is there any relation between fiddlesticks and thresh?

Wolfess·Oct 20, 2015·1 votes·958 views

was in champ select and kinda remembered something when I saw fid's splash art, he has a key on a string around his neck, and having been playing some thresh recently a few days back I knew from looking at his splash so often that thresh has several similar, lage, clunky keys around his waist. Also fiddlesticks was some sort of spectral being or something that was forbidden to be summoned back in the lore when summoners existed and he drains your life-force, whereas thresh is somewhat similar, a strange ethereal-sort-of existence where he steals (drains maybe) your soul.

Kinda curious if there's anything in their past or place of origin, or maybe just coincidences

well, i mean there must be a reason for fid to be carrying a key around his neck. It's not just about it being a key, it's about what it may represent. Ashe's bow represents part of her past and lineage to being a descendant of Avarosa and plays a large in her relationship to other frelljord champions, mainly being sejuani and lissandra.

I don't know if kindred's bow has any real significance to her story, lore, character, or anything at all or if it has any special powers or purposes or if it's just the bow she prefers using just because it belongs to her. A similar comparison might be Yasuo's sword. It probably might not have any special significance or meaning other than it's the sword type used in their practice of their respective sword style of combat.

Thresh carries keys around probably because it's part of his character, a chain warden, so he has to keep keys around for the things he's the warden of(probably souls locked away) but I didn't quite find any real purpose for fid to carry the one around his neck in his splash, so the first thing I thought was to bring up the one champ I knew to have keys, of which they look quite similar, up.

Nothing in common in origin, although with the retcon of the League, I think Fiddlesticks is almost certainly going to be made into an Isles champ. So it's possible something could be added, because Fiddlesticks' lore is going to need a full rewrite now that the summoners and League are gone, because that was really all he had.

Unfortunately, Fiddlesticks won't become a Shadow Isles champion. Stated by a rioter, Carnival Knights, from a year ago:

Hello! I'm currently the guy taking a crack at Fiddlesticks (still in the early stages, nothing concrete). For the current iteration I've decided to keep him separate from the Shadow Isles, if nothing more than to keep SI from being our Spooky Scary Champ megamart. Plus, I think he fits in better elsewhere anyway :)

One of the things I want to preserve is the core of Fiddle's personality, while expanding on his origins and purpose. I'm throwing in a bit of Lovecraft and Alice in Wonderland to the early drafts (I also took a couple suggestions from the forums), so hopefully the result is a bit of creepy absurdism with a hint of something-wicked-this-way-comes. We'll see if we end up using any of it, but I'm definitely trying to do him proud!

Oh, that's interesting, I forgot about that post. Alright, thanks for reminding me.
