Can Fiddlesticks be played in bot lane?
I'm bad at playing Fiddle Jungle, but i'm good at playing him in the bot lane. Should I stop doing this? Does anybody else do this?

Support fids works well because he's got some of the best CC in the game with his huge fear and his multi-target silence. The enemy has to be careful all-inning you because you can just silence them and CC them. You in turn have a great all-in skill with your ultimate ability. You can negate the damage their adc does by healing yourself with W. ALWAYS watch your mana, you are a sitting duck w/o it. He's actually very good support and jungle rn IMO.
It's actually an extremely popular pick, considering. Websites like op.gg rate him Tier 1 or 2 out of 5.
Yes, he's a good support if played correctly.
I would strongly advise you to build 
so your crow bounce isn't screwing your ADC. Otherwise go HAM.
Fiddle is a known off meta support. I do not think he scales hard enough to be played as a farming champion in bot lane (unlike some other mage picks).
Fiddle can easily win team fights so yea, fiddle is just good in general tbh.
Are you asking about support fiddle or replace the ADC with a fiddlesticks?
Support works. No idea how well replacing an ADC with fiddlesticks will go.
I always pick Fiddle if the enemy support picks Nami. He's such a hard counter to her that it makes her basically useless in lane.

Sure that is where I main him now. (jungle and mid just not made for fiddle. Sorry its just the truth)
Two play styles CC bot or damage control.
CC bot doesn't work as well in lower tiers as damage control. Because you can still carry a game.
imo is the first and best item for you. (after warding item) First it puts a slow on your Drain and Crows. This will allow you to fear then crow them. Major escapes from ganks. Later stages when they dive your ADC and you drain them its funny how slow they walk. They will then be forced to fight you (while your drain is healing and ADC blows them up) or stay snared as the ADC kites and kills them.
Rest of the build is optional. 
Puts your in a really strong position to carry the extra weight so to speak. Look at my match history. Two normal games involved master and high diamond players..... they felt the fiddle support. (watch the game not just the scores) Ah nothing like plats and gold beating a team of master/high diamonds.
First you have to learn when to ult and when to protect the adc. Because if you ult your adc might not have any peel. If in lane ult all the time and push them out or get kills. (just be sneaky and get a lot of pinks for vision before you ult.) Late game use ult for protecting objective and to guard the ADC, pick off someone, or engage because your team sucks and you can take everyone to 30% hp so your other teammates can kill them and feel like they are carrying.
Laning phase try and time your crows to him them multiple times and not steal farm. If you need to get a manaflow proc throw the bats. If you see 3 about dead minions wait until they die. This means a greater chance for enemy hits. Always save mana for fear. Because as a fiddle support, jungle and mid will want to camp you. So keeping an eye for jungle and roams is a must. Fear then wait a sec while running to through a crow to silence/snare after the fear wears off.
I like to level drain/fear and one level of crows. 20 extra damage per bounce sucks compared to 20 a tick on drain. Drain means I can take dragons with ADC without fear. Poke and sustain back up. Take enemy jungle at the start. Punish the non CCIng champs (or if CC is down.) Level what you like the best. However, drain will cause you to control the bot of the map and tank baron for the team. (baron and dragon tanking is crazy good)
Oh the death bush. OK here is a tip to destroy newbies in lane. If you start top side. Ward the bot tri bush and their red. (invade and back out) If they are starting red only help your jungle for 3 hits. Then run to the tri. Wait until they walk down. Now with Crows and ignite you will send bot back or get a kill. (adc needs to help you if you want to get FB). Because of the bouncing and ignite they can't stay in lane. If they do all summoners will be down and pots used with them at 30% to 40%. Lane control. (lesson of the day is don't walk that way lol)
Sorry I quickly typed this if there are errors in grammar. But let me know if you have any questions. Biggest thing is that the score doesn't tell how you played. So many times I have ulted team to protect our baron take or push them back to take objectives. Sure I died, but they had to back and we used baron to kill 3 turrets just isn't under the damage meter at the end if you know what I mean.
Fiddle support has been a korean contested pick for a while now. Its good, but you have to play it correctly- its easy to get cucked.
I guess I should look up a bot Fiddlesticks guide. Thanks for the answers![sg-miss-fortune]
