Talk:Fiddlesticks/@comment-4840597-20140729155616

So I was thinking about raid bosses, and then I thought: fiddlesticks. Just imagine it. Fiddlesticks with Sprits Visage, Randiuns, Additional situational MR and AR items, and maybe a Rylais (though randiuns should be enough.).

This fiddlesticks with 3k hp, and 200-300 resists teleports into your team, dealing 325 magic damage per second, slowing everyone with his randiuns, causing mass chaos with silences and fears. Then you try to kill him - but theres the problem. His drain suddenly is incredible because of his resists, combined with the spirits visage. The fewer people there are to CC him, the tankier he gets as his drain gets harder to cancel. Even if he does get instantly killed it isnt so bad, because like with most raid bosses, in that time, your team has done more than enough damage to make up for it.

Fiddlesticks also has the freedom to lane or jungle, and with his fear he could even be played as a non conventional support if you were feeling frisky. Jungle would likely be the safest option though.

Main issues I see:

-Mid game will suffer heavily because of it.

-Mana issues unless a mana item is gotten, will likely require an early glacial or even full on frozen to give him enough mana, especially in the late game mana spamathon. Drain is 120 mana every 6 (before CDR) seconds. Thats 120 mana every 3.6 seconds at max cdr, or around 40 mana per second. Taking out the 300 mana for 1 Q, E and R, at level 18 that is a spare mana pool of 1k, leaving only 25 seconds of drain time, which implies another 2 Qs and Es, making it even shorter. Mana issues indeed.

-Ult isnt as reliable as it could be for the whole SUDDENLY IM IN YOUR FACE tank, like malphite or weedwick. Sudden changes in enemy movement or even ally movement can mess up your ult and waste precious ult damage that you need.

Main strengths:

+Insane sustain with drain combined with SV and resists.

+Fairly high base ratios and decent CC capability

+OH S**T SUDDENLY FIDDLE factor ( http://youtu.be/LZnN9ou7CxQ?t=46s )

+Unusual pick, people arent really used to dealing with a tank fiddle (or at least I think so? I rarely see fiddle, let alone tanky raid boss fiddle), so you have the advantage there.

+1k range MR shred passive is not only great for you, but great for your team as well, Abyssal sceptre can also be got for a situational tanky deeps item to add even more shred.

Thoughts?
