[GAMEPLAY] Fiddles Fear need serious tuning

As a main Fiddle player, i have taken to become seriously frustrated with his Fear ability. Its a powerful ability, indeed, but in the current kit and state of that champion, its absolutley essential to be able to accomplish anything.

Since Summer 2014, ive startet noticing Fear being really inconcistent. This goes to split second inputs between fiddle and enemy champions.

  • If an enemy champion are about to enter stealth or a brush (not visible), the audio of fear will be played even though the spell did not "launch". As the audio is the main reckognition to that the enemy are feared in the brush, and makes it the only way to identify if its safe to follow into the brush or not. Too many times ive been twarthed by this, believing an enemy is feared, just to see that he wasent.

  • Serveral champions are allowed to make long lasting visual attacks even though they are feared. Like the Syndra ultimate, where the animation shows she winds up before releasing the balls. This spell finishes and fiddles dead before the fear kicks in. Its hard CC, it should counter the attack.

  • Champions with dashes, like Corcki and Tristana, are somehow allowed to press their ability while already stunned, and when the stun lifts, they fly away even though they are already feared. (Picture them being feared ina knock up. The fear lasts for 2.5 seconds. But when the champ lands, they instantly fly away with the fear mark on their head, and walk around feared for 0.5 seconds after the flight.)

This ought not to be possible. You shall not be able to escape inbetween two overlapping methods of hard CC. Fiddles fear ability needs to be tuned for theese split second battles, cause right now its highly unstable.

Can't tell you how many times I've had Terrify go on CD but not taken effect.

The ability is very bugged ATM.

BTW, I see the same issue you mentioned for Syndra ult happen with Ezreal ult all the time. These ults have a channel time, but hard CC won't stop them.
