Idea for reworking fiddlesticks
Before we start. I love fid, he's one of my favorite champions. I don't really feel like he NEEDS a rework, what I feel he needs is an identity. So with that said.
What is fid? A scarecrow. A terrifying scarecrow, that uses birds and sucks the life out of you. Well, why? A scarecrow isn't alive, so why does he need to suck life out of someone. (stick with me here). Ok so I don't want to delve or break the lore of fid. We can safely assume he is some sort of dark entity/demon/mage that for some reason needed a body and found a scarecrow. In order to keep his animated body he needs to drain the life force from others. So it is said in the therapeutic world that FEAR is the strongest emotion to break a persons mental defenses down. When you're calm you think clearly, Anger makes you stronger, Pain enhances your reflexes, but fear does nothing. It freezes you, causes you to become weak. OK SO! In order for fid to drain your life force he needs to make you afraid. THAT is the basis of how I think a good way to rework him would be.
(his current passive is garbage) remove his drain from W <new passive> Fid now receives the drain from any/all feared minions or champions around him. This means he can move while he is draining. Also he drains off of champions feared off other sources ie hecarim, nocturne.
His q stays the same
His w is up for grabs but I feel like with damage coming from his passive he needs something unique to move with. I think it could work with his new E. If a champion or minion is marked by a crow with e fid can cast w to appear right behind them. Similar to Katarina shumpo. Probably would also have some sort of cooldown reset built in also.
His e would still be a flying bird but it would become a skillshot hitting the first thing it comes too. The damage would reduce per bounce. Also I think his silence would be removed.
Ult would remain the same.
So what have I created? His ideal play in lane would be to land a direct e for max damage wait out any dashes, w to close, q to fear and drain with passive. He would be like a mix between Katarina and swain not quite as much healing as swain with ult going and definitely not as much damage as kat unless he uses his ult. A bruiser build may also work also.
