Fiddlesticks in 6.9 --- Comedy of Errors

The new dread passive for Fiddlesticks is counter to the spirit of the champion. Fiddlesticks is a champion that is about making strategic choices to sacrifice mobility for damage. Is it okay for me to stand still and drain or is trundle going to pillar me and lock me out of dealing meaningful damage for the next 4-5 second? Is it okay for me to stand in this bush while I charge my ult, or am I standing on a ward and everyone will just run away before i get there (or worse, a thresh hook gets involved). Adding more mobility to this champion while taking way damage (I see that change to 'Drain' cooldown, awesome, finally making room for some sick fiddlesticks autoattacks, thanks rito) (I also see the range nerf to 'Terrify') is like eliminating gnar's ability to transform into megagnar and replacing it with a mana bar.

There is also nothing close to a clarification as to what role you think fiddlesticks plays in the league? He's a "explosive fight-starter, surprise party enthusiast, and spooky scary... scarecrow"? No, fiddlesticks is a counter-engage assassin. He should be the "go to" champ for counter-assassinations & counter-split pushing. He puts fear in champions like Katarina, Akali, Yasuo, Zed & Master Yi; the folks who would otherwise 1v5 your team and win. Those who ward, communicate how to manage crowd control abilities & don't funnel all their eggs into a single champion basket don't have to be nearly as concerned.

Fiddlesticks is an awesome champion, his existence promotes good habits and opportunities for counterplay, please stop trying to nerf him into something he's not.
