Could we remove the cd on fiddles drain?

would this make him broken? can't remember the last time fiddle drained someone to death in league of gapclosers/cc and would be a nice QoL buff for him. and it feels like fiddle could use some love.

It's already nonexistent late game. 4 second cd 5 second drain.

It being five seconds long and having a 6 second cooldown, I consider those good odds...

What is 10% cdr from masteriez?

Yes support fiddle op.. lol seriously tho, slightest little bump and fiddle is dead in the water, no drain for until his death. Are you guys really gonna devolve this? was hoping for actual discussion

Ok, here's some discussion: Fiddlesticks is very strong. He's seeing quite a bit of play in the upper tiers of solo queue. He doesn't need buffs. You'd have to nerf something else.

Second, even if he did need a buff this would not be a good one. Your reward for stunning FIddle as he's draining is that you have a bit of time when it will be on cooldown to fight him. If it had no cooldown, the reward for disrupting him would be minimal. Late game this is pretty strong, but early game this would be insane. There are so many champions who could never lane against Fiddle if you couldn't meaningfully disrupt his drain. Anyone who can't instagib him just can't fight him because they'll get drained. Way, way, way too strong.

With any CDR he's already got a lower cooldown than drain length. It's fine.

Sightless also forgot that removing the drain would give fiddle the safest possible jungle capabilities in the game as he can just drain everything over and over and over, healing himself it the process.

He already does that. He stays at full health throughout the entire clear. Most popular FIddle builds actually start with no health pots because he doesn't need them. It would increase his clear speed slightly, but it wouldn't do much for making him safer.
