Does FIddlesticks have an Outdated Kit?

Fiddlesticks Not sure if this guy needs a gameplay update, but I don't think it would really hurt. Not being able to fully utilize runeglaive has hurt his jungling, and as a laner he can't really do much with his W (heal) because it puts him in an immobile position. What are your opinions on his current kit?

I think it would be cool if he got a lil MS boost when his ult activated.. I don't think he needs much more than that.

He's actually not TOO immobile because of his Q+E combo. I personally would like his Q to be buffed so he can lay down a bit more damage, but other than that I like him as a champion.

More damage because late game I find myself getting 1-shotted by weaker champions, Fiddie is rather squishy.

I really like his kit. If they decide to give him an update, that'd be cool, but either way, IMO they need to have a second AP JG item that doesn't use sheen xD IMO one that uses the move speed item to build from actually :O

Outdated? A bit. Mostly, his problem is that he got repeatedly beaten by a nerf bat for no good reason.

His fear got nerfed. The Fear mechanic was changed to directly counteract the rest of his kit (fear them away while you want them to stay near you). His E lost its chain silence. His W lost a lot of it's tether range. His passive got nerfed, so that he has to hit people rather than it being an aura. Oh, and FUCKING RUNEGLAIVE.

Could he use changes? Yeah.

Something that could be a thing would be to turn drain into a Karma W style tether, where he can move, attack, and cast spells (excluding second drains, obviously) while draining.

Suddenly, Fiddle can build runeglaive, because his autos will not impact his ability to be a mosquito. A new build could come from this as well. item 3708 item 3020 item 3157 item 3285 item 3116 item 3089 (sell runeglaive later for item 3135 )

Due to being able to waddle along while draining, this pretty much garuntees that whoever you latch onto will have a bad day, due to the constant slows and your heightened movement speed.

His fear was a 3 second click fear at max rank. That's way too long for what is essentially a click stun (the live duration is still too long.)

That one, I can understand, but still.

Fiddlesticks was once a good champion, but I cannot recall a time in which he was actually overpowered.

Hell, if he wasn't absolute shit with runeglaive, he would be GREAT right now, due to ignite being such an unpopular spell.
