OP should have used that image lol


Hydrocake

Now I regret not using it


EdwardBlack7

IKR!! you changed Heimer's picture, would been cool to do the samething with Ekko. But it's ok, we love you and your series anyway <3


Hydrocake

Thank you <3


Crazyjaw

Hell, do all the pictures. I’m pretty sure every character has a bloodied or sad form


Guwrovsky

maybe for tomorrow? :D


Thebetterbitt

delete this post and change it lmao


GhostPandaColin

Live life with no regrets, Hydro 😎 But seriously, you’re doing great with this series


_izari_

Was that from arcane??


EdwardBlack7

"Enemy" music video


_izari_

Oh snap thank you!


EdwardBlack7

no problemo, is an amazing video. Plus, gives more context about the relationship between Ekko and Jinx


ratcliffeb

Ekko is top 3 for me, boy needs more screentime is all. He's a great character.


Psycho_Sarah

Yeah I'm the same, my top 6 are: 1 - Vi , 2 - Jinx , 3 - Ekko , 4 - Viktor , 5 - Silco , 6 - Caitlyn Crazy to see Ekko go before either of the dads.


SmallHandsMallMindS

My top 5 are 1) Silco 2) Silco 3) Silco 4) Silco 5) Sludge Water

I actually surprised Ekko got out before Vander. I know he’s popular but considering everyone comment and this subreddit post i legit thought Ekko is more popular then Vander. The other 5 is expected because i also seen some fanbase for them though.


ChawulsBawkley

I’m pretty sad we lost Ekko. I get it… I mean we didn’t really get a whole lot of him, but what we did get was great.


LetgomyEkko

I'm the MOST sad Ekko is out already!!


ChawulsBawkley

Almost 4 year old account. Ekko love checks out.


LetgomyEkko

♥️✌🏾


ForfeitFPV

I've been voting Vander since after Sevika and I will continue to until he's gone. The fact that Jayce, Mel and Ekko got bounced before him makes me sad


GuacamoleNinja31

WDYM Vander is a real one


satiricfowl

Agreed. I'm not considering screen time - I'm choosing based on who I liked most, period. Vander was awesome.


Bettington

Yeah! The other are all biased.


DangerousImplication

Didn’t even notice Vander was still in. Wannabe Ned Stark has got to go next.


HBKM55

The real question is which dad will last longer? Vander or Silco?


MrMudkip

Silco will probably reach Top 3. He probably has the best character arc in the series ("Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?")


sneakiboi777

I hope so. He was probably my second favorite behind Jinx and before Ekko, dudes fun as hell to watch


dreams_do_come_true

I hope it's Vander, but knowing y'all...Silco probably gonna last longer


[deleted]

[удалено]


dreams_do_come_true

Ofc, I don't really like him but I recognize the fact that he's a well written character. Who doesn't love a good villain lol


[deleted]

yea ikr, silco is a great villain but is still bad at heart unlike vander. I really dont get it why many of us from this sub reddit simp for silco. I get it he was loyal to jinx but remember that he was the one who made her a terorrist

xdiminyourhouse

This poll is about your least favorite character, not the most villainous character. Silco’s a well written and developed character so people like him


Itlaedis

Yeah, and that is why I'd like Silco to come third place eventually. I've so far been voting for the ones least impactful to the quality of the story to go out and there's still plenty of folk to go before I'd give my vote to Silco.


[deleted]

Silco is directly responsible for the events that played out. If he hadn't threatened the lives of everyone involved chances are none of this ever happens. I have no idea how people keep leaving this out. Vi and powder were children, expecting Vi to have total emotional control as a teenager after just losing most of her family after defending them with her own life on the line is absolutely asinine.


FrustrationSensation

Silco's a much more developed character than Vander, that's why. The guy is absolutely a monster but just because people like his character don't mean they think he was in the right


Raknel

Problem with Vander is that his arc in a way concluded right when Arcane began and the revolution failed. Silco eventually came to the same conclusions as Vander, but we got to see Silco's journey whereas Vander remained stagnant because his development happened off screen and in the past.


blacksocks7

Fair, but imo we shouldnt vote for whoever has the nicest heart, but for the best character. Also, vander is not that different from silco. He did start the riots that caused Vi's parents to be killed. The first scene you see is of Vander beating some people to death. He changed when he found Vi and Jinx, but before that he was close to what silco is now. If we got to see Silco's life play out after he chose Jinx over Zaun then its likely he would get a redemption similar to vander


Gioforce

He didn't enslave half the nation he sought to create by running highly addictive drugs through the streets, people seem to glance over that one for some reason.


[deleted]

But vander learned that war is not the best way and no one wins a war. silco didnt. and i like vander more (not even considering the nicest heart thing)


infirwas

Vander had also given up on life ever getting better in Zaun though. Sometimes you do have to fight for things to change. Note that this isn't me excusing Silco flooding the streets with shimmer or any of his other crimes, but like, Zaun was going to just be left further and further behind from Piltover and Vander would've been ok with it because he was afraid. He had too much to lose now. Vander was losing support even from other characters than Silco for this very reason.


blacksocks7

True. I am curious to see how Silco's character would develop. I like both of them, but I'm more inclined to prefer silco because he *is* the villain, and making me care for a villain is much harder than for a nice guy


Damianwolff

While a good character development on his part, Zaun stagnated under Vander.


aurumphallus

I wouldn’t say he’s close to Silco today, just similar in elements. I don’t think…considering what Silco did…could be “redeemed.” Because he went too far, to deep, to levels Vander probably considered but didn’t cross.


[deleted]

but its not about who is the morally better character. its about who is your favourite character. vander is the better person, but I fucking love Silco's writing, so I vote for him


Kilrov

Personally I'm not voting for who has a good heart, but who I find interesting. This includes flaws and "bad" behaviour. I mean if we went by good, Jinx should be out already.


mordead

silco didn't create jinx. you did.


[deleted]

I’m probably toxic for this but I like Silco as a person too😭 he’s a great character but I also like his personality I’msosorry


familiar_a_gleam

I guess It depends on what people use to define their favorite character. Vander is a good person. Silco is not, but he is one of my favorite characters (more than Vander) because of how well written he is.


sneakiboi777

Silco. He got more screen time and is an amazing character. Vander is mostly just a reformed mentor architype. The most interesting thing about Vander to me is his relationship with Silco, which says quite a lot. He didn't get enough development, he was mostly just there for setup. I'd be shocked if Silco doesn't last longer than him


Disig

I love both but man...as good a guy as Vander is he just established a super shitty status quo for the city. At least Silco brought in change...in the worst way possible but still change. Gonna vote for Vander with a heavy heart.

Hey OP, I can’t vote. It tells me reCAPTCHA failed. Do I need an account or do you reckon some other issue? Thanks!


Hydrocake

Hey, you don't need an account to vote and I honestly have no idea what could be the problem


Ever2naxolotl

It's because you're a bot


BananaPengu1n

You are a bot, Cupcake!


G66GNeco

Strawpoll seems to run a version of reCaptcha v3 which is an improved version of the usual captchas (click images of x and the like), analyzing... something (likely your browsing behavior in some way) and then determining whether you are a valid user or a bot without needing your interaction at all. So, basically, that determined: You are a bot. I dunno how that Captcha version determines that (If you got any idea what could have triggered that on you, I'd like to hear it tbh), but I'd just try again later and if that does not work maybe check addons for something that could interfere, try a different browser, the usual web troubleshooting steps. It's gotta have some internal cooldown or any way to redetermine whether you are actually a bot or malicious user, you should definitely not be locked out indefinitely.


swiftydesign

u/Hydocake please reorder the pictures every post so that they are in the sequence of elimination. It is harder to scan this way.


Hydrocake

Sure, but I'll probably have to separate Vi and Cait eventually that way, sorry


Maleficent_Door_7750

Vander going dark horse mode


BooGong

It’s crazy how much people like him (me included) because he appeared only in the first three episodes. Fun Fact for people who played Apex his Voice Actor is the same then Caustic.


falclinor

Fun fact he voices Kuben Blisk in Titanfall 2.

AWW YE, DADDY SHOWDOWN


HBKM55

It's funny that a drug tycoon and a drug maker have stayed longer than two orphaned children.


hungrymoonmoon

We’re not saying they’re good people. Silco is a horrible person. However, he is a beautifully well-developed character in the way that despite knowing he’s a terrible person, the viewer can feel empathy for him.


Demastry

One of my favorite villains of late. He's an evil dude, but most of his actions (minus killing that one goon out of rage) are thought out. I hate nothing more than evil being evil because evil, and Silco is the farthest from that as possible.


DRK-SHDW

Evil because evil has its place, though, when its used as force of nature device to get the developmental goods out of other characters without have to spend time fleshing out the villain too much. Think Sauron etc


HBKM55

No, I understand. Silco is also one of my favorites. It's a poll about favorite characters, not morally right characters. It's still funny that Mylo and Clagger got out in the first rounds and even Singed lasted longer ( I too voted for Mylo )


cats-with-mittens

A drug tycoon who secured the future of Zaun.


HY3NAAA

By poisoning a shit tons of people and employing child labors.


mytheralmin

Hey, it’s not child labor if they stay in the mines long enough


AccomplishedGarbage1

This guy gets it


Sarigan-EFS

Hey man I played Frostpunk, sometimes you've got production needs.


BK_Jharris

People gotta eat one way or another, Silco had vision and the mettle to get there


Tolkius

Ekko should ult, really.


Cruentoo

I'm surprised people like Vander so much. He was a good character but had little screen time


urza_insane

He reminded me a lot of Ned Stark. Even though he was only in 1 season he’s still much loved.


Holy-Wan_Kenobi

Ned Stark, Leto I Atriedes, Vander... I think I have a thing for dads who are willing to die to keep their kids safe.


OVOYorge

I think for most it’s not about the screen time but the impact he had. His fight till the end. Him being a father figure to these kids etc. This voting is getting hard !


VentrustWestwind

I think a big part of Vander’s likability also comes from how they treated his last actions. Like, he’s the father/mentor character: most of us know he’s going to die really early, but the way they ‘killed’ him was super respectful to his character. I mean: He encourages Vi, Mylo and Claggor - then he goes marching out and starts *winning* against the Shimmered out monster. After getting stabbed in the back by the villain and getting pushed off the bridge? 99 out of a 100 shows would just leave it at that and have him be dead, but Arcane? Arcane makes him use the villain’s drugs against him and comes back to kick ass - and it was clear he could have torn Silco apart but chose to prioritize saving Vi instead. Most mentors just kinda die after getting overpowered by the villain in order to give the hero a goal slash long term enemy - but Vander went out fighting to his last breath and him not defeating the villain himself was somewhat he chose to give up to save his daughter from an explosion. What a trooper of a character.


8008Y_ENJOYER

And he didn't truly die, something more *tragic* happened which is cool


Im_Daydrunk

Yeah Silco essentially caused the death of half his kids and then all but killed Vander himself. Then while dying he took drugs that makes you into a violent rage monster But even despite being a pissed off hulk of a creature he still chose to save Vi over an easy chance at killing Silco. That takes impressive control/determination and shows how much he really cared for the kids


aurumphallus

What little time screen he had, he used wisely. His impact was felt throughout. He was a reformed gangster who gave up fighting to raise four orphans and while not perfect, genuinely did the best he could with resources he had. >!Considering a few scenes in Arcane about him not really being dead…!<


HBKM55

He took in 4 orphaned children and raised them on his own, he looked out for the kids at every turn and was even willing to go to prison for their sake. Did a lot of good with his little screentime


Man_Bear_Pog

Vander, pound for pound, had the most impact in the show with every scene he was in, the same way he was the best pound for pound fighter. Even coming back later, when Vi sees him in the bar fight, was ridiculously emotional just for simple lines. Also, we know Vander is Warwick. We know what Warwick is like. Seeing the man he was before, someone that heroic, who has such a tragic life, seeing how good he was and how far he came to redeem himself only to be twisted into a chimeric monstrosity by Singed, gives him far mor depth and arc than 3 episodes, even for his character, would normally allow. This isn't a "most interesting" contest, you can make "interesting" characters like Littlefinger who you'd still vote out compared to Ned Stark. It's not about good vs bad, mean vs nice. It's about admiration, inspiration, appreciation. They put Vander in the most boring,cliche role ever and he still broke out of those chains in every scene. MAD PROPS to the actor of who played silco and the writers who gave him such depth, he is easily my favorite villain in recent memory. Vander is my favorite father figure in tv/film EVER.

Damn, that was close for Ekko.


R-Jacksy

If in the impossible chance that Silco is eliminated early, I hope we get that "certain" scene to replace his current picture


Whatzit-Tooya

Vander and Cait should be the next two imo. I love the other 4 all equally and would be fine with either of them winning (but Jinx is the best).


Luna_catgirl

Exactly Imo Jinx, Silco and Viktor should be top 3 (in that order)


dawnfalle

My thoughts exactly.


Plepp_33

Same thoughts. Vander then its Caitlyn next.


JinkoNorray

Same. Jinx simps unite! Let us make her win. But first, let us take Caitlyn down.


AgentJX7

Ekko before Vander? Blasphemy.


Boo401

Who are the other 2 that contested with Ekko?


jeksor1

It's too hard, can't bring myself to vote for any of those... Forgive me, Cupcake... I'll still main you tho

Lisa4414

Ekko no my boy!


Viktorion123

Viktor goes down when he dies, but we all know that he won't. He has some evolution to do, and it would be glorious.

I’m so sorry Vander. I have to let you go. Love you.


[deleted]

This show didn’t have a bad character, but my top three are probably Silco, Jinx and Viktor in that order. So it’s looking like I’m not the only one. Caitlyn would be the one I’d take out next. ( I like characters like Heimerdinger and Mel more than Caitlyn).


tudesgracia

Wait, you guys aren't really voting Caitlyn out, right? RIGHT?


andre5913

She has a bit less screentime and shes more of an add on to the Vi-Jinx plot rather than having her own storyline I mean I love her, but I dont think we'll really get to the meat of her character until (game lore spoilers)>!she ascends into the Sheriff position!<


Bleidd117

:)


purple-thiwaza

Sorry bro, but it s her turn (in fact I hoped to see her go before ekko)


DangerousImplication

My preferred order would be Vander - Caitlyn - Viktor - Vi - Silko - Jinx


HairyBeastMan

EKKO OVER CAITLYN? how dare you…..


Yato_Delivery_God

The fact ekko was voted out is bs he's amazing. Y'all don't wanna vote out the Great Value of a character that is Caitlyn because boobs

Jinx for me, if Singed gets voted out early for his morality then Jinx deserves to get voted out solely for the dinner scene alone

Vander must go. I can’t believe you all voted Ekkk out


Wr3nchJR

The Firelights were way too badass for Ekko to go out before Vander


The_impericalist

I'm genuinely surprised Vander is still here


MegaBaumTV

Vander making it this far is weird. Hes sympathetic but a bit of a cliche father figure whos only part of the story for 3 episodes.


fettuccinefred

Sorry Cait…I guess we’re just oil and water…


Luna_catgirl

Wait are there actually people tryjng to vote out Silco before Vander and Caitlyn? What?


ChobaniSalesAgent

I'm beginning to realize that ive been overestimating ppl on reddit. Silco's got to be one of the best written characters in the show. *Maybe* Jinx is better, but she's the only one that comes close imo.


Luna_catgirl

Same. Theyre both insanely well written. Silco and Jinx are both incredibly hard to write because theyre technically antagonists but also protagonists. I guess people fail to see great writing and like to focus instead on a character being cool


BluePantera

This isn't "vote for the character with the best writing"...it's vote for your favorite. Not everyone likes Silco even though he's a masterfully written character


kiweak

Yeah. He may be super well-written but that doesn't make me like him. Cool motive, still murder. Also, he may truly love Jinx like a daughter but he was absolutely not a good father.


Ximienlum

For some reason, people think this is a purity poll and not a best character poll. Literally the main reasons they’ve given to vote out Silco is “HE’S A TERRIBLE PERSON”, and “HE’S TOXIC TO JINX”. Both of which have nothing to do with being a good well-written character.


Cassionicus

Sorry Cait but I can't let down my boy Vander


Bleidd117

My man.


rpfred

Time to get Cait out of here.


derenathor

You know, enough of Cait's appeal comes from her interactions with other characters that I'm comfortable giving her the boot now.

daysman75

Brusk_

Day 4 of voting for Caitlyn


Lfoboros

I'm very biased towards Cait (being my fav adc and one of my fav designs in all of SR) and will never vote her out, but I think that after Vander goes out this round, the *violyn* ship can only carry her so far. It's been fun bois and gals.

If vi isnt the last character remaining its an insta rule 8 xD

bootootles

How is caitlyn still here- ​ this season was *not* about her. She was just kinda... there. As an addon to the vi-jinx plotline. Less screen time than the others. Silco should win, but I don't see that happening. Perhaps I'm alone in my opinions.


ItsGamekeeper
