Can someone explain how Fiddlesticks takes skill to play?

He just uses his point and click fear and then auto wins every trade. And he also has ZERO skillshots in his kit.

No I didn't lose to a Fiddle. I just think his kit is stupid. And he's not "short range" The range he gets on dark wind and fear is actually fairly long.

Okay, I'll stop being edgy.

He had decent-ranged poke and very high damage if you let him ult you. But he's still immobile and squishy. Unless he gets to go in on you (and has his fear/hourglass) there's nothing he can do. The key is to be aggressive and never let him choose his fights. Save any CC you have for either a 2-man catch or his drain if 1v1.

The best way to learn to fight him is to play as him. See what people try against you, see what works and see what doesn't. No champ is easy. Not even Garen.

I could argue on how wrong that is, but my best tip would be to actually play the champ.

Unless fed, Fiddle really doesn't deal that much damage. Sure his kit is "simple" But when his fear is down, his biggest damage source is his drain, which requires him to stay idle and makes him an easy target. Fiddle is very vulnerable by himself.

He is squishy and interruptable and has no escapes. His only survival mechanism is a drain which in effect roots him.

Also his ult requires patience and some coordination to use properly, he is kind of useless if he can't land his ult as well.

He doesn't take much skill to play. Nor is he particularly good.

Fiddles is a earlygame lane bully and if you play too aggressive he will punish you w/ E>Q>W combo (draining you so the crow bounces prioritize drain target) and you'll be wondering how he bursted you so hard.

Fiddles main way he takes skill is having impact w/ his aoe ult, and managing his cooldowns (especially early game) to keep himself safe. For example if your jungler jumps him and forces out his fear (bonus points if he e's too) thats the time to go in b/c earlygame his cooldowns are relatively long.

And lategame fiddle's poke is not that impactful, so being useful at all lategame depends on landing good ults which takes smart positioning and decision making on when to go in.

He takes some skill such as if he surprise Ults from a side wall. if the team doesn't back him up he will be dead as soon as his zhonyas is out. He just has nothing to get away from people that can stick onto him. Any CC just ends him. Any champion that can burst him gives him a grey screen.

He's a free win. In jungle he gets wrecked by literally any other jungler, and mid he just takes waveclear away from his team. Only annoying if your team ints him
