49% winrate fiddlesticks after 200% damage buff to jungle, now he is more often played as support.

So this is very strange, riot buffs fiddle for use in the jungle but now he is actually played more as a support than jungle. It just goes to show how useless fiddlesticks is in the jungle. Too tricky and not rewarding, easily item countered with Merc treads and null magic mantle. I play a ton of fiddle for sure, some games I'll do very well as I know the champ so much and play him so much. At times I go 4/0 but once they build MR that lead doesn't matter as the item counters for AP jungles are far too huge. No longer a rewarding champion to play, even if you do everything right.

So I have a question, who would you bet on to win? A 4/0 master yi or a 4/0 jungle fiddlesticks?

it kinda makes sense, they took his crow damage to minions so support fiddle pushes the lane less when he pokes. the bigest thing the change did was remove him from mid where he was able to bully champs like azir

I play fiddle mid a ton and it falls off. It hard counters a good number of champions but still has it's weakness, valdamir and swain crush him mid game as they become untouchable. Ekko un-fightable with his dashes and rewinds, same with any dash champ. the only way to build fiddle is pure glass AP and it is countered too hard by MR items and even if you play well it doesn't scale well and isn't rewarding as much as AD mids.

They just need to buff fiddlesticks ult. it used to do a significant amount of damage to champs now with tank upgrades it feels weak

Yea for example katarina is quite similar to fiddlesticks. Aoe and such, of course, not a tank killer. she is much more rewarding though as an ap. I might do jungle katarina.

Yea I know jungle ekko is a thing for a little bit now it is getting sidelined too. fiddlesticks has no place in league.
