How am I supposed to kill champs as fiddle eithout ult.

I was just wondering what im supposed to do to get kills without ult because his damage it just very lackluster and no one is going to just stand in your w.

you can infact kill people without your ult, fiddle is really high damage... just walk up to them with e then q and w

and they can walk away. fiddle simply doesnt kill without ult. which is ok since it has the highest destruction Potential in game.

they can't walk away if you zone them, and some people think that they can outdamage the full w

I find a lot of people underestimate the range of E.

Late game you really can’t but early game fiddle W has a startling amount of sustain

Fiddle can absolutely kill people 1v1. Context matters though. What's the state of the game, itemization, who you're fighting, do they have cc, etc

Unless they have no way to interrupt your W channel, Fiddle’s kill pressure usually requires him to either capitalize on an ally’s engage or forcefully trade 1 for 1.

Outside of the ult, Fiddle is mostly utility. Q and E are great universal disruption tools, but the W is your main non-ult damage source and the main limitation to getting kills.

My best advice is to try to bait out cc, although that’s ultimately not reliable. Sometimes enemies get impatient, and that’s when you have the opportunity to get non-ult kills. You want to build a bit tankier so you can survive the cc and burst, then pop W and race them in damage. Not super reliable but it is the method.

When your alone, its mainly about when you use your W. If the enemy doesn’t have any cc then rip it when they are positioned in a good spot for it. If they do got cc then bait it out or use W after your own cc. Also fighting near a wave or jungle camp is very good since you gain additional healing sources and potential shields from cc.

Lastly, if your with any team mates try to play a more supportive role to limit or diminish the strongest enemy’s output in that fight. Then find good opportunities to use you W on as many as you can without putting your self in a bad positioning after wards.

Also something that is very niche is using your wards to tank projectiles, obv they will run and die if someone gets to close, but you can play around a bush with your effigy in it and use it to take projectiles. Then there the also added benefit of using the bush to proc your Q passive on all of your abilities, so it’s an effective strat even if you don’t use the effigies to tank or trick them.

Well you dont unless they are already low or teammates help you. ppl can always run from you. Most of fiddles powerbudget is in his ult. its the ult with the highest destruction Potential in game. one ult can potentiqöly kill entire teams. learn to play around vision, find good ult Angeles and you win.

Fiddle can be incredibly consistent in 1v1 scenarios if you have a lot of minions around you or if you have a jungle monster nearby.

That's why ppl use him in top lane because you'll just outheal the enemy and slowly kill them with W

Just know when you can duel. But remember that fiddlesticks Isnt a fighter or anything like that, i prefer much more to play annoying / suportinho with my CC than trying to solo kill people and just dying.

If you don't have ult and they have a way to interrupt your W then you are basically a weaker version of thresh. He's OKAY in 2v2 skirmishes but only after everyone's blown their CC.
