@Meddler, what are you planning for Fiddlesticks?

I think it is obvious that fiddlesticks is suffering with item compatibility. Not only that, but his passive is the most useless passive in the game with a 10 magic resist reduction through out the game.

In addition, with the recent buff that was reverted and a nurf for jungle took its place, you seem like you guys are planning something. Some might say that it is a buff, but actually, a 10 mana cost increase at the first point, this is a nurf for the first 20 mins of the game... Not to mention the cost increase of .

It seems that fiddlesticks balancing is a nightmere to you guys, so what are you planning there.

NOTE: I think fiddlesticks is an awesome character with his current abilities, except his passive, so please don't Sion rework him

Runic Echo's and recent tweaks makes him viable. He really doesn't need a rework except visually and looks very promising for live according to what I've seen on the PBE. You didn't mention Echo's in the post, so I assume you didn't see the notes on Surrender@20. His builds are fine now :D

I agree, the new jungle item is awesome!

But I LOVE to see a visual rework, he disparately needs one!

Honestly, the new jungle AP item that's on the PBE will singlehandedly make Fiddlesticks a lot better, not to mention that he has some direct buffs on the PBE as well. He will probably be pretty good after the new AP jungle item goes live, and then he's getting one or two other buffs as well.

I don't think this E change is a buff. Why do you think that ?

the buff is for the second point and further, but no one actually puts more points until they have a fully stacked Q, which is like 20 mins into the game right?

To be honest, when I initially wrote that I thought that the mana cost was reduced at all levels instead of being increased at rank 1 and decreased from rank 3 onwards.

That said, it's still nice to get a lower mana cost later on when Fiddlesticks starts to fall off and starts to rely on his utility and ultimate a bit more, not to mention that the cost increase really only applies to your second and third clears, when you don't have blue buff and don't have Runic Echoes. It's not that big of a buff, but it's still nice.
