Seeking tips & tricks: Fiddlesticks ( 2016 S6 ) Jungle/Support!

So when I first re-joined League I decided Fiddlesticks would be the champion I re-learned the game with because he seemed like he would fit my needs the best. I want to main support, learning jungle as a secondary role. I've really enjoyed playing him as a support and have recently tried him in the Jungle only to find, for some reason, playing him as a jungler seems much harder to me. He has nice clears but I'm really not sure how to gank or go about teamfights; maybe it is because my mentality shifts a little when I play him as a Jungler.


As a support I've tried him a few different ways. I've actually really liked finishing my support item and then going into Zhonya's followed by boots/Rylai's so my ult works to slow foes for my team. In lane I start with my E along with a Spellthief's Edge, single red potion and a pink. I use my E to harass and then maxing my Q while putting a point in W at level 3. I'm usually able to repel anybody who tries to engage and harass without mana issues. If my lane is ahead sometimes I'll gank other lanes with ult but I've found my ultimate is a surprisingly good follow-up when I bait the enemy bot-laners.

As a Jungler I usually build Zhonya's ASAP or after my jungle item and/or boots and then rush Zhonya's. I tend to build more like a carry and try to gank when I see an opening. The thing is I'm not a confident carry and I'd much rather my team get the kills instead of me ( so I often play Rammus instead of Fiddlesticks ) so I'm not really sure how to use Fiddlesticks to that end assuming it is possible at all.


I'd love any advice you'd offer. Fiddlesticks is a champion I really enjoy ( his kit, his skins, his attitude, etc. ) and I want to get better with this champion so I can get better at the game. I've already looked at guides around the internet ( excluding unsafe sites like lolking.net ) but I'm hoping that the community will be able to ask me questions a guide can't ask me in terms of giving me more specific advice as a result. My thanks to you all in advance!

FIddle is very weak right now, however, Runic Echoes helped him out alot. If you're going support, max fear and dark wind, don't even touch drain. Get a Frost Queens and then a Zhonyas ASAP. Sightstone is nice too but if you're ahead just buy pinks. You're very squishy, so be careful. Good luck!

Generally build your jungle item after Zhonyas, because you really do not need it for jungling early because of your W. Always make sure you are as close to the enemy as possible when you do your e>q>w combo.

Here is a link to StoneWall008, a very good jungler who gives good play overview and insight into how he plays each particular champion in the jungle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EztFv8NHRo
