Just saying.
I haven't been able to playing him in years (because his kit is so outdated) and his lore has been out of place since the Academy of War disappeared from the lore.
Lots of work to do here, but lots of potential too…

Warlord Dienekes8 votesJust gonna point out: "Turns out that having a cacophony of random people saying things at you is extremely off putting in a gameplay environment (for the player as well as their opponents) Whoops."
Why whoops? Extremely off putting sounds exactly like what Fiddlesticks should be. That is the single most twisted cool thing in the entire write up.
Leetri2 votesDo you want to get a headache and nausea every time you play Fiddlesticks? That's an easy way to effectively delete a champion from the game. There's off-putting and then there's off-putting.
RiotCarnival Knights10 votesLet me put it this way. In the jungle, it could easily confuse players who think that a different champion has entered their sight radius or activated an ability nearby. In lane, it can confuse multiple players since VO is a huge gameplay tell for the vast majority of champions, including the person playing Fiddlesticks. It was pointed out that at times it could feel really disorienting. Maybe two VAs would be okay, but definitely not five.
As cool as it might sound on the surface, the gameplay implications were fairly severe. I had to let the idea go. :'''(
Buuuuut for now I'm exploring a different version of that type of script, as I said in the update. My producer was visibly creeped out by the current pass, so I'm feeling pretty good about it. I'll be able to talk about that more next time on Fiddlesticks Z.
Terozu2 votesSo make it toggleable. >.>
MeBuffULongTime1 votesIs there any way we could ever hear that first version with the five voices? I read about that version in the last update on the rework progress and that concept just sounds fascinating from a psychological standpoint.

4 Step Cadence1 votesYes, I'm sure a narrative writer had everything to do with that decision.
Go spam Riot Mort if you want answers/change. Or, better yet, don't spam Rioters at all.
Terozu2 votesIs there any chance of Fidds getting his 'waiting' back?
That was always the creepiest part to me.
He doesn't chase, he doesn't run... He waits.
PapiPequeñoPlays1 votesResurrecting this just to ask you to pass along the idea to change Fiddle's ult from Crowstorm to CAWCAWphony. If that multiple voice actors thing goes through...it's just too perfect to pass up.
Lapis26 votesI am absolutely not excited for his rework. I have a feeling his new gameplay is going to involve jumpscares and I'm sensitive

I mean, yeah, but current fiddle doesn't hold a candle to getting pulled with a blitzcrank hook into a bush. That's the shit that gets me. If they can recreate that feeling in the rework i'm screwed
Dead Anime Dad1 votesFair, but for me , there's nothing scarier than a rengar or a khazix popping out of a bush and deleting me.

This. Not so much Kha, but the only time I've been jumpscared while playing LoL is from a Rengar ambush.
nm10101 votesBack when he didn't give you any indication he was ulting I got jumped on going to my red buff while talking with somebody and almost knocked over my entire desk and computer. Headphones + the rengar roar was super loud lol.
Ginger9763 votesOh man....headphones too. I couldn't do it. And its even worse because by the time you realize what happened, you're already respawned back at pool.
Sirsir3 votesThe most terrifying and hilarious moment of this game for me was getting pulled into a bush with 5 people in it. I jump in such a way I literally take my hands off the keyboard for like a full 2 seconds...
Then remember I'm Janna. Ult flash Q and I somehow live... I was laughing my ass off the whole rest of the game...

He'll also have stealth, a dash, and a 3 hit passive.

HA I am Shaco HA2 votesI am absolutely not excited for his rework. I have a feeling his new gameplay is going to involve jumpscares and I'm sensitive
if they added jumpscares they'd have to add the whole "This game may have jumpscares involved" and the "Riot is not responsible for anything" etc etc
legacy dude1 voteswhat would be cool is if they added an ability that gives him stealth or something and then feared his target as he comes out of stealth and flashes the screen, therefore not making it a 'proper' jumpscare but still making him scary. the ability may be op but idk.

yeah and then gives the enemy a seizure, good idea! They can't add something that flashes your whole screen like that.
legacy dude1 votesi may have not made my post very clear. i meant flashes the screen sort of like how rengar does with his ult. i hope that cleared up any confusion
SammyDayspring19 votesMore nervous than excited. Most of the reworks lately have been ridiculously OP, and then Riot spends the next few years nerfing and buffing them in every patch. The cycle is tedious.

Was the same before that, people just tend to forget. Have you played when GP was reworked? That was something else.
Jimmy Rustles11 votesI'm more hyped for his cosmetic standards
He's supposed to be scary but he's such a goof in game, except for the praetorian one, where he is a mindless murder machine
So hopefully more spooky, less goofy

true, but his goofyness is charming, I picked up fiddlesticks as a main about 2 years ago and I am scared to see what will happen to my baby and how it will affect his playstyle. If it is changed I as a fiddlesticks onetrick (yes we do exist) are screwed, at least for a bit
Ugh Lee6 votesI'm actually really excited if they have a sort of cinematic for him. Imagine like a campfire scene where children tell ghost stories of fiddlesticks, and there's a jump scare at the end where he rips open the screen or something.
14daysuspensionk3 votesI'm more excited for the Volibear one, soon we will no longer have to play polar bear simulator with a bear that has pancake feet.
Power Mac3 votesNot really. I'm one of those who don't understand what's wrong with Fiddle's kit. Imho, it needed an update, not a rework. Its R is iconic, its W is the quintessence of its kit, its E is amazingly useful and the Q is a nice touch. Besides, if Riot is going to keep just its R, we'll be left with a single life-absorbing champion (that is, Vladi) in the entire game. I like Riot's ideas on a jumpscare Fiddle, but they could have simply reworked his Q and passive, maybe his R too.

His Q is the most absurd CC in the game, one of the weakest, and one of the few that do 0 damage.
His W snares the user. Seriously, champions haven't had this kind of auto-counterplay in ages.
The crows from the E ricochet almost AT RANDOM. This is really absurd, I can't think of any other skill that ricochet at random.
Then we have the R. The problem with this is that nowadays there are wards everywhere, because of the trinkets. Also, massive CD, you have to Chanel it, it goes on CD again if someone interrupt your channeling… too many weak points.

Sillae1 votesHe's gonna get stealth/invisibility I just know it
Galiö2 votesIts confirmed he doesnt have either
robotmaster1 votesWatch fiddle be release broken. Then have half of his kit removed because there is no to little counter play like these poor, unfortunate, fools.
Aatrox Airlines1 votesAatrox: has 3 extremely delayed and telegraphed skillshits which need to be hit in unique ways as his only damage source
Community: "no counterplay"
Akali and irelia truly dint have counterplay tho
robotmaster1 votesNot his Q. His ultimate had no counter play to it. He would have a ga on 140 sec cooldown. So riot removed it. I can give you a list of the things riot removed from these 3 champs alone and the reason why I didn’t vote for 
. When they said we will rework her like I didn’t want that.
Caretaker Jack1 votes... I would. I love Shyvana and would rather see her broken than the way she is now.
I'm sick of the way she is now also. You pretty much have to go AP to carry because 2 items isn't enough to carry on her as AD unless absolutely nothing happens for 20 minutes in your game. Even then you just get kited to death.
Caretaker Jack1 votesoh no... is that guy working on fiddle??
4 Step Cadence2 votesFiddlesticks is being worked on by Squad5 for gameplay, Kindlejack for (concept) art, Carnival Knights for lore, and probably a few others.
I don't know who worked on Aatrox, Akali, or Irelia.
