For people struggling with Fiddlesticks atm

Try eletrocute. Aery and comet won't let you 100 to 0 someone like you need to on fiddlesticks. He's always been a strong user of thunderlords and well, electrocute's damage is much higher than thunderlords, just a longer cooldown. Your fear also counts as a spell when procing electrocute even though it's a non-damaging spell allowing you to use it easily.

I prefer fiddle as a laner....top, mid and support but his jungle can still work. Core items for me are generally: If I am top lane and know the guy I am laning against is going to rush straight MR, get a first item. First back goals generally are ....early sorc boots are great too since everyone generally has low MR. If there is a skillshot you need to avoid like etc, go If you are playing against champs with no gap closers that you want to slow for your team so they get kited like be sure to pick up a which of course works well with your If you feel slows won't help and you already have your core and they aren't stacking MR, think about a or

Max e first unless you find yourself being chased down and fighting a lot, then max drain first but always start e. Normally max e, then q, then drain with maybe 2 early points into drain if I feel I need it. Be sure to brush cheese and make the enemy laner terrifed to walk into lane...if he's not questioning his life choices when walking forward when you aren't even there, you aren't doing it right.

Runes I use: Domination - Electrocute, cheap shot, eyeball collection ( can use zombie ward though), Relentless Hunter (can use Ingenius hunter) Sorcery - Manaflow band, Scorch...standard stuff.

Trust me, the character is a lot better than his winrate. He may not be OP, but he's not nearly as bad as people think he is. I just feel they are using the wrong mastery when going aery and comet.
