Do we have any idea what is going on with champion? Used to be such a viable pick and now he's become extinct. What's caused him to fall off?

Me and my bro still play him. We just throw him jungle where i can surprise you with his ult and he can sustain with drain.

Note: jungle is not my main role.

I seem to recall something about them removing an ap jungle item from the game. That and junglers that can utilize rage blade like xin zhao and jax are currently hyper carries even more so than usual so thats what i see in the jungle most often. Oh, and lee sin.

There is no jungle item that works with fiddle. He was viable when their was a spell vamp jungle item and he could clear quicker. Now he only has one thing and that is sustain in the jungle.

  1. His ganks are hard to pull off: He is a R based champ where he can only really gank when he has ult. With everyone having vision now it harder to pull of ganks when you have a 1.5s cast time and they can just walk away.

  2. Fears now make players run away: This counters himself. He can only safely drain when they are feared. Now they run away from his drain resulting in less damage. Same goes with th ult.

  3. Slow slow slow clear times: he can't really clear camps since he is an ability based champ. They nerfed his crow and drain had a long cd.

Well, they removed Magus from the game and then we could read that they really checked everything and that it didnt nerf him at all... despite a lot of posts saying the contrary and a 5% win rate instant drop followed by a slow decay. I don't know why they keep nerfing him... He really is one of the last champion requiring macro-strategic skills to win.
