[Discussion]: Fiddlesticks Rework - Voice/Appearance

Agent Corgi·8/25/2019, 12:09:08 AM·3 votes·2,071 views

So recently I got to thinking about Fiddlestick's upcoming rework next year & there was one thing that Rioter **Carnival Knights **mentioned that had me very interested in this update:

_ "We’re still in the early stages of exploration there, but I did float the idea of having five separate voice actors all whispering at once, repeating odd, overlapping phrases as though Fiddle was trying to appear human at a distance, and a terrifying monster up close."_

If they decide to go down this path & Fiddles has 5 separate voices speaking in unison, I feel like choosing Fiddlesticks Concept C would be a fantastic fit for this idea. My reasoning for this appears underneath Fiddlesticks tattered cloak, those Eyes peeping through the rips & tears of his body. https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02_Fiddesticks_Concepts_itlamu210ooklfvzf5hz.jpg

When I think of Fiddles having more than one voice, I'd like to think that they're all coming from whatever is underneath that Tattered Burlap visage.

Thoughts ladies & gents?

I'd love to see Fiddle get multiple voices, but not at the same time. I want Fiddle to play back "recordings" of his victims. Give him lots of unique voice lines of past victims, like the sounds of children crying, people calling for help, various sounds he would have used to lure people to him. As the game progresses, he'd also gather lines from his victims, playing back their taunts and on-kill lines.

Imagine the opener to his ult being a little girl saying "He's coming~" as he channels, or he transforms to something horrible and you hear a woman scream "A monster!".

Like a monster from horror movies, he'd have no voice of his own, just sounds and words he's gathered over centuries to lower people's guard and lure them to their death.

I've seen people suggest this before, but the same issue keeps cropping up: They'd have to pay 5 VAs. Chances are that meeting the design goal will mean it having very bizarre speech patterns and mimicking the cries of its victims (For instance, as it's attacking its enemy it will say "No, please stop! For the love of all that's holy stop!" because that's the reaction it comes to expect).

Also Fiddlesticks B is best Fiddlesticks. He looks like an executioner.
