@Fiddle Mains, Is This Accurate?

TL;DR: Weak early, strong mid, falls off late.

Early Game Pre-6, he can countergank or gank overextended lanes, but he ultimately wants to farm 6, obviously. His clears are on the slow side and his dueling isn't great, so he has a pretty predictable play style early on. Overall, extremely low pressure compared to other junglers at this point.

Post-6, his ganks are pretty much free kills when executed properly, which should lead to some objectives going Fiddlesticks's way.

Mid Game His strongest point. Has plenty of damage, people won't usually have summoner 1 or have built item 3140 yet, so his Q and E are still functional, and he likely has item 3152 built, increasing his consistency. His winrate shows this to be his strongest point, shooting up to 55% between the 20 to 30 minute mark.

Luckily, Fiddlesticks does some serious damage at this point in the game, and hopefully it can close the game out quickly.

Late Game More of a walking ultimate than anything. Q is no longer functional, it'll just get item 3140, and his E doesn't offer much. His W is out of the question, and people will walk out of his ultimate if it isn't comboed with some AoE CC.

Worse yet, if his team isn't winning, he won't have vision control, making consistent ults even harder to pull off.

If all of this is accurate, is he still worth using, in your opinion? If not, what do you disagree with?

Pretty wrong actually

You can get firstblood within the first few minutes of the game if your laner is a melee assassin who thinks they can auto you to death while you drain their health

Lane fiddle is strong early to mid, even outs to falls off mid to late. Late is strong with good ult.

Jungle is opposite. Weak early.

Its because jungle is a mobile lane and you can't really protect yourself. Plus Ad preform better with melee attacks than AP in jungle.

Support fiddle is same at mid. But if you don't feed and play safe they can't stop you after 6.

But if fiddle gets behind its hold out till everyone is farmed up because you suck. I don't play him jungle anymore and I have been a fiddle main since season 1. I was a plat 1 fiddle support 2 season ago. Just hard to play all the games with family/work. But I can always make it to gold easily to get the rewards.

Tips for fiddle.

Ticks of ult do more than drain. If you ult on someone run with them to max the ult damage then drain. This is unless you can crow then drain to make the crows bounce to him.

Surprise damage of crow bounce. This is my main source of damage. As support or mid you can control your lane with crows. when the jungle comes to gank. Pull them and the lane champs past there minions. This will make crows do max damage. Many of ganks have turned into double kills mid .

Don't play support fiddle if you can't mid fiddle. It is not for the weak of heart. Practice in normal ALOT. because you can feed and lose bad so easily.

Fear is broken...... not op. Just remember if that champ has an animation like HEC charge, or Riven / ahri your fear will not work. It will use your fear then allow them to finish the animation and skill plus melee hit. (don't tell me differently I have tested it. Yes they can still get melee attack while feared if its involved with animation.) Therefore, know when you should and shouldn't fear.

Late game you need to be able to immune fast or ult flash fear and kill the carry for the team. Remember if you can kill the carry or do 50% damage to the whole team you did your job. But I pick out the most fed person or who is carrying and remove them to make it a 4v5 or 4v4. alost of times its a 4v4 because I die doing so. but if I die and their carry dies plus I didn't 30 to 40% damage to the team we should win the fight.
