[He says that a bit cheekily. He's heard as much about this from Tony, who might actually be a real-life example of robots going wrong. Viktor, however, believes in himself and in his work, and knows that the addition of magic can accomplish what technology alone cannot. He'll make sure things are different, this time.
Now it's Viktor who is ready to proceed with activating the automaton, only to be waylaid by Kyle's further questions about the Undercity. He can't blame him, not really, but the comment gives him pause.]

[Zaun contends both with Piltover's oppression and those within its own borders who relish their own kind of control.] But yes, there were uprisings, the last of which occurred when I was a teenager. They never succeeded, and they were never worth the cost.
[Though Viktor might say that about any violent action resulting in loss of life. Having seen what happened to those who tried to cross the bridge, he'd decided then that the best way to enact change would be from the top down--which of course came with its own set of problems. Now, with the cities on the verge of civil war, he's not sure he'll ever find the right answer.]
