I really enjoyed making this video and hope it helps you guys climb on FIddlesticks! GL in the ranked season everyone! By the way I forgot to mention it but the clip of the Fiddlesticks dying level 3 is not me, it was someone I was coaching 😅.
as a 1 million xp fiddle on supp (yes really) I do appreciate this video as I am roaming a lot and understanding my champs original role helps me to adapt him and use him in the best way for my team.
I know this comment is really old, but liandry fiddle was a thing and it ate tanks alive back then. You didn’t need protobelt to oneshot squishies it just made it easier. Especially since there is also mechanics like W flash and e instantly after ult.
After watching this vid I see why I have struggled playing Fiddlesticks. I am a Rammus main so it makes sense. Primarily because Rammus is very much a run hard and fast champion that can take a hit. Fiddlesticks on the other hand is the quiet patient ambusher. I appreciate your insight sir and will put it to good use. Thanks.
I just picked up league again (technically, wild rift) and i was immediately drawn to fiddlesticks. I'm obsessed with his design and lore but I suck at playing him. Thanks for making this video, hopefully it helps me suck less!
So I've recently started maining Fidd in the jungle and developed a sort of degenerate strategy. I found that with a bot leash, you can fairly consistently get both scuttle crabs if you save your second smite. You can also delay your first recall for a second full clear and ganks and you'll be able to afford a dark seal plus Sorc shoes with money left over for a control ward. It's not optimal but it's gotten me an ok winrate so far
Hey kingfidd, do you know if enemies can see the little omen thing above their heads when fiddlesticks is ulting? I’ve wondered for a while now but they don’t seem to react since it’s a very subtle cue unlike sion R
The fact that you can’t fear enemies with r if you’re disguised as an effigy in vision unlike his other abilities is criminal. The effigies even fake an ultimate sometimes when enemies reveal them, and yet the r channel pulls you out of passive so it doesn’t fear like your other ones :(
Will fiddles ult fear if he wasn’t in vision during his ult channel, but has to walk for a few seconds before an enemy is in range? Would that count as using the ability “not in vision or out of combat” or do they have to be in range for the first tick to get feared?
There's a few situations that can happen with Fiddlesticks ult. 1) You ult out of vision and when you appear the enemy is in your ult. This is what you want to happen and they will immediately be feared as you arrive. 2) You ult out of vision and when you appear no one is inside your ult and you are now in vision. If you walk forward your ult will not fear. (Note: sometimes if you barely miss and walk forward a tad to hit you will fear if the game hasn't updated your vision status yet though.) 3) You ult out of vision and when you appear you are still out of vision. (You ult into a bush) Anyone who gets hit by your R while you are still out of vision in the bush gets feared.
@@kingfidd I like blue because it kind of behaves like fiddlesticks old passive and makes R ing from bushes easier to stay on top of people if you don’t have rocket belt(?)
hi, i have a question. at 7:48 u have a rod and a blighting jewel, I want to know why u chose those item components as opposed to completing the items. (im a gold 3 fiddlesticks one trick trying to get better)
I don't like Anathema's on Fiddlesticks. If you have someone you really need to CC and lock down, try asking someone else to buy it if you have a tank top or tank support. If you are playing Fiddlesticks top and need to deal with a split pusher it could be good, otherwise get someone else to buy it.
Hii king fidd, I have question about the pet choice ~ I just picked up fiddle for the first time and OPGG told me to pick blue pet but is it good/correct choice for fiddle? Which jungle pet item do you always buy? Has there been any situations you bought green pet for example? Tank fiddle or smth idk. Hope you understand my question and hope you reply :)
I noticed in my games I often have a decent early to mid game (3/0/2 for example )but then cant kill targets anymore or start dying more and more. I think it has to do with the end of the laning phase when everyone starts roaming randomly across the map and I could run into someone at any moment. :( Also regarding items it feels kinda boring. T2 boots, rocketbelt are basically must haves. After that you can go for HG but regarding dmg that doesnt work too well. Aside of that, Voidstaff when they start getting MR. Additional damage items wouild be DC, Horizon Focus and Shadowflame. Testing in practise tool showed little difference against tanky targets but against squishies HF+DC does a lot. Technically I like Cosmic drive, but cant really find a time to buy it. I know there's defensive options too (banshee, rylais, morello etc) but I usually just want cdr, mpen and as much dps as possible.
It depends. Star Nemesis is good for cosmically destroying enemies, Praetorian for maximum fear effect, or Surprise Party for a little bit of trolling.
If you time it right, ult + w + flash for multi target fear and drain. The w extends q fear passive to fear everything that is in w vicinity after flashing. It’s niche, but does a lot of damage and catches a lot of people off guard.
It sounds like his effigy ability is pretty weak and doesn't really work with his actual abilities. Especially since a jungler needs to move around probably the most out of all other characters.

with fidd you have to know how to use your position in fog of war to catch some enemies. And fidd is one of those champs that cant beat thanks champs.
ah yes, my beloved thanks champions such as Braum and Taric, truly thanks champions of all times
nerf thanks champs
What? I can beat tanks as fiddle top 😂

Glad this helped, Fiddle's playstyle is very different from other jgs for sure
@@kingfidd
Yeah. I recently got Mastery 6 on Kha'Zix. I think a similar attitude applies to both champs. Just the bug man has better evasion. lol
If you’re emoting, it counts as pretending to be an effigy. I’ve gotten some cheesy kills this way as fiddle support
The secret tech 👀
so if you're still suspecting you're in vision, just stop moving for a couple seconds and then ult in?
Yes
Really good video and great tips and tricks. Even though I would consider myself as a fiddle otp I learned something! thank you king fidd :D
Happy to hear that!
I just picked up league again (technically, wild rift) and i was immediately drawn to fiddlesticks. I'm obsessed with his design and lore but I suck at playing him. Thanks for making this video, hopefully it helps me suck less!
Just got m7 on Fiddle and I think I'm gonna main him so I'll be watching your videos
❤️
BABE WAKE UP KING FIDD DROPED
Let's goo my fav Fiddle main!
😉
Thanks that was a really informative and useful video. More of them if u enjoy doing them we would rly appreciate it

Really enjoy the content so far bud, keep it up. Thx for the tips. An sorry for being the off meta supp😂😂
Bro i miss the old Fiddle mecanics like the crows, i mastered Fiddle as support before his updated XD
Hey kingfidd, do you know if enemies can see the little omen thing above their heads when fiddlesticks is ulting? I’ve wondered for a while now but they don’t seem to react since it’s a very subtle cue unlike sion R
No, only fiddlesticks can see it
What do you mean?

Fiddle Mid would be a good video to make on.
Will fiddles ult fear if he wasn’t in vision during his ult channel, but has to walk for a few seconds before an enemy is in range? Would that count as using the ability “not in vision or out of combat” or do they have to be in range for the first tick to get feared?

3) You ult out of vision and when you appear you are still out of vision. (You ult into a bush) Anyone who gets hit by your R while you are still out of vision in the bush gets feared.
What would be the scenarios where you want to get either red or blue pet? I saw you had a green pet on one of the clips, too. Thanks!
I just go red every game now green pet got nerfed lol
@@kingfidd Thanks
@@kingfidd I like blue because it kind of behaves like fiddlesticks old passive and makes R ing from bushes easier to stay on top of people if you don’t have rocket belt(?)
what should we do first now that future's market is gone?
hi, i have a question. at 7:48 u have a rod and a blighting jewel, I want to know why u chose those item components as opposed to completing the items. (im a gold 3 fiddlesticks one trick trying to get better)
I was going to go shadowflame but then I saw they had begun stacking a ton of MR so I was pivoting to void staff.
@@kingfidd thank you! :D
great video :)
What do you think about hexflash?
Hexflash can be good to be aggressive early and reposition ult but I don't like it that much
is there anytime athema chains is a buy on fiddle
I don't like Anathema's on Fiddlesticks. If you have someone you really need to CC and lock down, try asking someone else to buy it if you have a tank top or tank support. If you are playing Fiddlesticks top and need to deal with a split pusher it could be good, otherwise get someone else to buy it.
can you please do a liandry's gameplay tutorial and explain how it differs from rocketbelt?
No I never use liandry's
Hii king fidd, I have question about the pet choice ~
I just picked up fiddle for the first time and OPGG told me to pick blue pet but is it good/correct choice for fiddle?
Which jungle pet item do you always buy? Has there been any situations you bought green pet for example? Tank fiddle or smth idk.
Hope you understand my question and hope you reply :)
I have been going red pet every game, I dont get much use out of blue pet imo and green pet is nerfed. Don't go tank fiddle
Is the red mascot better than the blue one on Fiddle?
It can be preference but I prefer red, I hardly get use out of blue since I am usually in the right spot to R.
@@kingfidd the poinjt is since you ult out of the brush it also gives you ms after you ulted.
hi, im new to the game, would you have an arsenal for fiddlesticks that i can use?
Not sure what you mean by arsenal
I noticed in my games I often have a decent early to mid game (3/0/2 for example )but then cant kill targets anymore or start dying more and more. I think it has to do with the end of the laning phase when everyone starts roaming randomly across the map and I could run into someone at any moment. :(
Also regarding items it feels kinda boring. T2 boots, rocketbelt are basically must haves. After that you can go for HG but regarding dmg that doesnt work too well. Aside of that, Voidstaff when they start getting MR. Additional damage items wouild be DC, Horizon Focus and Shadowflame. Testing in practise tool showed little difference against tanky targets but against squishies HF+DC does a lot. Technically I like Cosmic drive, but cant really find a time to buy it. I know there's defensive options too (banshee, rylais, morello etc) but I usually just want cdr, mpen and as much dps as possible.
Late game you should just hover team mates and not face check anything by yourself.
If they have too many tanks just go liandryss
Sry but what is HG, DC and HF?
Also what i found working is cross mapping like he ganks bot herald gone, shows top invade on bot so u just get so far in farm he cant come back
@@HyeonsikLi HourGlass, Deathcap, HorizonFocus
What’s the best fiddle skin? I must know because skin diff is a real thing
It depends. Star Nemesis is good for cosmically destroying enemies, Praetorian for maximum fear effect, or Surprise Party for a little bit of trolling.
Fiddle me Timbers because I love pirates but I can’t for the life of me play Gangplank
Default
You didnt talk about the ult + e bug: you can ult then cast e, the e will fear even if its outside of ult range, pretty insane tbh
not a bug
If you time it right, ult + w + flash for multi target fear and drain. The w extends q fear passive to fear everything that is in w vicinity after flashing. It’s niche, but does a lot of damage and catches a lot of people off guard.
It sounds like his effigy ability is pretty weak and doesn't really work with his actual abilities. Especially since a jungler needs to move around probably the most out of all other characters.
This has nothing do do with the video but ur voice sounds like Joaqin Phoenix in The joker
😏Hahaha... don't worry about it
Honestly I wish there was some tooltip for Fiddle fear
🕺💃
Maokai Mains takin notes :,(
play crittlesticks you coward
next upload I see better be Navori Fiddle
That power is too great for me
Can you add a crit fiddle build plz?
@@kingfidd crit items just got buffed....
