#an escape from the consequences of his action and complacency of his mentorship to his previous students: Viktor & Jayce

I’m salty about Heimerdinger

As SOON as the machine is ready— it turns out that not everything is plugged in and Heimerdinger has to manually plug the cords to get Ekko back to his world. Only for him to die in an act of self-sacrifice?

You’re telling me, the yordle scientist— with hundreds of years of experience with lab safety and constantly talks about thorough preparation in experiments— forgot to connect two cables before the hextech machine was running? It doesn’t add up to me.

There was absolutely no need for Heimerdinger to be so urgent about leaving only to NOT have the machine ready before activating it.

It read more as though Heimerdinger would help Ekko get back, but he’d be left to fix the chaos because the yordle was most definitely not joining him. Because Heimerdinger has lived through many apocalypses in his years and doesn’t want to live through another one. He didn’t want to go back, face the music and address the mess in their original universe.

Heimerdinger is a coward, killing himself through an unnecessary self-sacrifice to avoid addressing rising conflicts in his original universe
