fear is now the worst cc in the game

fear changes are brutal.

fear used to be good 100% of the time, you could use it to engange, disengange, distract or harass.

now? its good in less than 60% of situations.

many times now, casting fear actually hurts fiddle/noc/shaco and can even get them and their allies killed.

the worst part, is all the people who have never played fiddle who say incredibly stupid things like "just walk behind them in fear them into a turret" as if fiddle was ever made to have the mobility and health to simply walk behind an enemy.

new fiddle just dies when he tries to use new fear effectively. so now he either doesnt use it, or he uses it ineffectively in this few niche sitatiouons where it isnt terrible.

as support fiddle, i went from maxing Q first to maxing it last. and while doing this allows me to get more dmg out, its impossible to set up my adc with anywhere close to as many kills as i used to.

is this what the changes were intended to do? kill support fiddle?

are you going to give him a HUGE boost in movement and HP so he can actually walk behind people and fear them without dying? or just leaving him how he is?

is this just ANOTHER indirect buff to leona/thresh/annie? who seem to be the only 3 champs riot wants in the support role?

what was the purpose of this change?

The purpose was reliability. Now you know where they are going to be headed, instead of guessing an area. This makes skillshots much easier to land and positioning much easier for clutch situations. The key is you can plan for this skill now, both against it and with it. This puts the deciding factor of when the best time to use it, how to use it and who to use it on much more into the player's hands and not an RNG's hands. Seriously, when it comes down to it you have to actually think about using Fid's fear now instead of just using it when they're nearby. Not saying you specifically are, but most do and still come out ahead.

Also, I think you;re forgetting about Doran's Shield nerf, Thresh aa nerf and Annie stun nerf when you say "the only 3 champs riot wants to play support"

whoever downvoted my OP made it disappear from the "hot" page...so....thanks for suppressing my fucking valid opinion.

community beta is so stupid. someone disagrees with me so now people cant see my opinion? great system.

no wonder it was brought to us by the same people who ruined fear.
