So I see all of these threads about Kassadin, Veigar, and Azir being trash now and I agree with most of them. However, I do not see any about our favorite sp00kster, Fiddlesticks. I mean, he just got nerfed two patches in a row for what, I think, are bad reasons. Am I being dumb and completely out of the meta or is he not even worth talking about now?
Zahz2 votesnah fiddles still good. his nerfs were pretty minor
MarkedOfKane1 votesI think fiddle is fine.
His ult does lots of damage, its even better if his team uses it to their advantage.
A lot of the games with him in it turn into "Stop fiddle from ulting". His silence and fear are also pretty good.
AnOstrichWithPMS1 votesthey should remove all his other abilities and give him doombot fiddles ultimate where u can global ult anywhere on the map
Nucleophilic atk1 votesThey basically forced Fiddles into the jungle. They killed his lane game. So it is what you would rather. If you want to jungle, then he is still ok, except when they pick an early ganker since you will be so far behind. If you liked lane sticks, I wouldn't suggest it anymore. I have much more trouble now against worse opponents.
SecretFangsPing1 votesSo RIP in peacerino Middlesticks? What jungle route do you suggest? Still start at blue, right?
OhOkYeah1 votesAny route you want really. Fiddle doesn't need blue buff, or any buff. So if you want to gank top first, you can start krug and just go across till nothing's left.
But fiddle's ganks are weak, his ult is easily dodged by just right clicking on the map. You have to come from behind and fear them toward your turret in most situations (most situations being that your laner hasn't gotten the enemy very low, or they are low and can't/won't help you with the gank).
Nucleophilic atk1 votesYea, pretty much. There are a few matchups he still works well in mid and top lane. I wouldn't take him support anymore since it is shitty now. I would start grompy, smite blue, and then be on your way. Early ganks from Fid suck, so just farm til 6 lol.
qetzel1 votesA 54% win rate with a 7.4% pick rate suggests that he is still too strong, actually.
He is strong because the change to the jungle didn't affect him at all, really (exaggeration). His sustain is so high that he can clear and gank just as well.
