I was thinking of getting...
Fiddles for jg and Maokai for top. How's that sounds? If it can help, I also added my champ pool with a bunch of baddies.

you should prob get all the 450ip champs
Maokai is good. His original role is jungler, he is equally good at top and can even work as support. I like him. Strong in current meta. Fiddledix is decent. Best suited for jungle but can also go mid and support. Blue buff dependent yet can solo dragon at level 2. Not that great in current meta.
I would also suggest other champs. Udyr is a strong jungler and simple to learn on. I like him better than Fiddledix. I noticed your ADC pool is pretty shallow, just Tristana. I recommend buying an ADC soon just so your roster has more depth to it if you ever play that role. Caitlyn is real simple and easy to play, Jinx is seeing nerfs next patch but is also strong and straight forward and Graves is strong in the current meta. If you want a cheaper buy Sivir and Ashe, but Sivir is stronger right now, Kog'maw demolishes tanks and is a sleeper pick. Avoid buying Twitch and Draven for the ADC role.

You missed graves :P I really dislike botlane, that's why I have so few (2) adcs. I planned to eventually get Kog'maw, but he isn't one of my priorities... A while ago, I asked people what they thought about mao jg; Results was he wasn't too good, at least not now. I don't really like udyr. Another jungler I had in mind was jarvan, but he's banned a lot...

Not sure how credible the people telling you jungle maokai wasn't good, but there was a time when he was very bad. Maybe 8 months ago. Now he's a strong pick in any role except ADC. He still can't ADC. Top and Jungle are his best roles. I like him best at jungle though. And ADC is quite boring. You will be the major damage output on your team that's for sure but early game you're so weak that they specifically have a role designated to covering up that weakness. So I understand the feeling. Playing Kog'maw is quite boring. One of the duller ones to play as. Lacks hard CC, has an underwhelming (but spammable) ultimate and his passive is almost non-existent due to all of the high mobility champions roaming the rift nowadays. But with the dawn of the tank meta his ability to shred through tanks is desirable, but due to his lack of mobility he needs a very specific team built around disengagements. Janna, Alistar, Xin Zhao, Orianna, Jayce, Jarvan and anyone with a peel goes well with him. Without those peels Kog'maw is pretty lack luster. He is one of the few champions who can match Caitlyn's range early game (Tristana gets outranged early game) and scales better into late game than Caitlyn. His ultimate gives vision so that counters Twitch and somewhat counters Vayne. Sivir struggle against Kog'maw outside the laning phase. Kog'maw's vomit trail can nullify a Sivir ultimate but Sivir's spell shield can shield her from one use of Kog'maw's ult shots so that will just make Kog'maw use a bit more mana to kill her. He is good for the tank meta, but as far as the most frequent ADCs being used (Caitlyn, Kalista, Jinx & Graves) he's subpar. Caitlyn is easiest ADC to do well with. Falls off late game but early game is one of the strongest. That's why I recommend her.

I can't really tell if they base their opinion on anything else than their experiences. I did end up buying him ; would you have any builds to recommand?

The build I use in jungle is as follows:

That's as an AP bruiser. I also have the following items that I build occasionally:

Alright, I'll check it out. Thanks!
Fiddles sucks after nerfs. Go Mao. This coming from someone who has ONLY played Fiddles during season 3 and 4 lol. Don't even want to touch him now.
