If you ask Jayce, he would insist (jaw clenched, eye twitching) that he’s been perfectly fine and normal for the entirety of Viktor’s pregnancy.
Viktor would probably answer differently, but that can be blamed on hormones clouding his judgement. Just ask Jayce.
This scene always irked me because Heimerdinger repeatedly credits hextech entirely to Jayce. Might be a reach, but it feels intentional that this happens in front of the statue of Stanwick Pididly, the man who stole credit for Viktor's creation of Blitzcrank in the original lore
I think of JV as Jayce constantly being all up in Vik’s space. V is playing a game? Jayce is right there, hotly whispering into his ear all the obscenities he wants to do to him. Or something silly. Vik feigns annoyance but in the end he laughs because he feels so loved 🧡
