Tips Against Fiddlesticks in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
NeonRST says âhard to interact with
needs alot of vision control to fight
his passive is a nightmare for you so sneak around
good fiddles will always stay hidden till the last momentâ
AnalniyDarkin says âAnnoying. His Q fears you out of walls. Silences from stealth (E). Track him constantlyâretreat from potential ult walls. Never fight without vision.â
Saitarox says âFaster Clear, Outscale you and he's wards can stop your snowball, he can snare your snowball with his Q or E and he's healing a lot. Try to stun him when he's on his W then you can kill him if you have team to back up, he's squeashyâ
squidpbn says âhe's not the threat here but his point and click fear plus the silence is basically a free kill for the enemy team the second you engageâ
lol_excalibur says âInsanely hard for Eve to win vs Fiddle. Even if you get ahead of him at first, if you get caught in a single ult of his he has so much CC you'll likely die before you can ult. To beat Fiddle you need to play around vision and take unique angle to avoid getting caught in his ult. â
Nightmare Painter says âFiddle Diddle is similar to the AoE dot gang. His W makes you sad in your Q since he can still see you. Teamfighting is a pain against him. Best you can do is try to ward and box preemtivley so he ults into them. Not the worst, but not fun either.â
Hazardist says âFiddlesticks can disengage easily from you and a good ultimate can turn a lost fight into a clean ace, but he needs to halt himself during his W which leaves an easy window of opportunity for you to land all your skillshots on him and stop him.
Runeset to take: Phase Rush.â
SudbaTalon says â- take ignite, all
- u win smite battle
- expect him to wait for ult angle - u win 1 vs 1
- your mobility and flanking help dealing with fiddle suprises â
77th.MysteryHeart says âhe is annoying but just remember to save W for a quick escape if you cant see him on the map (and dont forget to buy control ward and tell teammates to ward alot)â
Fyrrnix says âAs most mages he's not at all dangerous in early game if you take advantage of him.
Unless he has a team to back him up during engages the most he'll do is CC you and then try to run away or heal
You could buy [[executioner's calling]] early but he's nowhere near as dangerous as [[warwick]] or [[briar]] when it comes to self-heal.â
Reprobatus says â[[force of nature]] counters him so well. Can (E) [[shadow dash]] his sucky sucky to cancel his heals. Really his only win con is a good team fight (R) [[crowstorm]] ace. (R) [[stand united]] your carries if you have to during his (R) [[crowstorm]].â
Crow7420 says â[Shadow Assassin Favored] Fiddle is an odd one out, while he can't duel you he is difficult to pin down due to his Q and E. His W buffers through your ULT so do keep it in mind or else you might get unexpected surprise.â
goose.mp4 says âNot very easily killed but he can't really kill you either. A lot easier to bully than Ekko but is even harder to kill due to him have hard CC and healing. Invade him early and always ward around blind area before engaging in fights.â
Bav Bros YT says âIts importand to destroy him in the early game. You should also buy tenacity. His fear counters your R pretty hard, this is why you should activate R only if he already used his fear. In a 1v1 you can beat him easily,but he is the better teamfighter.â
kittygore says âYou win against him. Try to cleanse his fear and care if his zhonyas is up or not. You can oneshot him in every stage of the game when he got no zhonyas.â
SelfLOL says âSHIT TON OF CC .Buy EON. Save Stacks for cleanse. Get vision. Care r over walls .Tracking is very important. Weak early .Can invade if good opportunity Scales extremely well get vision over walls and ask team for vision.Think if u were fiddle where would u r from in this fight. Great teamfight Strong with lead. MAW. Blue trinket.
â
friendlyfarmer123 says âCan almost match your farm and deal a huge amount of damage to you and your team. I would suggest invading him once you're level 6 and after you've spent your gold and contesting his farm.â
Le Korvo says âJungle: Knowledge check matchup, if he uses his Q in the wrong time you can probably kill him. Beware as he can reveal you invisible.â
UrPersonalGod says âYou can R him out of his W or R when he ults ur team to get him away from them.
You should be able to 1v1 him most of the time.â
Jackiewawa says âFull clears but can be extremely deadly in fights with his ult if you don't get vision on him beforehand. Keep him outside of your W so he can't fear you with point and click Q fear and his E silence. Get wards over walls where he can ult for objectives. You can easily run him down after 1st item.â
ZedAway says âhis only problem before level 6 is his fear, after level 6 ward all lane bushes and catch him trying to take them, or catch the adc isolated.â
DoxxTheLeague says âhis r is just broken especially with malignence build mr get perma vision around every inch around every objective or you lose his r is a game changer just like yours but his is stronger must build mr item kaenic into force as last 2 items are extremely strongâ
kimijebac123 says âhard/impossible matchup, he wins you early so u cant try to fight him, has higher dmg and makes this impossible to be usefull untill getting force of nature then this matchup drops to kinda evenâ
Nyxxx says âFIDDLE ME BALLS
He's not inherently a strong champ. Burst him down fast so you don't have to deal with his healing (then take him for yourself and heal).â
orka4.sandraj says âNot mobile, can be easily hit by Q (he may build rocket belt), also his kit is based on silences and fears, which can all be reflected with your E.â
Neekster says âThis champion clears the same time as you do. Same with Evelynn, Abuse his weak early game, skirmish or gank before he gets level 6.â
lurutin says âHe has a good clear and ganks a lot but there is no strong point against you, just pay attention cause if he fears you with your ultimate active you will run a lot and maybe he can desengage using this or you will have to fight without ultimate.â
Yomu says âIf you post up and catch him, it should be a 1 shot, he canât run from you because your second W will catch up to him after he Qâs. Care for Fiddle ult because you will die.â
Maciejson says âYou lose all fights against this champion, as his W will always win trades. Avoid fighting him. If Fiddlesticks uses his W and you ult inside it, the W damage will still execute if youâre low, so try to ult when he isnât using W. As Rhaast, you can knock him up after his R since he canât move, assuming you arenât already dead. Rhaast's knockup cancels his W healing, which usually allows you to kill him if you are even in terms of gold. As Shadow Assassin (SA), you can one-shot him only if his abilities are on cooldown, so be cautious of his Zhonya's Hourglass.â
huncho1v9 says âMedium matchup. Handshake full clears with fiddle and avoid his fears with your W and youâll be fine. If you get feared lategame, you probably just lose the teamfight. Very important to get vision on him midgame/lategame. You can easily run him down after 1 item. Fiddle can easily land his W on you though, as itâs similar range to your W. Try to save your W for his Q.â
huncho1v9 says â- Fiddlesticks is very similar to Evelynn in terms of playstyle and champ identity. The matchup itself is easy and you wonât get invaded by Fiddle ever, but itâs hard to get ahead against him as his clear matches yours and he has lockdown cc lategame + Fiddle is always useful lategame no matter how behind. Itâs important to get blue ward mid/lategame and make sure he canât get any R angles for your team. Your job in this matchup is to make him as useless as possible, and if you get ahead you just run him down. Conqueror is usually best in this matchup (with tenacity rune, but it depends on enemy comp. â
kcjackal__ says âswap to blue ward later when playing against fiddle. Can shotgun him with your w to cancel his heal. If you lose to fiddle it's support gap.â
lanefox says âFiddle can ruin all of your engage. Keep an eye on him during fights and plan around his abilities.
Try to work on the outskirts of the fights until you know he can't cc you.â
Fyir says âHe can invade your jungle and clear it quickly but he poses little threat to you without ult. He is a sitting duck once you slow him but don't sit in his drain ability unless you can kill him quickly. His ult changes teamfights but you can pull him away from your team with your ult or speed them up out of it with w.â
RickTheMage says âAnnoying when invading, you have to wait to spend his fear in the fields to try to kill him, always putting the box on his foot after he uses the W. And pay a lot during fights, always look for him on the flanks so you have the chance to kill him or prevent him from doing anything in the fights.â
IvernGott says âFiddlesticks is a good thread after lvl 6 making his ganks over wall unpredictable sometimes but with the right tracking and bluewards from ur teammates you can avoide that.
By tracking his pathing u can protect ur teammates early into the game from his ganks.â
Kittylxz says âCasi no sufre en la jungla asĂ que invadirle es un tema de 50/50 porque tendrĂas que rezar a que no tenga sus enfriamientos listos, ya cuando el tiene ulti depende bastante de tu team si dejan que se vuelva una amenaza o no.â
DjapeFromSerbia says âReally fast and healthy clear, on crab it probably should be 50/50. He won't all in you, and neither you can him. So just try to outsmite him.â
Fessor ivern twitch says âENG:
FIDDLESTICKS MANAGES TO MAKE DAISY GO BACK.
______________________________________________________
PT:
O FIDDESTLICKS CONSEGUE FAZER A MARGARIDA VOLTAR PARA TRĂS.â
HawkSP says âFiddlesticks' farm rate and unpredictable ultimates make him a formidable foe. Disrupting his positioning with Daisy and warding potential ult paths are key to managing this threat.â
X3mHills says âIn this spooky-spooky matchup, you should buy Mercury's Treads for added magic resistance, and make sure to have plenty of wards for vision control. Remember to purchase control wards every time you back. To deal with his ultimate, try to avoid it by running away, and then retaliate with a kill. This matchup can be quite challenging.â
oneshotudyr says âIf you run towards him with your E, he can fear you. If you waste your E too early, he heals back using his W. The idea is to wait for him to waste his CC, then waste his W, then stun him and Q2. His ultimate is great for teamfights and can make or break an objective, so be very careful around him and try to snipe him before objectives.â
YICARY says âenemy champs with undodgeable cc like fiddlesticks fear are the easiest way to stop a yi from killing ur team (besides bursting him). having a qss as yi or asking ur to support to build mikaels is a MUST in those games.â
YICARY says âfiddle symbolizes the huge thread of CC for you. if u first pick yi -> enemy team picks rakan, fiddle AND ur team has no engage/peel for you, you absolutely HAVE to dodge this game. â
RuinedJG says âFiddle clears healthy, and fast. Get merc treads, go Conqueror bruiser. I like buying an early hex drinker, and getting FON 4th/5th item.â
MhmYepSope says âInsane ganks so make sure to let your teammates know where he is at all times. His Ult can completely win a teamfight so be aware of Ult angles. His wards completely block your Ult Vision. â
zLias says âits the same as noc, his W wont stop in your ultimate but he isnt that tanky so you can go blue form (build antiheal if he gets ahead).â
Ehrenemo says âI think you can only fight him when you have item advantage or got some stacks on Mejas but even than its very risky. Try to stun him while ultimate but becarefull daisy cant follow him and slow him because of his Q.â
jajkopajko says âYou should win most fights if you keep him at distance, stun him when casting his ult, if he ults run. You should be able to outdamage him later on in the game.â
Kazuo Murasaki says âInvade him early. When fighting, make him waste his W then you can go back in, So Q1 auto E auto and then he will Q Fear into W where you respond with your ward hop W out then Q back onto him once his W is wasted. Don't let him get into a good flank R angle on you or your team mid to late game by warding flank spots when its safe to do so.
â
veipz says âanother autistic champion i hate it, take mercury boots against him if poss take tenacity second rune. u can cancel his w with ur e thats good. track him annoying champ u win late game and early game but sometimes his ganks makes him snowball. take blue trinketâ
loganrichards says âIf you catch him in jungle. W towards him and try to Q after he Q's you. It will not always break your frenzy. If he ever W's then you charge E. it should be a 1 shot, he canât run from you because your second W will catch up to him after he Qâs. Care for Fiddle ult because you will die. â
basrty1p says âThe easiest match up in this list. Catch him with your combo and he is dead. Buy Zhonyas to protect from Ult and all-in in late game.
â
garbocan says âMassively outfarms Ivern while being extremely difficult to countergank or punish in any way. Fiddlesticks is also tough to deal with mid-late game due to his ult's unexpected nature. If you get caught in his fear, you won't be able to shield anyone until after it ends, which is enough time for Fiddle to have already won the teamfight.
During objective fights, Ivern can't effectively use bush walls, since Fiddle can just ult into them.
Your best chance vs Fiddle is to use W in places where he might be before a fight in hopes of spotting him.â
Valkidol says â10 years of cc and an ultimate to outscale you to the moon in the teamfight. Either you oneshot him before teamfights or you lose the game.â
Clasher2124 says âA good fiddlesticks is always more useful than you. You can easily die from his team if you get caught in his ultimate. He himself also has pretty good damage. Oh and force of nature has been nerfed to the ground.â
OakIgu says âFiddlesticks is a meta omnipresent champion, he is very easy to invade but he is much better than Udyr in everything BUT 1v1s. To deal with Fiddlesticks you will need to rely on your macro skills, best way to punish him is stealing his camps when possible.â
Zasrana Hyenaa says âFiddle: Its even vs you but people dont know how to play vs it so if they dont help you catching him etc. he gets ahead and in late his r is too powerfull unless your team knows how to predict him so its more like a major then even.....
HOW TO PLAY VS: Ping everywhere you think he might be ulting from so your taam is aware of him and make loads of visionâ
SYROBE says âFiddle fear makes it hard to player Briar early. However once you get Briar Ultimate and land it on a fiddle sticks + a little magic resist like Wit's End- you will still chase him after you are doing being feared.â
Zero macro says âBriar has a decent time into Fiddlesticks, This matchup is based on Briarâs Tenacity + Early Statcheck and Fiddlesticks Teamfighting influence â> Briar W Berserking Movement Speed can be a negative gap closer due to fear.
Briar has a way stronger stat check than Fiddle, thereby Briar can control the map very well and look for easy invades.
Fiddlesticks W channel should be interrupted by Briar Q / E / R.
Fiddlesticks Trinket counts as an enemy champion for Briar Berserking!!!
â
Coccaa says âIf he's fed you probably will not want to fight him as he can out-damage and out-sustain you. If you do end up fighting him just pillar his W it will cancel his W and put it on an extended cooldown and you can win.â
Zero macro says âFiddlesticks and Ekko both have a slow phased early game, thereby Ekko becomes stronger in dueling, but weaker in teamfights. Tenacity rune or/and boots are recommended into Fiddlesticks. Ekko W zone is a strong tool as counter engage or Fiddlesticks W removal.â
EagleXs says âFiddles fear counters your W, so you can mostly never W in. You have no way to stop his drain, and he will drain both you and your pack for lots of healing, which will undo the bleeding you may try to poke him with. Overall, avoid, go around, and try to kill everyone else firstâ
TheBougis says âFiddlesticks isn't very strong in Arena as its hard for him to surprise you, he has a bit of current health damage (on his Q) but not enough to kill you.â
Turnupthetoaster says âHe's one of the best teamfighting champs in the game, and his passive trinkets can effectly nerf your ultimate vision range while also causing you to mark his effigies instead of the champions on the enemy team. Not to mention he can be hard to invade since all he has to do is fear you and walk away. He also comes equipped with a silence, which can also be very obnoxious assuming you don't have 4 stacks of ferocity. Additionally, he does a lot of damage over time and can CC you, both of with make it hard to heal with W, and he farms faster than Rengar. For all of these reasons, he's easily one of Rengar's worst matchups.â
theloaf says âIf you can find out where he's ulting, buffer your Q to hit his destination, then AA and R before he goes into his channel for a quick kill. â
Zero macro says âFiddlesticks has a weak early game that becomes stronger, especially when obtaining his R ---> at this point it will be important to track him down to prevent massacre from happening on ur team. Nidalee should take advantage of the early game in this matchup.â
Zero macro says âFiddlesticks gains free early game into shen, because he can disengage from Shen easily. Thereby he becomes a stronger teamfight threat than Shen.â
Zero macro says âZed has a stronger statcheck and jungle clear than early game fiddlesticks. Zed should try to gain a lead from this. Fiddlesticks becomes a manace due to his R in gank setup. Zed should try to prevent him from being capable so'''
Recommended to run Legend: Tenacity
â
metalhydra273 says âA sleeper strong champion that can disrupt your positioning with a devastating mix of cc and burst. If you do survive the engage or bait him out, run him down asap, as his defense against your cc is limited. Watch your positioning, and play smart macro. Autopiloting here will make you fodder.â
NegativePhoenix says âLiterally everything you do interrupts his W, his main damage dealer. You'll have alot of Tenacity so his fears wont last long regardless if he lands them or not. If you get hit as full AP, it's bye for you, but as a Hybrid or Tank you have a better shot at sitting him down. Any type of CC interrupts his W meaning he has to Zhonyas, run away or hope his team will do the damage he now lacks without itâ
MrFerrot says âHe does a lot of damage, but he is slow and predictable. Also very squishy. Play to E him from range and ult. Then one-shot him and be happy.â
Ezikko says âFiddle is very easy to deal with, just make sure you have vision on him, or that you cancel his ult and W with your Q3 or R, if he ults just try to autoattack him to heal yourself if running isnt an option.â
shacolovesyou says âur nightmare, his early is weak but has insane clear and outscales u, duel with him only if u have ignite, keep in mind that ur box fear can stop his drain, sadly he can drains u even if u Q away, also ward possible spots of his R and keep in mind he can solo dragon in earlyâ
Apari1010 says âThis is a very tough matchup because as Rhaast you thrive in teamfights but if this scarecrow hits one button, the entire teamfight just gets thrown into chaos and you lose. Early on try to delay his level 6 powerspike by stealing from him and take as many early objectives as you can. Vision control is a must in this matchup otherwise teamfights are just unplayable.â
GiAEcchI says âGrevious Wound, Merc Tread or QSS, get some cdr item, use your E to scout around before and while in teamfight to get his location before his ult, lv3-4 you can't fight him, after getting some basic magic resist it's breathable. Don't go ham, try ambushing him in the jungle, hold your knockup for his W.â
BradJr says âFiddlesticks' strength comes from his point and click fear to drive away targets. When you are in your E, try to burst him down as he is very squishy. (clone rating 2/10)â
FaeBytez says âFiddlesticks lacks mobility and can be easily kited by Diana. However, Diana needs to be careful not to get caught by Fiddlestick's Crowstorm ultimate.â
ttvRegedice says âSimilar to Karthus, Fiddlesticks is a ticking time bomb with his mid-late teamfight threat. Make sure to invade WITH team (he can drain tank you with his camps in 1v1, avoid solo-invading unless he's low by trying to clear camps after a fight or you're fed) or countergank him early to shut him down in order to "make his fuse longer" so to speak. What I mean by this, make it as painful as possible for him to become a threat as a champion. Crossmatch your CS to his to try and approximate when he'll hit 6 (you hit lvl6 by 44-48 cs depending on if you have bonus xp from kills and such) because the next time he goes MIA while lvl5 he'll be ulting your laners. He has lots of angles to work with so definitely keep that in mind when pinging safety for your team. The longer he goes MIA before he's used ult the more looming of a threat his R can be. The game is never over vs Fiddlesticks unless you guys win a 5v5, be very careful engaging too far into the team giving fiddle super free ult angles. Always keep what he's trying to do on the forefront of your mind. Lastly, avoid doing/finishing baron/dragon with no vision behind the walls. â
Xr3ad says âFiddlesticks is a really good matchup as it can either snowball in your favor or in his, try abusing his early downfall by invading when possible or just trying to interecept him in ganks as he doesn't do alot of damage early on.â
Virizion says âSame thing as Karthus. Invade early and punish him. Main difference is that after the early game Fiddle will be ganking often with his R and becomes a huge threat mid game in teamfights. Fight as least as possible in the jungle!â
Hazardist says âThis will be a skill matchup where vision control and map awareness will define whether you win it or not. Use Q and W to check bushes you suspect he might be preparing an ambush from both to check and to clear any possible effigies, and look to invade him in the early game if your laners have prio.â
Intropingman says âSilence, fear etc. a lot of cc so he interrupt your Q + a lot of magic damage late game, the good thing is you can catch him with R. Vision is very important against him to see him so he doesn't appear with ultimate fearing and one shotting your whole team.â
tradtrad says âLow tempo jungler who you can disrupt early and run havoc on his team before he becomes useful. You can also kick him out of your teamâ
1Strike says âRough one not gonna lie but I don't think it's unwinnable. If he gets fed he does what ivern does to you. Nullifies you, the difference is he can also one shot you. He has insane teamfighting too and since you are not an early game champ you can't nullify his early game too well. The good thing is though, you can kill him, and he is also letting you scale so with some good decision making and mechanics you can outdamage and out utility him if he doesn't get free ults off.â
Narcissisticdude says âFiddleTricks is ban/dodge champion, he out-clears, out-duels, out-teamfights and out-scales you.
The best results I have had playing against this disgusting monstrosity were 3 camping and then invading him, and then re-invading every time you have ignite up.
Mechanical Tips:
1. Ignite early to reduce healing
2. At level 3 you can drop a w for the fear as he basically stands in place to drain your health, if he smites it run away if you still can.
3. Cringe point and click cc champion with 5k damage ult.
Non-Mechanical tips:
1. You HAVE to keep his vision down and yours up or you WILL get aced from him pressing the R button on his keyboard.
2. He can solo dragon really early on, if you think that's what he's doing use dragon on him for a 2v1
3. FF quickly if he snowballs.â
checca says âZac is now favored against Fiddlesticks after the Season 12 durability update. He doesn't have enough CC burst damage to kill you at any point in the game. Now you can survive through his R and his Zhonya's and just cancel his drain. Always be aware of his Effigies and enemy vision since this is more crucial to win rather than mechanics on Zac. When fighting Fiddlesticks early, focus on having another creep near you where you can auto Q1 Q2 him to cancel his drain.â
lovicoaching says âThis champ was broken for a long time, seems meh right now. Pretty bad matchup for you as he does same thing you do (scale to 6) but he gets passive wards which always show you while also forcing you into tenacity or banshee buy if you want to kill him. Getting mercs or tenacity runes makes him much much more killable though as a little tip. Can be worth it.
Put him behind early or stop his level 6 play and it's free usually.â
Davecraft16 says âAnnoying champion to play against, I hate his fear. Just remember that pre 6 you are stronger, he should start blue, so try to do a a 3/4 camp clear. After that you should find him while he is taking his red, smite the red and try to kill him. â
Heca diffs says â[12.23] It's a free scale matchup. Try to engage on him he cant defend himself from you. You need to watch out for his ult though.â
Kukiziuu_ says âSkill matchup, if you play rhaast your fine. If he uses his E instantly use ur W to knock him up, when he R's you, do your whole combo and then use R. Why? Because you will be probably at 2/4, 3/4 HP. But if you play assasin its easy to oneshot him, but if you get fear your basically dead.â
Bhyure33 says âRemember to pick tenacity in runes. Try to handle vision for your teammates, so it can't get free kills. You can usually beat it in 1v1s and remember to save W for its W.â
Merisoka says âEasy. Just don't get caught in his ultimate or fear. You can one-shot him and bully him in his jungle. Only reason why I don't put him in tiny threat tier is because your team can be a little stupid and ignore him completely, making him fed.â
Lasine says âWeird matchup fiddle favored. You cant invade him early, he clears better and he is more usefull than you. But if somehow u manage to get some kills he wont be able to play the game.
I always flip a level 3 gank vs fiddle or force a invade with mid if he has prio.
The main problem is that most fiddle players are otps, so they will make you have a bad time for sure.â
RedNBlue says âFiddlesticks is a high 2, Fiddlesticks is tanky and does a medium amount of damage, kill him immediately when he uses R on you and your team, he is helping your healing by putting himself so close to you anyways. Steal his farm, take drakes as all he does is farm. If he ganks turn him into mince meat. â
TheSoloNinja says âFiddle W will reveal you and continues to cast if you are still in range when you Q. His W will also show when you are nearby. Try to cheese him by warding the enemy topside jg at the start of the game. Take red buff, krugs, and gromp then invade his red (if he started blue,) or take gromp, red buff, and krugs then invade his blue (if he started red.) This may allow you to cheese a kill on him and break his clearing pattern.â
RaidenKaos says âI personally find Fiddlesticks very easy to deal with myself. Take Conqueror, Ignite and Tenacity; you won't lose an open 1v1. I think it is quite easy to predict where Fiddlesticks is pathing and hiding post-6. Although it is playing with fire you can also try baiting his R, moving back just before. This becomes a lot easier with Ghostblade and preferably vision for the audio cue. Just don't do it close to your team.
The only problem with Fiddlesticks is he is a press R to win champ. If he doesn't use it on Talon, he can just use in on your team. Often you will find your team is not smart enough to not play into his R.â
Riccardo126 says âClear his vision and have yours in the right spots, save your W to stop his R, use E to avoid his W heal and dmg.
His R is dangerous if he fears you, buy Hexdrinker and consider upgrading it early if he's aheadâ
MythicalMinute says âThis champ is not so bad tbh, his W can reveal you so be careful of that but most of the time you want to counter gank him, he has faster clear than you so you cant really play to scale as his team fighting is better also. If you notice the enemy laners hugging a wall when he's 6, rush there and be ready to engage after he does, you can clean him up easily.
AD (Mythic) because prowlers helps you stick to him.â
ItsSplash says âFiddlesticks does what Evelynn does except he is even more vulnerable to invades. Evelynn however is not able to do early invades in large majority of her games. This allows both champions to farm freely. The problem is that Fiddle's insane CC through Q, E and R completely disables Evelynn. His trinkets (Effigies) are, unlike other trinkets, able to spot Evelynn giving his team a lot of midgame safety. All in all Fiddle is one of the harder matchups for Eve.
If there are multiple instant CC champions on the enemy team, I recommend getting Banshees Veil at some point throughout the match.â
spuki97 says âNo worries about this matchup. Try to invade him as he usually likes doing 2 camps at once. After he hits level 6, make sure to spam ping your team his gank angles as he can easily win games with his ultimate. Also, his W can reveal your position. Best build: Regular Assassin/Chinese Stratâ
PiscesPomf says âHe's useless when he doesn't have R. You should keep Zhonya's to launch it when he uses R.
You have more constant damage and he has burst, so just try do tank his burst and it's a win.â
Kao_Oak says âAnnoying champ to face, you need to destroy him in early game and build tenacity because his fear will make you fly away really far because of your R. Easy champ to 1v1 but he will ruin you and your mates in teamfight.â
RengarNBush says âAnnoying but you beat him, he out farms you, try invading when possible, fight away from walls. He can rush zonyhas + don't underestimate his power with W, since you can't cancel it.â
Skysolitox says âThe Only Thing you have to watch out for is where he is and where he could use his R, so be sure to have lots of wards around the Map. Besides that, you can Invade once you have your E, and deny him his farm.â
Blakeyzx says âONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOT ONE SHOTâ
MaximusWillCarry says âYou hard counter Fiddle because whenever he uses his W Drain if you CC him in that time it goes on a long cooldown (10 ish seconds) which he will be evaporated in team fights without his W. Watch out for Crow Storms and peel your backline from his Ult and its easy peasy.â
Yuki H. says âFiddle does not really pose much of a threat by himself, but he packs plenty of cc and teamfighting ability.
Aim to jump on him after he uses his full rotation of abilities (i.e. countergank after he uses his abilities). If the laner he is ganking does not seem to be in lethal range, this counter can quickly turn the tables.â
DixonTheGuideMaker says âInvade Fiddle in the early game to deny him as much gold as you can. He is weak before level 6 but even weaker before level 3 so use that to your advantage. When Fiddlesticks reaches level 6 he will try to surprise gank you with his Crowstorm(R). Keep track of where Fiddlesticks is and inform your team, so they can get wards down and play safe when he is on their side of the map. Before engaging on to Fiddlesticks, ask yourself if this is the real one. Donât waste everything on a fake scarecrow.â
Saltu says âRUSH AND KILL.
The best thing he can do is ult through a wall.
PD: If you get tricked by his trinket you stopid. No really, shame on you if you waste summoner on the trinket.â
Hazardist says âHe can easily shrug you away during E with his fear which makes engaging on him rather difficult, but if you can manage to stay on top of him you win any 1v1. Just make sure to save your E and ultimate for when he's channeling his W, because otherwise you won't have the hard CC required to cancel his main ability.â

OfficerVi says âLook to snowball the game early and make picks in mid/late. He has numerous ways to cancel your Q, is infinitely more useful in teamfights, and outsustains your damage. â
lumihehe says âHEAVILY depends on your teams vision and map awareness. if you have great map control and vision, he's in the tiny catagory but if you let him farm, put 0 deep wards, and basically play hide and seek on the rift then he can be the most dangerous jungler in the entire game. it's up to you and how you and your team play to counter him.â
Salmon Kid says âThis is also an easy match up for Lillia as fiddle really has nothing to offer in a prolonged fight verse her. However, he does have point and click hard cc and his ult that he can layer the cc with so just be careful while kiting him out.â
warmfishu says âReap (E) will silence Yuumi. Terrify (Q) will cause champions to flee, and abilities he uses after sitting unseen in a bushes for a couple seconds also causes them to flee; this resets Yuumi's W.â
Dad Prime says âYou can easily 1v1 him as you can knock him up when he is sucking everything, but a good fiddle will avoid you all game and will easily disengage whenever possible.â
Dojyaan says âWill fuck you up with his w suck. He outfarms you and also is more scarier in teamfights. The most you could do for your team is kill the back line so fiddle gets no follow up and .... WARD WARD WARD.â
ItsAydam says âHard to kill because of his fear and silence and slow. After 6 his impact on the game is much bigger than yours. His ult can also carry the game if he's good. Try to catch him off guard and ward his jungle. Fiddle players full clear into a gank so you can predict his clear. Also he does Gromp + Blue together / Red + Raptors which makes it easy for you to come and smite one of them.â
Farmer Cleetus says âCan out damage you by his W Ability (Bountiful Harvest) when being close at you + a camp or a Dragon. He'll literally deal no damage to you when you play Rhaast, where he drops down to Minor or even Tiny. In Shadow Assassin, you've to be fed if you want to make a Fiddler down to Minor or Tiny Threat.â
Fadeyboii says âHis W reveals you, he has so much CC, you can't invade him cuz he outheals your damage with his W on camps, just be careful playing against himâ
Shark of Void says âTake the cleanse. Skill match. The winner is the one who gets the advantage. 1v1 the main thing is to get Q out of his W, then you'll win him.â
Nightmare.dll says âHis damage in late is too much to handle if he starts popping off. Try to kill him pre-6 and keep abusing him if he is behind by camping him in his jungleâ
RelaxOrTax says âHe clears very fast and is difficult to 1v1 if you don't have an hp advantage or conqueror. You should try and shut him down before he gets level 6 and reaches the late game since he will be better in teamfights.â
NegativePhoenix says âHe can fear you but that's it. You can W him up to stop his W heal early and put it on full CD so he has to back up. If he ults in, keep your distance, he will try to CC you to full damage you and heal off you. Once his ult wears off and his fears down, he's an easy target. All stages of the game as long as he doesn't have help and you aren't already low you basically outheal him and beat him in every 1v1.â
Krast666 says âFiddlesticks is horrible to fight against. He contests your late game, has better teamfighting potential and can 1-shot better than you. Your best bet is to kill him in the scuttle fight with your midlaner and get as many heralds as possible.â
SunLongGod says âyou should your ult after Fiddle use his fear to avoid losing your ulti duration, his Q's passive can get you feared from all of his abilities. get Qss or Tenacity to win against him. â
NegativePhoenix says âPredict where he's going when you can and be mindful of his fear and W. If you can get him off guard you'll pretty much win.â
Sammystinky says âFiddle is arguably your most similar champion. You both sit out of vision and try to jump people. If you jump him, you usually win. If he jumps you or your team, he usually wins. Be aware of him and don't let him get good ults. â
duowithdeath says âInferior Karthus in almost every way except his utility he brings to team fight, you out duel, out gank, out clear and can go perma invade.â
BullwhipGriffin says âFiddlesticks is a champ that wants to farm to get strong, which is perfect for diana because diana is strong enough to invade him at any point. She also clears much faster so will be able to free farm all gameâ
anniesniffer69 says âit's a bullshit huge ap lifesteal magic spank. with his fears & other CC he can bully you af. With his team you can do nothing.â
Stolid says âIf you dont kill him very early (lv 3) you can never kill him by your own again. When he is 6 he will outgank you anyways. Very hard to deal with unless you kill him in his own jungle every minute.â
IamFafa says âMake sure to ward against him because if he catches you in his R you're pretty much dead because of his insane damage. Ward prio to ganking because you dont want to be surprised by his R which can easily wipe out your teamâ
evil in says âFiddlesticks is an easy matchup he is also a fullclear jungle but much worse than Evelynn just try be careful with his position and keep in mind he can always R from the bushes.â
Invisiclown says âYou need to beat him early, you are no match for his cc and its hard to burst him, his 2nd skill will always reveal you while your invisibleâ
GrayJinxed says âFiddle isn't that much of a threat aside from his point and click fear (E) followed by his Q (Fear) or any other source of Crowd Control.
Warding will significantly reduce Fiddlesticks impact of his ult (R) by reducing the Area of Effect Fear. â
TimothyFly says âCan't really do much against him, his fear and silence are very annoying. Just try and contain him so he doesn't get ahead. Chain cc him with team and don't let him get ultimates on ur team.â
DarkMareOfficial says âThis one is more of a tiny-minor because he is a bit annoying against any Wukong main. His fear and silence make him able to run away most times pretty well. But there is hope: if you engage on him with your Decoy (W) he will silence the clone and maybe even fear it if he is dumb enough => you got free hand to kill him.
Big advantage towards countering his ult with your invisibility engage into R his R.â
WONDR says âIf you fight him in the jungle he has to run. If he jumps on you with R first you will still most likely kill him if theres a bush near by and hes not ahead.â
SeptikYT says âNot played much in my elo but he clears extremely fast, meaning he could pull ganks off faster, something you don't want him to get away with. If he builds Liandry's into Shadowflame, have fun, that is gonna hurt a lot.â
Madabc says âVery frustrating. Early Zhyonas rush abuser and fear is very annoying to vs. While you destroy him pre 6, post 6 is really when the matchup really hurts you. This is all dependent on how good the Fiddle is as well. â
Biotic says âYou will rarely face it, but Fiddle is one of THE Countermatchups for Zilean. His long Range Silence and CC chain will not allow you to ult. Try to roam and win your other lanes. Mobility boots first item and leave your adc feeding to it.â
Janooobi says âAlways make sure you have a source of CC to use for when he is using his W, make sure when laning phase is done you keep track of him as much as possible and warn your teammates of sudden Rs he can pull offâ
officialwiseguy says âOnes you are 6 don't Ult till he has used his fear otherwise you will run very far away and your Ult might run out. Ones you have Qss he is a Childsplay.
â
BreadedBreadCrum says âSimilar to Amumu, Fiddlesticks can be a major threat in team fights. Fighting early and invading is a great way to disrupt his clear and early weakness. Make use of Daisy's ability to grant vision to break his fear passive. After 6, be careful to take tower dive situations or similar fights. Go Domination Aery. For AP, go CotSQ. Sup, go Shurelya's. Chemtech is good here.â
Consolo says âWas my previous permaban, but he scales inversely to your support's warding habits. Invade like he's Karthus, you can't kill him like Karthus but early you can force him off his camps and take them in front of him LMAO. Buy about a billion control wards and put them over walls near objectives. Learn where they like to ult from and ward there too. Do you have a support? Tell them to ward more. Don't have a support? FORCE them to ward more. â
FacetLOL says âReally annoying matchup, you need to counterjungle/countergank him pre level 6, to stop him from snowballing, he can do drake before 1st back. So ward it.â
Scythe Prince says âto win this matchup :
try to counter jungle and take his camps as much as possible so you can have xp lead.
you can easy 1v1 him with edge of night and form.
â
Zehmox says âTicking time bomb. you can really prevent him from ulting your teammates because he build Zhonyas and banshees (if good) but what you can do is snowball your way on lanes like i mentioned before WEAKER early game junglers = put them behind or create a big lead for yourself to overtake themâ
blulemon says âHe struggles against you early as you can cancel his healing. Late he might be a problem but make sure to keep vision for your team, especially in raptors pit.â
Christianxox1 says âHis ult will make it hard to fight him try to fight him when his ult is in cool down. He has a faster clear then you and is hard too 1v1 early on.â
MrMeem45 says âHe outscales you by far, but has real counterplay that you can abuse. For one, you decimate him at scuttle. He'll usually get low during his clear, so if you do your 5 camp (or a 3 camp if you're feeling risque) then pop down to his last camp and he's doing Gromp + Blue at the same time, just gang up on him and oneshot him, taking both his camps and making him want to uninstall.â
b0n0 says âFiddle is kind of same thing as Eve. You just out perform him early and want to set a pace/invade+early gank. If you get ahead you win. Q his lifesteal and he is fucked. always take a duel if it's 1v1 and he is not giga fed. â
Elekktro says âFiddlesticks is one of the only non tank junglers that requires you to stack tenacity. I recommend going Wit's End + Merc Treads and the matchup gets way easier. Save your stun for when Fiddle starts sucking. Fiddle's recent buffs make him more of a threat especially in lower elos.â
J98TheGreat says âThis is not going to be horrible, but you have to keep an eye on his ultimate. You cannot afford to avoid considering what it might do to a fight or it could turn in his favor.â
Ghionova says âHe can see when youre around because his W shows up as ready if youre in range, even if he cant see you. He will probably have assistance from his laners. Ward his jungle to see his routes and warn your allies. ONLY start a fight when you know nobody else is around.â
NMFO says âThe new first-strike fiddle is actually kinda nutso. Hopefully when they rework it fiddle will be less strong. Same problem with all AP jg, you don't reduce any of their damage like you do AD jg. Massive AOE ult and the cc is stupid long. Early on save your E so you can interrupt his W channel, it will put it on the full cooldown. You can also cancel his R with your E, but good fiddles will rarely let that happen. â
OnslaughtOfPwnys says âHe can contest objectives better than you do. You need some vision before you can start a drake or a baron fight.
Cancel his Lifesteal with your E.â
Da Mastah says âInvade Invade Invade, take this poor scarecrow's lunch money and bully him out of the jungle at any opportunity you get. You beat him at all point in the game in a 1v1. Its even easier if you take ignite. He shouldn't make it to late game in one piece if you are jungle tracking him and invading.â
The Elysian1 says âFiddle is kinda the same as Lee , he dominates in the early jungle , since he has faster clear speed and more efficiency in scuttler fights. His W deals you damage if you are in stealth , but that is obv when you are in his range. I suggest to scale in early and don't make fights with him , till you get eclipse. Eclipse will allow you to one shot him in a wall / river / bush with your R + Q + W +Q combo without him healing fast as F.
â
KafueLechwe says âFiddlesticks is a super easy matchup for Sion, you beat him at all stages of the game, and can even invade him. In addition, your to tanky to be killed by his R.â
Zyvran says âHe's like Evelynn, but not as bad. If you know where he is, he isn't a threat. You also beat him early, which isn't a common trait among champions.â
Citric says âFiddlesticks farms really quickly but does not duel you well. Try to be mindful of where he can ultimate from out of vision. That is the only thing you need to worry about.â
Pusi Puu says âYou win all ins every time and can just run him down in almost every stage of the game. Try to track his pathing with a raptor ward and invade him. Later on make sure to predict where he wants to ult and use your ult to scout him out. Run around with full ferocity to cancel his fear when he engages with ult onto you.â
Doubtfull says âFiddle can lock you down with his kit and it is difficult to 1v1 him until you get your Ult, as you have no way to cancel his W. Use your speed to run outside of his drain range, and try to punish his relatively weak early game. Buy a blue orb so you can reveal him when you're forced to fight.â
LambWolf says âFiddlesticks has a lot of cc. If you get feared by his ult, your propably dead. You should get qss to get rid of the fear so you can cast your ultimateâ
KebabGames says âHe clears very fast and is difficult to 1v1 if you don't have an hp advantage or conqueror. You should try and shut him down before he gets level 6 and reaches the late game since he will be better in teamfights.â
SnowballBarrage says âFiddle effigies can cancel your snowball which ruins tempo especially early.
Also can Interrupt your R. Broken clear speed if they're good, but squishy.â
NixLychee says âHe hard outscales you, so you should focus on 1v1 fights, although he can sustain through some of your damage, you should have the upper hand in skirmishes, and you will probably get more early objectives. Since lots of your wards are most useful for mobility, try to make sure your team knows to ward spots where he could potentially ult over. After his champion healing was buffed, he is more annoying to fight, but he still doesn't deal as much damage as you in the early game.â
KamiKZ says âFiddle is very annoying he doesnÂŽt get low on hp when clearing his jungle because of his w - healing and you are not able to kill him because of his q - fear, I recommend ignoring fiddle and focus on your laners instead unless fiddle uses Q on the jungle camps (I recommend evoling R in this match up)â
Polarshift says âOvertuned and annoying but not impossible to kill. He can't cast his targeted abilities when you throw your smokescreen on him so be patient with it and don't use it to engage. If you ever get caught in his ultimate while he has stopwatch you're most likely dead.â
Veralion says âThe rework made Fiddle significantly weaker 1v1 before 6. He is probably the single weakest pre-6 duelist in the game. Even Shyvana can absolutely destroy him. Apply early pressure and don't be afraid to take camps away. If he tries to drain tank you like the good old days, just kill him. You substantially outdamage his heal so long as he isn't also eating a camp or a wave and you aren't already low on health (it does missing health damage now). Run Ignite for sure. Aside from that, his clear speed is pretty nuts, so make sure you don't fall behind in levels. While you have absolutely nothing to fear from him early and may play freely, once he hits 6 you will need to keep him in the back of your mind anytime you go for a play. Crowstorm makes Fiddle the strongest counterganking champion in the game, and overchasing a fleeing target or committing to a skirmish with incomplete vision control may get you and several teammates killed. Never towerdive unless you have the surrounding area lit up like Christmas and make sure your bot lane keeps their lane bushes warded in case he tries to set up a trap. After lanes end and big fights start happening, make damn sure you don't clump together and keep your flanks warded. Force plays while his ult is down, as it has a long cooldown and the game is 4v5 without it.
Ignite and Exhaust are both good here, one to fight him early and the other to shut down his teamfighting. Your call. â
nZk01 says âyou can dodge his Q with R (need to predict)
place box on him when he W's, you can preemptively prep boxes for his ult so when he goes over walls he cant just run down his targets.
you can also 1 shot him in his ult CAST!
overall impossible to kill most of the time and he will just hard outscaleâ
Kocykek says âBig damage output, especially on teamfights. Try to stop him channeling, throw him out or stun him after engage to don't let him do full damage combo.â
Arfreezy says âLast Updated: Patch 11.14
Jungler Type: Farming Jungler
Fiddle is a scaling/farming jungler similar to Karthus or Evelynn. The main thing that makes Fiddle a hard matchup is that he has a strong leashless jungle clear and an early game that isn't weak enough to offset his scaling. His current state is a bit overtuned which puts him at the top of the jungle tier list. This is ban worthy if there are a lot of fiddle's at your ELO.â
Tormentula says âRappel doesn't cancel his W drain since its a tether, but cocoon does stop the channel, when he starts his W use cocoon to break free of it, denying him damage and healing. Pick up a Banshee's Veil so you aren't randomly feared by his ultimate from Fog of War. Its very important to play around vision and to ward over walls where Fiddlesticks can ult from such as around raptors when pushing up in mid lane. He can scale really hard and his ultimate is game winning at times so close out games fast while respecting walls he can ult over. I highly recommend taking Zombie Ward in this matchup as his effigies actually count and spawn Zombie Wards. They're 1 hit, visible, and he spawns them more than regular wards so its perfect for Zombie Ward to quickly stack. â
Doubtfull says âVERY difficult match up. Fiddle can sustain your burst, and has many forms off CC to make it difficult to do much of anything before you die. His W drain also damages you even when ulting. Avoid this match up.â
IMissedMyQ says âYou crush him. Just go into his jungle and spank him. Keep deep vision so that you can track and prevent his ults over walls and you can stomp fid with ease.â
Asternova says âRUNES: Dark Harvest.
ITEMS: Banshee's Veil if you're against a lot of AP. Mercury's Treads if his team is full of AP or CC. Morellonomicon against his healing.
GAMEPLAY SUMMARY: Fiddlesticks isn't the best jungler pre-6, so you can try to exploit some of his weaknesses early game by invading him and contesting Scuttle if you think it's a safe option. Respect his ultimate when he gets to level 6, place control wards in walls where he can blink from so that neither you or your team will fall for it. His point and click CC is a huge threat to you, get Mercury's Treads or keep your distance against him to not get hit by it.â
MiningRicK says âFight him early, he canÂŽt do so much. Try to come lvl 6 earlier ( I know not that easy) so you can stomp him more and more because when he is lvl 6 his ults are always good in teamfights.-â
Justkb says âStill not bad for Darius, make sure you don't underestimate his drain if you don't have your E up, and take early trades with him if you can. If you fall behind early executioners will help!â
carlru says âTake advantage of his early-game weakness and invade.
If you know which buff he started, you can invade the minor camps surrounding that buff after you finish scuttle, this will make him stumble.â
Insightful says âfiddlesticks has a good clear and very strong ganks and teamfighting around objectives, as a jungler he doesn't really represent a threat, but it's hard to win teamfights vs him â
freddy66623 says âFiddles wil win 1v1s throughout the entire game! BUT is countered by you taking his blue. Make sure to keep vision on him at all times.â
poopyOCE says âPretty easy matchup. As a Fiddlesticks main, I hate going against aggressive Warwicks. Try to ward out common gank spots for your laners like chicken coup (near mid), V bend of blue, Bot river bust, etc. Bully him early game to throw off his start. His R is scarey as its pure damage output and tp is potent (that's y warding is important). You outduel him, you outheal his W, and you can use E recast to cancel his W. Be wary of his CC and silence. Otherwise, be a bully and countergank him as he has probably burned a lot of his stuff. He likes to start top at the beginning for a safe farm.â
Simple Shawn says â[TL;DR - CONTEST EVERYTHING, HE CANNOT CONTROL YOU. 1v1 WHENEVER BUT MIND HIS FEARS. DO NOT STACK IN TEAMFIGHTS.]
[I am very serious when I'm putting Fiddlesticks into the "Tiny" threat, early he's useless, you're letting him scale but he's also letting you scale AND EVEN gank freely to set advantages in lane. When it comes into duel, I just recommend you not to use Q when approaching him, approach him then let him fear you, then Q to catch him/cancel her W (which is what he might've done), then just E+W to get damage onto him then he wants to W or even R you and at this point you may still AA him to keep your W on the most possible until you get your cooldowns back on, if you had Q possible before the cast ends (his W or his R), just Q onto him. The thing with Fiddlesticks is that either you take a big sh*t of damage by like unguarded R(and fear) + W combo, either you just cannot take damage because he cannot just cast abilities. Be only aware of his capability to end your backline in a teamfight if he manages to ult into them when they're stacked.]
[VERY CONTROLLABLE MAGE CHAMPION]â
SaltCat says âHe wants to scale like you to level 6 so you get a free early game, you win 1v1 early game, later in the game HE is gonna be your focus, look for him in places that you think he would r in a teamfight and kill him before he does thatâ
sonminh says âAlways go AP into Fiddlesticks. AD is almost impossible to kill him and his ult will almost always kill your clone. Probably good to go blue trinket into him to watch for his ults.â
NamaeWaMitsurii says âA very hard scaler with point and click CC as well as a Silence. Try and get priority over objectives and take his team buffs away.â
amogus logus says âHe is a big problem , because Trundle needs to be in melee range to deal damage at all times .
Trundle beats him in any 1 v1 situation though , he will be a threat in teamfights , when he pulls a suprise ult fear and zhonyas on top of it .â
SaffronBxabe says âGIRL JUMPSCARE?? Grab a LifeAlert before jungling against this man and smite that saweetiecrab đŠ so he can't see nothing babes!â
Karasmai says âThis champ falls under hard category because his OP early farming gives him a lead + his W sustain makes him impossible to solo without form. Once you get form he will always have A strong advantage in fights and without due to his ult. The way you play around this for Red is rush MR like most typical AP matchups and Blue you rush Edge of Night. The playstyle will rely on heavily warding + forcing when his ulti is down. Make sure youâre farming a lot because Fiddle will tend to farm a lot early and only look to fight mid-late so you can build a HUGE cs lead. Also he will tend to solo drakes you can give him the first 1 or 2 if his bot-mid have prio but if not you may contest.
â
MexBookMaster says âFeedle limpia muy rĂĄpido la jungla y tiene una R que destroza Teamfights. Recomiendo ir Shadow Assassin (Azul), buena visiĂłn y siempre saber si tiene Cronometro o Zhonyas debido a que esa es una de las cosas mĂĄs molestosas de Feedle.â
ak521 says âYou outclear him, but he (or it) outsustains you. Meaning he'll have some 70-90% HP at the end of his clear, you'll have some 30-40%. He's best in team fights, especially when he has a lead, as his ultimate is just terrifying. Keep vision up, and be EXTRA careful while doing drag or baron. Your Q interrupts his W so be sure to use that.â
Rhoku says âFiddle isn't really too much of a threat himself. He is one of the few junglers who is just a free kill waiting to be collected upon invades. If you do catch him off guard hes as good as dead. But his ultimate makes him very tough to deal with in teamfights and ganks if he pulls if off properly. Not to mention how his no counterplay fear and silence make if difficult for you to operate.â
Kayncer says âHard to fight whilst being behind, has a fast clear, good in teamfights, kill him pre 6 with conq as best!
Can completely counter Blue Kayn kit, Red is better against him.â
Insightful says âfiddlesticks works in the same way as amumu but his ganks are a lot stronger, his clear is faster, and he can have more impact than you in fights, the only thing going on for you here is that you can win 1v1 with enough itemsâ
Dabgren says âThink this matchup is very annoying and somewhat unplayable in the early game, Fiddlesticks just drains all your burst back and easily kills you I feel.â
izzlelol says âYou can ult out of or e his ult. He can farm way quicker than you. Try to get anti-heal and at level 6 you can 1v1 him. In teamfights its going to be a nightmare just put wards on places you think he might ult from so you and your team don't get feared for 200 years and you should be fine to burst him down as soon as his ult ends.â
Lambda Diana says âHis ult is better then yours best thing you can do it keep him from hitting 6 for as long as you can and getting laners ahead pink wards are your friends he will ult out of vison and win fights if he is even or ahead try to end early with rifts before he out scales. â
OsakaSatang says âElectro+sorcery
He is pretty squishy, so you can fight him early on. Becareful because his fear+succ can be pretty annoying. Just make sure you have vision of him or know where he is approx before ganking someone after he gets 6.â
ItsSkoob says âFiddle scales really well but he relies on farming a lot and scaling. If you invade/cheese him and out-gank and pressure him then he should fall behind. Just play smart and dont group tightly once he has 6. He will just ult over wall fearing you all and zhonyas so you cant do anything while his team kills you.â
RedNBlue says âThis is an absolute stupid champion in Trundles eyes, his cc is ridiculous and will just wreck you. You can't get close to him as you will be taking damage every time no matter what you try.â
SketchtheHunter says âA good Fiddlesticks truly is something to fear, but thankfully you can play around him pretty well. Save your E for when he tries to pop his W, as the pull will interrupt the channel. Definitely a matchup where good tracking and game knowledge can really make the difference.â
Suseri says âOnce you're level 6, donât ult until heâs used his fear, or he'll send you far away, as you cannot get slowed while you're in your R, which meanwhile also could expire. Once you have QSS, he should be much easier to deal with.â
FrostForest says âHe stands still to deal damage resulting in an easy combo.
Your ultimate locks him up and makes it easy for you to kill him
He farms very quick and is very annoying to deal with later in game, look to play a fast paced early gameâ
Irmike78 says âCan hard cc Gwen and silence her long enough for their team to kill her (Gwen cannot recast R when silenced). In a 1v1 scenario Gwen will win most matchups with W up. â
manco1 says âFiddlesticks is one of the lower tier junglers in general recently, you can easily burst him out at all times of the game. As long as you play around his ult, the win is yours!â
RichMrFork says âDon't underestimate Fiddlesticks's skirmishing early. His W healing and damage can surprise you. I would heavily recommend getting Mercury Treads against Fiddle especially if they have any other CC/AP threats on their team (Anivia,Leona,Annie). Be sure to lay as much vision down as possible to not get surprise ulted on in fights. The fear lasts long enough for you to get 1 shot by fiddle once he has items so you need to be aware of where he is. Fiddle hits an extremely strong powerspike at 6 and his ultimate has a relatively long cooldown without ultimate hunter stacks so look to punish him while its down.â
Kayn Mains says âYou lose all fights from early to mid game. Fiddlesticks's Bountiful Harvest (W) will always win him trades. Avoid him at all costs unless you are ahead or have teammates by your side.
It is recommended to go Shadow Assassin into Fiddlesticks. Build Edge of Night once you reach the late game and catch him out in his jungle. Your spell shield should block his fear and a full combo is enough to kill him. You will be able to force out his Zhonya's Hourglass at the very least.â
LilPaniniUwU says âHe hard outscales you, so you should focus on 1v1 fights, although he can sustain through some of your damage, you should have the upper hand in skirmishes, and you will probably get more early objectives. Don't let him fully channel his W on your, it's like half of his damage in 1v1s.
â
metalhydra273 says âFiddle's rework has changed the tide of this matchup thanks to all of the additional cc which he can use to make you irrelevant in fights. Get around it though and he's a sitting duck. I recommend considering a qss to protect your team from his ults or punish him while he tries to get away with his fear. Make sure you know where he is if you plan to engage with your ult, since you're engage is very linear and he can easily bait and counter it.â
Spection says âPretty annoying champion but not particularly dangerous in his own right. His power comes from teamfighting. In a duel with him, stay far away from Daisy because he can bounce his E off of her and you resulting in a lot of damage. Save your Q for his ultimate and don't get too close when he has W up. Invade his red, he will almost always start blue because Drain has such a high base cost.â

Aqua Dragon says âJunglers who have to farm until 6 are easy opponents for Malzahar. They tend not to focus objectives at all, and provide Malzahar an easy time to stay even. Fiddlesticks in particular can have their entire ult cancelled by a single Call of the Void; ouch!â
KhaZix Mains says â[4/10] The first thing to take note of is that he can remove isolation with his trinket so don't get baited in without having that in mind. His clear speed is also something to watch out for so be sure to warn laners if he's able to arrive before you. His CC in the forms of a fear and silence shouldn't be underestimated especially with them maxing Q now.
There are opportunities where you'll have a level advantage on him but be unable to burst him in time due to his high armor per level and zhonyas itemization alongside his vast CC.
R evolve can help in this matchup to dodge his fear but your primary focus should be on picking him off before he gets to use his ult and not letting your team get snowballed in 5v5's from his ultimate. You can minimize this risk with proper warding and pings. â
auileta says âEvelynn generally counters him, but he will have an early lead against you. He can be tanky too, but you should be fine as long as you stick to farming and ganking when you should. Otherwise, there is a skill matchup here.â
Nanelol says âHe can't stand against you. If you ultimate him he will for sure be dead if he doesn't have flash up. The only scary thing vs. Fiddlesticks is that he has a surprise effect but with your ultimate that goes down aswell since he can't see where he has to ult and if he's in vision. â
Gamyeon says âMage junglers are completely destroyed by Kindred early, cheese invade level 3 on opposite buff and you'll do well. Flash to Kill. Mind that he can prolong the fight a lot and maybe give the enemy mid laner enough time to respond, be aware.â
Ejsner says âSimilar to Karthus, Fiddlesticks poses a significant mid-late game teamfight threat. When invading, make sure to bring your team along (as he can sustain through 1v1s with his draining abilities). Avoid solo-invading unless he's low on health or after a skirmish. Counter ganking early can also help delay his power spike. Keep your CS comparable to his to estimate when he'll hit level 6 (typically around 44-48 CS). When he goes missing at level 5, anticipate his ultimate ganks on your laners. Fiddlesticks has many angles to approach from, so be vigilant in pinging safety for your team. The longer he's missing before using his ultimate, the more dangerous his presence becomes. Be cautious of engaging too deeply into the enemy team, as it can provide Fiddlesticks with ideal ult angles. Always be mindful of his intentions. Lastly, avoid attempting or completing Baron or Dragon without vision behind the walls.â
Nanelol says âThis is easy match up for evelynn but you should be becareful nonetheless since he can still get you killed with his Ultimate that comes out of nowhere and fears you.â
Ejsner says âElectrocute suggested. Fears, forcing emp W from you, if you wait it out, he just sustains your damage with W. Silences your entire kit with E. â
Eagzey says âThis champion should never be a threat to us. The key is beating his R with yours, because our clone will blow up quickly and he is sitting there feared wasting his R.â
uSgSello says âWinning matchup.
Fiddlesticks will not try to counter jungle. His counter ganks are not very strong so you won't be in huge trouble if he is counterganking you.
You should try to kill him in the early game in his jungle because you can stop his drain with the cocoon and you can burst him fast.â
Smartest2 says âFiddlesticks is a fairly easy matchup. He doesn't really counter-jungle much. You can even invade him at his red/blue if you're feeling confident. Just wait for him to use his w or e on a camp before engaging and try and use your q to disrupt his drain.â
Maverka88 says âThis is easy match up for evelynn but care. Fiddlesticks is hard punisher and can beat you really hard if you get caught by his fear through passive.â
BlackFalcon2005 says âthere is now way for you to get to him without losing half your heath before you get to him. After that he can just cc you and heal again.â
theceasrsalad says âpretty weak early but scales into a monster teamfighter, his w will heal him for absurd amounts so hold your w and use it on him when hes doing the sucky sucky, if his w is interupted it goes on a longer cooldown than if he finishes it, dont teamfight and buy a lot of control wards, vision control is key.â
Doubtfull says âProbably your worst match up. He has TONS of AoE damage making your single target shield much less valuable, and he can get on top of your fairly easy with his ult. Consider banning this.â
PK Noob says âHeâs walking gold during early game in his jungle. Track him down, get a free kill, and snowball off of it. You should easily win the game if it doesnât go for too long and if you donât throw.â
Riyad101 says âHe is not too hard to invade and is easy to kill early in the game but late game Fiddle's ult will change the team fight so make sure to know where he is and ward everywhere.â
Narutoe says âEasy opponent to invade and kill early game, but be careful late game as his fear and ult can instantly kill you, so ult instantly. â
EUWRATS says âMake sure to ward against him because if he catches you in his R you're pretty much dead because of his insane damage. Ward prio to ganking because you dont want to be surprised by his R which can easily wipe out your teamâ
nZk01 says âfiddle is just budget karthus tbh, but he can still win really hard in teamfights with 1 shots etc, try to invade him and just outfarm himâ
nuck fugget says âSame as Karthus. Scales really well and people dont know how to play against him late game. Invade early and try to put him behind.â
SoSheolH says âSquishy, slow and his main damage comes from an ability you can easily interrupt. If he ults on your team you can E+W him while your teammates run.â
Kindredgarten says âVery easy to invades, you need to do that to abuse his weak early game. Be careful late game as his ult is very strong and has a fear, ult timing will be important for you. QSS recommended.â
Caled says âFiddlesticks is another matchup that is very hard for Kayn. Avoid any fights early on and throughout the mid game as Fiddle will be able to out-sustain you. Only fight Fiddle early if you are ahead and if you have support from teammates. One of Kaynâs strongest traits is his ability to dismiss taking damage by using his R (Umbal Trespass). Fiddlesticks W (Drain Ability) will stay on Kayn if Fiddle starts it before Kayn uses R (Umbral Trespass) allowing him to heal and do damage off of you at ALL times. Typically, Blue Kayn is better into Fiddlesticks as you will be able to one-shot him later in the game or at worst force him into using Zhonya's Hourglass. A good item to buy into Fiddlesticks when playing Shadow Assassin is Edge of Night as it allows you to deny his CC and have a better chance of fighting him in a 1v1.â
Loul_60 says âJust please permaban this stupid f***in champ, painful to deal with early game as you have no hard CC to cancel his channels. His combo makes teamfighting very difficult for you (mainly as Shadow Assassin) and you must respect his potential throughout the entire game, and he will outscale you with half your items and has little to no counterplay without good coordination from your team.â
litecrunch says âFiddlesticks basically wants to do the same things shyvana wants to do. He wants to focus on farming early and then ganking and carrying teamfights after lvl 6. Out of the two of you early on, you beat him in terms of strength and even in the late game. Watch out for his ultimate, always be cautious and ward the fog of war.â
liserith says âIf you can see him, his main weapon (his ult) is pretty much useless. Burst him down, and he has difficulty doing anything back. Make sure to ward as much as possible, however, as his ganking can snowball his lanes very quickly. â
Gumipapucs says âYou can invade him and kill him early easily and deny him everything. Lategame he can CC you for 200 years and/or oneshot you so be careful.â
ShadowCross says âHe's gonna outfarm you and your bushes help him will vision. But you can get better ganks off and your daisy cc can break his W and his R. â
KeyTheMonolith says âFIddlseticks is a really annoying matchup as you need to go blue kayn to assassinate him yet if you go blue fiddle will one shot you with his amount of cc and burst damage.â
chevy the sloot says âThis guy was pretty unbeatable last season but even with how strong he is season 11 match up seems now pretty easy. Take redsmite for his burst and sit on a oblivion orb early and you can easily burst him down. Full clear first clear since he will most likely do the same.â
Al Groz says âScales better than you and can kill you both early and late. Stronger in team fights and has a much faster clear. You should play around your boxes or look for easy kills on river etc. Tough matchup.â
c0st0m says âNot much to be said he has a point and click fear + silence so your chances of kiting him are slim to none def need zhonyas/bansheesh against himâ
Shroomen Rider says âFiddlesticks can be a thorn in the side. Point and click fear is within your attack range. His ulty murders your team and your blind does nothing to stop it. â
ShatteredMinds says âBecause of Fiddlesticks main strength coming from his ultimate, killing him early is easy. Not only this, but due to him being extremely squishy, he is a good way to gain gold. Wait for him to use his W before stunning him, as he will regain his health if you let him.â
Tinjus says âHe doesn't stand a chance unless he gets the jump on you with his ultimate. You might find that you won't be able to kill him when he has his Fear up.â
Udyr uber says âApĂłs o rework ele se tornou um pouco mais problemĂĄtico, Use o Stun quando ele tentar roubar sua vida e ai desce o tigre nele.
Tenha cuidado com o clear extremamente rĂĄpido dele, tente dar counter gank nele.
Guerreiro+MercĂșrio+Elmo Adaptativoâ
DarnuS says âYou counter him very well. You can easily knock him up with your E and cancel his W. In teamfight's you can also cancel his R with your R. Even if he uses his ult you can ult him away from your teammates, and win the fight.â
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says âFiddlesticks isn't one to be concerned about, solely because he is squishy and can be CC'd when he does his Ult which is his primary source of damage.â
AyeJa3 says âHe is probably the single weakest pre-6 duelist in the game. Even Shyvana can absolutely destroy him. Apply early pressure and don't be afraid to take camps away.â
kyrdousek says âYou can out pressure him in early reset cancel his w and ult and lock him in your ult but he has better dmg and better team fights its skill matchupâ
Tylen says âHis Q (Fear), his wards, and his E (Reap) can cancel your Powerball. Wait for him to waste his cooldowns then roll in. You can also invade him since his pre-level 6 sucks and your post-level 3 is good.
Absolute nightmare is facing against a good fiddle. Stack MR. â
Piss_Gaming says âKILL HIM EARLY OR LOSE. However, a good Fiddlesticks will usually finish his full clear before you can do anything, and will be more healthy if/when you both meet, by doing two camps at once, with drain.
This drain also counters Shaco in revealing him in stealth for both him (being able to use the ability when Shaco is nearby) and his team (via the true sight granted while Drain is active), even if his camps are warded for you to Q in to find him in his own jungle.
So this champion is an extreme threat when you do come across one as he's allowed to survive easily, while your goal is to kill him. Your only saving grace for this matchup is that it does not occur often, as (at the time of writing this guide) his play rate is low. â
PsiGuard says âYou don't have a fast way to interrupt his channels which makes this matchup difficult. You can win if you get more picks than he can get engages with his R. You can 2v2 if you have an ally that can CC him.â
EversideHS says âHis silence is a big problem for you, you have to dance in your W very well to fight him properly and the silence and fear can get you one shot.â
Bel37 says âFiddle is your hardest counter. His kit his fear, silence, and high damage ult dominates your kit. He also scales extremely well. You really have to play around vision when vs fiddlesticks. â
lolX9J says âWill know anytime who the real shaco is.
Your Q is practically useless in the 1v1 after first approach. His W reveals you and still does damage in invis
Shaco R wont break his W aswell.â
ChaseMorePlz says âEasy matchup once he burns his fear on you, when you land a Bandage Toss onto him he pretty much dies immediately with the rest of your combo.â
ChaseMorePlz says âStatistically speaking, Fiddlesticks is a tough matchup for Vi. She only has a 46% win rate versus him in Platinum+ games. He may force you to build Mercury Treads. He can also stop your Q animation and silence you which is a pain to deal with, however, he is very squishy and easy to kill especially when ahead. â
waayWest says âYou can easilly kill him if he throws away his attacks, his dps is really bad early, I try to invade his jg early for free kills most of the time.â
Wolf Rengar says âRecommended: Electrocute Rune Page/Build.
Tips: Invade in early if possible.
Try ulting before team fights to spot him , so he can't ult without being seen.
Fiddle outfarms you so you need to gank more than him , hes really good into Rengar when ahead.
â
Get Ricked says âHis fear makes it hard to jump on him. If he ults you out of nowhere he can kill you. Easily punishable when those abilities are down. â
NathanPyke says âFiddle support is okay but if he has a burst adc you're dead when he fears but if you have aftershock snowball lane instantly.
For jungle if you manage to get duskblade very early you can just perma counter jungle him till he has no late game.â
G Spot God says âMain thing is to keep your E until he starts sucking you off. If you do that then you should win this fairly easily. Get mercs for sure since his fear and silence last for eons.â
DarkAuraLOL says âIf you invade him at the right time, where he is doing a double clear or so, he will be low on health, perhaps you can one shot him, sometimes you can make it to his blue early game where he does blue and gromp, take your raptors then invade his blue, he's free. he'll give you an early form, although he's gonna be annoying with his CC and zhonyas mid/late. He also scales and got a nice jungle clear.
â
EvoNinja7 says âFiddlesticks is really weak in the early game, which can open up invades, but once he hits level 6 be slightly more cautious since he can do a lot of damage if you're in the general area.â
MetaSolaray says âIf you can go Conqueror with Nimbus clock, his fear early game is so weak you can push through and your E cancels his W clean. As long as he doesn't ambush you, you win these trades with invades, counterganks, and pushing objectives early.â
DarkAuraLOL says âfiddlesticks, like evelynn is really weak in early 1v1's but hes a bit stronger for his sustain and cc, and he doesn't lose much health in jungle, but you can look for stealing his camps to hold him behind, fight him in jungle and either kill him or get many orbs for form, try to spot him on his blue at lvl 2-3 , he will try to do both gromp and blue, u can kill him there and steal both. don't let him free farm and scale, cause at 6 he's a braindead champion .â
RedNBlue says âHe will cc you to heaven and he will just drain your little life from you and bash you like Evelynn except he will not do it as fast so take advatage of the time you have left in this world. Please...â
C7 Lord Pingu says âOnly saying this is even because of the strong teamfight presence this guy brings. You can fight him pretty easily at most stages. You can essentially perma cancel his drain because he doesnt get the reduced cooldown from it and your stun CD is about the same as his heal. Just try to make sure he doesn't get a juicy ult and you should be fine. You can go any build vs him.â
RedNBlue says âFiddlesticks is a cc engine and he is probably one of the worst champions to go against if not the worst as Lillia. he will just cc you and he can kite you just like you can kite him and this just isn't a matchup in your favor.â
FlamingZ says âFiddle needs level 6 to pop off, so until then you have time to get off one or two ganks. After that, however, be careful that he doesn't try for a counter-gank.â
J03B0B says âHis extremely fast clear allows him to pressure you and your lanes early. This along with his free vision makes it hard for you to impact the game pre 6.
Post 6 he can counter your engages by ulting your back line OR using his E silence to stop your engage.
Good vision and tracking his pathing is key to doing well in this match up but it's still very difficult.â
GabrielGames says âEarly game he can easily escape from you. If you're able to combo him he should be dead - remember to stun him during his w tho. Late game he is a monster â
TheMrDarkness says âtake executioner's and go into his jungle. If You have healing reduction, he can't do anything and will cry for his teammates to help himâ
Simon The Shaco Main says âYou don't really win 1v1s with this guy, he can outheal your damage. He always knows if you're near because his W can be used only when there are enemies nearby (like Trynd slow). You can beat him by popping.â
Schadenfreude says âIt all depends on if you can catch him. His fear is a hard disengage and will possibly outheal your damage if he builds right. Try to catch him off guard and try to put him behind as much as possible. â
Aurelius2142 says âYou beat him early, he beats you late - you're better 1v1, he's better in teamfights. You both win at your own specialties, so try to force it whenever possible.â
Karthus man says âFiddle isn't a big threat because he is very squishy. The only thing you should be weary of is when he ults and when he fears you because he can do a lot of damage to you,â
Ivern OTP says âFiddle's clear speed and counter gankability gives him and extra edge on Ivern. Fiddle is really strong in this patch with the new items and can really cause havoc for you and your team. â
Maile says âFiddlesticks also cannot threaten your early game. He's just really annoying to kill because of his fear so just invade him with a buddy and make him cry. â
Connweasel says âThis is a skill matchup, Fiddlesticks is looking to play in the fog of war, which is where you rule king. If you can spot fiddlesticks on the side before he ults, you can assassinate him with ease. However if he uses his R, watchout.â
FrankynFood says âVery annoying matchup because he can cancel your e or fear you away when you activate ult. Be sure to look for opportunities to counter-gank once he hits 6.â
CalicoCactus says âSkill matchup I like to think. Save both of your CC for when he tries to channel his drain and just keep autoing him down. Bramble is very good into him as well as 50% of his kit is just healing off people.â
Trexori says âEasiest matchup of your LIFE. He's just about as weak as you are early game, though I would still not risk it. You cancel his entire kit with yours.â
NightSoar says âHis vast amounts of CC can hurt your combo and your health really badly. Just farm and Roam. Be careful if he goes MIA as he could be channelling his ult over a wall.â
Minase says âAbsolutely gross matchup - he farms just as fast as you do and his wards give his team true-vision meaning they will act as pink wards. Look to charm him into a one-shot and not to pick fights with him until later on.â
Orfeass says âHe isn't a threat, you both will just farm it up and you will be able to have more impact on the map and in teamfights you will just bring more to the table.â
BoyWonder00 says âHe is hard to kill as Rhaast as he heals almost as much as you. As SA, he just fears you and walks away. Plus, he rushes hourglass, so he can be hard to kill.â
FalleN3 says âFiddlesticks is not in a good place right now and he is not dreadfully hard to play against. Having said that you will have to be mindful of his Fear and Silence as they can make him quiet annoying to deal with. Be careful if you meet him near a jungle camp as his (E) Dark Wind could bounce off you several times.â
FalleN3 says âHis fear can be quiet annoying. Try to break his drain if you can before 1v1 with him or else you will struggle to take health from him. Be careful if you meet him near a jungle camp as his (E) could bounce off you several times.â
PH45 says âCan be difficult to duel as you have nothing that can interrupt his drain. That being said after you get your Darkin form this matchup should become easier.â
Holessando says âThis is a really annoying champion, and really strong late game champion.. his power is enourmous, he's the current meta, so strong, his fear, hp steal, it's just so op, really hard matchup, maybe dodge. He will probably be ahead when good, and you can't really contest him when ahead. You gotta kill him early, so you get ahead, if he's behind he can't do much without items and kills. â
Bouhhsolene says âYou are very vulnerable to CC so he's kind of annoying. The good thing is that if he focuses your ADC, then you can kill everyone.â
metalhydra273 says âFiddlesticks is much more equipped to deal with you now thanks to the added fears he got. He is very hard to deal with now that he packs all the fears and a silence to boot. Getting in to deal with him can prove difficult if you're not ahead early. Look to spot out his ult before he gets the jump on you and try to track him down to deny ganks that can set him ahead. You can beat him 1v1 though, look to stun him while he's draining. I recommend building tanky in this matchup to survive his burst and punish him, such as an early adaptive helm.â
SHACO BOLADO says âvocĂȘ conssegue cancelar a chupada dele com sua box, e baitar ele com sua ult, dificilmente vc ganha um 1v1 contra ele , cuidado com spots de ult, e nunca se agrupeâ
DemacianStandard says âFree invades without counterplay. Just use an Oracle Lens while doing so. Play around their early game and invade if they attempt a gank. â
Xe0N says âHe is a farming jungler(like you) and will most likely leave you unattended. You may need to couterjungle a few times if he plays aggressive.â
Reason97 says âI have yet to play against the reworked fiddlesticks midlane, so this threat level may need adjusted, but until such a time i get first hand experience i will be leaving him here. He's still largely based around his Ult, so in a straight lane matchup you (in theory) have the advantage, just be weary about getting jumped when you don't know where he is. his silence and his fear together make for an annoying time if you attempt to get him off of you, so just keep that in mind and give him a little space. â
KaRMaX says âFiddlestick depends a lot about his R which has a pretty long CD.
He can be annoying with his cc, so prepare yourself and choose tenacity in runes (Precision) and buy merc's.
With that he is no match for youâ
ShroudedBRH says âHis E is short cooldown and costs almost no mana and he can hit you with the backline creeps his Q allows him to deter any of your all in damage. Once he gets R avoid accepting teamfights and all ins without enough vision on flanking positionsâ
chasemyman1 says âIts tough to say as Fiddlesticks value comes in 3v3 or more fights with his Ultimate. You however destroy him early as your cocoon prevents his healing. Use your advantage early to snowball other lanes. He clears camps insanely quickly so its tough to counter jungle.â
Sandomar says âFiddlesticks is scary if fed and at a distance. So don't feed him, steal his Blue Buff so he can't feed, and Bear-Stun to break his drain. You'll wipe him off the map in a few seconds.â
reganakers says âFiddle without the cc = worthless. After 6 you can just run him down easily. He wants to clear his camps and is very weak early so go and make his life hard in his jungle, because if you can manage to isolate him its a free kill.â
stziswhatihave says âIf you know what you are doing, this matchup shouldn't be too hard.â

CinderTheSnake says âAs long as you have the element of surprise on him this should be an easy matchup. the only thing that you should watch out for is his ult and his fear in teamfights. â
PsiGuard says âFiddle is a bit overtuned at the moment and his silence & fear can stop you from escaping sticky situations with R. If you fight him, you'll need to charm and burst him before he can use any abilities, otherwise he'll heal back some of his HP and CC you so long you won't be able to finish him. Keep your warding totem and help your team ward dangerous spots that he might ult from. You can also use Farsight wards to spot him if it's too dangerous to facecheck later in the game.â
classicnoob says âThis new Fiddle is pretty strong,but you have the early lead on him,Watch out for his Ulti-Fear or Other Abilities.
I Don't tend to ban him much.â
bluelunged says âHis early game is really weak, and it's easy to 1v1 him. You have 2 ways of interrumpting his W, which will put it on a longer CD.â
ManiacChester says âHe's ranged but he can't really can't do much to you. His reliance on W is way too much. Stay out of range. Level 6 and just poke and kill him. â
FrickLillie says âIf you fight fiddle in a 1v1 you will probably win but you have to be very careful and have a lot of vision because if his ult fears you then you will probably die.â
BrawlerDave says âMust be deep warded, and get executioner early (before sheen)
The ganking potenital of this champ is big, better to fight him off after you get your lvl 6, and wait for him to use W.â
Happty says âKind of hard to kill, just make sure to avoid his R or Q, but if he gets you with his R, try to E away from him and hit him with W, after his R ends, try to kill him and pray that he doesn't have his Q, since it can turn the tables.â
KillyOne says âReworked Fiddlesticks is no better than the old Fiddlesticks. For Warwick it isn't a real threat, but he does bring a lot of crowd control and surprise engages to the game. Be careful of his sneaky ultimates, which is what every Fiddlesticks is going to try to pull off when you least expect him. Keep warding flanks when taking objectives.â
League Of Cursed says âWho said Fiddlestick is weak, it is extremely strong from the beginning to the end of the game because of the ability to shock when so magic power and strong recovery from W should be resisted, but notice the puppets you will not know Where is the real thing
â
Dopamine_influx says âFast clear if he's good, he can be lvl 4 on scuttle spawn. You win with triple Q though, but the fight will take a while so you need prio. He can't really kill you, but you usually don't kill him either, unless you catch him in his jungle pre zhonyas. You snowball hard though, so if you manage to kill early and double scuttle, you can easily invade and kill again. Post 6 his counterganks and ganks are insane, and hard to counter. He's annoying as hell in skirmishes and teamfights.â
Stiwy says âI have seen some fancy aftershock fiddkesticks top these days but keep in mind that your E can break his W channel.
Just don't trade too often because he can heal a lot.
Healing reduction is heavily suggested.
The 10.15 nerfs ended this guy's career in toplane and he is a very minor threat.â
Xeldom says âEven match-up.
Fiddlesticks will easily out farm you due to his innate ability to clear multiple camps at once. Use your ult late game to reveal his location and pick off the priority target.â
Jogress says âI have yet to see a good Fiddle on Lillia.
You have quite a good speed to break his drains in the midgame, also, this exact speed may make his ult useless. But "Fear is your enemy", so "Tenacity is your friend".
Also, you may consider Adaptive helmet, later onâ
AWierdShoe says âHe is a heavy CC champ like Zac but with less tankiness. You need to invade him early and try to shut him down so he doesn't scale. Just be aware of his CC as his Q and E allow him to disengage. I recommend rushing Executioner's Calling to mitigate his extreme healing with his W. â
DarkArbalist613 says â Fiddle is really weak to early invades, so make sure to take advantage of that. if he is fed he can one shot you if he gets off his original fear from stealth so make sure to play around Vision.â
Comrade Eshgrim says âYou have no means to interrupt his drain resulting in him winning most duels between you. You can try to invade him early with red buff cheese but better to avoid a 1 on 1 fight with him later on. Save your teammates with your ult from his all-in and follow up on his ganks.â
TheRealAlpacaDG says âFiddle isn't much of a problem for you with phase rush, you can simply run away. Look out for over the wall ults, other than that he should have little kill pressure, get your laners to come if he invadesâ
Omega Zero says âFid alone? Fine, but annoying with his fear. Fid with team disrupting a gank? Be EXTREMELY cautious. Also he'll have Zhonya so have fun. Also him fearing you doesn't slow you so you'll be running 50 miles an hour AWAY from him.â
nextonetwo says âhe has a lot of healing, but you have 2 hard cc spells, just wait for him to heal or just kill him, he's pretty squishy throughout the game.â

FreefallPH says âFiddlesticks is also a weak jungler at early game. If you engage him just make sure that you only press q if he starting to drain your life.â
Hide on Nidalee says âOhhh Fiddle, probably the harder match of the majors threats but u can beat him too, he's so squeeshy so you can oneshot him, but if he initiate on you, you're dead hahaâ
Kamisore says âInvade as much as possible, if he gets behind it's free game, you win early 1v1's as well, but if he gets to free farm late game he'll just press R and delete your entire team.â
Heihro EUNE says âIts just now reworked i dont played any game against him, you can 1v1 him but he can carries teamfights with his r so just careful with him!â
Al3ksP says âFiddlesticks will get slaughtered if ults your close heĂ€ll get stunned and take alot of damage, try to q and hit him in the back and finish him of with your E â
Flux31 says âBecause of Fiddlesticks' secondary passive, he has a good kit to fight Warwick, but if executed correctly Fiddle can be even when in skirmishesâ
Sorrowful Prince says âDon't ever teamfight if you don't see him. Always take Control Wards because vision is king. Don't bother invading him he will block you and wait for his laners. If you countergank him while his q is on cooldown he is doomed. If you manage to get ahead you can go qss after trinity and hunt him down.â
GinWinsky says âCan burst him at any point. Put a box between you and him so when he uses his W, he gets feared. After 6 and duskblade you can burst him even before he reacts with Q.â
Nico449c says âLet him use silence and q on you, then you use e and just burst him down he wont be able to do anything before lvl 6 even if he jumps on you lvl 6 your rappel can wait out hes ult and you should easy win the fights. He got bad ganks and low prio early games keep optimal vision around the map so he cant get any ganks off otherwise invade him and abuse him early.â
PrettyPinkPutin says âPoint and click fear and silence can leave you in a sour spot, he also carries quite some high damage, but he is only played as support anyway so it'll be just an annoying CC bot peeling for someone else.â
lheisse says âFiddlesticks is immobile, making him a easy target, and you can usually block his fear. However, if he catches you off guard with a ult, he may be able to take you outâ
Marcua says âOhh, a big scary scarecrow! How cute! I love to play against Fiddlestick players. They are one of the most predictable jungle champions. They will often go for a wolf start, followed by a gromp + blue camp, where they will use their W to dmg both camps. They think they are super clever, but we know better! A well placed spear will completely destroy them, since they are already quite low from taking both camps at once.
Fiddlesticks is useless when behind, and if you get ahead on him, you will most likely stay ahead the whole game. â
BlindKidNoThumbs says âTrash champ don't get chessed invade him and gank. Apply pressure before Fiddlesticks hits 6 and your fine.Matchup will change after rework.â
The Top Bear says âNot too hard to deal with, just watch for his q. Invade all game and ward near lanes to prevent him ulting unsuspecting laners.â
probr859 says âThe fear applied by any champion works against your R, this takes you out of position and can ruin a gank opportunity.
O medo aplicado por qualquer campeĂŁo trabalha contra o seu R, isso o tira da posição e pode arruinar uma oportunidade de gank.â
ElBelmo says âDue to Fiddlesticks fear he can be a threat early , in Generall any Champ that can fear or make himself Invisible can be a Threath to Nunu. Fiddle is one of the Most Popular Counter Picks against Nunu...â
Mkcls says âHe's useless. No joke. Don't get baited by his health steal, he might outheal your dmg. Kinda hard to chase, but weak to early cheese. Just ward bushes to dont get caught in during his ult.â
Simphoria says âI rarely see Fiddle but when I do its automatically a Merc Treads game. He can counter gank well but usually sticks to his own jungle. â
HackedAccountlol says âHe can still S U C C you even when you ulted him. Silence and Fear fucks you hard esp when trying to ult him just to survive.â
Fyurex says âThis guy doesn't get played. If you ever meet him don't ever be afraid of him. He is easy to kill and doesn't do much damage without his ultâ
LFS_aXent says âFiddle relies on silencing and fearing, but with your main damage being autos, if he lands silence, you can run around him. He won't have any follow up with how fast you actually are in this build.â
shaundasschaf says âActually squishy and you can burst him down easily but his fear can make you run through the whole map. Don't wast your Ult on his Fear.â
spark2 says âYou should be so lucky to go up against a Middlesticks. He literally stands still for most of his damage and sustain, so you can land W's all day and make his life hell. He's got a lot of CC, so early Merc Treads is a good idea to shut him down. Keep your bushes warded and this is a free lane.â
Laverenz says âSkarner has a lot of mobility and movement speed, which is good, but against Fiddlesticks can be bad for you. Because if he fears you, your own movement speed will be turned against yourself, because you will run away as fast as you run towards him.â
DefinitelyNotAhmed says âWith the amount of cc Fiddlesticks has he can literally deny Amumu with his fear opening a gateway for the enemy team to wash off your team. â
CryAwake says âFiddlesticks is a very matchup wait for him to use his fear before using Heroic Charge make sure to use your Heroic Charge charge when Fiddlesticks either drains or uses his ultimate.â
Her0mars says âHe can destroy you if you don't knock him up or kill him while he drains, some fiddlesticks make it near impossible to find them and stop their ult before a teamfight, really a skill matchup on their positioning. You won't see many fiddlesticks though.â
Yuki H. says âFiddlestick's clear is very healthy, but is 1v1 potential isn't the highest. His fear will most likely deny any chances of a straight 1v1, so look to invade and wait for him to use his fear on the camp/go out of mana before engaging on. You are capable of one shotting him in the mid game with your core items.â
KhaZix Mains says â[3/10] Can nullify your impact with his point-and-click CC but once you get level 6 or an item lead you can burst him relatively easy. Be sure to keep in mind of his items to see when he gets hourglass as you can get baited into a fight or collapsed on if you try to pick him while he has his Hourglass active up. Try to have your team lock him down so you can burst him and keep in mind his cooldowns to know when to jump in during teamfights. Keep wards around flanks around mid/lategame to scout out his ultimate engages.â
Maltz says âReally bad champion, Spikes at lvl 6 but you outfarm and outgank pre 6 while u are even at 6 if you both have R, without R you hardwinâ
Yzroma says âTu ne peux pas 1v1 fiddle sans ton ultime. Essaye de le one shot avec un combo Q AA E AA R AA E il n'aura pas le temps de fear ou le fera pendant ton ultime.â
The Jhin Cena says âLate game, you can protect your team by CCing his ult and then popping Zhonya's. He's really squishy so if you catch him offguard you'll be able to win.â
Leapus says âYou can first blood easily, but it can be really hard if he uses his R and you can't escape it. You can still oneshot him in most cases but don't forget he will get a Zhonya.â
Bombabo says âYou can kill this man by looking at him. Be sure to charm him, since he can easily shut you down with his fear, so take him down quickly.â
Chosokabe says âHis fear is the bane of your existence. If you ult and he hasn't used fear, you're pretty much out of the fight if he fears you. QSS will save you the hassle. â
HAMMERSLAYER says âA very passive jungler until level 6 that hits a powerspike afterwards, once he gets ulti he will search and target all lanes for potential kills that will allow him to snowball in midgame.â
LixoPanado says âAnnoying at most, his fear, silence, they can all cancel your ulti. Luckily building a spirit visage will make it much easier on you, easy to counter jungle as well.â
lolWillieP says âFear is his only escape. Invade this guy 24/7. Btw yur bear interupts his drain, so make sure to save the slap for when the drain startsâ
Toad12138 says âYou crush him like paper in the jungle, but he has his fear and silence which is annoying to deal with. Becareful of his ult in fights, get vision control so he cannot surprise ult you and your team.â
MasutaKokoBot says âAn enemy fiddlesticks (support mostly) is pretty hard to lane against. His silence can prevent you from healing, and does a decent amount of damage. Try to watch for his ultimate too. Get the banshees veil to protect you. Tenacity works well against his Fear!â
noolan says âIf the other team has a fiddle, you are so screwed. Two of his abilities cancel your ultimate. I have personal experience with this matchup, and believe me it is not going to be a fun game for you. This guy can and will make you completely useless for your team, no matter how fed you think you are.â
Fruxo says âHe can silence you which will keep you from using ur abilities + he has his annoying fear which he uses in combination with his W, CC'ing him while he's draining is a great idea to remove and setup some returning damage, but be careful! His R becomes very deadly in combination with his ADC and can really do a lot of damage towards you.â
Twist21 says âYou might underestimate this pick but his w is strong in early levels but if you build a bit of mr you should be able to beat him easily lvl6.â
EpicEvan921 says âHe has a couple areas of concern. 1, His Q. A fear that can last longer than 2 seconds (when maxed out). Engage from behind him whenever possible. He can fear you into your own team, best case scenario. 2, His E. Make sure he has this down before you go in.â
BigBadVoodo says âVery easy to kill on the early level's. We cancel out his drain with our boxes and running ignite just ensures we get early kills on him.â
xTheUnlimited says âThe main fact why you counter him is his W. He has to stand still to use it, but you can easily interrupt it. Also, against Fiddlesticks, I would go for an invade to bully him. You even outdamage him in early game with a red buff. â
woofpack3 says ânobody should be playing fiddle jungle in 2019. if they picked it blind they're dumb and deserve to lose. if they counterpicked it than they read that you're morg jungle and can't stop their drain and have probably 3 times as many brain cells as albert einsteinâ
OmnimX says âHis fear and silence impact your ability to get your charm off, but if you don't give him time to react, you should be alright. He also won't damage you all that much and is very vulnerable to you invading him.â
MintyMizu says âHe can completely cuck you with his W (causes you to flee) which just stops you in your tracks for a good 100 years. When ganking a botlane with fiddlesticks support try to go for him if you think you can kill him or his adc.â
Violzandre says âHeadache, his fear and his lifesteal are a little threat in early, but you can easily kill him in late.
Just be careful if he have zhonya and use her R, and be careful with... your team!! yes, if your team doesn't know how to ward and avoid his R, the fiddlestick will win a teamfight and.... you'll be 1 vs 5
I'll pray for you.â
Wulfery says âSo, if you disrupt his life sucking, you still can get silenced, and then feared. His CC on fear is good enough to make him a threat. Tho', he has a nice ult you can easily use.â
weinerman says âhah, pathetic, his e can be annoying (for your support not you) so try moving to a point where you can spell shield the e without it bouncing to your support (it still bounces after getting spell shielded SO stupid). can't really engage on YOU so you get to pick your winning fights whether you like it or not.â
Loul_60 says âFIddlesticks isn't too bad of a matchup. He is also very weak currently in the jungle. He lacks much clear speed and gank potential, just try to avoid 1v1s with him early as his CC and range does pose a threat.â
TricolorStar says âAlthough Fiddlesticks has the element of surprise, you have the element of stealth. Take advantage of his extreme squishiness and burst him down when you see an opening.â
Ivker21 says âTo avoid him in team fights always ward over a wall you think he'll come over. If he still gets in and Ults just Bandage Toss him or ult him to protect your team.
Outside of that, you win the 1v1. once he fears you just Q in later. He has no escape and you'll just out damage him.
He also clears slower than you, but he is healthy, so consider counter jungling him if his team can't help him and you have enough HP.â
Hunterlogic says âCant do much against you. He might try to kill the dragon at level 3 so I suggest warding it and stick near bottom just in case.â
CalebsLegacy says âAs long as you get your combo off, he is easy to beat. I've seen some good fiddlesticks in the past so be careful. Early levels, a good fiddlesticks can win. â
Castcade says âFiddlesticks is no longer considered a jungler or maybe i don't know but he is pretty easy to fight just q away from his w then call wolf to get back into the fight I recommened playing VERY AGGRESSIVE and counter jungle as much as you canâ
Salmon Kid says âFiddle has point and click CC which is bad, but his W range is extremely kitable and he cannot fight you late. With good vision control and him not hitting a crazy ult, this matchup is fine since you both farm at a similar pace.â
scriptying says âRun Cleanse against him if you struggle with the matchup. Not really a problem 1v1, but his fears, silence and ult render you useless in teamfights.â
Hazardist says âYou should always look to bully Fiddlesticks in his jungle as he's easy to lock down and will never beat you one on one.
Runeset to take: Conqueror.â
MannerlessNG says âNon-Factor.
He's not a threat to you if you play right, but he is a threat to your team after level 6.
It is paramount that you and your team ward typical bushes and gaps that'd he'd use to jump over, and try not to start fights in a spot he'll pop into existance from.
He has nothing he can do to you, and if he ults and you see it early, shove him accross the road with your E and delete his team.
Also if you see a Fiddle randomly standing in a bush, it's a fake, don't ult it please.â

Tips Against Fiddlesticks as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Fear The Jester says âGain bush control and hes useless, if you know hes in a bush, place a box in his W range to bait out the W. really easy engage, just place W right behind them and they usually Q or W without moving out of it.â
Quoko says âFiddlesticks support can be really dangerous. His fear makes it hard to engage, and his passive can bait you into bad trades. Always keep vision around lane bushesâif he gets a hidden [[Terrify]] (Q) or a surprise ult [[Crowstorm]] (R), you're in trouble. Play safe, poke from range, and donât facecheck.â
Pykings says âThe way you counter Fiddle is simply respecting his R, warding (lots), and constantly reminding your teammates possible Fiddle R angles.
Make sure to space out when sieging to prevent the entire team getting wiped from Fiddle R.
Ideally save either Q or E to cancel his W.
Consider items like Vigilant Wardstone, mercs, edge of night, and maybe even hexdrinker.â
Aerenax says âFiddlesticks is annoying to play against as he claims bush control and wonât let go. If you go in he will probably fear you instantly so tenacity is highly advisable in this lane. If you come out of the fear you have tools to cancel his healing or even his R. Make sure you focus on vision in this matchup.â
xpwnz1337 says âCounterplay: Mercury's Treads rush. Optional AP antiheal (as he doesn't auto you). After your ADC 5/0 in lane because of trollpick support, ward bushes before roaming so ADC wont throw a game to Fiddlesticks support ult.
Cancel his W so he cant drain tank. Play around vision.â
Foxirion says âFiddlesticksâ crowd control and area of effect damage can be extremely threatening to Nautilus. His ultimate can disrupt Nautilusâ engages and turn the tide of team fights.â
Foxirion says âFiddlesticks' crowd control and sustained damage can be a challenge for Rakan, especially in team fights where Fiddlesticks can fear multiple targets and disrupt Rakan's engages.â
Liluu says â⥠Aery Standard or Guardian Standard; Celestial Opposition > Boots of Swiftness > Moonstone Renewer > Dawncore > Redemption or Locket of the Iron Solari â
Your_ Local_Eldritch_Horr says âIts passive is annoying, so its his silence, so be careful hopping off. Don't get tricked by its effigies. If you see it ulting, get on your adc and get the hell outta dodge. Pretty squishy until around 6, so use that to your advantage and poke the hell outta it.â

Fear The Jester says âSkill matchup, your boxes give vision so use them to catch him when you think hes ulting, his effigy after lvl 6 reveals your boxes, his W will show when youre nearby invis but you can place a box in a bush thats in his W range to make it seem like youre invis engaging because his W will light up as something is now in range to activate it to make them waste W to burn their mana, your R will take more damage from his R and die before you doâ
Aerenax says âFiddlesticks is a niche support pick that you won't see often. If you do see him, play around vision and use your ult to cancel his fear when he surprise ults your team. This way you can create distance between him and your team. â
Cyclic says âUncommon to see this matchup. Generally you should be pretty free to poke as you can abuse your range to do much more then he can, just make sure to ping his roams and once he hits 6 ping and be careful of the ult from over walls as that is really his only playâ
Gobomo says âFiddlesticks is a strange laner to face, but you should be able to win by virtue of having better vision control with your very high map presence. In the lane, be wary of his Es from bush to fear you, and be aware that he has hard CC on his Q. As long as you play around his CC and don't sit in his W, you should be fine. â
gizemdeniz says âHe'll try to ambush us with his ultimate and lots of fear CC, but he'll not be able to catch up with us. Our damage will push him either to retreat pretty hard or we will lose thanks to our team's decisions.â
Fenreee says â|||JUNGLE||| Fiddle jungle can't really stop you from invading him, so ward him up and just be a complete nuisance to him, so your jungler can take over the game. You can clear his wards with Q, so if you know where his wards are, you can clear them from quite a long distance. You can cancel his R channel with CC, so if you see him channel it you can flash R for an instant cancel as Janna R has literally 0 cast time. I strongly recommend trying to take over the vision game early on to delay fiddle a bit, just because a fed fiddle usually means your team inherently loses the vision war, especially in higher elo brackets. He has a surprisingly hard time oneshotting Janna, so if he sucks at coordinating with his team, or if he just isn't very fed, then Mikaels isn't necessarily needed. Swifties work well against his E, since if he silences you your only way of escaping his W is running out of it. He can cancel your R with both Q and E, so watch out for that. Fiddle pretty much always uses Zhonya with his R, so don't expect to be able to knock him away if he gets it off.â
ARealFakeIdentity says âYou can defeat his wards easily from a somewhat safe distance, however his fear being a point-&-click can stop your engages easily, engaging directly with your E may not work all the time.â

TreezNutz says âThrows out lots of CC and poke, and can silence you mid-ult-cast with a basic ability. â
Lugos says âHis ultimate and lifesteal are really strong, you will need antiheal asap. Make sure to predict him being behind walls to use his R, if he cant catch you off guard you have a good chance of surviving and winning the fights.â
GoldenCat says âIf Fiddle is on the enemy team, then keep sneaky wards over walls and in choke spots, to cancel out his fear, and if he has his Egify, use Q on it to check if it is real or fake.â
DixonTheGuideMaker says âDo not push the lane without having the lane bushes warded in the bottom lane. You never know, Fiddle could be hiding in there and ready to pounce. Fiddlesticks is rather immobile and generally pushes the wave. Try to request ganks from your Jungler and then go in just before they arrive for the maximum chance of killing him. Try and bait out his Terrify(Q) before fully committing to an engage otherwise he will interrupt the exchange. One way you can do this is by walking forward and falsely baiting an engage. Whenever he uses his Q, abuse the cooldown.â
M4DN355 says âAs long as you go one or two tenacity runes, Fiddlesticks shouldn't be a big problem early game in lane. Since Fiddlesticks is also very squishy, he tends to rush Zhonya's Hourglass, so don't get baited by it when you decide to go in and try to execute him.â
Jageiko says âFiddle will be a massive problem for you only if you can't maintain vision on him. It's a jungler that does not dash, but blinks above a wall and fear if he wasn't seen before doing it. You can instantly E himon the wall afterwards or to break his W. If he's fed, it becomes way harder. If you can manage to predict his R, just R him away. He will go cry in the jungle a bit and come back later.â
LordZaneLP says âThis is a thing now i guess, can always Q you away but when you interupt his W with your W it should be a won fight. Still hard to do it. But you counter his R later in game.â
Tom3kk says âTeleports into your lane, fears you, kills you refuses to elaborate further.
Put wards in your bushes, not a real threat to you in team fights or while attached, but he can just appear suddenly and make sure you die if he catches you being unattached.â
NathanPyke says âFiddle support is okay but if he has a burst adc you're dead when he fears but if you have aftershock snowball lane instantly.
For jungle if you manage to get duskblade very early you can just perma counter jungle him till he has no late game.â
Mr buckets says âKeep the corners warded lookout for his ult and try to cancel with your ult or q, besides that he ainât much of a threat if u respect his ult engage.
â
Aerenax says âFiddlesticks is annoying to play against as he claims bush control and wonât let go. He is constantly looking to fear you which interrupts your mobility and makes you vulnerable for the enemy ADC. Itâs important to establish good vision versus a fiddlesticks to avoid getting feared, ulted out of vision or ganked. Fiddlestick will have the upper hand in the vision wars as his passive Scarecrow Effigy is really strong for this.â
LimTheDestructor says âUsually you should focus Fiddlesticks while engaging 2v2. After level 6, ward places that can be used by Fiddlesticks for engage (often bushes, raptor camp etc.). Use R-stun on Fiddlesticks who is casting his R.â
warmfishu says âReap (E) will silence Yuumi. Terrify (Q) will cause champions to flee, and abilities he uses after sitting unseen in a bushes for a couple seconds also causes them to flee; this resets Yuumi's W.â
LegendaryOstrich says âFiddlesticks with aftershock makes it very difficult for Thresh to be able to do much in lane. You can look for hooks on him but he is very mobile once he gets his mobility boots + his passive which gives him movement speed. Try to lantern your ADC to safety if he ults to you. ALWAYS keep flanks warded + lane bushes warded to avoid getting spooked by his ultimate.â
SlippStream says âSuper low mobility and a lack of long-range CC plague this champion. So long as you keep vision around botlane, you'll be OK. Always look for him to roam, though.â
millysenpai says âExtremely annoying to lane against as hes constantly trying to pressure lane, make sure to keep bushes ward, watch map for control incase of his ult at level 6.â
Biotic says âYou will rarely face it, but Fiddle is one of THE Countermatchups for Zilean. His long Range Silence and CC chain will not allow you to ult. Try to roam and win your other lanes. Mobility boots first item and leave your adc feeding to it.â
Doody_tco says âThe ultimate of Fiddlesticks is the main ability to be feared, but it is easy to get your carry away with healing, or even stunning in critical casesâ
SkyCrafter1209 says âThis goes for both jungle and support, fiddle is annoying with his Q point & click and E silence, but you dodge his ult by attaching.â
Go Getter says âFiddle can do a lot if he's competent, with some decent disengage with his Fear but he's way too squishy to fight you for long.
You demolish him mid game.â
DasNerdwork says âKnocking him up or charming him while he is channeling his ultimate will cancel it completely. Also step away from your ally when he's targetted by Dark Wind to prevent it from bouncing as much as possible. If he gets ahead try some magic resistance!â
Dotje says âHis fear is pretty long and his poke is still pretty decent. Make sure to ward over walls and bushes and generally be careful when he's hiding in a bush for his ult.â
Hive Mind says âin the early game you only need to have vision of the bushes in lane, but then you will be forced to buy a QSS if you want to save your team from his Râ
Ionia King says âEarly game fiddlesticks is mediocre, but when his Q is maxed his fear has a really long duration. If you W in and don't land on him and he fears you and follows up with a silence, you're a goner. Go full tenacity against Fiddle and make sure you focus him on your engages.â
AriyaIsTheBest says âThis little fricker is annoying as balls. Fiddlestick's E silences you, so stay a good distance away from minions and your ADC to prevent the E from bouncing to you and your ADC. Ward bushes and stay away from them, as he will ambush you with ult. He is really squishy, so poke him out.â
Tartmeringue says âFiddle support is rough. you probably won't be able to do anything. you can counter his ult if you stack tenacity and bop him away.â
xDopii says âVery strong and annoying champion. His point and click CC into unavoidable poke will make laning very boring. Standing near walls may lead to a fast death, as he could ult over and start a fight, so avoid that.â
Wounds2 says âFiddlesticks can completely counter you if he gets the time to fear you. When you take trades with Fiddle in lane, always E out immediately so that he does not have time to fear you and drain your health back.â
fishbully says âONLY IN SUPPORT ROLE: Fiddlesticks will lose hard in lane however will perma-roam after level 6 whenever he has ult. Remember to ping and remind your teammates that Fiddlesticks is a deadly force even if said fiddlesticks is 0/7.â
CaptianMike says âAnnoying because of his poke, but after laning phase you are much more useful. Luckily, he isn't too common as support anymore. Not worth a ban.â
Hceercs says âAnnoying poke,he usually has aftershock and will W you while you focus him. He can also flank well after 6, so if you can't get good wards in you need to play more defensive. I'd recommend playing around his Q cooldown, and then focusing his ADC. â
katt5 says âIf he gets early kills its bad news, but you outrange him. Try to keep wards up in bushes lvl 6 so he can't sneak an ult. Avoid getting in range of his fear.â
Kilo Khaos says âWhile his Terrify (Q) makes hooking him somewhat difficult, you should have no real issues with him. Make sure to stand away from minions to avoid his crow. You can also interrupt his ult channel to deny him engages and burn CDs.â
KajiKumihoAkukei says âFiddlesticks is a tougher match-up then you would suspect because of the amount of poke he provides, combined with his fear (that can make you useless for a couple of seconds) and his all-in potential with his crowstorm.
The good thing about this match-up is how squishy he is.
Make sure to always ward the bushes in lane so he doesn't get a free ultimate off.
If you see him channeling his ultimate, try to interrupt him with your hook and after that save your flay for when he uses drain, so he can't just sustain up.
Once you start all-inning Fiddlesticks he has no real way to escape.â
Vahlok says âDon't get trolled by his passive. Ward around where the main fights are happening (for example at raptors camp). Prepare your lantern to repositionate your adc / apc.â
Wicked Cherry says âHe can be ultra annoying but on the bright side he's squishy. If you manage to silence him before he does with you, you can most likely kill him. But be careful, he really is a handful and you should consider warding unusual corners from where he can simply pop you off with his ult.â
Crippledtoot says âThere is almost nothing you can do to stop him. You might be able to stun lock him long enough to kill him. Although, most fiddle supports get Spirit Visage, Zhonya's Hourglass and max W. I would ban this everytime if not for the fact the pick is not that popular.â
snukumz says âHis poke hurts a lot and outranges you.
Watch out for his ult or you'll get melted before you can do much damage.
His heal can cancel out your ult, and negate a lot of the poke you do.
You out damage his without his ult though and he's squishy, so try to poke him & his ADC down, especially him as soon as he trys to heal off a minion. â
snukumz says âHis poke is very annoying but he's very squishy and can be deleted if you land your stun.
Be wary of wasting your ult on his Zhonyas/stop watch. â
sorakabro says âFiddle is really hard for soraka, the silence and fear is really good vs her take care and play safe. Try save your silence (E) for when they go in or fiddle uses (W).â
thesophieset says âReally annoying early game. Stay away from minions so you don't get hit by the silence as it bounces. If you see him channel his ult in a lane bush, cancel it with your E. Mikael's early to clear the fear off your ADC will help tremendously.â
snukumz says âHis poke hurts and is super annoying.
He can easily heal most of the poke damage you do to him, until he runs out of mana.
He is squishy so if you snare him you and your ADC should be able to drop him very low or kill him.
Watch out for his level 6 trickery, as he and his ADC can melt you. â
Sq_09 says âGood poke and high amounts of CC. His Q can shut an engage down and his E is a ton of damage and a good way to prevent your peel. Can also R out of your bushes. â
SynLynx says âI haven't played Taliyah Support into this matchup before, but I can imagine this is quite a good lane for you. His silence will be a problem, so be careful of it, but he won't be able to use his wow at all since you'll just w or q him when he does.â
Abusable Yuumi says âAnnoying at best pre-6, with the new silence change his crows don't ruin you anymore.
Consider asking ADC to take Cleanse over Barrier.
Past level 6 he's extremely dangerous and with ignite he'll all in you any chance he gets. Rush Mikaels after Athene's for the fear.â
HoneyQT says âIf someone plays Fiddle support for whatever reason, chances are you're going to beat him. He does nothing you don't directly counter.â
PayyBack says âKeep track of his silence and fear. You can zone him hard if he uses them. Donât let him heal up after he uses his cooldowns. Fiddle has a good laning phase so if you donât know how to deal with that shove the lane hard early, so he canât abuse minions to his advantage. When he hits 6 itâs important to push into their tower or he is gonna use the bushes. When you feel like you canât push anymore let the enemy push into your tower. You never wanna fight fiddle in the middle of the lane, thatâs where he has the most control.â
Flint124 says âLater in the game, Crowstorm is a threat if you haven't shut him down.
Thing is, it's really easy to shut him down.
In lane, he's free gold. He can't run from you, he can't ward bushes to establish control, his disengage isn't enough to combat Wither's engage, and attempting to drain while standing in Spirit Fire is suicide.â
SorakaBestWaifu says âUpcoming rework coming up and like most rework end up being OP, don't be surprise to be annoyed by him, though in my opinion, not as annoying as those in T5.â
arbyun says âHe pokes the life out of your ADC, however, if you hop on them immediately, his E won't bounce between you guys. His ult is easily counterable by yours if you decide to use it as a disengage tool. Your ADC also can't engage, unless it's a Sivir. Just wait until late game, you outscale him immensely.â
Loggit says âDifficult to play against and can stop you in your tracks with his fear. Also he has a silence, which can mess you up quite badly. Separate the ADC from him and keep them there, and try to roam mid to get kill participation.â
Jointed says âFiddlesticks is pretty nasty in lane before 6 and just plain disgusting after 6. Do not give him a lead. Objectives can be hard to secure when Fiddlesticks is alive. Be extra cautious when securing ANYTHING.â
Gravixx says âHe is very annoying to play against with his silence and poke damage, but you can out heal the poke. He also has no mobility to if you can land your abilities you will be just fine.â
Hanjaro says âFiddle can negate a lot of your engage due to his silence and fear, he can combo his fear with his ult before you manage to use yours. Try play passive and keep your lane topped up with heals.â
ningen ouroboros says âHard cc done goofs you instead, but if you get couple kills early, most fidde support players are fake supports so they won't be able to do much if you have better map control.â
Ghionova says âGood counterpick against Pyke. He can fear or silence you while you charge q or he forces you to move back and he its also possible that he dodges your E when youre feared and walk back. Just check when his q and E are on cd, without them he is a freekill and down with 2 hits. At least you have one good thing against Fiddlesticks: You can cancel his ult with your stun and hook.â
suppdiff says âYou outspike this guy. Ask for an aggro adc because he wins this lane through poke rather than all in potential. Be sure to force aggresive fights rather than a sustain lane. Ping your team when he is missing, especially after he hits 6.â
WhiteGoliath says âannoying... I didn't play much against him but he can poke from far and deny you with his Q, also has a lot of sustain avoid himâ
Ahpulzz says âDon't stay too close to your partner when laning against Fiddle, or you'll take loads of damage from Dark Wind. Engaging is just as difficult with his point-and-click fear and silence, which can also prevent an ally from taking your lantern right away. Look for ganks as he's immoble and squishy, and be sure to ward thoroughly to avoid being surprised and killed by his massive ultimate.â
Mantra Decorum says âHe is too squishy, but his poke is very annoying. Shield your adc in the right time and be careful with his R. He'll buy stopwatch occasionally, so be ready for that.â
Vermeio says âA Great range and a useful and strong silence. Play a little far from your adc, then the silence donÂŽt jump on you. His ult can be dealt with your charged ult. An Exhaust will make a difference, and a well directed E. Burst and OUT. DonÂŽt chase (adc is attacking you at that time).â
Sona Aria says âHe can't poke you out, you can't poke him out. His only threat is engage with ultimate. Vision control is top priority versus Fiddle. Mercury treads and Mikael for his fear is highly recommended.â
hi im glad says âFiddle ult is bit hard to deal with since its able to travel great distance.
Try to get wards in bush and behind walls to spot his ultâ
Better Call Phil says âSo. Annoying.
Can cancel your charging Q with his crows, will make you useless if he fears you, Health regen with his Drain and really strong Ultimate (ward bushes!)
Tip: when you are charging Q, wait for his E animation then throw your Q before the crows get to you.
RUSH LVL 2 AND ALL IN.
Will get Zhonyas, keep that in mind.
He is very squishy, so that's an advantage. â
SawyerNelson says âfiddlestick's poke is negated by Lux's shield. He is short range so lux can easily deal with his approaches / all ins in lane. So long that you are respecting and warning your team of his ULT you will win.â
Hanjaro says âI would rate this champ as a minor annoyance, not so much for yourself because your grey health sustain typically negates soft poke damage such as Fiddlesticks e, but this can be a huge problem for your carry. Aftershock Fiddlesticks is another issue altogether. If Fiddle runs aery for higher poke damage he is more punishable than if he ran aftershock so always evaluate the situation you are in. Punish fiddle on Aftershock cooldown if hes running it, or punish him for taking aery if he does. Very squishy champ can combo quickly with ignite to reduce his w healing if he tries to turn.â
Rozyrade says âIf you drop him to low health no real problems should as you can kill him once he goes all in. Not poking him out enables him to all in with his r and fear.â
FMLMOMENT says âI can't stand these mages , and this one comes with an hour long fear . On the plus side though your ult/kit counters him hard mid/lateâ
FwuffyMilk says âFiddle is an interesting support, his E bounce makes it hard to decide who to shield and silences you so if you don't make a choice to shield someone you won't even be able to.
You can whimsy his drain which is nice, try to poke him from range pre 6 and all in him if he's low. Post 6 you need to ward around the area very well because he can just pop out of the shadows with his ult and destroy you and your ADC. If you get out of laning phase without him getting kills his ult will be pretty weak in a team fight.â
SawyerNelson says âFiddlesticks jungle is pretty easy to deal with if you engage onto him with an ally. But if he is engaging onto your allies, a lanturn probably doesn't help because of the fear duration. And hooking / flaying Fiddlesticks during his ult is also not that effective. The best tools you have against fiddlesticks is wards, and expect him to ULT say over dragon or baron wall.â
Yukkine says âIf you ever find yourself up against a scarecrow, make sure to turn every moment into a mexican standoff. First one to miss their ult or get interrupted loses.â
TheComicalBiker says âFiddle's Terrify (Q) is the only major problem but it can be catastrophic. There is no way to avoid it but you can work with it. Try to engage with Q before he fears you or wait for it to be on cooldown. Another issue with Fiddle is his crow silence (E). So try to stand away from the minions and your carry to avoid a bad situation.
Try using your CC against Fiddle's heal (W) and while he channels his ultimate (R). If you hook or flay him while channeling his ultimate, it is canceled.â
Rasta Da Masta says âFiddle's kit is very conflicting with yours. He has point-click CC on 2 abilities that fear or silence. Poking him down can be troublesome since he can just use W to drain & heal. And if he goes MIA for more than 5 seconds, ping ? all over jungle and mid and maybe top.
Vision control is especially important against a Fiddlesticks. If you see him channel his R, either use W to cancel the channel or knock him away when he blinks in or knock yourself away.â
Jeroen R8 says âFiddlesticks dies very quickly so try to always engage on him instead of the ADC. By going in you will most likely force his fear, allowing your ADC to finish him off. Try to stay away from the minions to avoid his silence and poke.â
ff20orfeeding says âHis silence and ability to long range poke does, in a way outmatch ours. However, if he is caught out and has cooldowns he is VERY vulnerable.â
Guychk says âHis R deals a lot of damage. His q deals a lot of damage. His fear makes you or your laner unable to do anything for a good 2 seconds. He heals a lot from the minions if he takes too much damage. Dodge.â
devanj4 says âFiddle is literally the squishiest support just take out half his health level 1 with q + meep and keep kicking him while he's down. Stop his ult with yours.â
SpicySkelleton says âFiddlesticks is a weird champ to play against as a Sup....
Well to be honest Fiddles is a weird champ to begin with, hes very squishy for most of the game making it easy to Q and feed on him, however his E can silence both you and your adc and stack up some decent damage and his q can literally scare you off from try to Grab his adc, his W can also leech of yours and your adc's health which is very bad if one of you is low on hp, and finally his R can be used as either a second flash or a setup for a surprise gank. Just take note when he uses his Q, E and R and you should be fine.â
Saeh says âHe has a long range silence and is hard to engage on with is Q, but is also squishy. When he W's to heal your poke Silence him. You can also E his ult.â
nicko9090 says âAnnoying for your combo because of 1 Spell. His Q. Basically this lane is fairly easy because Fiddlestick is fairly squishy but his Q can fuck you up real hard. You need to win this lane at level 2 with all in on him to basically place his ADC in a 2v1 position and snowball from there. His E can be annoying so try to don't stick to close to your carry and minions because the bounce can be bothering on the long run. Be careful of bush ultimate combo after 6.â
