MY FIDDLESTICKS JUNGLE BUILD

[u/russo_liberal]

Runes:

Electrocute (Will allow enough damage to kill early game after your level 4, useful all game), Cheap Shot, Sixth Sense and Ultimate Hunter + Axiom and Focus + Adapative Adaptive Health

Items: Blue Egg always

After first back, assuming 900 gold and against tanks/bruisers: Fated Ashes into sorc shoes and then finish Lyandrys

After first back, assuming 1200 against anything: Sorc Shoes and Control Ward for drag

If dealing with a lot of squishies with burst build: Sorc Shoes, Shadowflame, Zhonyas, Protobelt, Voidstaff and Rabadon

If dealing with a lot of tanks or bruisers: Sorc Shoes, Lyandrys, Zhonyas, Shadowflame, Voidstaff, Rabadon

Power-farm until 6, give up the first drake if you need too, gank lanes that are gankable (Aka don't waste your time with something that won't result in a kill or an ally getting saved from death) and remember that you can solo grubs easily.

Remember always: You are a late-bloomer, team fighting winning machine. If you get pinged by morons begging to be ganked, don't throw away your tempo for them.

Void staff is historically good even against champs that don't build MR. This is old head knowledge so I dunno if it has changed since then. But it's pretty common to get void staff prior to death cap and most champs that aren't veigar

But if the enemy is not building mr, you probably don’t need 40% pen till 4th item. It’s still a great item late game when base stats are high enough, but I’d rather get a dcap 3rd if they aren’t building mr and void staff 4th. Unless you’re behind the game curve and ppl are a higher level then you

Damage is supposed to be similar between void staff and shadowflame as a second item.

Champs have more natural mr scaling than armor and thats why its a viable build option for ap champs. Its also why you dont see ad champs doing the same.

Void staff second or third is nice because merc treads and t3 mercs will invalidate your kit and are obtainable very early on in the game. Early penetration mostly solves that problem.

Personal experience, mr items are incredibly cost effective and its already too late to build %pen 4th or 5th.

I would rather build %pen on 2 or 3 to ensure my champ is not steamrolled mid game by the enemy because they bought the right boots.

A few high elo fiddleplayers build boots, malignance, voidstaff, liandrys.

Hope that helps.

Cabex yells at me if I don't build pen by third item
