Fiddlesticks changes preview.

[quote=VoiD]So Morello just said in the forums that Fiddlesticks will be changed the next patch. http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=676917 Hey all, Since these previews have (generally) spurred good discussion, I wanted to talk about a Fiddlesticks mini-rework we have in the pipe. Dark Wind: Bounces changed to 5 at all ranks. Silence duration 1.5 at all ranks. Leveling the skill increases base damage. Large increase to AP ratio. Drain: Now heals for a % of damage as health. Begins at 50% and scales up with AP ratio (and can go over 100% with enough AP). Range slightly reduced. (Might increase CD if we have to). Crowstorm: Base damage lowered, AP ratio increased. Base Stats: Pretty sizable increase. His base armor was abysmal to make up for drain - with these fixes, he can have more normal base stats. * Why change Fiddlesticks? The changes were really easy to do, and Fiddlesticks is not in a good spot right now (he's bad in serious games, but still can pubstomp well). These changes are to fix how feast-or-famine Fiddlesticks is right now (he either snowballs heavily or is worthless) while giving him more late-game damage scaling. * What about junglesticks? We're running some heavy jungle testing today to see if this is still possible. We expect speedier jungling with the Dark Wind changes, it's really level 1 golem we're going to look at. We'd like him to be a good jungler. * Why not let drain stay 1:1 on the health gain? Fiddles sustain from this is exceptionally high early, but letting this scale throughout the game lets us both make him less crazy sustain early (which is an important counter-balance to lane presence with the Dark Wind changes) and lets him actually drain much more effectively late game, where stuns are flying around a lot more and the move is riskier. Buff or Nerf?[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]Neither! Its a change in how he is going to be played. I hope that his jungle isn't hurt =x[/quote]

[quote=ExamplePrime]XIN BUFFS :D After nerfing him into shit >>[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong][quote=ExamplePrime] XIN BUFFS :D After nerfing him into shit >> [/quote] Really? He's fine where he is, the moment he hits level 6 he gets crazy burst with a slow and still does sizable damage with CC.[/quote]

[quote=animorte]I like the Fiddlesticks changes. They aren't really hurting him or helping him. Except for early game, standing in one spot draining more than twice anybody can hurt you for is no longer there. I bet it's going to stop a lot of people playing him, just because of that.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]BUFF He was just terrible before. They still might need to rework his Drain though since it's just.. bad..[/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]BUff... But still hes one of the most scary champs to play when team fights start, if he hides in the bushes and ults on the group hes deadly lol.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]He's waaay too easy to counter to be scary, unless fed ofc. But only noobs feed Fiddles :P[/quote]

[quote=Haxes]Not really a buff or a nerf, as other people have said it'll just change how you play him a bit. Hopefully jungling fiddle can still do well.[/quote]
