Fiddlesticks Visual Update

Wert the Wacky··7 votes·1,942 views

While I think Fiddle as a champ is actually well balanced (he could use a little buff though), his original model and everything about the skins are so outdated. Most of them are just Fiddle in a different costume. I would love for his original model to match his newer artwork, and the skins need new models as well, not to mention the skins need to be a bit more unique. I'd love for Bandito Fiddlesticks to pull a gun for his Q, and have the Mexican Hat Dance play during his ult. Bandito Fiddle needs a mustache as well. Dark Candy Fiddle's coat tails need to not curl, and his drain could be improved. Pirate Fiddle really just needs an upgraded model, though giving the crows pirate hats would be funny. Union Jack, Surprise Party, and Pumpkinhead Fiddle just need model updates. Risen Fiddle is the only one who doesn't need changes. Fiddlesticks is one of the oldest and most unique champions, so why aren't his skins shown any love?

He is currently not even among the Tier1-candidates for a VGU http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/yghB24Gs-now-urgot-and-eve-will-get-their-long-awaited-vgus-can-we-have-more-info-about-other-candidates

This is likely the case because riot doesn't do VUs on their own anymore and like you said,Fiddles gameplay is actually in an ok spot.

I hadn't heard they didn't do VUs on their own anymore, that's kind of disappointing.

I personally feel that Fiddle needs a VGU more than just a VU. His game play is getting pretty dated, plus he carries around a scythe that he never uses (and yet it's even seen in the Cinematic).

Actually it's in game size would indicate it's a sickle, but it would be nice to see it used, however I don't want any of his current moves to go away, and if Fiddle went melee he'd get killed in a second. Not that his auto range is very far anyway. I honestly don't feel that his point and clicks are too OP, as they don't do a whole lot without an ally helping you in the first place, and the fear especially seems like lore wise it should be easy for Fiddle.

Well whatever its meant to be, it'd still be nice to see him actually have a purpose for it as he's carrying it in his hand vs others that have weapons that just appear on clothing.

They aren't OP really but for the most part the game has moved away from point-and-click mechanics. So making them into skill shots isn't always a bad idea, As for the abilities themselves, I was thinking more of like maybe modernizing him the way Warwick was. That way they'd keep the kit mostly the same but enhance what's there.

Like Terrify for example; they could work the sickle into it, like he swings it towards the enemy and that's what causes the fear effect when it hits them.

Only thing I'd see overall getting a WACK would be "Drain" since it's an odd ability for what is supposed to be a scarecrow styled champion to have. Like where is this power coming from? It doesn't really seem to fit with the theme of the rest of the kit personally.

While drain is an odd ability for a scarecrow to have, I think it's his most iconic move, and no one has anything like it. While League is moving away from point and click, I think terrify and drain should stay point and click, I wouldn't mind dark wind being a skill shot though.

Nunu needs a VU way more than Fiddle does TBH.

Nah, Nunu needs a full VGU.
