Im 100% sure fiddle and voli mains are actually really scared of whats about to happen. The only ones who are excited are the people who don't really play fiddle or voli and have nothing to lose :).
This post feels like a taunt/kick in the balls to these mains.
Don't congrat them so early lol. You don't even know what they will do to them yet. Their rework might just be another akali, who is extremely strong when come out then nerfed to the ground.
Dang. I wanted Nocturne to be reworked. Still, democracy has spoken so I feel the result is correct and therefore I am content with the outcome. I think these polls are a really good way to make this kind of decision and I hope to see many more such polls in the future.
Since Fiddlesticks won in the poll, Riot, checkout these rework inspiration concepts: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/zXb2beHa-fiddlesticks-rework-inspiration-ideas
Also checkout this one since I think I was subconsciously inspired by it when writing my rework inspiration ideas: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/MqfWt9k8-idea-for-fiddlesticks-reworkwarning-spooky
On the one hand, I'm happy to see some outdated champions getting full on updates. Especially Fiddle, this guy has been in need of some TLC since forever.
On the other hand however, I have minimal faith that the essence and identity of these champions will be properly maintained while their kits are modernised. The initial comments regarding Fiddlededee look promising, with a wish to maintain his ambusher style and up his spookiness. Great, that's what I want to hear. But as it stands right now, they are merely wishful words on the lips of an eager designer. As the months go on we'll see if this remains the case, and I really hope it does. I think there's some serious potential to make Fiddlededah something seriously special.
I can't make similar comments regarding Voli, I've never been hugely interested in him like Fiddle. I can only hope for the sake of his dedicated mains he becomes something they are happy with.
I wouldn't celebrate just yet. I don't trust Riot's reworks anymore. It's either a good portion of the players who main the champs hate the rework, or the champ gets nerfed to the ground from being too strong AND a good portion of old mains hate the rework.
Everybody Wins!
I'm not happy about it as a 
player. If someone told you new fiddle would be an assasin with gap closer and the zed ult normally you'd be like wtf that's Bullshit. But being riot you know in your mind this is a possible scenario. If i wanted to play Zed i'd play zed keep him off my fiddle. On that note we want a 
level rework not a 
. Again if we wanted to play a different champion we'd play a different champion. Just my 2 cents though i'm honestly feeling negative about it because i notice people just want to see new things and care not for the damage that mentality leaves behind. I'm happy for the 
though he definitely needed it the most out of the whole list, but second most would have been 
i would think.
I had a hard time choosing between the two as they both needed a rework in my eyes and I enjoyed both of them equally while i played them
i chose fiddle as his gameplay is so one dimensional and boring while voli had "some" gameplay behind his kit
I am glad they are both being chosen as they seem to really care about them and want them to be what they always should
