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.

Since your so pro, then tell us your elo, must be challenger right? At challenger you "wreck" with him, but I dont think you do. I think maybe in bronze Fiddle is ok, but outside of that, he needs buffs.

That would be a mid Fiddle. However please tell me how you do that as a support or jungle which are what he is listed at.

as for mid. Sure I can win mid with him. But then comes late game where you are total out scaled. Fiddle has no real escape beside flash. Wait till you go against a high rate jungle and your tune will change.

I mained fiddle from the start of the game. But no more. This season I'm done playing an underpowered champ that rito doesn't give a donkey's butt about.

With all the CC in the game he is still one of the most immobile champ. Yea stand still so they can jump on you for your speed boast. Yea the fear range is small and every champ has to finish there animation so it doesn't really save you from "rito favorite" champs..... LET BUFF DRAIN that will totally fix him..... what his play rate goes from .00000002 to .00000001 and under 45% win rate for people with over 300 games played.... totally balance.
