Not wanna sound like a song on repeat, but what he needs is a rework. He doesn't have a really defined role in the game, his spells don't synergize very well and ever since the jungle has become that important and early focused, he has been bullied out of his main role.

Like. There is literally nothing that Fiddle can do better than anyone else. He doesn't have a nieche. There is not a single situation in which you would think "Damn, now I should play Fiddlesticks!" It's not even that the champs is underpowered, it's the simple fact that his spells are too linear with little to no counterplay but also little to no outplay potential, so they can't be made more powerfull, cause that would instantly make him op.

The champ is just uninteractive as hell. And the only depth that his kit has is the vision game for his ultimate, yet again everyone should play the vision game regardless of champion, so that's kind of obsolete. Furthermore his ingame design and his gameplay don't live up to the fantasy that he is supposed to deliver. I don't even think that Riot is sure about what fantasy that is. Is he supposed to be scary? Or rather goofy? Who knows? Riot definitely doesn't. And right now he doesn't do justice to either one.

What I find even more funny is that a lot of the playerbase of Fiddle doesn't want to have a rework. And not because they are afraid that the rework will fail and basically make a new champion out of him, that would be understandable, but because they think his kit is perfect as it is. Although he can never be strong without being too strong. And never be mediocre without being garbage.

His point and click nature which also provides two of the rarest and strongest CC's in the game, combined with the fact that his spells don't synergize and he doesn't have a defined role in the game, mean that he will never be really balanced. And that goes beyond numbers.
