Honestly wasn't expecting to see Fiddles get a new skin since he is considered Priority-1 Relaunch Material. However, this is a concept that hasn't been explored with Fiddlesticks yet & imo it's quite a welcomed skin. Fiddlesticks has **ALOT **of skins with a wide variety of themes, from being a Ghost to Shuriman Cadaver (Sandsticks).

The fact that he even makes the Cyborg/Killer Android look terrifying in his splash is just additional bonus points in my book. Definitely might consider picking this one up! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I agree, this skin makes him look terrifying. My only complaint is that they made this skin now, slapped on his awful animation rigging, which always makes him come across as super goofy, especially with the way they force him to carry a stunty little scythe in every skin he has.

It's not legendary so its pretty rare that they'd give him animation changes like that.

I understand that. But Fiddlesticks is a tier 1 VGU candidate. I'd rather they NOT give him a badass skin that will look uber goofy with his current rigging, and instead wait until they VGU him so they can update his animation rigging on the whole for something that's more modern and refined that can make a skin like this live up to the badassery the splash is selling us.

I actually like the direction they took with the scythe in this skin, making it into an axe makes sense in this theme considering that these robots are obviously meant to zerg and destroy, that's their only purpose. so having him carry a scythe means that he can use it to cut and destroy terrain and enimies more efficiently than if he was carrying something like a scythe or sword.

By the looks of it, in the background are more Fiddlesticks. Likely a mass produced robot in this skin universe.

WH40k Necron Praetorian skin maybe?

(For those that know warhammer stuff lol)

######Ah, I see you are a man of culture, as well.

In all seriousness, this makes me think of the Vex from Destiny more than the Necrons.

Spikeman71Oct 25, 20181 votes

Also possible. I don't play Destiny and also happened to have Necrons sitting in front of me.

I assume it's going to be part of the Battlecast universe, most likely one of Creator Viktor's creations.

No. You can't compare Viktor's junk with this hot metal.

They actually resemble the robot's that project Yi is fighting. So i'm gonna assume they're in the project universe.

NylisaOct 23, 20183 votes

Damn... looks like Skynet found Fiddlesticks!

BaldBritneyOct 23, 20183 votes

really? i see fiddlesticks skin as a stars wars lego figure

I honestly feel like this skin should be shipped with the Battlecast crew and Graves into the Dreadnova theme. Little bit more red on Fiddles and the only thing more he'd need would be explosive animations.

SukishooOct 23, 20181 votes

Kayle was coincided one and they gave her a skin last year before announcing her update this year (for release next year), so anything is possible.

You see his recall animation? Top tier scarecrow right here. Mother fucker eats crows.

LarrietOct 23, 20181 votes

Until a VGU is properly announced to the public, champions are still eligible for skins, and in fact should follow the general release schedule!

OznapOct 24, 20181 votes

One of the more unexpected skins that I would consider getting if I didn't already have 3 skins for him.

On a slight off note. Grave's Praetorian skin looks like Bastion and Solider 76 fused together.

Vlada CutOct 24, 20181 votes

Inb4 they made Praetorian skin for old Fiddlesticks and new Fiddlesticks like they did with SSG Ezreal. Also, is it just me or do his eyes and forehear remind me of Venom lol.

MetallikaiserOct 24, 20181 votes

Something tells me that him getting this skin makes it likely that he is probably going to take a backseat to Morde/Pantheon/Mundo getting reworks first. Maybe even some Udyr and Corki.

AhrisOct 24, 20181 votes

His skin looks like pay to win. He goes invisible in his final moments in ultimate.

And his R also has the same looks as his E, making it harder to avoid if you are in his R.

Snake PlizzkenNov 26, 20181 votes

how about the fact that ist pay to win throw the silence at any minion in range of the adc or support and it will go straight to the champion and then to the other no randomness at all

Agent CorgiNov 26, 20181 votes

That happens no matter which skin Fiddlesticks uses. I currently have [168,250MP - Mastery 7] on Fiddlesticks (2nd Highest out of all the Champions I've played) & play him exclusively as a Support, I can tell you for a fact that this applies to All of his skins.

Believe it or not, I can toss my [E: Dark Wind] & it will bounce to enemies hiding in unwarded bushes.

Fiddlesticks is an Extremely Old Champion & currently is listed as a High Priority Rework. Sure I love Fiddlesticks the way he is, but he is Dire need of an update.
