Ok, just want to know what you guys think.

Is Fiddlesticks just built to be the best jungler without smite?

So far i haven't seen any other champion jungle with SUCH ease.

I can jungle him with Doran's Ring as first item, without starting at golem and without smite all at the same time ;D
He's a pretty good jungler. The problem is that his ganking is very bad before lvl6.

I think Nunu is just as good.
"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.

I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817

No, no, no, no, no.

The definition of "best jungler" is NOT purely based on speed. That's a complete fallacy.

Karthus is one of the fastest, if not the fastest junglers in the game, especially if he starts with a blue pot and full ability power runes. But nobody ever does this. Malzahar could take down the Dragon in less than 4 seconds at level 4 before Dragon and Baron were buffed - yet nobody did. Why? Jungle speed isn't about everything.

What determines a good jungler is the following criteria:

-Speed (again, this is just one of the criteria)
-Health level while jungling
-Ganking ability (this one is huge)
-Sustainability
-Flexibility to different routes
-Vulnerability to counter-jungling
-Ability to counter-jungle
-Ganks dependent on skills

Shaco is one of the best jungles in the game because he can clear red extremely fast, counter-jungle effectively, and gank at level 2 with only JitB, red buff, and Deceive. Nunu is one of the best because he can counter-jungle so well, start with just about any item, start at numerous camps, and have a permanent increased movement speed buff on two people as well as a permanent slow.

Fiddlesticks may be a fast jungle, but he's incredibly dependent on blue buff. If they gank him there, he's basically screwed. If they counter-jungle him, he's screwed. He's the slowest character in the game and has little crowd control compared to the likes of Udyr, Amumu, and Rammus. He doesn't do that much damage either outside of the jungle.

And even if you were to jungle with him, always take Smite.

0_0, ok i get what you are saying but i don't get the always take smite part, i find it a rather useless skill on fiddle as i'd rather have speed+flash or slow+flash then smite(basicly useless at lvl 12+, especially on champion fights) and fiddle's rather quick jungling without it.
Another reason i don't take smite is merely for this reason: Why would i give away that i'm going to jungle when i don't need smite, seems kind of stupid.

Do you like getting dragon? Do you like getting Baron? It's easy to function purely off of flash.
