Nerf the duration of fiddles fear.

Oooor, and this just might be a better option, you could git gud.

A fiddle's nerf seriously ? xD

Fiddle's fear is the only reason to pick him. Even his ult is sub optimal to that fear. He's a hard counter to heavy-engage assassins and divers, which the game doesn't have much of. He's also an incredibly niche champion so you shouldn't see him often unless A. They need to counter divers or B. The guy doesn't want to see his health bar budge in the jungle.

He's also highly dependent on team mates. His kit alone isn't good for combat, unless he all ins with his ult and the rest of his kit, which is pretty high CD. Until late game as well, drain doesn't heal all that much so once fear is down, anyone with good burst can just go ham on him.

There's lots of champions in League with "cancerous" single abilities. Yi's meditate, Galio's Bulwark, Zed's Death Mark, Hecarim's Devastating Charge; however it doesn't mean they need to necessarily be nerfed. Often the champions is balanced around the power of that ability and nerfing it would throw off the power balance of the champion. Some champions that are considered broken, such as Hecarim, may need a nerf on E since he is currently highly OP so he can afford a power hit, but Fiddle? Fiddle is struggling, so to claim that you can just give him damage in exchange for CC is a shot in the dark.

You also can't randomly compensate in a kit. If they nerfed his fear, the only ability they could reasonably buff is his ult, and you don't want his ult having a higher AP ratio, believe me. His drain and silence are too unreliable and counterable so buffing those would leave him nerfed. Mathematically, think of a nerf having a value of -1, but due to the weight of his spells, nerfing fear would be to the tune of having a value of -1.25 and buffing drain or dark wind would be a value of like .75, so you'd leave a power gap due to the nerf. Only an ult buff would equalize that sort of power transfer in his kit, and again, you don't want his ult buffed as it scales hard due to it's high powered, aoe nature. That, or the buff to drain/dark wind would need to be large and that would make those abilities broken because of how much they'd need to be buffed to compensate.

However, should Fiddle become OP in the future, then maybe he could afford that kind of nerf. For now though, just mind that champion in the very rare case you see him in game and pay special attention to when his fear is up. All you can do is learn to counter it.

They have already gutted his fear numerous times lol It used to send you in a random direction which could be towards your, it was .25 seconds longer or maybe .5 seconds longer, not to mention fiddle is literally useless atm.

you can't handle 0.75 sec fear on a super squishy champion with no escapes and not serious damage except of his R?

let me think about this logically for one se CAWCAWCAW
