his clears are good, he struggled with mana anyway, and throwing an auto between every drain doesnt seem like much effort to me. plus he also had issues with AoE clearing (he only had his e) and runeglaive will help with that. in ganks obviously the AP difference will be noticeable, but a lot of fiddle players completely ignored magus anyway to get Zhonyas ASAP.
jDVL20eCYs1 votesno but you should rush zhonya unless you plan to farm like mad, but fiddle should try snowball early so zhonya rush op
Serenity Now1 votesHis early clears are slow, and good only in the sense that he can be at full health through it all.
This season, I've been starting with a red buff clear, backing for an upgrade into Trailblazer, continuing with a blue buff clear, and then ganking with double-buffs or taking more camps. I'd hit 6 faster this way, often ahead of the opposing jungler.
Being able to upgrade Trailblazer with Magus was a nice power spike before working on Zhonya's, and gave even faster clears. I've never liked rushing Zhonya's because Armguard doesn't give a power spike, and Rod takes a long time to buy. You also don't need the active until 5v5s in the second half of the game.
The upgrade with Runeglaive does little for Fiddle. By the time you do so, he's able to chain Drain and Darkwind. This change screws Fiddle, and it's because he's an outlier that simply doesn't want to auto-attack.
I'm not quite sure what I'll do with jungle Fiddle now. I probably won't upgrade Trailblazer anymore, and get a Blasting Wand instead. Then work on Zhonya's followed by a faster Deathcap or Void Staff.
Serenity Now1 votesI am however, looking forward to trying Runeglaive on jungle Diana and Ekko. They both love to auto-attack, and are mana hungry. Even jungle Teemo may be viable now.
FastAsHeck1 votesbut runeglaive only needs you to auto once, and the buff lasts more than the duration of drain so you can drain -> auto -> drain again with dark wind somewhere in there. and he suffered from mana anyway. now you might be able to give blues to your midlaner too!
DrCyanide1 votesIt also let's Fiddles proc his passive on someone with an auto attack, which could be helpful if he's with an AP laner.
Fórsa1 votesIt's not worth on any ap jungler who build magus. I don't understand why they nerf it. Why they don't nerf Vlad, Viktor but nerfd jungle just why...
TheRakkun1 votesNerf Viktor? What?
khorney1 votesYes . he makes no use of it . the magus enchantment was great on him
