Riot please give a Fiddlesticks main some love
Dear Riot, I am very unhappy about recent nerfs to Fiddlesticks. I understand he is abused in botlane as an off meta support by people who don't really understand Fiddlesticks true potential. Most of them throw crows blindly hoping to land hits on their target but don't even know you can use Fiddlestick's Drain to direct the crow into hitting a single target 3 times. My IGN is Fidgetsticks, I have over 2 million mastery points on Fiddle but recently I seem to be falling off more often late game ever since Fiddlesticks Dark Wind has received a hard nerf. I understand changes needed to be made to stop too many players from dominated botlane by just crow spamming, but now my potential as a jungler seems very weak. I can't even start a teamfight with my ult because my follow up crow damage hits like wet noodles providing so little pressure it's more of a risk to gank than it is rewarding. This encourages people to just spam crows from a distance than utilize Fiddlesticks full kit for he probably get 2 shot by a unfed rework Akali even when Fiddle is fed he poses little threat to her.
I don't understand why it's ok for new champions to do 400 dmg skill shots before level 6, but older champions keep receiving hard damage nerfs as if Riot only wants a small pool of meta champs to be utilized. My kdr has been looking very bronze ever since these chances have been made, and my full combo chains even when fed get outdamaged by enemies who've been behind all game. I posted a link to my game play to show I am actually very competent in understanding my champion. I don't feel its fair for Fiddle mains to be punished this hard by people who abuse him only in support role.
I propose either a rework which rewards Fiddle players who utilize Fiddlesticks full kit or give him some insurance to his all or nothing ultimate like increased movement speed to be able to slip away instead of his usual kamikaze, died but worth playstyle. I know I'm an old dog slow at learning new tricks, I know I'm so used to my enemies melting from bouncing darkwind within my ultimate that the fact they are now surviving easily I need to learn to play less aggressive, but I also feel being a glass cannon assassin was Fiddlesticks true element and taking away the cannon he is just glass. Riot please review my concerns make Fiddlesticks decent again and also... It's been like 4 years no skin? Show some love to Fiddlesticks.
