Fiddle Stick mains + New Jungle?

Chroud·Oct 31, 2016·1 votes·674 views

Hello everyone my name is Xchapex (NA) and I am main.

(Input no skill shot champion main negativity here)

If I am reading into the future of the jungle as it sits right now how is fiddle sticks suppose to survive in the jungle with no blue buff?

with no blue buff i am forced to recall after 2 camps.

Will someone please fill me in on the info i might be missing so i do not over stress so much about next season.

I feel that AP reliant junglers are going to fall behind fast in this new system with Mana being a huge issue.

on top of that it will open up counter jungling a AP jungler to a whole new unfair level.

I hope I am mistaken..

Thank you a Fiddle Main :)

Where did you read they are getting rid of blue buff? They aren't; just the minis are gone. Do you mean the blue buff smite bonus?

Then you answered the question already blue buff will remain but the bonus will be no more?

Yeah, blue will be there. Fiddle won't clear as fast now though since he's losing out on the E bounces; not sure if they'll compensate.

wait why would E not bounce anymore?

They are removing the small monsters from the Red and Blue buff camps.

The mini sentinels are gone and the ability can't bounce off of Fiddle. It's literally just the buff alone in a camp.

Why would mana be an issue now?

While they are removing Smite Buffs, Red and Blue buff will both still exist.

His mana management will be essentially the same as it is now.

don't worry they're only getting rid of smite buffs. you can still get red and blue buff from their respective camps.

Then the conclusion nothing really changes for us :) thank you for the quick replys.

Only the smite that gives you a burst of mana back will be removed. There are plants in the river that give you mana and health back.

No raptor buff - It's gonna be really tough to find good ults without this buff. You have to rely much more on your teammates sweepers and pink wards. Jungle buffs loses their minions - No bounces. A disgusting amount of time added to clear speed. A HUGE nerf akin to when they made it so Fiddle doesn't get lvl 2 off blue alone (which was meant to nerf Nunu...) Golems split up into lesser golems on death - Your E is gonna be on cooldown so you have to drain every one of them down. This camp won't be worth to do ever I think. Plant that gives vision over walls - Fucks over Fiddlesticks ult locations. Plant with knockbacks - Stops channels. Oh boy. Honestly if things are as bad as I fear (heh) then I'm probably gonna main a new champion. It's been a fine 4 years, Fiddlesticks. This looks even worse than season 5 which says a lot.

I do not take credit for this copy and paist as I did not write it...... if this is all true ; ;
