Riot Games may revise the controversial Viktor visual and gameplay update (VGU) following significant fan backlash. The changes were intended to align the champion with his appearance in Arcane season two, but this decision has created a divide between traditional Viktor players and Arcane fans.

Co-founder Marc "Tryndamere" Merrill acknowledged issues with the update during a recent stream, specifically mentioning "not great skin execution" and confirmed they are reviewing Viktor's changes.

Key concerns from the community include:

• Loss of Viktor's larger physique in certain skins (notably Creator and Death Sworn)
• Deviation from the champion's established character design
• Prioritizing Arcane fans over long-term Viktor players

Riot has already implemented some adjustments, particularly to restore Viktor's larger appearance in affected skins, as confirmed by Riot Pabro on social media.

The development team now faces the challenge of balancing two distinct fan bases:

• Traditional Viktor players who prefer the original design
• Arcane viewers who connect with the show's version of the character

These changes will continue to be monitored and adjusted based on community feedback as Riot works to satisfy both groups of players.
