Ok, I love this skin, no question there whatsoever.

However, after seeing the final particles for it, I am greatly saddened by the bright white used for his new particles... It just doesn't fit the skin well at all. Below are some slight changes I'd like to see before the skin goes live:

Recall: Change the swirling white snow to also mix some darker colors in, like the purple color he has striped about his body. Mixing the two colors,and making the wind around him look a bit darker would fit the skin so much better.

Drain: Please,please, PLEASE change his drain to have some dark spots in it. I love the white,looking like he's draining your soul, but adding some darker colors into the mix would make it look even better I think. Alternatively, make a white and purple candy cane-esque spiral go around his drain to help with that candy look a bit more. (Kind of like how his Drain looks like a spiraling party blower in his Surprise Party skin.)

Dark Wind: I actually love this the way it is. It has a coldness to it. If I had to add anything, it would be a small dark trail behind the crow.

Crowstorm: I like the wintery storm feel, and it's great, but once again, the white is just far too bright for such a dark character like Fiddlesticks. Even if you guys keep the blizzard around him, at least add his crows in there as well, so it has some color to it. Maybe some purple mixed in so it still feels like you're playing a dark character. The pure white just feels very off, considering it'scircling around the Harbinger of Doom...

Please consider changing the particles before releasing the skin, Riot. Fiddle is one of my favorite champions, and I'd really hate to see such an awesome skin have mediocre particle effects...

Please /sign if you agree so that Riot sees our plea for better particles !

I agree, his particle effects really don't look too hot, especially standing up to surprise party fiddlesticks. I bought dark candy, so i could have a skin that wouldn't be around for purchase after this year. i love the way it looks and the feel, but the effects just leave something missing, you know? the guy above me has it right.

I bought the skin as soon as i could. The model and the splash art are gold! But the sound and particles left me dissapointed.

The Recall Animation: I love it. Maybe they could use it in his other skins (and add some mist instead of that white wind)

The Drain: I agree with you.

Dark Wind: I dont like that "snow" sound when it hits (Don't know how else to describe it....)

CrowSnowStorm: Now the ultimate is scary only for the dmg it does, not for the sound of the crow flock eating their eyes () Actyally it nearly doesnt make a sound at all. Thats the only thing I truly disagree with the skin. It takes away all of the "dark" theme fiddlesticks has.

If I play fiddle its because I like his theme.... and that ultimate kinda takes it away, without warning. (With Surprise Party it was kinda obvious that the theme would change)

I /sign for you dude.... Even though the skin has been live for quite a while, It doesnt mean they cant tweak it.
