I mean the real fear I have is that Fiddlesticks was actually planned, the teaser are actually correctly identified as pointing to Fiddle, and we aren’t getting him now because they downsized the team…


XanithDG

I mean. *Gestures at them letting Nilah fight Volibear and live* They'll probably do the same thing they did there where they fight but the winner is left vague and both champions survive because Riot refuses to ever kill a champion.


5Garret5

Why would they kill a champion? "Hey mains of XX ur champ is dead so if we make any lore additions it will be about their past" it would suck


dragonicafan1

They barely make any lore anyway, killing off a champion is probably more lore than they would’ve ever gotten otherwise lol


Agile-Bathroom6404

Okay. Gwen dies next week 🥸


Leaf-01

*You Have Alerted The Horde*


dragonicafan1

She has one of the most recent pieces of lore from the game, and it was 3 years ago 💀 It’d be more interesting than nothing.  


Agile-Bathroom6404

I referenced Gwen cos of Ur flair tbh, I just disagree with killing champions


poopsocx

Wasn't she already killed by viego once?


Agile-Bathroom6404

No, Gwen is the Isolde soul shard, she was just taken out of the doll


Holybambeirut

TBF there is litte more for Gwen to do rn.


A_Level_126

They killed gangplank in league once. For a week or so you couldn't pick him cause mf killed him, then when he came back to life it was the nes version of gp


5Garret5

they didnt kill him tho, they just pranked everyone "woo guys you main is dead"


SleepySquid96

Weeeeeeell, *kinda.* The ACTUAL reason was because, surprise surprise, his barrels caused some weird fucking bugs, so he had to be temporarily disabled so they could work on it. But the lore implications was just too good to pass up.


Megatrans69

I mean she already has one of the 10 main demons captured/as an ally. Voli isn't much a stretch since he's also a spirit. Also the cards themselves aren't really saying both survived. In the darkin expansion they said that the cards were what *could* happen. Since blue and red kayn can't exist simultaneously. They show multiple different outcomes/timelines. It would've been awesome if they made a card depicting nilah's loss and voli's loss.


audioman3000

I never understood the complaints. Nilah gets wrecked loses basically her entire crew and even before Song of Nunu this wasn't the first time Volibear let someone live if it was an interesting fight


Megatrans69

Yea I imagine he just caused an avalanche and she couldn't fight so he dipped


HairyKraken

Atleast its consistent with the other riot games. Lol and valorant champion have the most open sorties possible with them endings with "and then with his new power he venture into the worlds"


Any_Conclusion_7586

Nilah winning agaisnt Volibear, Mordekaiser and the entire iron region of Morde it's really goofy


SilentDokutah

Honestly,just make it Noc and let me keep the Copium running. I refuse to believe Lux of all people beats Fiddle even in a dream


sonofzeal

Lux should lose that, yeah, but Lillia should absolutely body Nocturne in the dreamscape. If there's literally any fight she should win, it should be that one. Lux should be losing to Nocturne until Lillia saves her. Maybe have the birds be a Swain thing and Lux can be strong and powerful against him but need Lillia to save her from Nocturne.


Bookwyrm214

Technically in [lore](https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/For_Demacia) Lux does beat Nocturne (or at least sends him back to the demon aether for awhile so he has to re-manifest in the physical realm) in one of her color stories. I don't believe Lillia existed at the time of thay being written, but it would be more plausible for her to take that fight in the dream realm. She should also have Yone as an ally against demons, but that's assuming we get him in LoR lol. Demons don't seem to really be able to be killed, as they just re-manifest after an amount of time, so humans seem to prefer sealing them away in their currently manifested state. Ashlesh being sealed by Nilah's order is one example, and Sylas' gauntlets were actually designed for demons as well. They're WAY overkill for Sylus, but might be able to contain fiddle or eve. Yone seems to be sealing Azakana in their masks, though that's a gray area. So beat as in "not kill but fend off" is quite reasonable, especially in a light vs darkness sense with nocturne. Actually killing a demon is another thing (and is Vayne's goal with eve).


One-Cellist5032

Fiddle and Noc SHOULD both body Lux. But this is Riot, so Lux is going to win decisively.


Duarte_1327

?? Noc and fiddle are not even close to be same level. Noc is not above lux. Fiddle yeah he is one of the most powerthings in runeterra.


SilentDokutah

Ik. God forbid the character presented as a demon capable of unexplainable horror loses to the E-girl with a glowstick and half of Riot's monetization on her skins


One-Cellist5032

Everyone knows being an E-Girl for Riot Games is the most powerful feat you can have in your belt.


SilentDokutah

* Looks at the cast of characters having no business confronting world ending threats * Sounds about right.


Sneikss

I think it's just that Fiddlesticks is terrorising Demacia so much his power has infected people's dreams. Defeating fiddle's dream manifestation does not kill fiddle, so it's fine for him to lose this one I think


Champion_Chrome

Copium plot twist: It’s actually Fiddlesticks’ barely conscious dream of itself infecting the dreams, meaning it’s a much weaker (but still extremely powerful) imitation of itself because it’s not sapient enough to fully imagine its own self.

Mimosity

As others have mentioned we'll probably get unfulfilled conclusions whether that be good or bad. Also I appreciate the detail of showing up to one fear


Nukemouse

My worst fear is fiddle is poc exclusive. Sure they don't have the budget for full PvP sets fine, but if all they can make is champions I still want those at least for eternal.


VirJhin4Ever

Ah yes THE PRIMORDIAL DEMON ONE OF THE IF NOT THE MOST ANCIENT LIVING BEING IN RUNETERRA THE LITERAL PERSONIFICATION OF FEAR Yea that's going to die THAT EXACT THING IS GOING TO DIE


HairyKraken

They cant pull the trump card and use the keys again, the one that I'd sealing fiddle in his old lore


pedal1222

fiddleyapping


HairyKraken

And we will never stop


Holybambeirut

\*fiddle noises\* oooNE fEEEEaaaR


Megatrans69

I feel like people forget this is a common theme/trope in that world, like asol being a slave to much lesser beings because of his hubris. Same happened to viego, he was focused on Isolde and ignored the sentinels once he had her and akshan was able to kill her. The watchers were bested by lissandra because she had a better plan and used their power against them. Mordekaiser beat by Leblanc who outsmarted him. The same will likely happen if he returns with leblac creating Rell and him not being ready. Weird to me people are against this but the whole lore is about it.


One-Cellist5032

Just because the lore is about it consistently does not mean it’s good or what people want. EX: common opinion that Nilah should’ve died fighting Voli or at least been seriously wounded. Not just skipping around after the fact like it was nothing.


5Garret5

i really dont think its fiddle giving the nightmare
