Even though I don't think fiddle has any bad skins, I really think his best one (after the surprise party fiddle) is the basic one. It's effects are amazing, the scarecrow and jumpscare fantasy is on point, everything in his base skin is just so good, and also it's literally free, just buy the champion with blue essence and you're good to go
I have 4 skins on him, inculding the surprise party one. And while I agree it's awesome, but it robs the charachter of any fear factor so I still preffer the OG fiddle
@@wariat71you clearly love surprise parties then because that skin scares me more than the trailer for fid’s rework. This is not a meme i am 1000% serious
The bouncing crow was what made fiddle support so viable. Was it busted to use? Yep, enchanter supports SEETHED at it but I loved it. He can still be used support but it's a bit harder to perform
Union Jack Fiddlesticks will always have a place in my heart simply because it is the only skin in the game where I can write "BREXIT !" in the all chat and make the enemy team run away.
Hiia, fiddlesticks main here, I agree wholeheartedly with these rankings, only issue Dark candy looked worse with the red eyes, it was just a little to much, I really prefer the hollow eye sockets
@@jasonmiller2379 But that's what the original skin was, the pre-rework splash art looked like jack skellington got candy poured into his skeleton body, so it makes sense for him to look like that
@@TheSkullkid777I understand that the hollow eyes are more faithful to the original and that’s why fiddle mains requested it changed, and I respect Riot for actually listening for once, but I as a fiddle Main myself much preferred the red eyes as I also think it made that skin POP and was very intense.
I have both praetorian and Suprise party, but part of me often goes back to using risen since I just wanna hear those glorious base Voicelines- the Animal impressions, the repeating of dead people’s mutterings… wonderful stuff.
I really, truly never noticed the crossed arms on Risen Fiddlesticks. Honestly that bumps it up a lot. But also the crows swapped with the legendary flesh eating scarabs of The Mummy with Brendan Fraser™ are a cool touch.
I can't even begin to describe how big my grin was when I saw this vid pop up... Being a fiddle main and absolutelly LOVING fiddle it makes me happy to see we have simular tastes in his skins.
I knew Surprise Party was a fantastic skin when you used his laugh with an explosion effect for a gag in a past video and that had me crying of laughter for a solid 10 minutes, a definite 10/10 *clapping*
I wish they would base more skins around concepts for fiddle. Specifically if they based some skins around common phobias. We already have clowns (surprise party) and ghosts (spectral), so maybe some skins based on snakes, spiders, maybe a weird water/drowning one (you could say fiddle me Timbers does this but I don’t think it goes into the water motif enough), injections, disease, etc… Problem is riot doesn’t really release out of place skins anymore, they’re usually released in a pack, so probably never will be realized
YES! MY BOY! _Also Union Jack is one of the best skin he has because he got a mustache, a monocle and a bowler and if you disagree with me i will personally go talk to Mr. Rito Games himself to ban your account for having a different opinion than mine >:(_ Anyway love your vids, keep up the good work, you're definitely one of the best creators i've seen on this platform.
Good as fiddlesticks skins are. I am too in love with the base skin. It's one of those cases where I just love how the default looks so much I've never wanted a skin for the character. His redesgin was just perfection.
I feel like part of the reason he has such a good skin catalog is that he has such a unique and interesting design that it's almost impossible to make him look boring. Definitely one of my top 10 character designs from all media in general.
As someone who used to collect robot skins, I'm still right there with you on Praetorian. It's an interesting departure in approach to basically every other mecha/robot/etc. skin line they've done, and the weird digital soundscape of the replaced VO is a nice change of pace from just a tinny filter over the existing lines. Hope it gets another try someday!
I had a chat with a certain rioter who was the product leader of Star Nemesis Fiddle. I told her I used base tier skins because the sound design on his ultimate is so good and terrifying the higher tier skins lacked the sensation for me. This was around time they announced they were making a skin for him but didn't tell us what it is. She said valid criticism and thanks. When it came out it was so good and horrifying I reached out to her again to thank her for it. To this day I still mostly only use Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks.
As a Fiddle main, I basically exactly agree with your list tbh, very good takes. Only change I'd make is swap Praetorian and Dark Candy. I love the robot particles so much
Surprise party is also great because of the custom home screen music that came with it back in the day. I still go back and listen to it once in a while.
info from fiddle's main: spectral is pay to lose - you are visible during tfs for enemies 0/10 risen gives ur effigies sound of oracle predator gives ur effigies visual effect of oracle imo union skin is the best one, but i use risen/predator to make allies feel more comfortable
I love suprise party fiddlestick's dance, which has a legit sick beat. I was playing with a friend with a music ekko skin and we lined it up right for the two songs to merge at one point
Fiddlesticks is the champ that got me into League back in 2012, first thing I ever bought for this game was Dark Candy Fiddlesticks during it's first Christmas release. Still one of my favorite skins
Dark Candy was changed during the PBE cycle because the general feedback was that people wanted it too look MORE like the old version of the skin. Hence the removal of the eyes and the return of the hollow head. Agree or disagree it was the reason v0v
fiddle is one of those champs that makes getting autofilled less painful. i may be forced to be a summoners rift baby sitter but atleast i get to be a little silly and look really cool in the process
I personally really like Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks only because of the sound effects. They're so screechy, like scratching a chalkboard, and that sound fits perfectly on a skin like Fiddlesticks.
Fiddle has one of the best batting averages when it comes to the quality of his skins. Also, thank you finally someone else that wants to see the praetorian line expanded.
2:50 Tobias Fiddlesticks is top tier Gremlins' franchise skin. Best crossover. 11/10 Jokes aside. I KNEW Surprise Party was going to be Top 1, and always knew that skin was awesome and one of the best skins of this game!
I like spectral fiddlesticks a lot more than I should, I use it a lot more than surprise party fiddlesticks. I just think the blue hue is so pleasing to the eye and the particle effects are nice, I'm a sucker for the ghost glow ^^
My first skin ever was spectral fiddlestick during season 3 on a halloween discount with the free RP they gave me for creating the account (remember that? i member), even though I now have surprise party fiddlesticks I still every now and then switch to spectral cause of nostalgia but also because it really is a great skin (especially for the price) and it fits fiddlestick so well
As someone who has mained Fiddlesticks since before any stats sites even began recording stats, Pumpkin was and is my favorite. Not because of any special or flashy- just because it was the first skin I ever got for him, I got on it on my birthday with birfday riot point card and I picked it cuz fiddle was my fav champ and halloween was my fav holiday. At this point I own *almost* all of fiddle skins. The only ones I don't own are Star Guardian (because I absolutely loathe bowties, and that is literally it) and the ones no longer available for purchase and acquirable only through random lootboxes.
As far as which ones I use? I more or less randomly oscillate between Pumpkin, Spectral, Praetorian (using the green Chroma), and vanilla. I don't like Surprise party's voice, though I do agree the skin is good- the voice just grates on me. The others are mostly too plain, and I never really liked the egyptian theme.
As a fidd main, my absolute favorites to use are pumpkin head and Risen. Pumpkin head is just so simple but works so well, i love the gothic scythe and robe, and the detail about his demon stuff being replaced by thorny vines is so cool. Risen is just so sick i love it. The sand effects and his look in general i adore there. Funnily enough i dislike preatorean because of the lack of voice lines, as i mainly play league for the characters, and i play it with voices on max volume, so it sucks not being able to hear any of his, although it makes sense with the skinline!
when he was reworked, i hoped for him to be goofy murder clown, then the reveal trailer came and i saw they went the total opposite way, shying away from the goofball that fiddle sometimes was, until i saw the festive fiddle, it was all i hoped for the character, definitely one of the best skins of all time no doubt
lets goo fiddle!, now you just have to do lillia and you've done my 3 most played champs, "ivern" "lillia" "fiddle". though lillia only having two skins, makes it not much of a video sadly maybe in 10 years heh.
Fiddlesticks after rework became one of my favorite champs and he became meta proof. Like he is almost everytime S tier in every patch jungle tier list but he never gets targeted for nerfs, if you are good with him you will do good but he is not a champ that is braindead to the point that everyone can use him autofill. An OTP dream.
I have several of fiddlesticks' skins, but if I'm being honest... i honestly feel like his base and bandito variants just rock his asethetic too hard to pick anything else. I pull out praetorian here and there. But suprise part and star nemesis and the candy one are just too colorful i think for this character. They just nailed his design too goddamn hard for the base skin. Love this champ :)
I love basically all of fiddle's skins, only one I'm missing is union jack, so not a huge loss. I think legendary dark star fiddlesticks would be awesome though (even though I think its implied star nemesis is already from the dark star universe, like how odyssey kayn turns into dark star rhaast in red form), turning him into a black hole with his ultimate, and mocking skin lines like star guardian, odyssey, or other cosmic/dark star instead of base lore.
I ended up getting all the Fiddle skins before his rework, and the joke between me and my friends is that Union Jack was the best one because it was the only one I hadn't gotten.
Risen is an amazing skin, probably my favourite since Guardian of the Sands is my guilty pleasure. But the biggest problem it has is definitely its claw. The jade staff is a really good replacement for the scythe, but its scorpion stinger thingy replacing its claw is not good at all. It's so small that it looks like it has one middle finger instead of a stinger. They should've either gone all the way and made it a lot bigger, or stick to some 3 finger claw which as some golden armor would've looked amazing too.
Praetorian Fiddlesticks is the only skin I have for him, but I wouldnt put it below any other skin besides surprise party. Its a perfect fusion of what fiddlesticks already is and something akin to battlecast, my favorite skinline of all time. What can I say? I love a good killer robot. Fiddlesticks existing animations are perfect for it, too. A machine wouldn't really care about looking human. Perhaps its initial design had it appearing similar, but the utility of being able to bend all your limbs in whatever direction you need to outweighs the need to look nice. As viktor always says: function over form. I could complain for like an hour about humanoid robot skins, like nasus and graves and mecha kingdoms, but... I'm not here to write an essay.
hear me out praetorian fiddle is a 10/10 the morbid/funny recall amazing, visual and voice efffects and my favorite part listen to the effigy placing sound it sounds so satisfying
Surprise party always was my n2 choice. Before rework, I loved the bandito one. Because. Big Hat. Now its notnthere anymore. I was sad. But now there is the Pumpkin. Its big head. Big Pumpkin Head. I just love it
As fiddle main, part of the subreddit, and playing before the rework..... My personal list goes Bandito, surprise party, risen, preatorian, star guardian, dark candy, spectral, pumpkin head, fiddle me timbers, and union jack. I 100% agree with your ratings and decisions, there are obvious better skins that riot did amazingly.....personally tho I just have fond memories or 'style' I guess? Bandito is my favorite bcuz he actually has high noon effects (that I love) and would argue fits the base particle effects better...also he has double hand cannons and a sombrero, that's just hilarious to think he's terrifying those poor farmers. No need to discuss surprise party, we all understand. Risen and preatorian were the OG pro fiddle players, if y'all remember old fiddle in aram and I saw an enemy fiddle with these on and like a million mastery points(you do not fear until you experienced that, not even a fed illaoi or tone or anyone was as scary as these players) I only use them if I'm tryharding exclusively. Spectral and dark candy are DEFINITELY underrated and should be worn more often but we know why it's not.... Star nemesis is good and even got a cool story but personally I can't get onboard with the sound effects and pitch(idk hurts my ears sometimes type shit). And lastly, pirate pumpkin and jack, all amazing splash arts but nothing special. Of course base skin is goated and no hate for any of these, I keep playing league bcuz I loved this rework so much. It was everything I wanted from shaco but not evelynn cuz I'm a casual shitter probably gold :) Ty for the video❤ I know we're talking about it on Reddit already
Ive been thinking for a while that Fiddle would benefit the msot from a dark star legendary. The whole concept was suppose to originate from a cosmic horror lens and htne it divulged into "Throw a black hole on it and fucking done :)" But like...imagine Fiddle's ult with proper dark star particle effects. Imagine what the black hole aesthetic could do to a champion who's whole shit is to get you to stay in the same place so he can give you the SUCC like its so fucking how has this not happened already i feel unoriginal asf for eiven thinking itioawefasfdzsdvarehsrethdtyj
Union Jack is the only fiddle skin I use because he’s bri’ish. It’s terrifying
Still have nightmares about them
thank god england and british people aren't real
He even has the bri'ish teeth
He can stab you out of nowhere
But his ult only works when you say extremely British stuff.
Like uncle Sam Ryze.
Fiddlesticks is one of those champs that has so many good skins that it hurts to chose one over the other.
Even his base form is good
true
does it hurt to choose between union jack and surprise party?
@@bau9894yes, bri’ish fiddlesticks very scary
@@TheRedGauntlet am i the only one who thinks the base skin is the only one that has the feel of the demon its meant to be?
Easily one of the best reworks of all time with a sick Theme. I loved Fliddle me Timbers, and I still do.
Fellow Fiddle me Timbers Enjoyer
@@HalfOtaku Same here.
I do enjoy that Nickyboi has one patron holding a whip at all times

@@BowserisOKyo wtf
@@marcusjohnson8649 genuinely curious. Why so? I feel surprise party fiddlesticks is pretty good and cool and stuff but I don't find him scary
I feel Fiddle has some opportunities for creative designs. This gangly freak is amazing.
I still miss the bouncing crow tho
The bouncing crow was what made fiddle support so viable. Was it busted to use? Yep, enchanter supports SEETHED at it but I loved it. He can still be used support but it's a bit harder to perform
Fiddlesticks, first of ten... amazing skins
End of men:)
Fidle referbce
Union Jack Fiddlesticks will always have a place in my heart simply because it is the only skin in the game where I can write "BREXIT !" in the all chat and make the enemy team run away.
I hope this channel grows cuz the content and editing and the addition of memes makes things very enjoyable
Hiia, fiddlesticks main here, I agree wholeheartedly with these rankings, only issue Dark candy looked worse with the red eyes, it was just a little to much, I really prefer the hollow eye sockets
the red eyes made him pop
the hollow sockets just make me think he's Jack Skelington
@@jasonmiller2379 But that's what the original skin was, the pre-rework splash art looked like jack skellington got candy poured into his skeleton body, so it makes sense for him to look like that
Yeah the hollow sockets are more faithful to the original skin, which looked very charming back then
@@TheSkullkid777I understand that the hollow eyes are more faithful to the original and that’s why fiddle mains requested it changed, and I respect Riot for actually listening for once, but I as a fiddle Main myself much preferred the red eyes as I also think it made that skin POP and was very intense.
Out of all of Fiddle's skins, Surprise Party really takes the cake.
...I'll be leaving now.
That was some Rick rolled energy and we can't stop laughing
The fact he remarked Leona’s skins the day before Leona received a mythic skin is absolutely hilarious
I have both praetorian and Suprise party, but part of me often goes back to using risen since I just wanna hear those glorious base Voicelines- the Animal impressions, the repeating of dead people’s mutterings… wonderful stuff.
I really, truly never noticed the crossed arms on Risen Fiddlesticks. Honestly that bumps it up a lot.

I love how Nicky is putting Tobias like a crazy funny goblin in some of his videos. Love for both
Fiddle's rework did wonder for all of his old skins, and the new Star Guardian shows the potential of skins for this champion
I knew Surprise Party was a fantastic skin when you used his laugh with an explosion effect for a gag in a past video and that had me crying of laughter for a solid 10 minutes, a definite 10/10 *clapping*

Thanks for the video, this has become some of my favorite league content on here. Keep it up!
praetorian fiddlesticks almost feels like a legendary with how different the voice and effects are, I absolutely adore this skin
I feel like part of the reason he has such a good skin catalog is that he has such a unique and interesting design that it's almost impossible to make him look boring. Definitely one of my top 10 character designs from all media in general.
My favorite thing is how some Fiddle skins feel like canon versions of him in different Runeterra regions.
what i love about surprise party fiddle, above all else, is the music when you dance, i just vibe with it
As someone who used to collect robot skins, I'm still right there with you on Praetorian. It's an interesting departure in approach to basically every other mecha/robot/etc. skin line they've done, and the weird digital soundscape of the replaced VO is a nice change of pace from just a tinny filter over the existing lines.

base fiddle should get number 2 and you can move union jack to number 11
This is an incredible video. We need a serie from this. A to Z.
"Its supposed to look scary, but it just looks silly" is the best description for the british I ever heard
Union Jack is literally splash vs in game meme. In splash you have literal monster from deeper nightmare, meanwhile in you get British Morax
Surprise party is also great because of the custom home screen music that came with it back in the day. I still go back and listen to it once in a while.
info from fiddle's main:
spectral is pay to lose - you are visible during tfs for enemies 0/10
risen gives ur effigies sound of oracle
predator gives ur effigies visual effect of oracle
imo union skin is the best one, but i use risen/predator to make allies feel more comfortable
It’s amazing that most of his skins have different sound effects
I love suprise party fiddlestick's dance, which has a legit sick beat.
I was playing with a friend with a music ekko skin and we lined it up right for the two songs to merge at one point
Fiddlesticks is the champ that got me into League back in 2012, first thing I ever bought for this game was Dark Candy Fiddlesticks during it's first Christmas release. Still one of my favorite skins
Surprise Party Fiddlesticks cranks that Soulja Boy with his dance.
It's the dictionary definition of perfection
Dark Candy was changed during the PBE cycle because the general feedback was that people wanted it too look MORE like the old version of the skin.
Hence the removal of the eyes and the return of the hollow head.
Agree or disagree it was the reason v0v
Fiddlesticks is high among my "I don't play them, but I still love them" champions.
I am a risen Fiddlesticks enjoyer, Guardian of the Sands is a pleasure of mine ever since grabbing the Kha skin years and years ago.
I honestly love Ghostly one so much, it's so pulpy and classic that it goes into really compelling.
fiddle is one of those champs that makes getting autofilled less painful. i may be forced to be a summoners rift baby sitter but atleast i get to be a little silly and look really cool in the process
you doing my boi Union Jack Fiddle dirty. We're just goin in with style with that skin bruv ain't no problem with it being Bri'ish.
I personally really like Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks only because of the sound effects. They're so screechy, like scratching a chalkboard, and that sound fits perfectly on a skin like Fiddlesticks.
Kind of disappointed you didn't show off the music for surprise party fiddlesticks. Guess I'll go play him now to hear it
You forgot the TRUE best part of surprise party. Unique dance with music
I hope Kitrin asks for a larger skin pool so we can see the disappointment on Nicky's voice
I have been waiting for this one in a while
Fiddle has one of the best batting averages when it comes to the quality of his skins. Also, thank you finally someone else that wants to see the praetorian line expanded.
We all know surprise party is good but we all go back to pumpkin head fiddlesticks if we can. Peak Skin design
2:50 Tobias Fiddlesticks is top tier Gremlins' franchise skin. Best crossover. 11/10
Jokes aside. I KNEW Surprise Party was going to be Top 1, and always knew that skin was awesome and one of the best skins of this game!
rissen fiddlesticks old recall was one of the best and creepiest recalls i miss it
risen fiddlesticks is my favorite one, i loved the whole guardian of the sands line in general but fiddles was my fav from that line
I like spectral fiddlesticks a lot more than I should, I use it a lot more than surprise party fiddlesticks. I just think the blue hue is so pleasing to the eye and the particle effects are nice, I'm a sucker for the ghost glow ^^

The thing is I like using the skins that don’t replace animations or recall sometimes because this base stuff is just that cool
I love everything about surprise party fiddle….except for the sound on his drain. Something about the noise really gets on my nerves after a while.
For a champ who started out as a generic goofy ah scarecrow, Fiddle sure fits a lot of themes and aesthetics.
when he was reworked, i hoped for him to be goofy murder clown, then the reveal trailer came and i saw they went the total opposite way, shying away from the goofball that fiddle sometimes was, until i saw the festive fiddle, it was all i hoped for the character, definitely one of the best skins of all time no doubt
I love fiddles voice lines in Surprise Party
GIVE ME THE JUUUUUICE
I am still baffled how riot haven't gave a fiddlesticks skin where he is just a rag doll filled with hay and call it weeddlestick
lets goo fiddle!, now you just have to do lillia and you've done my 3 most played champs, "ivern" "lillia" "fiddle". though lillia only having two skins, makes it not much of a video sadly maybe in 10 years heh.
the only thing I dislike about surprise party is that because they changed his e his balloon animal had to go too. miss you little pupper
union jack fiddlesticks turns him from a league champion into an average british person. 10/10
I love surprise party fiddle but the only reason I tend to use pumpkin head more is because I love the base fiddle voice lines
Man the joke about a robot eating a blue bird aged like fine wine
Finally my boy Fiddle gets the review! Surprise party fiddle is easily one of the best skins in the game imo
Fiddlesticks after rework became one of my favorite champs and he became meta proof.

Dark candy fiddlesticks is very terrifying it give me eye trauma when i look at it
Fiddle is my main lets go!!!!
Also Surprise Party is a 10/10 skin I already know. (Nicky I will boil your figurines if it isnt)
I ended up getting all the Fiddle skins before his rework, and the joke between me and my friends is that Union Jack was the best one because it was the only one I hadn't gotten.
one day surprise fiddle will get beat as it is ageing, but all the voice lines are the main star for the skin for me. They are so charming
3.5 out of the 4 champions in the next batch of Shan Hai scrolls skins will be monsters
Risen is an amazing skin, probably my favourite since Guardian of the Sands is my guilty pleasure.
But the biggest problem it has is definitely its claw. The jade staff is a really good replacement for the scythe, but its scorpion stinger thingy replacing its claw is not good at all. It's so small that it looks like it has one middle finger instead of a stinger. They should've either gone all the way and made it a lot bigger, or stick to some 3 finger claw which as some golden armor would've looked amazing too.

"I would rank it 11 out of 10 if i could" damn, way to bury the skin down XD
I couldn't handle the bit with fiddle me timbers fiddlesticks xD
hear me out praetorian fiddle is a 10/10 the morbid/funny recall amazing, visual and voice efffects and my favorite part listen to the effigy placing sound it sounds so satisfying
i cant believe you would jumpscare me like this nicky

I will always love Fiddle Me Timbers the most
my love my fiddlesticks. how i adore what you have become
Surprise party always was my n2 choice. Before rework, I loved the bandito one. Because. Big Hat. Now its notnthere anymore. I was sad.
But now there is the Pumpkin. Its big head. Big Pumpkin Head. I just love it
Really like pumpkin fiddlesticks, but if they changed his colors from red to orange and all the crows to pumpkins that would be cool
I prefer Dark Candy without the glowing red eyes, it’s more in line with the spirit of how the skin was pre-rework and that’s appreciated.
As fiddle main, part of the subreddit, and playing before the rework..... My personal list goes Bandito, surprise party, risen, preatorian, star guardian, dark candy, spectral, pumpkin head, fiddle me timbers, and union jack.
I 100% agree with your ratings and decisions, there are obvious better skins that riot did amazingly.....personally tho I just have fond memories or 'style' I guess? Bandito is my favorite bcuz he actually has high noon effects (that I love) and would argue fits the base particle effects better...also he has double hand cannons and a sombrero, that's just hilarious to think he's terrifying those poor farmers. No need to discuss surprise party, we all understand. Risen and preatorian were the OG pro fiddle players, if y'all remember old fiddle in aram and I saw an enemy fiddle with these on and like a million mastery points(you do not fear until you experienced that, not even a fed illaoi or tone or anyone was as scary as these players) I only use them if I'm tryharding exclusively. Spectral and dark candy are DEFINITELY underrated and should be worn more often but we know why it's not.... Star nemesis is good and even got a cool story but personally I can't get onboard with the sound effects and pitch(idk hurts my ears sometimes type shit). And lastly, pirate pumpkin and jack, all amazing splash arts but nothing special.
Of course base skin is goated and no hate for any of these, I keep playing league bcuz I loved this rework so much. It was everything I wanted from shaco but not evelynn cuz I'm a casual shitter probably gold :)
Ty for the video❤ I know we're talking about it on Reddit already
Ive been thinking for a while that Fiddle would benefit the msot from a dark star legendary. The whole concept was suppose to originate from a cosmic horror lens and htne it divulged into "Throw a black hole on it and fucking done :)" But like...imagine Fiddle's ult with proper dark star particle effects. Imagine what the black hole aesthetic could do to a champion who's whole shit is to get you to stay in the same place so he can give you the SUCC like its so fucking how has this not happened already i feel unoriginal asf for eiven thinking itioawefasfdzsdvarehsrethdtyj
Cant wait for some patreon to request ezreal/lux/mf
praetorian fid always reminded me of it being based off an eva, but the purple chroma solidified it, since its def EVA-01
even the pink chroma and red one could be argued as them being based off eva's as well
Honestly, I am here to listen to Nicky more than league content. He is funny
As somebody who listens to only pirate music, fiddle me timbers is 11/10
