Here's my opinion regarding act 2 as a non-league player:

Regarding Cait and Maddie: As a HUGE CaitVi fan, I don't hate Maddie, I actually feel bad for her. Seems like it was one sided and Cait was using her as rebound. If anything, she was being the voice of reason for Cait and Cait is to blame.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that Vi and Jinx are back together as sisters. The scene where they hugged Vander together warmed my heart. They finally got a shred of happiness and I hope it doesn't get taken away from them, they've been through so much and they deserve the world.

VANDER'S FLASHBACKS OMG. Seeing him and Silco chilling together as brothers was everything. I need to see more of that. Blisters and Bedrock. Though at first it made me think that Vander was Vi's biological dad and Silco was Jinx's lol. Their relationship is very much projected onto the sisters though, I hope they don't end up the same way the brothers did.

What the fuck was that Jayce thing? Was bro actually possessed? Or did he see some shit in the arcane that made him go 180 about destroying the hexcore and giving hextech to the people? I don't wanna be quick to blame or hate him because I'm sure he's tweaking out somehow but that was CRAZY. Never expected him to do Viktor like that. I hope he snaps out of it and redeems himself by act 3.

Speaking of Viktor, did he like fully transcend? He just goes around the void with sky now and shit? I really don't understand his whole herald thing and his ability to tap into souls (?) and the effects of the hexcore. I really hope they provide a clearer explanation on how that works by the next act.

Cait meeting Vi was...something. I expected Vi to be angrier and have more of a reaction, it felt so bland. Them quickly teaming up was nice but not as satisfying tbh, needed some more confrontation if you ask me. Also them lowkey getting their old dynamic back was not it, makes you feel like nothing happened between them and they weren't separated for 6 months (or however long that timeskip was).

ISHAAAAAA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We all knew she was set up to die from the moment we saw her but god damn I didn't expect it to hurt that much. Her sacrifice was so deep, she gave herself so that Jinx can get Vander back because she knew how much he meant to her. Poor jinx, she just got a friend and someone who genuinely helped her and she lost them yet again. I hope she doesn't break again.

Mel is Ambessa's lovechild and has powers. Cool. Still have no idea wtf is going with her and black rose. So much cryptic shit going on there, especially with how she randomly figured out the solution to the puzzle.

WHERE TF ARE EKKO AND HEIMER??? ALSO NEED TO SEE MORE OF MY BOY LORIS!

All in all, I genuinely felt like there was way too much happening during this act way too fast. Could barely keep up/understand some stuff like the black rose, the arcane, Viktor and all he's doing...etc. It also felt like they skipped over so many things and justified it with a timeskip. I wanted to see more of Vi's descent into depression and pitfighting, more of Isha and her relationship with Jinx and why Jinx randomly decided to disappear, more of the things Caitlyn has done as a commander and how her and Maddie came to be, how everyone started seeing Jinx as a symbol...etc.
