[Rework Concept] Fiddlesticks, The Harbinger of Doom
I think fiddlesticks is in a really bad spot right now. I know that I don't have the say on whether or not he gets the full rework he needs, let alone how he is going to be reworked. But I have ideas, and I want to let them be known. Who knows? Maybe it'll give some rioter a spark and then from there they create the new fiddle.
Here goes!
Passive: The Crows- When Fiddlesticks deals damage to any enemy unit (Either through auto's or abilities), he applies a stack of "The Crows" (Max 5). Fiddlesticks' other abilities interact with The Crows.
Q: Fear the Crows- Fiddlesticks Fears all targets with The Crows for 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds.
W: Draining Terror- Fiddlesticks targets an enemy champion and channels for 2 seconds. Over the next 5 seconds, Fiddlesticks will remove 1 stack of The Crows per second, deal 50/75/100/125/150 (+.1 AP) magic damage, and heal for 80% of that amount (Meaning Pre-Resists). This ability does not apply The Crows (because it removes them, duh). If there are no stacks of The Crows left on the target, then nothing happens, but the link will remain until either 5 seconds have passed or Fiddlesticks and the target get more than 500 units away from each other, meaning if stacks of The Crows are applied, they will be removed during the following tick. Both targets can move during this time. Fiddlesticks can use his other abilities, and thus can apply stacks of the crows during this time.
E: Messengers of Death- Fiddlesticks sends a wave of crows in the target direction, dealing 50/100/150/200/250 (+.5 AP) damage to all targets hit. If they hit a champion, they will immediately stop and apply extra stacks of the crows based on how close to the original cast point the champion is at the time of being hit. 5 stacks if its point-blank, 1 stack if its a lovetap at the end of the distance.
R: A Murder of Crows- After a short, 1.5 second channel, Fiddlesticks will teleport to the target location within a short range (say his Auto Attack range, maybe a little further). For the next 5 seconds, All champions within a short range of Fiddlesticks will be attacked by a flying murder of crows, dealing 100/200/300 (+.3 AP) damage per second. Nearby Champions will automatically gain stacks of the crows based on their proximity to fiddlesticks at the time of the teleport. Champions immediately next to him will get 5 stacks instantly, but champions at the outermost edge will only get 1.
Changelog:
8/18/15- Fear no longer scales with stacks of the crows, Draining Terror damage is now a DoT along with the heal, Draining Terror also removes Crows over time, rather than instantly, Messengers of Death was changed to be more instant gratification than the over time passy thing. Ult no longer fears, but instead applies instant Crows stacks based on proximity.
Now I ain't a god of balance. These numbers are probably ridiculous. But The general concept if there. With this fiddle would become a Teamfight machine, the ultimate bringer of Fear and the AoE Teamfight control. He wouldn't be half bad in a 1 on 1 scenario either.
