Fiddlesticks buff?
(TL;DR at the bottom)
New Drain: Fiddlesticks tethers himself to the target enemy and channels for up to 5 seconds. While channeling, Fiddlesticks deals 80/105/130/155/180 magic damage to himself each second, and heals the enemy for 60/65/70/75/80% of the damage received.
After all he already sits at a 46% winrate in the jungle... Better buff Yasuo.

On a more serious note: the problem is that any buff to jungle Fiddle might break lane Fiddle, who actually sits at 49% (support) and 52% (mid) winrate.
So, how could RIOT proceed if they were to remember that jungle Fiddle exists? Let's see... the most obvious difference between lane Fiddle and jungle Fiddle is imho that jungle Fiddle levels Dark Wind last, while lane Fiddle levels it first.
Thus, an obvious target to keep lane Fiddle's power in check without changing jungle Fiddle's power would be to nerf Dark Wind. Dark Wind's scaling ratio, of course: if we nerf Dark Wind's base damage, then support Fiddle (49% winrate) suffers more than mid Fiddle (52% winrate).
But just nerfing Dark Wind would not fix jungle Fiddle, it would only make lane Fiddle as weak as jungle Fiddle is.
So, we need to pair that nerf with a buff... let's see, how could we buff him? Buff his pre-6? Nah, Fiddle is supposed to be weak pre-6. That's his counter: kill him early, counterjungle, keep the pressure up on the lanes before he can do anything about it.
So, buff his post-6... mmm... what about giving him a new passive?
Dread: Fiddlesticks does not show up on the minimap.
A very simple thing that brings a huge power up for Fiddle by removing one of his biggest weaknesses: wards. Wards make his trademark surprise ulties impossible. You could still see him in your screen and he wouldn't know he's sitting in a warded bush, but as long as he's not camping then he could roam freely, undetected.
It would also fill his enemies with actual dread because he could be anywhere you don't have your screen on.
TL;DR To buff jungle Fiddle without breaking lane Fiddle:
- Nerf Dark Wind's AP scaling
- New passive - Dread: Fiddlesticks does not show up on the minimap.
