There isn't quite a simple answere to that, there are multiple reasons he isn't doing super well right now. One being the introduction of MR per Level for everyone, in combination with the loss of the MR recution passive he has back then. Also we have a wired meta with lots of tanks which pack items like the new Solari AND high DPS champions that kill everything that doesn't onewhot them. And that's something Fiddle can't.

All his damage is backloaded and needs time to kick in. While he can't properly shred through tanks anymore, he isn't able to chunk the ADC's either (because of things like Solari and other shields), turning him almost useless.

Without Zonyahs he won't survive 1 second during his ult and when you're in there, the ADC can either run out of your ult or is getting protected and kills the rest of your team till you're available again. Jungle champs with lots of CC and/or burst are popular right now and Fiddle only has a silence, which might be good, and a single target close range fear that is poorly designed by default.

His clear and gank speed is bad compared to most others aswell. Which is sad because I really like his Idea and the Drain/jump up out of nowhere mechanic are super cool. But oh well. We need to wait for his rework I guess. Shouldn't be so long anymore.
