Could ninth was a darkish day within the 2XKO official Discord. A dialog on could-be characters begam harmlessly, because it has for years when there’s been no information to debate. However this time, debate devolved into arguments, because the intricacies of how Fiddlesticks – a lanky horror-inspired scarecrow would make the transition. League of Legends is packed filled with champions that discover themselves in a difficult place the place a combating recreation moveset could be derived.
I’ve dubbed this the Fiddlesticks drawback. How do you are taking a weirdo – somebody with out direct hyperlinks to the style – and convey them over to this style in an thrilling style. The steadiness between preserving a personality loyal to supply materials and preserving them enjoyable to play is a deadly tightrope.
It is an issue that the 2XKO group has certainly needed to deal with with characters like Ahri, which had her moveset overhauled between public builds. Designer Alex Jaffe spoke to me a little bit about this steadiness again at Evo 2023, and right here I used to be again at Evo once more asking comparable questions.
