Fiddlesticks Nerfs / Buffs
Patch 8.4 Laning Fid nerfed, support and jungle fid buffed.
Fiddlesticks E cooldown was reduced to 10 seconds at all rank from 12 / 11.5 / 11 / 10.5 / 10. REMOVED: Dealing 50% bonus damage to minions. Said needed jungle love. Buffed dmg to monsters.
As for The 8.4 dmg reduction to minions doesn't help jungler, actually helps support fiddle, doesn't do anything other than screw laning fiddle. why did it ever get rolled out to begin with.
Patch 8.9 Mana nerf. Base mana increased to 500 from 400.12. Mana growth reduced to 28 from 56. Base mana regeneration increased to 8 from 6. Said in patch notes u wanted to give mages some mana for first few levels and then screw their mana and waveclear for the rest of the game. I get that with some of these mages but fid wasnt really one of them super hard core clear beasts. oh well. :P And its not like u didn't already target him separately already.
Patch 8.15 E-darkwind nerfed outright again. Mana cost increased to 70 / 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 from 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90. Base damage reduced to 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 from 65 / 85 / 105 / 125 / 145.
Laning Fid's clear is getting nerfed upon nerfed upon nerfed.
Ur making the E spell so that it cannot be spammed for support but now it cant be used effectively for waveclear as well after 8.4 and 8.9 and 8.15 and fid has no stinking mana anymore. Laning fiddle is kinda stupid to play now. U don't seem to mind that cause seems u don't take into account that it exists in ur patches. The claim is u dont like that Fid support got buffed in 8.4. Why not just undo the 8.4 cooldown reduction and the minion dmg reduction. Support fid would then be casting E much less often and stealing cs which screws his adc's cs and his own gp5's passive. Instead of what u did below which just fucks laning fid and isn't specifically geared toward support or just a rollback of what seemed to cause ur issue in the firstplace.
Also fid aint been in pro in so long I actually liked seeing him actually be played again somewhere anywhere, he was not in every game still barely at all. But ur seeming to want to nerf him back out of the pro game completely rather than whatever ur claim is. There are many other champions u r happy to have first picked / banned, why not nerf them out of existance. U seem to get used to letting those in the pro pool stay there and get confused when an older champion shows back up which often u nerf them till they dissapear. Like seen u do that immediately to a support veigar from lemonnation way back when. Doubt I ever see the Fid chap again now which sux.
Edit: 03/22/19 Figured I'd come add to this. I figured i'd have to use the mana biscuits and timewarp tonic. I have some. But noticed all the pros have been just using corrupting pot plus dark seals almost exclusively across the board, so I just been doing that myself with all mages including Fid. Had used some dematerializer and clock for runes but they did get tired of everyone using the demat and cut its charges. But the corrupting pot and dark seals seems to work better than retaining the doran's rings I use to use.
