He's unfun to play against and the only fun thing about playing as him is his ult. He's akin to the old Fiora in the sense that he's a bad champion that relies on the fact that his kit exploits the soloQ format to maintain his winrate. The majority of his player base were experienced players, but his play rate continues to drop with every nerf.
Ultîma2 votesHum... how is Fiddlesticks like old Fiora? She had an AOE, god-like team-fighting ultimate that made her invulnerable and allowed her to obliterate an enemy team with no possibility of counterplay. While Fiddle has reasonable CC with his Fear and Silence, he is no-where near the fuckery that was Fiora. Also in what way does his kit exploit soloQ? Also most champions see a drop in play-rates after nerfs, this isn't inconsistent with anything else seen in LoL. You're suggesting a lot without really explaining anything.
TotalJerk1 votesFiora stomped in soloQ but was bad against coordinated teams because she was completely selfish champion. Selfish champions work against randoms but not against coordinated teams. Fiddlesticks relies on the enemy team doing a poor job of keeping track of him and not counter-jungling, which is a pretty common thing in soloQ.
Both were champions that are heavily reliant on a lack of coordination but never see pro play mainly because they abuse the soloQ mindset.
Here's some explanations to his problems:
And all of these shitty aspects about him a deliberately kept that way or are the result of nerfs. These are there to keep his SoloQ in check.
