes Jinx, before Vander becomes Warwick and before Singed becomes Singed. A lot of changes in the time gap which we will see in the second week of Arcane. Heimer's whole attitude will change once they know how to use the power of Arcane and he will start inventing stuff. So the lore isn't incorrect, you are just not taking the time jump into account.

@@SahilP2648 Exactly, Jinx is... well, Jinx here. In the latest episode she is still Powder.

Zaun is a faction all about technology and invention, and I love how the trailer demonstrates the core spirits of invention.

Love the progression. Heimer - energy source Jinx - rocket Ekko - monowheel skateboard Heimer - hoverboard With each iteration comes more stability. Jinx wanted some destructive power but instead got uncontrolled thrust. Ekko made it more stable by having it guided by a wheel, though it still had excess energy. Heimer then redirected that excess energy to give it lift and make it to an actual hoverboard.

Everyone saying Heimer stole the invention is missing the point. Ekko never "claimed" it, and Heimer never really "claimed" it either. It's showing that both sides have their geniuses and that together they could accomplish things they'd never be able to alone. Ekko improves on it, and then Heimer improves on it further. Ekko doesn't seem upset by his invention escaping him, and Heimer seems more excited by the fact that someone tinkered with it than he does angry. The real sad part is that both sides will never reconcile, so progress is half as fast as it could be.
