Any buffs planned for Fiddlesticks?

As a Fiddlesticks main, i need to know if Riot has any planned buffs for this champ, he was okay but Riot did nothing but nerfing him and his items (now you just can't build AP jungle item).

It's a shame that this champ who was so good at the beginning of this year is now one of the worst junglers.

I think this champ needs some love, upvote if you agree!

EDIT: I don't think he needs a full rework, but a Q/E rework would be awesome. Also, he needs the jungle item, Magus was just perfect on him.

He needs a complete rework. People that don't wanna counterplay him cry that he is too op, so rito nerfed him accordingly. Now he gets completely dumped on by things that used to counter him.

Did Fiddlesticks ever even finish the jungle item? I know Magus had some great stats, but it wasn't like he really needed them; didn't he usually just go right for Zhonyas?

I used to dislike Fiddlesticks due to his huge impact on soloQ games and constantly high winrate, while still somehow managing not to get any QQ. However, even though he is with no doubt in a bad spot atm, the Fiddlesticks mains are sticking with him - 42% of the Fiddlesticks players have more than 125 rankeds. That's even higher than Riven main% so Fiddlesticks players are truly faithful. Have my respect.

Well he never really had to use the jungle item anyway... a lot of them just rushed Zhonya's or WotA.

Magus wasn't really a nerf, Riot pointed out that majority of Fiddle mains rushed the item 3157 before finishing there jungle item.

And honestly, Fiddlesticks needs to be reworked, he is setup to only function in the jungle while also being a massive unfair pain in the ass.

Currently he still has a 51% winrate so he is doing fine.

I don't think Fiddlesticks needs buffs, since he is very strong.

He does, however, need a jungle item that actually works well for him. Runeglaive is just kind of "meh" on him. He basically has to sell it late game.

They need another jungle item similar to magus with no sheen effect.
