Fiddlesticks is buggy and needs attention

  1. Fiddlesticks' R (Crowstorm) causes damage in a slightly larger radius than the animation and circle on the ground suggest - At least with Surprise Party skin - perhaps this is not the case with other skins. I only play Surprise Party. As a Fiddlesticks main, I would hope that the visuals would be matched up to the current damage radius, and not vice versa.
  2. Fiddlesticks' Q (Fear) interacts strangely with many champs and situations. For example, Fearing Wukong during his ult does not stop him from spinning. Fearing Master Yi during his ult - well, we've all had a laugh at that before. Fearing Pantheon as he jump-stuns you leaves both Pantheon feared and Fiddle stunned. Fearing anyone and immediately dying causes the fear to end early (intended? It says "for a duration" on the tooltip and says nothing about Fiddle needing to be alive, so...).
  3. Fiddlesticks' W (Drain) can continue through certain champions untargetable moments but not others, with no particular rhyme or reason as far as I can tell. I would like some consistency.
  4. Fiddlesticks' R (Crowstorm) can still be used to move if snared, such as by Ryze, Lux, or Morgana. Even as a Fiddlesticks main I will admit this seems wrong.

Can anyone confirm these things or offer any other oddities with Fiddle?

Actually, I disagree on your opinion on the R. I'm pretty sure a large swarm of magical, evil crows could break through a root. It's not really something that people are abusing often, and really the ult is useless if you can't chase (usually).

Fearing Wukong during his ult does not stop him from spinning.

This is intended. Nothing will stop Wukong from spinning except for death. His ult persists through stuns, knockbacks, and silences.

Fearing Master Yi during his ult - well, we've all had a laugh at that before.

Is there an issue here? Fear is defined as slowing the target while forcing it to move away from the caster. As a part of his ult, Yi can't be slowed, leading to him running away at full speed, as intended.

Fearing Pantheon as he jump-stuns you leaves both Pantheon feared and Fiddle stunned.

There was a post about targeted abilities and cancelling-- Riot's standpoint is that spells like Panth W, Fizz Q, and Irelia Q lose power in return for targeting (and therefore guaranteed damage/effects), so it makes sense for these abilities to continue even through CC.

Fiddlesticks' W (Drain) can continue through certain champions untargetable moments but not others, with no particular rhyme or reason as far as I can tell. I would like some consistency.

There is consistency. Fiddle Drain continues through all untargetability (Vlad W, Fizz E, Elise spider E). As for invulnerability (Kayle ult, Lissandra ult, Zhonya's) the tether will persist through the effect, healing Fiddle, but Drain will not damage the target until they become vulnerable again.

  1. Yeah, needs a fix.
  2. Working as intended. Wukong's ult works exactly like Master Yi's.
  3. Working as intended. Champions that are untargetable are not invulnerable.
  4. Working as intended. How would it feel if you got snared when channeling and it cancelled your cast?
