I just realized how big of a nerf the new fear is to fiddlesticks

His W relies on getting a good fear in for maximum damage...

Now his fear always gives the worst fear possible AKA enemies run away from him..

This is just like if someone were to run away from his w without him using q.

Any thoughts i think the change really screwed over fiddlesticks

Oh also not to mention when he ults if he fears someone hes pushing them out of his ult aswell which is HUGE

The "new" fear came out midway through last year if I remember correctly.

And they pointed out that yes, it's a bit of a nerf to Fiddlesticks.

Which is why they attached the massive slow. Again, many patches ago.

...And Fiddlesticks has a pretty crazy winrate right now anyway.

Soooo... you went on the boards to complain about a months-old change on a champion you haven't played in a long time?

A bit of a nerf? They have literally nerfed everyone of his abilities now lol. And his win rate is actually dropping, His win rate was high because most Fiddles players were actual Fiddles players, and therefore, good with him. He was always low on the picked list, I played about 800 games in S3, about 780 of which were with Fiddles. This season I played more champs, but it was not because he was picked anymore lol. The only time he saw an increase in play was when with the new jungle favoring sustain. So, they killed his E. As predicted, his winrate is dropping now and he will again only be played by people that actually like him and are good with him...that's why win rates don't really matter much.

The fear change is not all bad for Fiddles. It's probably all bad for a 1v1 situation.

However, ganking Fiddles now get to flank and fear the opponent reliably back toward their laner. It's really crazy strong with good positioning.
