So he was already a master tier player. He then made a FRESH account to reset the people hed be playing against and, shocker, the master tier player stomped ranked as a heavy carry midlane before finishing it by swapping to top to get the last push to grand master eh?.....so....a Master tier player...moved to grand master...cool?
There was a time shortly after Fiddle's rework, it became viable in top lane (with its visage+frozen heart aftershock 'tank' build), but then Riot decided to nerf it a patch later by lowering its healing gained from minions.
@@Elobama6969 i dont remember much, but i remember abusing grasp, i proc grasp too many times. i probably go AP/HP and some offtank. sorry for slight misinformation.
I remember there was a Fiddle OTP who was featured on the challenger replays yt who played a few fiddlesticks top, mid, supp, and even a bot lane carry game, I believe it was this madlad! I admittedly check the bot lane carry playlist now and then to see all the weird off-meta picks they have so I can watch them and see how even challengers play use oddball picks to their advantage, and I think I want to go back and watch the fiddlesticks bot lane vods, cuz he made it look powerful with how he played!
My mistake yes need LVL 2! If I said you need a bush to silence someone then it was an accident, likely just that you need a bush/lack of vision to fear them with it 👍
I have been a pretty good friend of his for the past 2½ years and I am absolutely dumbfounded how much he's done and how much he will do on a champion he picked up less than a year ago. Truly inspiring.
Dammit! As a fiddle top main, I wanted to see if I could take it to masters and have HappyChimeNoises make a vid on me but someone beat me to it. I'm super close too at Silver 2 lmao XD
The names these people use always make me giggle, my guy said yeah lemme pick top fiddle im feeling a little freeky tonight, and in a week his new name is Topplesticks
The main thing to notice that he played this game for YEARS, he got combinations of muptiple roles playing and hit great roles before, you wont became grand master just because you peek fiddle top, but you will if you keep trying and getting experience in game, grind if you want grinding, and push yourself up to face more greatest enemies for your own competitive will, good luck!
When I picked up Fiddle Top a while ago and game theorize the crap out of it I was expecting this kind of video to be made at some point :D One thing I'd very much like to add is Fiddles insane matchup chart on toplane that you get through the diversity of being able to start with all 3 spells depending on matchup and also put points into e or w first. With 3 points in e before maxing w and comet you hard bully champs out of the lane that either outdamage your heal or have too much cc for you to deal with in close range. And everyone else you just beat by maxing w. The only losing matchups I'd count as such are Cho'Gath, Volibear and the occasional rare Sejuani Top. Cho has way too much cc and you stand still during your e animation for too long to poke, he will land his q when he expects your E, Voli can push Fiddle into tower and dive him with ult for free fearing him resets his q cooldown so its kinda pointless, Seju will do the same, is immune to your fear and has a better gap closer and too much cc for you to contest. Everyone else you beat by changing your skill order and item builds, or go even with.
@@Sylvine I've tried that to stop sion ult before but the effigy takes a bit to be physically there after being placed, you sadly cannot use it on reaction.
I used to love Tank fiddle mid specially vs assassins, still sometimes play it with a bit of ap with Demonic, but i enjoy seeing what other adaptations people do with Mid/topelsticks
Couple errors: - lvl 1 E does not give cc/fear from bushes as u need your Q passive - it's never a good idea to take the full fiddle W lmao. He still gets the cdr so long as he doesn't cancel it himself
Thanks so much for w-! Lel Awesome stuff as always, I have been appreciating fiddle more thanks to arena, lately. I might give this a try when I get back to summoner's rift ans possibly ruin someone's day
Another tip i have for midlane fiddle is to think about using Predator, as it allows you to gank top or bot with more consistency before reaching leve 6, also allowing you to help in teamfights if your ultimate is down
I kept on trying this as a new way to play toplane as a Yorick main, and it was a lot of fun to try it out. Because you can easily get away of a champ who is harassing you like Illaoi.
This is impressive, but not unheard of. I THINK it was Doublelift who did this alot in the LCS. You'd basically rush Frozen Heart if you were against AD or Visage if you were against AP. The thing is that Fiddle Mid/Top at this point didn't usually WIN lane, but it was almost impossible to LOSE lane. Unless you were a complete dummy the worst you could do was going even. It was an awesome build that got nerfed when Riot tweaked his healing numbers. Cool to see that it's back.
It would take me more than 13 days just to get to level 30 😂 I also remember playing against this in top lane when fiddle was reworked. The sustain could be quite hard to deal with.
I use fiddle top before , rune was either first strike or press the attack and the main things u need is pressence of mind. With first strike u go cull first item for maximum gold gain and with press the attack u go either ring or black seal for ap. Pressence of mind is activated after 3 AA to enemy and then you start harassing enemy after 3 AA they wont really had a chance in early so be sure to get a kill as much as u can
People should try fidd support, the bot lane doest expect fidd to be usefull but with the q and e you have great cc. His dmg his nuts too, if you get a kill buy dark seal and you will be winning most objective with his ult. Its a great off meta pick in the bot lane
I'm a masters top laner and have seen this pick once or twice. Can confirm it is absolute cancer to play against. This should be in high S-tier, this pick is way more legit than things like AP Sej or toplane Ashe. It actually doesn't feel like this pick has any notable weaknesses outside of obviously being auto-loss into Aatrox. Fiddle's main weakness (being completely dead-weight pre6) is completely absent since he's a great lane bully in top.
if most of the team is low mobility champions ie not a lot of dashs consider reylais second affter a big dps item like lysanderys, it can make a lot of midgame fights really hard on them ignore if they have good dashes you wont find the same value then.
Ive been playing alot of fidd support rn, im getting close to plat with a 100% wr so far on him. I bet its gonna be bad the more I climb but for low elo like this its super strong
No shade but just wanted to comment that I found it really funny how you described the tricks to extend Fiddle's range as "new" when I can remember practicing them as far back as late S11/preseason 12 because they're just "what you do" if you play Fiddle lol *And I didn't even play Fiddle, I just wanted to learn how it was played*
I've played Fiddletop so many times almost 6 months ago. It was such a viable pick and I would only get flamed so harm by picking it. I hoped to get Diamond or Master with it but League just gets super boring and I never put in the effort later on.
Iv played fiddle top for probably a total of 100-150 games, and it was too broken for my like. Never really get below 50% HP, huge damage, CC. It just made top lane too easy. And I never felt like I had to work to win mt lane. So I dropped it. But I might go back to it.
I’ve been wanting to play fiddle more because I think he just looks cool af but I just feel like there’s way better champs for jng, I’m gonna try him out in top and see how I like it
At least its not the aftershock tank build that was so annoying and I also played it back during the start of rework xD it was super good counter to wukong with frozen heart first before lvl 6
im 5mln fiddlestick, im playing it everywhere and highest ive been was diamond 1 in 2 weeks on 25fps, 15 max during tf (i tried only 1 smurf acc, my main acc is hardstuck emerald) IMO biggest counter is Garen, cause his q cleans ur fear... and u cant stop his splitpush mid/lategame aswell. Also Aatrox and Darius are strong ( i recommend to max q 2-3 times so they wont kill you, same against riven). These runes are the best ive found so far aswell. All info in this video are accurate (maybe not about illaoi being easy matchup). BTW risen fiddle gives you sound of oracle, and praetorian gives u graphics so ur allies can be sure the area is clean. There are few more tricks but i dont want to spoil it, but the 1 and most important is included in the video, but i wont point it to non-fiddle players :P GL
Hey, do you know who Bardinette is ? The guy is a beast, he usually plays in master EUW but has peaked GM by playing Bard top and completely abandoning his lane to roam, he's pretty fun also !
I do! I enjoy his stream :) I did a bard top in the past and although he has improved the strat a lot since then it perhaps is not quite enough for a full video. But I do recommend him!
Can you do a video about Sona please? I started to main her and nobody explains anything about her besides her abilities or the basics. I would love a video of yours about Sona because you can explain really good!! Thx
The people I have played in soloqueue must have seen this video and also been first time fiddlesticks. I have played against it a few times in the last couple days and stomped it.
My brother started to play fiddle top and asked me about match ups Few games later he found out that fiddle is perfect jax counter Many match ups are easily won just getting by

That build was kinda nuts, since it turned him into Maokai with crap ton of dmg.
I wonder if he would have been OP with it 😂
Lane fiddle is fun I hope they keep him
I still Play Tank fidlle top
ye i remember playing this, at lvl 5 with w in minions + enemy champion you were healing for 50% of hp
I used to love to play it. Was super fun
i just love it when the featured player has things like a powerpoint presentation to demonstrate the pick, really presses my buttons
I’m a toplaner and I’ve played against this once. The feeling of trying to engage or all in only to get point and click feared is epically frustrating
i was playing tank fiddle and the windshitter fed me, after that enemy team had a desperate match

@@Elobama6969 i dont remember much, but i remember abusing grasp, i proc grasp too many times. i probably go AP/HP and some offtank.

I actually main Fiddle for about a year and a half now but this actually shows me a lot of tips I have never known for fiddle
Not really a main if you don't know the advanced stuff of a champion tbh
Did this guy just start playing in the last year or two. Early fiddle was nastiest top with the bouncing silence. And middlesticks worked well also
I kept on trying this as a new way to play toplane as a Yorick main, and it was a lot of fun to try it out. Because you can easily get away of a champ who is harassing you like Illaoi.
Update: Cabex just got challenger (oficially) a few hours ago
dude it's awesome how often you upload quality videos
Thank you! Since January I got and editor and he really helps. Quality has hopefully improved even :)
13:29 good outro
Oops
i don't play Fiddle, and I probably still won't, but this video is very well-made and insightful
Oh is this video why I saw THREE Fiddlesticks top lane this morning?? Lol
thx man, 4 fiddl top players faced today, all went 0/20 in lane, great free lp

Let's go, a video about fiddle top, i never played him top since his rework
I would do this pick as a joke every once in a while but always ended up winning my games with it. Funny to see someone got GM with it
Ffs I love the idea of this channel and the following execution it's just perfect
What a piece of advertisement haha, awesome work! ❤
So happy to see Fids top is back 🙏
Rat is a super insane fiddle player
Some great 5D Chess with the ad :D Going to different rooms in the ikea is the best way to max out without spending money :D
Honestly did people forget that tank frozen heart fiddle was a meta pick for a long time in s9. Not surprised that it still works
It would take me more than 13 days just to get to level 30 😂
I also remember playing against this in top lane when fiddle was reworked. The sustain could be quite hard to deal with.
used to love rushing dragon with a blue elixir at level 2.
nobody ever saw it coming
an sponsor that i actually not skipped
the ad was funny af. love ur vids!
great video as always brotha, but pls add the jax bot lane in the tier list as it is one of the best I've found.

dope idea
Actually where can I find this rating table here 11:32, it always get changed and I can't follow up
0:15 i feel like the amount of time spent on a champ doesnt matter anymore, as long as you have good game iq and knpw what the champ can do.
Chimes should make a few videos to arena combos that are off meta and interesting... please :)
Does ur like mean ur gonna do it?
I hope so but depends on how the meta evolves :)
Wouldn't want to make a video and the picks become nerfed immediately before it's uploaded
ah thats why I faced a fiddle top in my ranked game hope I see more :)
no fucking way, i was playing this pick too, its like u read my mind
Great video 🫶 Thank you
Leveling E level 1 doesn't give you a CC if you use it from the bush, unless you mean the silence which doesn't hinge on you been seen or not.
I've played Fiddletop so many times almost 6 months ago. It was such a viable pick and I would only get flamed so harm by picking it. I hoped to get Diamond or Master with it but League just gets super boring and I never put in the effort later on.

Correction: Fiddlesticks E doesn't give a CC at lvl 1 because the CC comes from the Q passive.
E cc out of bush is only applied when he already leveled Q. Its the Q passive

I thought I was the only one I’m so happy to see this video

If i climb with seju top lane to masters, does it count as off meta or is it still meta?
If you play tank then it is meta
I think it's off meta but either way - if it's fun then play it. Don't need other people to consider it meta or off meta for it to be good 👍
