@Riot Will you compensate for the huge Fiddle nerf in 6.22 ?
"No raptor buff - It's gonna be really tough to find good ults without this buff. You have to rely much more on your teammates sweepers and pink wards. Jungle buffs loses their minions - No bounces. Golems split up into lesser golems on death - Your E is gonna be on cooldown so you have to drain every one of them down. This camp won't be worth to do ever I think. Plant that gives vision over walls - Fucks over Fiddlesticks ult locations."
This is a short summary wrong someone in Reddit: I wanted to try before i judge and boy i tried. I don't wanna flame or cry, i just wanna explain you who fiddle evolved since you obviously never play him ^^ (#single target camps are kind to him" XD)
The biggest problem is the size of the camps. 3 camps now have 1 monster( e useless) :They are horribly slooow to clear, especially since you have to auto attack between drains since the rework (wich i like overall caus it made Fiddle's e usefull, good job on that Riot).
Chicken now has 6... e only bounces 6 times but doesnt kill 1 per bounce :D and the little Chickens are not rly worth draining either, so this one is just as hard as the 1 mon camps.
Krugs....worst of all for fiddle ;D It splits into more every time, wich means your e will be on cooldown when the little ones come, but it comes back to end it since you take so much time finishing the camp.
So the clear is imo the biggest problem. Its bad but it feeeeels even worse. I think Fiddle is like Karthus, he's not supposed to auto attack. You feel so useless when doing it ^^.
Possible solutions: Revert drain changes: I think that would be the best one. Back then u changed it saying it solves the "i have no cc so he will just drain me forever problem". But as a Fiddle main i asked myself: " Who the hell has that problem ? " Here is a list of champs without hard CC. Akali, Dr. Mundo, Evelynn, Gangplank, Graves, Illaoi (slow is least reactionary of all tho), Karthus, Kayle, Kha'Zix, Kindred, Kog'Maw, Miss Fortune, Nasus, Nocturne, Nunu, Olaf, Rumble, Talon (rip Cutthroat), Tryndamere, Twitch, Vladimir, Yorick, Zed.
Akali, Evelynn, Gp, Graves, Illaoi, Kayle, Khazix, Kindred, Kog, Mf, Nasus, Noc, Olaf, Talon ; Trynda, Yi, Twich Zed all easily outdamage fiddle at equal gold. Mundo doesnt give a fuck about the drain ^^. To be fair, it counters Vlad pretty hard, but can Vlad rly complain that we suck his life out ?
So as you see, the "backdrain forever" problem isnt one, unless Fiddle is rly feed, in wich case i should be normal he can win a 1v1. Right now, he cant win anyone without Ult.
Riot, i understand Fiddle is an underplayed champ you dont think about when doing patches, and if you do , you don't care ^^ #runeglaive. But this time the Problem is not even the notable decrease in power (we had that on runeglaive too) but the fact that it just isnt fun anymore. Autoatting with fiddle feels slow and useless, and its basically more doing something while waiting for drain to come back. Fiddle players are a small community, but most of us are OTPs, so please make our beloved Scarecrow fun to play again :D
