Not to mention Shimmer is clearly addictive. You know what would happen if the supply for a drug like that suddenly and rapidly dwindled?
Addicts would die of withdrawal.
Those who didn't die would have to spend their life savings getting a fix from the few people who might manage to manufacture Shimmer for themselves or have some left over, who I'm gonna call Shimmer Scalpers. People would kill and rob other people who had Shimmer. Conmen would make fake 'shimmer' to sell to desperate people, then leave them to die and run with all the money.
Eventually, one of the chembarons would probably find out a way to mass produce it and then take control of the lanes, and chances are they might even be worse than Silco, because they might not even care about any cause except their own profit. It takes a privileged, immature mindset to think that removing Shimmer will just make all its problems go away.
Hindsight is 20/20, but I don't think you needed to be psychic to guess that destroying ALL the shimmer supply was a bad idea.
In Act Three it took three whole doctors to save Vi's life after she gets slashed by a Noxian blade across the chest. Yet in s1 it took a single drop of shimmer to save Vi from the deep stab in the gut Sevika gave her without any other form of medical intervention.
There's just a really gross sense of irony that Caitlyn and Piltover at large took away Zaun's main source of medical care (as controversial as it may be), and then put it's people through a meat grinder battle while withholding such care.
It doesn't help that the meat grinder battle was useless ploy for Jayce to get close to Viktor and so a lot of people, specifically Zaunites, died for nothing.
"Words. Images. Sound. Moments and memories, frozen in time. If there is no true death, then let there be stillness. The world will be my pearl."
In my years in this fandom I've seen a lot of posts that assume Viktor deeply resented Jayce for the time they've spent on hextech or angrily imply he's 'sick of being jayce's assistant' (that's not his job, they're Partners, people.)
so today I bring you a very relevant reel of Viktor in his natural habitat utterly happy in his zone and proud of the work they do together btw. Actual stars in his eyes, if you even care

Liking sci-fi is such a weird thing because it's such a broad category I'm not even sure I can definitively say I DO like sci-fi. Like. Star Trek and Rain World are both things I like that you could call sci-fi, but they are both INCREDIBLY different in plot, tone, theme, and even the ideologies they're based on. I think the only thing they really have in common is exploration of unknown alien worlds
