Remove Fiddlesticks from League of Legends (or rework him)

The Issue

Fiddlesticks as a support creates an unfun environment for both the opponent and the fiddle player himself. It is unfun for the opponent due to the fact fiddle can poke from across the lane with his point and click e which bounces between both minions and champs, whether they are in vision or not. This is an issue because the adc player can do close to nothing about the outcome of getting hit by the E, which will then proc aery, the keystone most likely accompanying the fiddlesticks support. Another issue is his Q which is point and click hard cc which adds another element of close to no counterplay. The only viable option against it is waiting for it to be down or to purchase a qss which puts you 1300 gold behind. Another issue is the fact his E has such a low mana cost that he can spam it freely without punishment. Being hit with 140 damage level 1... REPEATEDLY causes you to realistically be removed from the early game.

The other issue is for the summoner who is playing fiddlesticks. There are so many other champions in league that are so much more further developed and provide much more complex and immersive game play. While playing fiddlesticks there is almost nothing you can do that proves your skill as a player excluding the fact you are playing the meta. There is not a single skillshot on the champion and his other abilities do not rely on skillful gameplay. Fiddle provides no form of entertainment other than winning and forcing your lane opponents into despair.

If fiddlesticks were to receive a rework or be temporarily disabled, it would provide for a much less toxic time in the already atrocious meta that is season 8 botlane.
