The Decision Was Yours
Back in 2019, the decision to allow users to vote was made. The vote allowed them the opportunity to choose which champion they would like to see completely revamped in 2020. This vote saw fans of the game choose Fiddlesticks and Volibear as the character that they would love to see have a complete revamp. From the gameplay, visuals, story and animations as well as voice acting, this is all set to change for many who are looking to play the game in 2020.

His Abilities
From what we know so far, several passive and targeting abilities are on offer from this rework. These not only help to scare the enemy but also attack people making him one of the best for those looking to divide and conquer the enemy team.
Below are some of the abilities that the new rework possesses:
A Harmless Scarecrow – The trinket that he once had has now been replaced with effigies. These are activated when enemy champions who approach them. This causes a random action such as an attack. When this has been activated, the effigy then destroys itself. The character can hold up to two effigies at once and the higher level that Fiddlesticks is the cooldown length decreases.
Terrify- When out of combat fiddlesticks abilities can damage the enemy leaving them terrified and running away from the enemy. When in active mode, he can terrify the target he can also inflict double damage for those that have already been terrified making him a lethal opponent to have in any team.
Bountiful Harvest– Fiddlesticks drains the soles of nearby enemies. This causes continuous damage and can be used on several enemies at once.
Reap– slows the enemies in a crescent shape in front of him. The enemies that are in the centre are silenced and receive the most damage.
Crowstorm – Channels and then blinking into the target location. This continuously damaged the nearby enemy for several seconds, making this ideal in the long term.
With these exciting new abilities as well as a completely new voice and redesign, this is the perfect way for you to enjoy the new character and all his new abilities to benefit your team. Will you be using Fiddlesticks when the update is released?
