The question is not IF he'll get one, it's WHERE... Riot loves those 3-hit passives too much not to give him one. :p
My predicition is that they'll give each of his basic spells a different type of CC: a slow, a silence, and a blind. Each leaves its unique stack on the enemy: if an enemy gets all three stacks, they're Feared for x seconds.
Every 3 hits of a ability. Fiddle gets a reset on his dash and invis. Also max health true damage
Squad5 is working on his gameplay. He's the one who made Ivern, Ornn and Sylas. Fiddlesticks will most definitely not have a boring ass 3-hit passive considering who's making him.
Every 3rd basic attack his summoner spells go off cooldown. Bam, such a novel idea. It's so different. It's great. Ship it.
... what do you mean will it be balanced...?
Same basic kit but crows and suck staw will have % max health true damage and resets on cd every 3rd proc of the spell, and his fear is an area effect dash that gives his ult no channel time on cast for 10 seconds. he can't cast spells during his ult now, but it does 200% bonus damage for every extra person in it. And he's totally a jungle that won't see extensive use in every other lane as well until he gets relegated to top where he goes on and off being 100% win meta or unplayable for the rest of time.
Nah you have it all wrong, Riot still likes their three hit passives but their newer Design Hard On is Better or Different version of older effects.
Camile got adaptive shields because normal shields are too straight forward, Plus her hard lockdown zone
Ornn got his brittle effect, its like cc but lasts longer
Zoe got sleep, because Stuns dont have the connotation of giving more free damage
Nunu got Snowbound, because just being stun means you cant slap AOE magic damage on it without having to make it a new effect.
and Morde has Death Realm, because Camiles Hard lockdown zone still meant other champs can fight you
So my bet is Fiddle is gonna get some objectively better or more complicated version of a Fear, renamed something new with some built in innate damage or something else.
Fiddle gains a new effect Terror, Terror causes the target to flee in the opposite direction to fiddle, any allies a Terrorised champions walks through is feared for 1 second, the target also takes 30% increased true damage from Fiddlesticks stacking up to 50% based on the crows around them, finally the target is disarmed for 1 second after the effects ends.
If fiddlestickles lands 3 auto attacks within a certain time window, his next auto attack silences. His ultimate automatically procs this on every champion hit (meaning his first auto on every enemy silences)
every 3 hits from any of fiddlesticks abilities instantly fears affected enemy champions, giving fiddlesticks 30% max health true damage to his abilities and causes any feared enemy champion to take 50% more damage from all sources
when activated through fiddlesticks ultimate, he also gains invisibility and blinds enemy champions in range of the ultimate
this effect has a 1-second cooldown
Hit an enemy with 3 abilities or a mix of autos. Enemy is feared for 3 seconds. [sg-kiko]
easiest would be his crow...it'll probably be what triggers the silence
