Fiddlesticks Scarecrows (Ability idea)

Elite4Runner··2 votes·852 views

This is not a complaint about the Fiddlesticks changes.

This is really just an idea I had that has had absolutely zero time to try and actually incorporate in any meaningful way, but it sounds fun.

Fiddlesticks is a Scarecrow, obviously. And the new change to his passive gives him a buff for standing still, like a scarecrow.

So that actually got me thinking, what would it be like to go around the corner and see a scarecrow standing in the fog of war, just standing there? It would probably scare you because you would then think it is Fiddlesticks. ... What if it wasn't Fiddlesticks? What if it was literally just a scarecrow? What if Fiddlesticks could place scarecrows everywhere and you wouldn't know which was the real Fiddlesticks and which was just a fake?

Like I said I have no idea how to make this actually work. I don't know if it would be best as a passive or an ability, maybe even an ultimate like teemo shrooms, but I would really love to see this. And I'd like to hear your thoughts and how you think it could work.

I've heard this idea so many times before and, tbh, it's kinda annoying me. I'm not saying it to be spiteful or anything, but without a lore, this ability wouldn't make sense lore-wise. Why would Fiddlesticks make mini-scarecrows? He's already a scarecrow! He could just use his crows to do it, it's part of his theme.

I think lore-wise this makes perfect sense. He's meant to be scary and jump scares are one of the few actual scares that happen in this game. If you see him as a scarecrow, and you know it's him, it isn't scary at all, it's just "Oh, that's him" .. He's a pain in the ass, he annoys the fuck out of me personally, but he isn't scary. If I saw what I thought was just a fake and it turned out to be him, it would be pretty scary.

And scarecrows don't 'use' crows, they are meant to scare them away. That doesn't make any sense.

And that is not to say that I don't value your opinion. Thank you for commenting at least. It definitely may not be something that people like in general. I literally just thought about it not all that long before posting. Interesting that others had also thought about it before and discussed it, but I can see why. It seems like a good idea to me.

Also, I wanted to say that the fake scarecrows would not be miniature, if that is what you were thinking. They would be the exact same size and shape (including skin and possibly animations) as the base character so that they would give you the impression that they are the real one. I would actually want it to be a tactic for the actual Fiddlesticks to stand in the middle of nowhere and pretend to be a fake.
