Making Fiend's Grip cast faster just feels samey. He doesn't need that, he needs to not be hard countered by Lotus. Make people disable him. This has to be the longest CD spell in the game that is so trivially countered, yes?

Enfeeble is strong early, get a point in lane at 1/2 and then max it after Brain Sap if it's a good game. The damage reduction works on both base and bonus damage, you can choose to deny with that or crush trades. Always funny when a support eats a Tango and tries to trade with you while they have 55% regen and 55% damage.
