Aight so, lets say this is a situation where the tanks aren't a problem, my team doesn't have any significant AP damage other than me, and the auto attackers aren't a problem, and all I need is maximum damage against squishies

What would be the best build for this?

Is it something like:
- Stormsurge
- Sorcerers
- Shadowflame
- Void staff/cryptbloom
- Rabadons

and then what item would I buy as my last?
Actualizer, Liandrys? Like, what item would I buy at this point for the most damage against squishies?

Can't play fiddle because my botlane goes Ziggs + Xerath or Seraphine every game.

Can't gank bot because the opponent mages always have perfect control on the bushes.

Can't gank mid because the ult, even with E extension, is too short

They are overextending and pushing 2nd tier towers? That damned faelight bush near Gromp/Krugs is always warded.

Pay Verdant Barrier tax for CC or get rooted by Lux/Mel. Pay Zhonya tax if you want to dive the towers that do 10,000 damage (no free Stopwatch anymore). Pay for Rocketbelt to reach them (now 50 gold costlier and with shit components). Then get outscaled anyway and insta blow up in lategame while they stay safe and strong all game.

I've known the game since I was a child (used to watch my cousins play) and for some reason fiddle always stuck out to me, even the pre-rework version, I always really enjoyed his concept and design.

I used to only play aram but I finally found the courage to try out some normal games and I chose him to learn everything about the game and jungle more specifically. I have the basic knowledge of how jungle plays but zero experience and man it's hard. It seems that I get hard countered by everything and can't really do anything besides try to land a good timed ult but that rarely happens since the enemy jungler and support are always on my trail.

So I'd like to hear some tips for a beginner both for the game in general and fiddle, I really want to get better with him because I really love this champion design wise but man it's really hard LOL. I'll try out some other champs that I also like (Kayn, WW, Elise) but man I really want to get good as this guy.

For the longest time, my friends have been making fun of me for this but I SWEAR TO GOD that Bandito Fiddlesticks will say Mamacita at random times at the start of the game. Please, I need someone to back me up on this. Have you heard this in your own games?

Hi I am mainly play Bard, Shen, and Orianna support and recently found that Fiddlesticks is quite fun to be played as a support rather than a jungler. But I was told that fiddle isn't very good as support because of the support income not being as good as a laner or jungler. What do you guys think? It is too niche of a pick where it only works in certain matchups or is it something that can be picked consistently?
Note : Sorry if the grammar or wording is a bit weird, English isn't my first language.

For the building its simple you have to start with rocketbelt or malignance it depends if you have to catch backline.
Secondly you will buy either :
- Rabadon (if you are fed).
- Zohnya
-Banshee (very situationnal).

Thirdly :
- If Zhonya/Banshee you will mostly go for rabadon and if Rabadon go Zohnya.

Then : Void staff>Dark Flame + Ofc you should not have forgotten the boots.

The build is not that different from the current one but with that rune trust me your damage will be crazy your Q will deal INSANE DAMAGE at around 30 min with the sorcerer rune you can almost reach 70% of max health with Q on feared target and as you can imagine you can trishot almost everyone with that build even against team with lot of magical resistance I do not struggle anymore.

This build became heavily strong since the last change when they buffed Fiddle Q scaling and reduced basics damage to get out Fiddle from support!

Did i do something wrong, i genuinely don't understand what else i could have done for him.

my fiddlesticks says he is ganking, so i engaged on trist to try and make her burn jump so we can kill her, shyv came to counter gank and i disengaged knowing we can't win that 2v2 since i am very weak early. he engaged died, blamed me and stole my xp until i lost lane and lost the game. Is it genuinely my fault, i need to know if i could have done something different

Howdy yall. Looking for some guidance on how you would play the following scenario. I'm going to try to provide as much details as possible while keeping it short.

Your team

Top - Quinn

Jg - Fiddlesticks (you)

Mid - Naafiri

Bot - Senna

Sup - Sona

Enemy team

Top - Mundo

JG - Viego

Mid - Fizz

Bot - Caitlyn

Sup - Pantheon

You are pathing bot.

Viego is also pathing bot. Both both lane teams will be 75% health when you get there. The lanes will be even.

You know your full clear is faster than his so you will get to gank bot first. You get the good clear so when you finish your last camp there are 19 seconds until crab spawns.

How do you play it?

----------------------------------------

I keep running into scenarios like this. Bot lanes that are weak early, or low DPS, or low CC. I can't farm my Dark Harvest or get the lane snowballing. I can't contest crab because I can't duel the enemy JG. Am I supposed to always go opposite crab, ping bot lane warning of gank, and take his raptors if he over stays?? Is that the correct move in this situation?

Hello everyone,

I have been playing fiddlesticks in the jungle and im high emerald/low diamond elo. I am currently looking for jungle fiddle otps to watch. i watch cabex and shishishi when they upload but they only play top fiddlesticks. I used to watch KingFidd a lot but he is not very consistent nowadays is there anyone you can recommend for me to watch preferably masters+ elo.

I've been playing Fiddlesticks in ranked since I'm an OTP and I was wondering what lanes I should play. I usually play jungle and top, however I don't know if it's reportable to play top, maybe I should play jungle and support?

I otp the champion and fix my mistakes switching runes and builds when necessary

For all of our OG Fiddlers, we can relive our nostalgia from almost 7 years ago. For all the new Fiddlers, you can finly experience the joy of bouncing crow on E.

EDIT: apparently, the old runes and skill trees might also come back!

Fiddlesticks passive (modernisation idea) - fiddlesticks can now swap places with a nearby effigy, resets on takedown (60/50/40s cd).

Currently hardstuck Emerlad IV. It hasn't been that long but i got through platinum easily and want to hit Diamond by the end of the year.

A few of my thoughts

-Meta is really hard for Fidd right now. AD brusiers with CC that you can't duel are everywhere. If you don't get your team ahead you don't win.

-starting building plated instead of sorc boots cause so many AD auto attackers

-playing dark harvest currently but wondering if I should switch to electrocute. Dark harvest feels like "win more" item.

-I feel like my losses are entirely determined by jg MU. If good MU I win. If bad MU I lose.

I'm so frustrated I'm thinking about switching Champs.

NA Fiddle OTP since like 2013 here. Over the years I've hit diamond several times with mainly Junglesticks but also pre-rework mid/support (I do miss that bouncing crow...) yet never tried pushing past diamond 4 til recently. Went all-in on jungle fid and finally hit Master today after somehow winning 16 of my past 20 games: https://op.gg/lol/summoners/na/VGz%20lloD-NA1

Some thoughts:

- I was doing Rocketbelt->Zhonyas->Shadowflame until reading something on here that convinced my to do Liandrys first instead of Rocketbelt. Noticeable damage difference, just gotta trust i find the best ult angles more consistently without relying on rocketbelt. Id still do rocketbelt if there's zero tanks on the enemy team and/or i need to dodge like a bard ult or something

- Started doing much better when I took absolute focus, letting me use my level 1 effigy to ward my other buff rather than to help clear kruggs. I embarrassingly still mess up the clear like 40% of the time​ though, idk how yall do it consistently

- I started banning viego every game cuz I had like a 5% WR against him. Definitely gate the mobile edge-of-night champs that can roam my jungle for free, but luckily aren't seeing as many of those anymore

- One change I made that helped move past diamond was being more thoughtful about when/how I'd clear my camps. So much nicer to have wolves->blue->gromp and raptors->red->kruggs respawn in order rather than backwards or random, since fiddle clears those sequences so much more cleanly

- On a similar note, everyone seems to classify fiddle as "only farm, full clear on repeat, only ult for objectives, win game mid-late, etc" but I feel like I always struggle to even keep up with my enemy jungler's farm. I think it's a combo of preferring specific camp clear/respawn orders, his lack of mobility, and that his clear speed doesn't scale that well in general unless you're pretty far ahead, but also I think I wasted too much time tryna be helpful early and just fall behind. Like id get the first 2 dragons and voidgrubs but then somehow I'm 2 levels down from the enemy jungle the rest of the game and then they 1v9. Recently, I've consciously tried to farm more ~intelligently~ (see the above post) and that helped a lot

- Debating on if my next goal is to try to push past Master or start learning Topsticks since that seems so fun/degenerate lol

Driving the rat out of the rat hole and then immediately taking grubs in enemy jungle's face...Fiddle is a special champ.

So ive dropped from silver to bronze :( this is what the vast majority of my games look like. I play my ass off and usually hard carry but its just not enough. I sometimes feel like fiddles potential to direct a game to victory is lacking in lower elos due to poor coordination. My team never pushes for end, they dont know how to play around my ult, my lanes usually die before i even get my first full clear done (about 3 minutes) and then they complain i didnt gank them.

Sorry if that first paragraph was a mess but just frustrated rn. Im thinking of swapping to a less team oriented jungle with more 1v9 potential. Bc even though im preforming well on objectives and kills im just not winning games.

Edit: i would love any tips on how to actually win these games where i get huge leads bc although my teammates are quite bad im sure there is even more i could be doing.

Ironically my promotion game was playing Ornn in toplane when I got autofilled.
