Idea's for Fiddlestick buffs

Hay5eed··1 votes·445 views

Hey there guys. I've been playing Fiddlesticks a lot recently and I've noticed some things that just seem really annoying about Fiddlesticks's kit that I think could/should be fixed, if only for consistency.

NUMBER 1 THING I WANT FIXED: Make it so that Fiddlestick players can cancel their ult mid channel. Lucian, Miss Fortune, Katarina, Karthus, all these champs have long channel ults that can be cancelled if need be. Fiddlestick players however do not have this ability. If you are ganking mid and are trying to ult into their midlaner when all of a sudden the enemy jungler and top comes down to gank you should have an option of saying "oh shit" and just cancel your ult.

Other things that i figured that I might as well talk about since I am making a post. 1.) It would be nice if Dark Wind would silence for longer duration the higher the level. Obviously we should lower the base level to compensate. 2.) It would also be cool if Dark Wind's ricochet had a rhyme or reason to it. Right now it just randomly picks targets in a AOE from the inital target. It would be cool if it prioritized champions or minions with low health first, or had a deflection angle similar to Miss Fortunes Double Up. a.) or maybe make it a linear skillshot that will instantly silence anyone within a small AOE upon collision with an enemy target, like Quinn's blind 3.) I think that either Fiddlesticks's passive should scale with his level or it should be able to stack up to 3 times.

No, fuck increasing silence duration. He already has fear, do you want silence to be 5 years too? He's getting a new ap jungle item, are you not satisfied?

He's still a squishy, mana-hungry, short ranged mage with most of his abilities immobilizing him and even his own kit countering itself (Q and W). Pretty sure you could give him a 10 second silence and he still wouldn't be that great with how random and self-countering his kit is. The fact he has to stand still majority of the time he's in combat alone makes him nearly unplayable in the game's current state that heavily favors mobility.

Typical logic, I want an increase in silence duration, thus I must want it to last 5 years. Thats not what I want. All I am saying is that , right now, Fiddlesticks Dark Wind takes 1.) Way too long to reach it's original target, 2.) chooses targets after that in an unpredictable pattern, 3.)The effect of the silence doesn't last that long. This means that you can't use it as a reaction to an ability being channeled like Thresh windup. The only abilities that they can be used against would be a Miss fourtune ult, a Lucian ult, and any other long duration channel, but at that point its usually better to just fear them, since thats a instant cast. On the other side of the ability, the silence doesn't last long enough for you to use on the opponent and then capitalize on the fact that they are silenced to fight. That's all I am saying. He doesn't have a quick or realiable way of delivering his silence and when he does the silence doesn't last long enough for it to really do anything.

You can cancel your ultimate's channel.

Just click it again, cast another ability, or move.

It's not like any of the champions you listed get a refund on the cooldown either.

Anyways, Runic Echoes and the reduced mana cost on E (both of which are on the PBE) should be significant buffs for Fiddlesticks.

Oracle Alteration and Tracker's Knife are already quite useful for vision control. Combined with a useful jungle item for him, Fiddlesticks should be quite strong.

Dark Wind, at max rank, costs ONE HUNDRED THIRTY mana to deal 145(+45% AP) damage and silence one person you meant to silence and 4 other targets you know nothing about for 1.25 seconds. If the silence is really making this spell worth the mana I want it off with a slow in its place and more damage and slightly lower cost to compensate because that's screwed up.
