4 Changes to Make Fiddlesticks viable again.

Make Fiddlesticks great again!

  1. Give Fiddlesticks 25-50 base health or greater health with levels. I know hes supposed to be frail but so are alot of mages with more maneuverability and range and they arent as fragile as he is.
  2. Extend the new Dread passive for an extra half a second (to 2 seconds from 1.5). If you want to nerf the speed amount at later levels to compensate, fine.
  3. Give a passive to Q (Fear) of 10 magic pen (used to be his old, meh, Dread passive).
  4. One second off his cooldowns. He still wont be able to chain drain, but he wont be useless/easy target for as long after using all his cds.

Although drain is supposed to be his main damage outside his ult, other champions find no problem outdamaging him while sitting in it. If these buffs seem too much, I'd think that minor mana cost increases to balance would also be fine.

Fiddle is hp weak, hourglass nerf hurt him extra hard, and the meta of Fiddle standing still and draining people the full amount is long gone. I think these changes would help keep him useful without making him anything close to over powered.

P.S. Any word on if Riot is looking at Fiddle again?

I currently wreck with him, soooo, buff probably not needed. I rank E first, not drain btw. Common rookie mistake not focusing on cc skills early enough.
