Just wondering if I could get some thoughts/tips on running Fiddlesticks support. I'm looking for more Mage support options (getting tired of being the only tank) and the usual suspects (Karma, Zilean, Zyra) are getting old. I use Janna, Lulu, and Lux so I don't need to try them.
Basically, if you've got any advice, I'd be happy to take it.
Thanks.
Mistikal2 votesit's just kinda,
meh....
he runs into the same problem bot lane as he does jungle. If the enemy understands how to ward so you cant surprise ult them, you become a semi useless single target peel bot who gets 1 shot by just about everyone in the game.

Be really careful with Dark Wind and talk to your marksman about what they want to do with their wave, as auto-pushing a wave because you want to harass can mess up the beat your ally is trying to CS to and through off their tempo. Usually worth stealing 1 CS if you can get 3 bounces on the same guy by hitting 1 remaining minion, not worth if you through off the tempo for 3 CS and miss your opponents.
Also: you might want to try full-tank scarecrow. Fiddlestick's base damages are absurdly high (if he can stick around long enough to use them), as his QWER combo is capable of ~2,900 damage with 3 bounces/max-drain/max ult. Average HP @18 is only ~2000, and marksman will have ~1800 more often than not. Even with 30 MR the effective hit points of a squishy is low enough a perfect combo will kill them. While you probably won't get a perfect combo off and you're lack of levels will prevent a true OHKO blast, being able to stick around, absorb focus, and waddle in the midst of your opponents while you drain/fear spam is going to net you some solid presence and damage.
Also: Relic Shield kind of solves some issues with Dark Wind eating CS. Despite being ranged and lacking execute damage, it's not like Fiddle has issues finishing off the occasional minion. I say this mostly because even with how solid support income is now, running spooky ghosts first will make you pretty squish for the majority of the game regardless of what you grab afterwards.
FrankerX1 votesadvice: just dont. he doesnt fit in the meta right now, there is much better cc than his fear, his other skills dont deal dmg and the e silence is useless since it doesnt refresh if he hits targets more often (besides the fact that it has a retard minion>>>>>>>>champ priority) champs are too mobile so hitting with his ult is almost impossible and ofc he is squishy as fuck. you are better support with garen ap not even kidding.
