So in patch 6.10 RITO decides to nerf Fiddlesticks because the 7 bounces of his E is somehow over powered? Fiddlesticks has had the 7 bounce birds since forever. I understand different balance changes will make moves feel different, but Fiddlesticks is far from the most OP champ functioning in League right now, and he certainly does not have the highest clear speed in the game even if Rito were to give him 8 bouncing birds. Fiddlesticks E was a valuable tool at making it out of the early game with decent clear speed and was a great deterrent to multi man invades during the early game. It is frustrating to have the champion you love be off the viable list for almost a year, and when Fiddle finally receives a meaningful buff for one patch only to be nerfed again. There are champions in this game that are far more oppressive then Fiddlesticks with fewer counter match ups, but Rito constantly feels the need to Nerf Fiddle out of play every chance they get. How about some Echo nerfs or Lucian nerfs or Ezreal nerfs or freaking NIDALEE who can double her opponents farm with insane clear speed. Fiddle has many counter match ups such as Janna, Alistar, and Lee Sin to name a few, and any team who makes sure to ward common Fiddle ult areas will find it much easier to work around the Scarecrow. He is not OP and the bouncing Bird nerf is going to set his clear speed behind that of many of the other Viable junglers in the game, and this nerf will relegate fiddle back into the tier 3 not so great Junglers. I really hope Rito stops their hate against Fiddle, and brings back the crow into a viable pick for the second half of season 6.

Thanks for reading Heptagon

Today I learned that "forever" actually has a defined period, and it is "about two weeks".

he had 5 bounces pre-buffs

not 7. five.

fiddle was too strong, this was an acceptable change.

Fiddle does way too much damage... I thought he was fine but he definitly is too strong right now. My duo always plays him and even admits how stupid his damage is.

Meanwhile zed has a 74 percent ban rate with almost ten percent play rate. Fiddle over there with his less than one percent ban rate. Riot is just playing favorites lol.

Used to be 5 bounces. The mage update gave him 7 bounces. It was too much in lane so they nerfed it to 6. Once again, Jungle Fiddle takes a hit because Support fiddle is stupid. Rework this fcking mess of a champion already.

Even 6 bounces is too much. 5 was too much with the way it used to work. I doubt many will care about ARAM but on there 6 or 7 bounces is too much. Zoning an entire team with something that silences and chunks is not a good thing. One or the other is fine but not both.
