I know it's kinda late saying this, but it's kind of true in his wild rift passive. When he participates in killing a champion or epic monster, they become a scarecrow that fears other enemy champions
When they bring Fiddle to LoR, I want him to be a Runeterra champ and I want all of his followers to just be the various forms of Fiddle from around Runeterra.
They should have been that with Evelyn becuse she is a shape shifter so all her followers could have been her at diffrent times and it is such Evelyn recalling what happened
@@dankmemes8254 That, and any non-Fiddle cards that summon Effigies, like Eve's origin. His level up could be having 6 Fearsome units on board at once, assuming Effigies are Fearsome.
One of the things about Fiddle that I adore is that, unlike other playable demons in League, he doesn't seem to present any kind of sapient intelligence, acting more like some kind of animal. Not only helps to give the idea of being a primordial entity, but is directly related to the possible origins of fear in nature (being an emotion that warns us of a possible danger, like a predator stalking us). So the concept of creating a being that acts like a hungry animal, who feeds on the same archaic sensation that its presence generates, is so cool and interesting for me.
@@berilsevvalbekret772 I believe Fiddle must be more intelligent than we're led to believe. It's one of the primordial entities after all, it's had an infinite amount of time to gather knowledge. Probably one of the most powerful ones too: fear is certain. Even the brave fear. It probably puts on a facade of wild derangement, with much more beneath the surface that we don't see. It's cunning: it knows each creature's deepest fears as soon as it comes across it. It's constantly teasing its prey.
There´s something i love about how fiddlesticks made its own "body". The demon does not understand the world around it, it doesn´t need to since all it needs is sustenance, and thus it crafted a vessel that is "trying" to resemble a human but it ends up being so uncanny and so malformed that in return creates fear. This also comes along with it´s voicelines. There´s not a voice of it´s own, but rather pure imitation, mimicking the victims´s last words before it teared them apart, whether that was a human or an animal. Fiddlesticks is by far one of the best glowups a champion has ever received in all the game, he went from a goofy nobody to one of the most dangerous demons roaming runeterra.Fiddle hits that sweet spot of uncanny valley and i adore it so so much. And like you said, kellen goff did an AMAZING job at doing fiddle´s voicelines, man´s got some range! To think that he also voiced several freddy incarnations from fnaf makes me appreciate it even more. -oh GOD the atrocious french lady is next, god help us all :s-
I fucking love Fiddle with all my being. It also gives me hope that they could work a miracle on Nocturne, and we could have TWO nightmare fuel demons on League. Also, WHERE IS OUR FIDDLESTICKS HORROR GAME RIOT, WE NEED IT
It does hurt a bit that fiddle is overlooked in horro designs just because he’s from League of Legends. He has amazing design, great lore and he is Kellen Goff’s Best Preformance (fight me!)
Kellen did a topnotch job as funtime and glamrock freddy and some anime characters... but fiddle is by far the best character he´s voiced yet. To think he did VA for normal fiddle AND surprise party is -chefkiss-
I wonder if Nicky planned the review for Fiddle to be the first Friday of October for the spooks of Halloween Probably not but still a funny coincidence
Wish I had put it in the Street demons RFSR, but Fiddlesticks could fit in there as a collection of those Yo-Kai that inhabit junk, working as a collective to build Fiddlesticks, but all of the junk is old painting equipment like spray cans, gas masks, long armed paint rollers. I think you could create a great design from that
Fiddlesticks is the entire reason I started playing league of legends. I saw the trailer for his rework and I was hooked immediately. I thought “what is that and how do I play it”
i love your videos so much! all the info youre causally giving while playing a chaotic aram game is just ✨ and the cut offs your own rage cursing is cherry on top 🤣🤣🤣 10:54 this second "draven you bastard" made me laugh my ass off omg 💀🤣
When doing the fiddlesticks voice you breath in and have to modulate your voice from high to low for emphasis. You also can do the end part of his quote “first of ten” by breathing out while speaking to do a raspy short of breath like voice. I literally practiced doing that for months to get close to his version but my voice is to naturally low to do it completely the same.
other thing is that outside of very few patches, fiddle has almost never been changed, buffed or nerfed after his rework and he is consistantly on the top 15 junglers every patch without feeling either oppresive or weak, one of the best champs to otp and climb as he is pretty good but not so overwhelmingly so to be on the radar for nerfs
Fiddle's effigies need a little buff like Neeko passive... Imagine if the effigies start Back before disappear or moving not just when a ennemi see them, like Kalista's Z
I have a feeling Kellen Goff used a technique that heavy metal singers use where they vibrate air higher in the throat to keep from causing damage to the vocal cords. I am not sure what the technique is called but it is how most metal artists keep a career and dont kill their vocal cords in a year.
and now in wild rift fiddlesticks can move while he is using w for the succ, and also hid effigies is no longer a wards, basically when he kills somebody they turn into an efigy and if the efigy dies it will explode dealing aoe magic damage like teemo's mushrooms
Yooo finnaly my "semi" main, or i guess main jungle champ. I loved fiddle since his reword, i always enjoyed his horror theme, and the chaos. His desing is absolutly perfect, for me at least he represents the perfect demon. Thanks for playing him, love your opinion on him!
Fiddle’s one of those characters I love the design of that I’m perpetually wishing I could play them well and specifically as an Ap Toplane/midlaner- the pressure to help the whole team out and the threat of invasion strongly dissuades me from jungle but fid’s also *So cool* and I wish he was easier to do stuff with, his damage numbers feel painfully low when you’re not Ulting someone to death Naut is one of the others in that role, I hate how he’s a support character nowadays while he’s a murdering juggernaut back in the old new dawn cinematic
Hey nicky, you said that fiddle mindgames don't work in high elo I had a ranked game in masters yesturday where a fiddle just stood still in the middle of the lane and got a huge ult won game instantly
im not sure if this was covered in another video but on the topic of demons i feel as if briar should have been a demon rather than another boring monster only because there is a slot on the demonic compendium called " frenzy " and no champion other than her fits that description to a T. Its a really huge missed opportunity but its too late to do anything about it
Okay, theory time: You know how "Fiddlesticks" is a minced oath in our world, like someone says it when they want to say a swear word but don't? In Runeterra it's the opposite. People use "Fiddlesticks!" as a strong swear word, (like invoking the Devil's name).
I hope that when they rework Nocturne they give him the same treatment as Fidlesticks, they could even make him more powerful and make him part of the 10 demons
I'd argue that if there's any champion that deserves to be a part of the Ten, it would be Shaco. Nocturne already has his Freddy Krueger thing going on, and Demon of Nightmares isn't really primordial, and is just an extension of Fear.
He looks like he would sound like breaking bones and grinding steel, something that should not be allowed to move by any stretch of weight, balance or physics. And something that should not be ALLOWED to exist by any right is always scarier.
9:35 my problem is that he actually feels worse than the original, so much in fact that one of his abilities that used to be atlleast neat for damage overtime now is worthless to put a skill point in, they not only didn't fix everything that made mundo work but also made him worse storywise, character design wise(he isn't ugly goofy enough) and gameplaywise, his passiive is the only cool thing he has now. Animation team carried everything else.
Random thought: fiddlesticks is a new flanders-ish replacement for kind people for *another* word.... you know the word. I think *that* word gained so much power from it's use in this world of monsters and gods that it become sentient. A living curse. Ever since runeterrans never speak the word... not even once 😅
I'm on the lower side but for me I like the new one but I enjoyed the old one better. The new one feels like it has a harder time in mid and the drain heals a lot less when draining on enemy. And the new silent just feels to small the old crow bounce was better for farming and harassment in laning phase.again the new one is not bad but it was forced to JG. I just liked old one better and I went from being able to dominate with the old one but now I just can't do much with the new one
I made a 1v1 with a friend in ARAM with blind pick (pick your poison basically) and as the goofy fanatic of Fiddlesticks I am, I picked him. I destroyed his ass...
Sadly for me, Fiddle is one of those champions where I love everything about them, except their gameplay. I want to love playing Fiddle, but they just dont click with me
While I’m 100% going to agree that new Fiddle is the better design, in visuals, in lore… I miss the bouncy crows. I loved Fiddle before the rework and since they took that away, I barely, barely even played him. His gameplay is ruined for me.
random fact: there was once a theory that fiddle's effigies contained the souls of his victims which is how they move when interacted with
I know it's kinda late saying this, but it's kind of true in his wild rift passive. When he participates in killing a champion or epic monster, they become a scarecrow that fears other enemy champions
When they bring Fiddle to LoR, I want him to be a Runeterra champ and I want all of his followers to just be the various forms of Fiddle from around Runeterra.
They should have been that with Evelyn becuse she is a shape shifter so all her followers could have been her at diffrent times and it is such Evelyn recalling what happened
and I want him to use Neeko's disguise keyword to pretend he's an effigy
@novaseer my guess that fiddle deck building is "you may add any card with fearsome on it"
@@dankmemes8254 That, and any non-Fiddle cards that summon Effigies, like Eve's origin.
His level up could be having 6 Fearsome units on board at once, assuming Effigies are Fearsome.
I think they’re more likely to make Fiddle’s followers various victims, honestly

yep! But I always interprited the PartFiddle skin as when Fiddlestick finally gains sentience for lack of a better term

The fact that it matches the scary monster in both ingame with the sigils and lore makes it great. Also exited to see how much Ivern art they'll be
There will be plenty
It's a shame that he will have to play Irelia before Ivern

Braum mentions Fiddlesticks in the Ruined King game. That’s as close as we’ve gotten 😢
omg your right
He should´ve been a cameo in mageseeker, i think lore-wise fiddlesticks is roaming demacia.
Fiddlesticks in DBD could be a great crossover
@@x-nimator9997 There was a letter about him. Sad we didn't encounter him, but the letter was creepy
Fiddle is just so... Uncanny! Nothing, NOTHING about them looks normal, theyre just so mortifyingly uncomprehensible and I love it.

I wonder if Nicky planned the review for Fiddle to be the first Friday of October for the spooks of Halloween
Probably not but still a funny coincidence
finally the casual champion review we've all been waiting for!
FIDDLESTICKS FIRST OF TEN....
FIDDLESTICKS END OF MEN
HIGH ABOVE THE ROTTEN ROWS
11:37 Hahah that was personal
Wish I had put it in the Street demons RFSR, but Fiddlesticks could fit in there as a collection of those Yo-Kai that inhabit junk, working as a collective to build Fiddlesticks, but all of the junk is old painting equipment like spray cans, gas masks, long armed paint rollers.

Love that Nikki took a beat from coughing his lungs out to curse and murder Draven one last time. Absolute chad move.
Fiddlesticks is the entire reason I started playing league of legends. I saw the trailer for his rework and I was hooked immediately. I thought “what is that and how do I play it”
i love your videos so much! all the info youre causally giving while playing a chaotic aram game is just ✨
and the cut offs your own rage cursing is cherry on top 🤣🤣🤣
10:54 this second "draven you bastard" made me laugh my ass off omg 💀🤣
I have been WAITING for this cover Nicky and I'm so glad you think so highly of his rework
What made Fiddle not score a 10 in lore? Genuine question.
*Nickyboi has fed the poro... he lives to see another day...*
I busted out laughing in the middle of the street when you tried to do the voice. It was perfect followed by all the coughing 😂
11:35 Struggling to breath, barely alive, puts every effort he got left to throw some shade at the poor spining boi LOL
When doing the fiddlesticks voice you breath in and have to modulate your voice from high to low for emphasis. You also can do the end part of his quote “first of ten” by breathing out while speaking to do a raspy short of breath like voice. I literally practiced doing that for months to get close to his version but my voice is to naturally low to do it completely the same.
“This is what happens when you don’t have eyeball- AUGHH”
Fiddle is literally the embodiment of a horror beyond human comprehension and I love him (almost as much as Lewis the gator)
You did manage to do a good impresion but then the Coughing nation attacked.
other thing is that outside of very few patches, fiddle has almost never been changed, buffed or nerfed after his rework and he is consistantly on the top 15 junglers every patch without feeling either oppresive or weak, one of the best champs to otp and climb as he is pretty good but not so overwhelmingly so to be on the radar for nerfs
Fiddle's effigies need a little buff like Neeko passive... Imagine if the effigies start Back before disappear or moving not just when a ennemi see them, like Kalista's Z
FIDDLESTICKS!! MY SWEET ANGELIC LITTLE DEMON BABY
I love the effigies because of the high skillcap of blocking skillshots with them
I love ya nicky just for These vids it makes you appreciated as fiddlesticks main!
Man, remember old old Fiddles passive? When you were close to enemies they'd lose like 5 MR. That was it. The old days.
Everything about Fiddle terrifies me, especially the way he walks... so uncanny valley
I have a feeling Kellen Goff used a technique that heavy metal singers use where they vibrate air higher in the throat to keep from causing damage to the vocal cords. I am not sure what the technique is called but it is how most metal artists keep a career and dont kill their vocal cords in a year.
btw the voicelines are 30min of the takes that were *kept*, out of probably 4-6hrs of what was produced.
and now in wild rift fiddlesticks can move while he is using w for the succ, and also hid effigies is no longer a wards, basically when he kills somebody they turn into an efigy and if the efigy dies it will explode dealing aoe magic damage like teemo's mushrooms
"This is what happens when you don't have eyeba-AAH!!"
I love it xĐ
Old Fiddle: Funny sticc man go brrrrr
New Fiddle: fUnNY sTiCc MaN gO bRrRR *fucking kills you*
Yooo finnaly my "semi" main, or i guess main jungle champ. I loved fiddle since his reword, i always enjoyed his horror theme, and the chaos. His desing is absolutly perfect, for me at least he represents the perfect demon. Thanks for playing him, love your opinion on him!
Yo new Thumbnail
Props to nicky for attempting the voice of fiddle. That shit sounds painful to do if not trained
I like how Nicky tried to talk like Fiddlesticks and almost died 😂
Be careful 💜
Old fiddle in aram was so broken, just bouncing E and getting tripples was so funny
as a middlesticks enjoyer till this day i can say it still works
He tried to do the fiddlesticks voice without knowing the cost
I miss the bouncy crow. :(
It can feel bad to not have any teamfight capability outside your Ult.
The fact fiddlesticks is coming to WR is so exciting he is the only ONLY champ i wanted to come to it and he is and im ready to buy/main him
Fiddle’s one of those characters I love the design of that I’m perpetually wishing I could play them well and specifically as an Ap Toplane/midlaner- the pressure to help the whole team out and the threat of invasion strongly dissuades me from jungle but fid’s also *So cool* and I wish he was easier to do stuff with, his damage numbers feel painfully low when you’re not Ulting someone to death
Naut is one of the others in that role, I hate how he’s a support character nowadays while he’s a murdering juggernaut back in the old new dawn cinematic
Mecha Fiddlesticks would be awesome with a death animation they eject from the ship.
Fiddlesticks is so powerful that it almost got Nicky kill at the end
Dinka would probably have the opposite reaction if she saw how many hands Fiddle has
Gotta say, I wasn't a big fan of the rework when I first saw it.
But then I saw how it moved... and sounded. Then I was absolutely sold on it.
its playstyle is so different from any other mage, jungler or even assasin? he feels so unique and fun
Hey nicky, you said that fiddle mindgames don't work in high elo
I had a ranked game in masters yesturday where a fiddle just stood still in the middle of the lane and got a huge ult won game instantly
I remembered the old nickname that my friend and I used to use for him: SuckSticks and PantaSucker
im not sure if this was covered in another video but on the topic of demons i feel as if briar should have been a demon rather than another boring monster only because there is a slot on the demonic compendium called " frenzy " and no champion other than her fits that description to a T. Its a really huge missed opportunity but its too late to do anything about it
Fiddle impression was on point tho
I do wish that Fiddlesticks and Kindred had skins representative of each region of Runeterra if not further.
Okay, theory time: You know how "Fiddlesticks" is a minced oath in our world, like someone says it when they want to say a swear word but don't? In Runeterra it's the opposite. People use "Fiddlesticks!" as a strong swear word, (like invoking the Devil's name).
Wild Rift: We Reworked a Rework.
Fiddlesticks is like playing Spy. You gotta know how to act or you will be detected
We need a coven fiddlesticks skin. Could y’all fuckin imagine “Old God Fiddlesticks”?
Support fidds still feasible?
I hope that when they rework Nocturne they give him the same treatment as Fidlesticks, they could even make him more powerful and make him part of the 10 demons
I'd argue that if there's any champion that deserves to be a part of the Ten, it would be Shaco.
Nocturne already has his Freddy Krueger thing going on, and Demon of Nightmares isn't really primordial, and is just an extension of Fear.
And Fiddlestick is coming to Wild rift after 3 weeks babyyy.
wait, can fiddle not place an fake fiddle when still has his pro snack?
He looks like he would sound like breaking bones and grinding steel, something that should not be allowed to move by any stretch of weight, balance or physics.
And something that should not be ALLOWED to exist by any right is always scarier.
Finally we get to my favorite guy
6:10 👹👹👹
hey nickyboi you have darkharvest and snowball
Bro tried to make fiddle's voice and almost got dead

New Fiddle skin idea, Cage with Goo legs
Fiddlesticks rework is what pushed me to start playing league ;-;
That anivia fan art was perfect, trash bin with the ice wings
Nicky almost fucking dies copying Fiddle voice, that's how powerful the Ancient Fear is
Which skin is this fiddlesticks?
I love my goofy Scarecrow
Your throat okay man?
When we get to the N champions I can't wait for him to do nunu
Thirteeeeeeeeeeeeen, thirteen more chaaaaaaamps
I made a 1v1 with a friend in ARAM with blind pick (pick your poison basically) and as the goofy fanatic of Fiddlesticks I am, I picked him.
I destroyed his ass...
this is why fiddle top is making a comeback XD, its legit offmeta and seemly not bad, he has really good laning
Sadly for me, Fiddle is one of those champions where I love everything about them, except their gameplay. I want to love playing Fiddle, but they just dont click with me
A great way to use Aram to quickly talk about champions with little to no lore as well😂
Neat way to review Shaco for his turn
While I’m 100% going to agree that new Fiddle is the better design, in visuals, in lore…
I miss the bouncy crows. I loved Fiddle before the rework and since they took that away, I barely, barely even played him.
His gameplay is ruined for me.
He got another vgu in wild rift
Id say nunu, but to each there own
6:10
average aram enjoyer
Why does everyone praise fiddle's rework like it's the best rework that has ever happened when all they did was powercreep the fuck out of him
You know that reworks are not only gameplay right? And there's more problematic champions in the game than Fiddle.
i miss the bouncing crows 😢
hitler-sticks 😢
I was hereee
fiddle top
fiddle top
fiddle top lol
Yeah *Nah*
