Fiddlesticks Rework ambush ability concept
With trying to make new fiddle into an ambush focused champion, one flavorful concept that may be interesting is giving him an ability to place scarecrow "totems" that he can swap places with within a given range.
This gives him two distinct uses to help him utilize his crowstorm.
- He can place them ahead of time to create vantage points to enter the fight from unexpected locations even if they had located him recently.
- He can ult into a fight, place a totem forward then swap to it to gain distance on his engage (similar to wardhopping with lee sin.)
It gives him some utility from the jungle by establishing control and access to areas ahead of time, and gives opponents moments of fright when wandering through the jungle, finding a totem and hoping fiddles is not in range to swap in.
The totems would have to be destructible by players (similar to rek'sai tunnels) in order to allow counterplay against the map control it can hypothetically offer, but I think it would give fiddlesticks a very interesting jungle play pattern that he currently lacks as a champion.
