Fiddlesticks largely ignored, Lore, splash art, visuals

Boinks·Nov 4, 2015·3 votes·1,290 views

I've been playing Fiddles since the day I installed league for the first time and while I don't play him as often as I used too I keep an eye on his wellbeing. Fiddles has been around since the beginning and he's iconic, feared and downrighted dreadful to play against when in the hands of a skilled user (or anyone who can ult over a wall)

My biggest concerns aren't his game play but his lore and art. Over the years the story of Zaun have expanded and we find Fiddlesticks very much not a part of it. We have had the intro of the Shadow Isles and Shurhima both of which offer a better back story potential for our favorite spirit controlled Scarecrow.

The artwork while iconic is old, the splashes, the skill icons, the skins are even a shame. Union Jack needing the most attention in my option. The spell animations are great in the newer skins but again the old ones really leave a lot to be desired.

Any chance we will get around to updating this old bundle of twigs?

Hes a champion I have adored vary much so, but sadly over time I played him less and less to the point where I almost never play him, it bothers me looking at him (Base skin or any other kin that's not Dark Candy, Party, or the newest one we got) next to someone like Tahm, his lore bothers me so seeing that we have no IoW anymore, and his game-play strikes me a bit off to, hes good and strong at times, but a bit unforgiving, easily countered by hard CC and wards, I just hope Riot comes back to him in a kinder way.

His channeling is the issue, he should have his drain removed in favor of an AoE lifesteal scythe attack like Darius. Then you could fear, reap their life.

There are over a hundred champions with more on the way. Riot has multiple teams working on different simultaneous projects. They are just starting to release the marksmen update after the juggernaut update. WAIT YOUR TURN.

I have waited 2,446 days. I think that I've shown a significant amount of patience.

You're right. Riot is composed of many talented people with high skills capable of even satisfying us for a short while.

Riot isn't superman.

Riot is hundreds of Supermen and women.

you expect too much of them. Fiddlesticks will be updated when his rework is done.

Really? We expect too much of the people who created the most popular game on the planet?

Believe it or not, Mr. Demanding, people who work at Riot don't work 24/7. They have these things called lives. They can't devote every waking second to every "Where is the update for MY champ!?" whiner.

What rework?I heard nothing of Riot working on a rework on Fiddle.

The most attention he's got was the new Plentakill song.

If you're willing to vote for him by the time my urgot VU is done, I'll gladly draw the scarecrow :3 I already have an idea in mind too...

I've always thought Fiddlesticks was pretty interesting looking, but his model has always been a problem. He's supposed to be a demon of fear, but he looks so comical, especially his waddling walking animation. I really hope they do a VU for him soon. They should probably do a kit update as well, seeing as his kit is rather binary.
