Fiddlesticks model

i try everytime·Oct 12, 2016·3 votes·686 views

First, I dearly appreciate Riot updating Fiddle's splash art and buffing some of his abilities, but something is still bothering me. Fiddle's in-game model looks aweful. I'm sorry to say it, but it does. However, his splash art model looks great, as well as the awesome model created for the A Twist of Fate cinematic. I was wondering if there are any plans to give him a visual update, or will that just be included in a future rework? (I personally think his abilities are fine). Thank you.

While his kit is functional, it's not terribly cohesive and is mostly just a lot of random thrown together abilities. His play style is s a bit of "press all the buttons and hope they die," rather than something a little more in depth. It's a simple style, yes, but it is also a relic from sla long bygone era and honestly needs some updating. As for other things, he still suffers in the lore department, in that he's still 100% reliant on the IOW for characterization and purpose of being, and his visuals and VO are just clunky. So yeah, he needs more work than you give him credit for.

I can understand where you afe coming with his kit isn't perfect. As a Fiddle main, I've learnt to use him in that way, where pressing all my abilities in order is the only way to do something. At some point, before I became decent with him, I always said I wish they would tweak or change some of his abilities as you struggle to fight well with him. So yeah, ability changes could only be a benefit for him, I just said I didn't have a problem simply becausw I don't find him hard anymore. Thanks for voting and respinding! <3

I really wish his VO was changed more than anything. I can live with the model, but his VO to me is just so... not fitting.

They don't do VUs only anymore and instead focus on making full VGUs,since that is more time efficient(though I think fiddle could use some touch ups in his kit,nothing too drastic though)

And while I think Fiddle needs a visual update,I'd say that other champs simply need it more.

I actaully wanted to make a post with my friends about that to, for all the old, ragged champs that simply don't feel pleasurable to look at. Even some newer ones. I didn't prioritze Fiddle, I just brought him up individually because, as I've mentioned in a previous comment, I main him, and looking at him with his derpy walk and weird body never really grew to me. Thank you too for responding and voting, I dearly appreciate it! <3

Yeah,but in the same way you can argue that all those champs who need a VGU need that more than Fiddle a VU. Because the champs who need a VGU usually look pretty terrible as well on top of having a barely-functional(or just boring) kit.

Yeah.
