The time is now.

Compared to the VGUs that came before, these two champions will have their VGU documented more thoroughly as Riot will provide us all with insights into their process.

This means that feedback regarding those two reworks will be a lot more valuable to them as they can directly use that information and any form of productive criticism in changing their designs for the better.

What I mean to say here is that thorough, detailed, civil and most importantly, constrictive discussions on these champions will most definitely be valuable to Riot in their decision making. So, consider this a call to arms.

If you love these champions and want them to truly receive the rework they deserve, NOW is the best time to create some thorough discussions on the themes, visuals and gameplay you want to see included in their updates.

I hope you guys get just as good of a rework that I got for my Mordekaiser, you deserve it.

I have high hopes for Fiddles. It made me nervous when I saw he won (even though I voted for him), but their early comments seem really promising. I agree that "ambush predator" is kind of Fiddle's thing, so I'm glad that's where the discussion is starting.

And I am also glad they are going to separate the goofy elements into his skins, instead of trying to make base fiddles goofy. I want him to live up to his fantasy of being a terrifying monstrosity.

Not sure what everyone else thinks, but I hope they tone down some of Fiddle's CC.

That point and click fear and the silence is unfun to play against. :(

Edit: I do hope they make him truly terrifying with his ultimate whilst making him more viable and fun to play against.

I am conflicted with Volibear characterization. I'm torn between the monstrous beast of a deity he is heading toward and the Wise Noble Bear that he use to be. Hoping some how they can keep both but I don't see it happening.

Voli was my first main. His mechanics were easy enough and strong enough I could learn the game and enjoy myself.

All I want is a panda bear skin. That's it. Pandas are cute.

Revert Volibear

I've only played fiddle 2-3 times in my 6 years playing league so I won't talk about it. Volibear, however, is a main champion of mine and the sole reason I was able to climb to platinum last year. Tiamat Voli let me clear like a shyvana while still being able to gank like a Sej. TBH, I don't really wan't anything to change with Volibear. If anything, I feel his Q needs to be punished less by enemy cc effects. Items like merc treads and righteous glory help but I'm typically not in favor of building Glory. I usually build Volibear with a tiamat rush into Jaurim's fist items if I can, and appropriate tank as necessary. Glory sometimes fits into the build, and other times it can be difficult, like when AP bot lanes were popular earlier this season. I think adding some sort of effect to his q, like "can't be slowed," would be really beneficial. That way, dodging skill shots like Lux Q is skill based but you have to worry less about being hit with almost undodgeable aoe slows, like Lux E, MF E, etc.

The problem is that while I love Fiddlesticks I can also very easily admit the kit I love isn't healthy at all. So I now have to ask myself what should change about him to both preserve his memory while still moving onwards to making him a better experience to play as and against.

And his overall lack of lore doesn't give much area to spring from so there's ultimately a lot less I'm particular about for him and his new lore.

I love my son sticks he is very cute and silly. I trust his team with my life, my only request is that hes still a teeny bit silly. He'll always be cute tho, no matter what they do.

I am not so sure about that one. Alright, morde rework, visual wise and lore was was amazing butlet us not forget that we have not seen a mage rework in a very, very long time and we do not know how Riot will deal with it. We might end up having a good visual rework but him being awful to play (like aatrox) or he could actually be good. Who knows. Don't get overexcited over there fiddle enthusiasts tho.

I hope they deliver the terror fantasy theme, the T pose Signature, and the crow related swarm that he is being most known of (insert a twist of fate video addendum here).

I dont play these two champs, but i always like seeing key parts being preserved and lore aspects being enhanced. And as for fiddlesticks, i voted for him due to me hating his current kit and supoort role.

Fiddle i believe will easily keep his ult, and i think placing an aoe fear in when cast will work really well and give him space for a new spell. His silence can be made in the form of a cone aoe where he just sends crows. (This is starting to sound like swain so ill leave the rework to them)

I love ornn being the molten god, anivia being the ice god, and voli being the thunder god. Thats right, voli is the thunder god... They should and most probably will exemplify that in his kit, and its all i really want out of it. Good lore to match the 2 brothers. Also keep trick2g's duo buddy alive :(

This is probably an odd idea for his ult, but with a touch of realism, what if his ult blinded people for like 1-1.5 seconds with a .5 fear, that way his ult would be a teamfight game changer. Because realistically, if a swarm of birds let alone hungry crows were swarming youd be ducking your head or closing your eyes trying to get away.
