/dev: The Latest on Fiddlesticks' VGU

Animations team usually produce exceptional content, but this I dare say is out of this world. I'm in love, as an ancient Fiddle player (mained in 2012) I've imagined things about this champ but I could never even in my wildest dreams think of this. The run caught my eye, the ulti got my awe, and then I heard the sound clip...

thank you rito

Seeing Fiddle's sneak peak made me regret even more they didn't settle down for my one true love Eldritch Volibear.

Those creatives truly left me baffled. It's simply... Perfect. The art and especially the animation team outdid themselves this time around.

Moreover, Fiddle's maintaining both his point and click fear and his ultimate, which is an extremely good sign. They're not turning him into something unrecognizable.

Also, if my theory about their hints is correct, fiddle has a mechanic that spawns copies of himself in idle animation around the map, so that the enemies are unsure whether or not that's an effigy or the real deal. And that's pretty darn cool.

i just hope they dont make the champ op. a fear and a silence is a powerful combination. the champ is just so outdated and bad currently that he cant do much with it. so to make him viable in season 10, he has to be some overloaded op maxhp% damage fuck.

I'm not a fan of the chest burster always trying to claw out, and actually managing in the locomotion and attacks of Fiddlesticks. I think it heavily detracts from Fiddlesticks as being this eldritch effigy, and turns him into a demon Gundam. Fiddlesticks needs to be the scary scarecrow, not this thing that simply lives in his chest.

This is seriously horrific and amazing.

I started this game years ago just to play Voli and at this point i am 100x more excited for the Fidds rework over Voli.

This is amazing and just about everything I wanted from this VGU. There was one single complaint I had with the dev blog, and that was that it sounds like the roadmap is not gonna announce any new VGUs... kinda sad.

I'm so fucking glad I voted for him. This is literally everything I wanted from his VGU and more.

I’m hoping he’s got some connection to Swain’s demon that gives him powers. That’d be interesting.

Thus far I am quite amazed and excited! Fiddle is even more unsettling and eerie, everything I could have hoped for! I’m interested to see how the rest of the kit turns out

Thank you Riot, so far so good!

As stated in another comment... would be really neat if the ult created some kind of shroud effect around the edges (or some type of screen effect), like a blind. Then while in the ult, all you can hear is distorted wailing and screams.

Absolutely loving it as a horror fan. I hope his sound effects don't fall flat though.

This VGU could put him back into my played champ rotation.. it looks amazing

I am waiting to see how his skins come out looking with the new graphics..

Congratulations, this thread popped up when I searched "league of legends news", right next to the real news outlets. You're on google.

Holy shit this looks awesome :D

Does that mean that we will get thread about how Fiddle is not hot enough for you ?

FSRER1/14/2020, 7:27:57 PM1 votes

It is very well done for everything except the ultimate. I like the animation when he charges the ultimate but the crowstorm is too much Swain to simply pass like that. Personally, I would prefer if the ultimate did not go red and it stayed the original color...idk tho, it might be just me

Nice. I am not particularly into horror (although I do like Morde/SI champs but they aren't scary to me).

His ult is fucking amazing.
