Fiddle in the jungle is too weak

Disulfiram··2 votes·488 views

According to op.gg , he's currently sitting at a 47% winrate - that's pretty weak, he needs a buff to be viable. 47% winrate means that if you play 1 game per day, on average in a month you'll lose 1 more game with him than with anoth... Wait, 1 more loss per MONTH???

WHO THE HELL CARES! I'm not playing in the LCS, that 3% winrate from 50% means LESS THAN NOTHING anywhere that is not high-level competitive!

Is he weak in League-Of-One-Shots? Yeah, maybe. But you know what? There are other ways to contribute. Maybe I won't be able to assassinate other people, but if you eat a 5-man ult my Yi is going to get a pentakill. Maybe I won't be able to duel the enemy jungler, but he better keep tabs on me or I'll get every single dragon from level 5 onward. Maybe I won't be able to delete the enemy ADC like the enemy Zed would, but I can still make that Zed miserable if he tries while my ult is down.

TL;DR Play what you like, and don't mind winrates and viability - they're a minor nuisance at worst if you're not a pro.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure he wasn't intended to be played in the jungle in the first place.

While technically true, iirc he was actually one of the very few that could jungle in the first season at all, to the point that he's one of the reasons the jungle role was introduced in the first place.

Since when? Season 1 or 2?

He has a lousy kit. I have never had interest with him.

Then we shouldn't nerf champs with 53% or event 58% win rate because its only one or two more win a month right.

Don't worry if main since season one go from mid 50% (because they are better with him than non-mains) drop that low because he is balance.

Its always the champs with the higher win rates saying everything is fine.

Sure I play what I like but if you are going to buff champs with higher win rate with less games played then say over look fiddle it seems your bias is showings.

He was the first jungler that has be left to rot because of the new champ kits. Likes its soo hard just to try a buff and see how it plays out. Laziness is why.

I'm not saying the game shouldn't be balanced; what I'm saying is that we should just play whatever we want without bothering with winrates. Because while a 53% winrate will affect the community as a whole and while pros will try to get every single advantage they can (regardless of how small it is), a 53% winrate really isn't even noticeable for the regular player.

lol so according to your math if you have a 35% winrate you lose 5 more games per month?

omg its only 5 games... winrate means nothing!!! ... ill let someone else explain to you how stupid your "calculations" are.. i don't have time for people like you...
