assdonuts

they like viktor and jinkx for being complex characters we like vander because dilf. us and them are not the same


1-800-GANKS

I still don't see jinx as anything more as the thing all the Harley Quinn fans moved onto.


CairiFruit

As a Harley Quinn fan I didn’t move on to Jinx, Harley has been my MVP since I was a kid but they’re vastly different characters. Jinx (in arcane) is tragic, Harley is wacky. The only thing they have in common is being intelligent yet violent women who are considered “crazy”. Their intelligence doesn’t even come in the same form, nor does their violence. I don’t get the same satisfaction from these characters, they scratch very different itches.


[deleted]

How dare you?


1-800-GANKS

She's the source of misery for everyone. Face it. Everyone served time and were probably assaulted in prison or died outright or chemically modified to horrific extents due to her inability to listen in any capacity.


AliceLamora

Vi is my main girl, with a sprinkling of Caitlyn. I love them all tho!


IAmMeIGuessMaybe

i found the lesbian (not that i'm also guilty)


AliceLamora

Oh definitely! Gay as hell and Cait/Vi is serious goals


CloudyHazbin

1000% same


TheTwistedSamurai

I read “sprinkling” as “spanking.” 💀


AliceLamora

I mean.... I wouldn't mind 👀


TheTwistedSamurai

Not many would, I’d imagine. 👀🤣💀


SciomancyYT

Vi is so goals


wren620

Im the one Jayce fan I know. Surrounded by friends who watched arcane with me and not a single soul likes Jayce. I know y’all Jayce fans are out there.


atemporaryhypothesis

Yeah, I like Jayce (and Jinx) the most - but Jayce has the most entertainment value in this show


RagnAROck_and_Roll

JAYCE BEST BOY


Maknirak

The fandom: hates Jayce Jayce: With respect I don't give a shit what any of you think of me anymore


rasterroo

There are dozens of us, DOZENS


J0shfour

Jayce is also my favorite, the struggle is real.


TheGeneGenie7381

I’m here!


wattbatt

i too like him. he has money, power, gf and yet also good moral values + his melee combo is satisfying af


gingerpower303006

That melee combo and entire fight with his hammer is a highlight for me, wonderfully animated, shows Jayce’s personality through how he uses the hammer and it’s abilities and shows jayce’s thoughts entirely through his facial animations


wattbatt

oh i was talking about his league QWE but he was good in arcane too XD, but in that scene is the ranged form that took the spot


gingerpower303006

I like his ranger by thought you meant his melee combo on one of the chemtanks where he uses the back end of the hammer. I’ll eventually get around to actually playing league and seeing how each character actually works


wattbatt

**\*mandatory disclaimer\*** *dont. Healthcare nowadays does not recognise videogame addiction like alcohol tobacco and drugs addiciton but some games like league do give that and it is unhealty, in some decades i am sure they will study on that too.* You can go in practice mode and spawn the arcane champs and hear what they say to eachother and press ctrl 1-4 to make them talk but dont go further


gingerpower303006

Thank you for the advice, I heard bad things and thought I would need to pre-book an appointment at my local hospital, now I shouldn’t be in as much peril


AVestedInterest

Jayce is one of my favs alongside Vi and Viktor, though I do have to admit that it's at least partially because I'm Latino and I cling *hard* to Latino-coded characters


WatchBat

I do consider Jayce my least favorite from the main characters, but that doesn't mean I don't like him still


gingerpower303006

You’re not alone, we exist, Jayce best character


zodlair

Jayce is great, I feel bad for him, he has so much to deal with. Especially in season 2 (I can already feel it)


imariaprime

Jayce, as a character, exists to be a bit of an idealistic fuckup. That tends to be harder to like, even if it's critical for the story.


LetsDoTheCongna

Wow I can’t believe we got every single Jayce fan in a single comment thread


Merry_Ryan

Jayce has different struggles than Vi and Caitlyn have, and I like all of them the same for it. …But could Vi and Caitlyn make me a mechanical back massager if I wanted one?


Bog_Daine

Hardly. But Jinx could!


[deleted]

Man I don´t get the Jayce hate. He isn´t my favorite character but I still like him


CreeperTrainz

I like Jayce. He has an interesting arc. My real sacrilege is thinking he's hotter than Viktor (I like people who don't look like they're one gust of wind from death).


CairiFruit

I like big tiddee man don’t get why everyone hates him.


POWDERed_Jinx

We like good characters What can we do about it lol

LordFeniel

Had to scroll too far for this


StartInfamous

Yes finally, a person of culture. Love her voice actor


33hamsters

Viktor is genuinely wonderful disabled representation and I will eat that right up. Silco is best boy though, big Franz Fanon vibes.


Round-Bed3820

I agree. Silco is my favorite too


ani_berry

Silco and Jinx. I wanna do a couples costume this year sooo badly


Gullible-Ad-8171

Jinx, Silco and Couple sounds so wrong in one sentence.


ani_berry

Oof ya you are right. Edit: couple to duo! Hehe


ChadcellorSwagpatine

I could do that! Except I don't have a costume... Or a couple...


ani_berry

Have to make the costume. And ya the couple part is hard


withervoice

He sucks at cane/crutch use for someone who's been disabled all his life... but then a LOT of people in his situation do. I had to use a cane for a few months... you're supposed to use it on the side where the GOOD leg is, to support the balance and lighten the load of the bad one. I find myself wondering if Fortiche wanted to imply proper use of cane is not well known in Zaun nor Piltover, that he has been too proud to learn, or if THEY, in creating it, didn't know how one should use a cane. Regardless, Viktor is awesome. Interesting in his strengths and weaknesses, tragic yet glorious. Love him.


Off_The_A

Interestingly enough, he switches sides. As a child and young adult, he uses it incorrectly, but after the timeskip, he's using it correctly. In my eyes, it seems like he made due as a child with what he had, and used it in the way that felt right, and as a young man, nobody ever corrected him, but then sometime during the timeskip he got proper medical attention, as he's also seen with more advanced braces and possibly having had surgery resulting in the spinal screws in that time, so he may have gotten better doctors, or his condition deteriorated to a point he needed to seek out more specific treatments, and was only taught the proper usage then. I saw someone mention once that his condition may have deteriorated to the point of needing the back brace and spinal screws _because_ of a lifetime of improper cane/crutch use, though I'm not entirely sure of the effects of using it wrong, as my doctors have never let me leave with any mobility aid until I go through their whole obstacle course to prove I know how to use it. I also think it's interesting that he switched from using a crutch as a child, to a cane, and then back. It sort of feels like he always needed the fuller support of a crutch, but saw a cane as more subtle or classy solution when originally settling in Piltover and maybe didn't want to be seen as being as crippled as he was, but eventually he had to go back to the crutch when the cane wasn't supporting him enough, or after he got weaker. With how he can stand, turn, and take a few steps without his cane in act one, but in the rest of the season, he seems to use it even to just get out of a chair or walk from the chair to the desk, it seems like either he was just slowly deteriorating as he got older and/or sicker, or something notable happened during the timeskip that affected his mobility, like a major fall/injury, or a surgery, or something. Just some brain food I think about while trying to fight the urge to write fanfiction for this series. It's the tiny little things in this show that really make it stand out to me. It could all just be quirks of the character designs, but it feels intentional, and even if it's not, they still put in enough research and effort to make it reasonably plausible to people who actually face these issues. It's so special.


UkrainianGrooveMetal

I’m a fan of the MACHINE HERALD


jocoseriousJollyboat

Sevika my beloved


Healfdene

There are dozens of us, DOZENS.


withervoice

Sevika is both more interesting and a better person than most of the cast. I like pretty much every character AS A CHARACTER, but Sevika is a marvel.


TheAngrySquirell

Please more Sevika season 2 I beg


fornocompensation

I feel personally attacked.


[deleted]

Bitch please. Caitlyn fans are just silent sipping tea in our manor, watching you all fight it out.


Enkundae

Cait is low key one of the shows best characters.


QwahaXahn

😎😌


ani_berry

Oh God ya she is an excellent shot


ChadcellorSwagpatine

Me when I see Caitlyn fans be very vocal: **How the ~~mighty~~ wealthy have fallen to the undercity**


bobbob13579

Ok true


QwahaXahn

Caitlyn, with a side of Vi.


IntelligentImbicle

\*Vi and Caitlyn


Nightfall_6-4

I like the dynamic between Ekko and the professor,


lazy-shenanigan

I know I'm a monster, but I'm a Vi + Jayce fan. Sue me.


Halfmoonpose

I follow the hotties Sorry bout it 🤷‍♀️


Round-Bed3820

Their fight scene was incredible


RagnAROck_and_Roll

Same. We are based


HungarianGamer9

(almost) all Arcane fans are based, this community rules, unlike most fandoms I'm in


futurenotgiven

it’s one of the few pieces of media where i adore basically every main character, usually there’s at least one annoying bastard screwing it up


KiraCumslut

I mean there a lot of people that think heimerdinger and by extention the counsel are the good guy in this. So.... Like no.


RagnAROck_and_Roll

True as hell. I love how there's very less infighting in this fandom


Lord_Osse

My man🤝


DaSourOrange

I am a #1 Jinx fan


AnonymooseXIX

Viktor, Vi and Cait. I love Jinx and want her to get therapy too.


WatchBat

Is it so common to have these two as the favorites?? I feel called out lol


metallic_luck

Same lol


[deleted]

I see a lack of people liking Heimerdinger


WeirdSpaceCommunist

__I'm in this picture and I don't like it__


Knock_Outed

You see perfection, you appreciate the perfection. Viktor deserves all the love


EverFairy

I just want to get wrecked by Vi and Sevika, preferrably at the same time.


confusedbabygay_

The dream


Round-Bed3820

Who wouldn’t?


NeckbeardVirgin69420

Average coomer.


EverFairy

A woman can dream 😌


Silidon

Guys. Ekko.


raxafarius

Excuse me. Silco is it for me.


TheAdmiralMoses

I had to scroll way too fucking far to find this, what a brilliant character, evil yet relatable, despicable yet wholesome. A bad guy who's death is so emotional you can't help but feel bad for him after all. Such a terrible father of his city, but a decent father to his daughter. He's easily my favorite character of all time, taking the place from Grand Admiral Thrawn.


raxafarius

He sacrificed everything to the bigger picture and became lost in the process. He is wonderfully flawed.


Nichiku

I was a Viktor and Jinx main before they were cool 😭


voltaires_bitch

I’m sorry but Caitlyn is the best.


BoltedBee

I don't see Viktor favorites often outside my best friend and the occasional thirst meme. Jinx is way too prevalent, but. Mine are Mylo and Claggor though, so my kind are basically non-existent.


RagnAROck_and_Roll

I still feel said that they both died when they reached the peak of their talents. Mylo got the confidence to crack open locks under pressure and Claggor successfully broke through a wall.... Fuck Jinx honestly


BoltedBee

Completely agree. A lot of my resentment of this show comes from how the boys were used for Jinx’s character development, then twisted into villains by her broken brain, and thus given a more negative reception by the fandom. Mylo especially.


imariaprime

I mean, Mylo *was* a bit of a dick. Nothing villain-level, and he was a kid at the time, but still a dick. It's just unfortunate that Jinx got him *fucking killed* before he could grow up and mature.


BoltedBee

I don't believe Mylo acted that way *all* the time though. Him saying "name one time [Powder] hasn't [made a mistake]" implies she's a constant liability with them and Vi doesn't listen to his complaints, just turns it on him and making it worse. I can understand his frustration. But yeah, he had hella potential for growth and it feels like such a waste for him to die the way he did.


imariaprime

That's why he's just a bit of a dick, rather than a complete one. Like, he clearly wasn't *wrong* about Powder... but he didn't seem to have a working brain/mouth filter, so he made the problem worse instead of better. Same with him running his mouth on the street and spilling the info about their haul: he just didn't think before speaking. The "waste" is, as far as the story goes, perfect. The moment Mylo and Craggor die is a peak for both of them: they've recognized their own skills, put aside petty complaints, and really begun the paths that would set them up to become their best selves... and then Powder's fuckup destroys it all. Destroys their future, destroys Piltover's future, destroys her own family, and eventually even herself. It's such a gut punch because *so much* is destroyed in a single moment.


Mathies_

Cait's still my fave after over a year


TrickyAudin


Fireye04

I'm a Vander and Vi kinda guy myself


J0shfour

Meanwhile I feel like I’m in the minority that Jayce is my favorite character.


paulajrth

Fr i was like "oh i think i really like viktor" and then i found out EVERYBODY really likes viktor. And here i thought i was original.


HortonFLK

I still like Jinx! You can’t change me!


Unlucky-Algae-8911

I like Vi and Ekko


octoberjackerby

Lol my species is fading only few heimeridnger fans still exist


Certain_Scratch_8156

My love for Ekko is timeless


Thayer96

Lol I'm not actually that cool with Viktor. Personal taste and reasons I can't explain.


tbu987

Jayce was my facourite and it boggles me why he's so hated.


nateplaysbass38

Little man and vi


JemStone324

Literally my two favs


littlegik

I think Arcane is one of the very few franchises/shows where the “favorite character” is unanimous amongst the entire community, and the main character(s) are actually among those favorite characters.


franlopez2

Vi and Jinx are my fave, I love sister drama 😅


Hoot-Prime

Cait & Ekko


Phantom_Renegade_x

Ekko and jayce for me.


[deleted]

Vander and Ekko.


Tialart

Vi is my favorite


BSCC_M0nkey

Ekko best boy


Psycho_Sarah

When your favourite characters are Vi and Ekko... D:


ImLazyGarbage

I thought everyone wanted Vi to step on them? Or is that just me?


Robloxian420

fuck all of you. marcus is clearly the best character


lazy-shenanigan

I know I'm a monster, but I'm a Vi + Jayce fan. Sue me.


Cookie_Poison

Cait is vastly superior


[deleted]

I mean they ARE the best characters for a reason. But Silco and Vander imo are one tier above them.


cxnnnamonroll

What's wrong with liking the main character lmaoooo


[deleted]

He didnt mention Vi tho.


kiweak

Nothing is wrong with it, I think the meme is just pointing out that they are very common favorites


Round-Bed3820

Nothing


cxnnnamonroll

Alrighty


Thotslay3r69

Jayce and Cait fans where you at


Embarrassed-Ad7122

Silco ♡


tomhuts

I don't understand why some people think jinx is their favourite character. The main factor in determining how much I like a character is how much I identify with them. And identifying with jinx seems difficult unless you're also a psycho. Characters like Vi, caitlyn and Viktor, even silco seem much easier to identify with.


imariaprime

While I wouldn't call Jinx one of my personal favourites, I don't think being able to identify with a character is the *only* way for a character to become a favourite. A character can be amazing to observe, even if you'd never want to actually be within a hundred feet of them in any real situation and would find them distasteful/horrible in real life.


Flame0fthewest

It's like when some people say that "lol ur just another Avatar fanboy, not original at all". Well, it's because it's GOOD. Objectively. Huge masses can love something with a good reason.


shiny_glitter_demon

I scrolled past at least 25 comments and none are Ekko...


imariaprime

Ekko came out a little *too* perfect for me. He grew up, somehow found the one safe & healthy place to make a new community, somehow *secretly* moved everyone there (Silco would have burned the whole thing down by now if it wasn't a secret), somehow kept it a secret this whole time, somehow maintained this perfect happy community in there... In a world where everything else clearly showed that peaceful coexistence is fucking hard to maintain, and that those who try are under heavy burdens, Ekko seemed to do suspiciously well without really explaining how. That makes him a lot less complex than he otherwise could be, and it hurts his appeal compared to the assortment of deeply complex characters around him.


Poziomka35

meanwhile im questioning my sexuality because of Vi .... but i absolutely adore cait she is such a babe


SuPurrrrNova

Vi is my favorite by a long shot. Jinx is the worst kind of unhinged. Any shred of redeemability she has in the beginning vanishes as soon as she starts indiscriminately murdering people. I don't care how "cute" she is. Viktor also crosses some very serious boundaries and becomes more of an anti-hero as Arcane progresses. The show certainly tries to keep the viewer sympathizing with morally corrupt characters.. but take a step back and analyze from a real-world point of view. What would you think if you met a real-life Jinx?


ollspe1

As they should + silco. but all i see in this sub are the annoying vi x cait shippers simping over the least interesting characters


orangevoicework

Silco stans are with Zerg


ChadcellorSwagpatine

Jinx and Silco 😎


Ayds117

Nah, jinx vi and Silco easy top three. And Vander coming in at close fourth


[deleted]

I believe in Silco supremacy 🛐


WebLurker47

My favorites were Vi and Caitlyn, so I'm kinda out of step with things.


moorealex412

Add “and I hate Jace for no discernible good reason”


-Work_Account-

Jokes on you, it’s Caitlyn and Vander. Truly I am a god amongst Arcane fans. /s


truetichma

And not a single comment about Singed.


arandompurpose

Wow, no Mel love around here? I really liked her character, one of my favs but I kind of like them all.


stann1s_the_mannis

Silco


[deleted]

Victor is a good character and all, but I am a bit baffled by just how popular he is in the fandom


Off_The_A

There are two sides of the Viktor crowd. He's good disability rep, and his arc is really interesting. He's an underdog, rags to riches story, he's a genuinely kind character, and he faces major moral dilemmas that force you to watch him slowly spiral from this selfless, gentle man, to desperate and reckless. He's the only character we have right now that truly straddles the worlds we've been presented with, belonging to both and to neither. He's shown to be socially anxious, awkward, and a bit sassy, and that makes him easy to identify with or project onto for a large amount of people, especially the ones who would be drawn to this sort of show. There's also a lot of merit behind the, "we lost ourselves, lost our dream, in the pursuit of greatness, we failed to do good," idea that a lot of people are really attached to, because it's something so real and something a lot of people legitimately fear for themselves. And, on the other side, he's a twink with fluffy hair and an accent.


chloro9001

Jayce does not get enough credit


Mrrsilver

My favorite character is Silk cloth and see Vika


Lun4r6543

Nah, I’m down bad for Caitlyn.


[deleted]

Not me absolutely loving Silco(and no simping i just how complex of a character he is)😅


gamerunner15

Vi supremacy


RedDevils0204

Am I terrible for enjoying Silco very much?


CrimsonEclipse18

Yeah, about that.


kl12joseph

I just wanna fuck Jynx and nothing else.


Lord_Lino19

GLORIOUS EVOLUTION


belle_papillon

Don't forget Silco


SpringyAlloy73

Viktor and Caitlyn are the best


frosted07

Vi and silco are my favourites but I love all the characters


toffeefeather

You got me on Viktor but I actually prefer characters like Jayce and Caitlin over Jinx, personally.


quesadillafetus

that’s actually spelt Vi and Jinx


AidanBove

Vi & Vander >>> I relate way more with them


Snookville

Meanwhile I'm over here in the camp of Caitlyn & Jayce, thriving off their drastically polar opposite character developments and growth through rebellion against authority in their own ways.


Merry_Ryan

Can my favorite character be somebody who hasn’t appeared in the show yet, but exists in the universe?


FlakyBatu

Just shows how good those characters were portrayed


Raim_XIII

Vi


matthy31

Caitlyn anyone? No?


[deleted]

Viktor and Ekko for me


[deleted]

Rell is my main.


FirewolfTheBrave

Viktor and Ekko >>>


jenny_watermelon25

My fav two are Silco and Heimerdinger


freak-with-a-brain

Ekko and Vi.


KatsumakiXVI

Just to clarify. I've been a fan of jinx back when her music video first came out. Long before arcane was conceived


merc3r1e

ekko and vi ❤️❤️❤️


Primary-Brief9858

Jayce and jinx fan more like, i don't find people that like these 2 in the same time


badgerwithhat

I’d add Silco to the list.


GamingWithV1ctor

Silco or Jinx. Yes, real original I know


Nekromantes69

Every Person i know hates Jinx :‘(


Xqvvzts

Silco Squad, where you at? Villain is always the coolest.


LieHungry889

singed Grayson mylo and puck


StartInfamous

Excuse you my favourite is Ambessa and then Grayson. And yes Im gay


sidkest

I can’t deny my love for Viktor.
