(Patch 8.5)
Hi; I don't usually leave comments or rate, because most of the builds I find never fit my playstyle, the morons I get for teammates or the gods-amongst-humans in the enemy team that stop my team in normals (not even high elo ranked).

Dropped by to rate + and Fave your build, as it worked wonders for me. I seldom to never jungle, because I fall behind and suck at ganking (not just because people are pushing and dying before I even exit the jungle), however I got a 11/3/6 score with this build, 30 minutes of gameplay, 146 minions, 12.765 gold (S-). Didn't even get to full build. Total damage output was 20k, same value for Healing done.

In case anyone wants to give this a try, I highly recommend it. It didn't take a lot of tries for me, but don't be discouraged if it doesn't work for you at the first try.

Hey there, thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed playing Fiddle :) 'tis a really niche and fun playstyle. Hope you keep giving him a go, who knows you might find some other weird ways to play him!

Really good guide, I'll definitely use this when I go Junglesticks

E is your main source of damage and clear, why max it last? You put 2 points in terrify, 2 points in W and rest in E. When ganking someone, E bounces 3 times on them while you W and you do more damage. Also, maxing W and Q first will get you behind in farm. I use 3x 2% XP runes and max E, hitting lvl 6 at 5:50.

Cheers for the comment :) The XP runes is quite niche and yeah have tried it but making it easier to learn. Also no point in trying to explain that as due to around 2 months the runes will be completely changed and I don't believe XP runes will be there anyway :(
In addition, the ability skills was made well before the E buffs and forgot to change them (as forget about this guide unless someone comments on it, surprised it got so many views). Not going to say I am perfect as I am far from the best lol player, so cheers for the advice friend :)

I just want to add that untargetable heroes upon ulti (Zed, Kayn) will still be drained if u casted it BEFORE they cast their ulti. Dont know if this also applies to master yi(Q) and Xayah(ulti).

Hi, another thought for the main fiddlers. Do you always finish the jungle item? I feel like getting only the first ingredient so I don't miss out on XP, but then I skip the rest of the item most of the time because I don't want to spend money on some cheap item which I will need to sell later on.

Yeah, i really like Runic Echoes (sure going other items might be better), but Fiddle is super mana hungry in the Jungle and the Runic Echo passive of "Hitting a Large Monster with this effect will restore 18% of your missing mana." Helps you stay in the jungle and also keeps you ready to gank (so you dont have to be super on the ball with mana management)

Hmm good point. Especially with the latest updates to getting insta cooldown reduction on drain, your mana can go really really fast. Also the smite on champs gives that give away or chase opportunity in some games

Hi, I wonder if any of you main fiddle players have tried to hold off building Zhonya until late game. Most of the time I can't get it on my first b, so I'm stuck with buying half of it if I want to rush Zhonya. Ever since Zhonya is partly made of the codex instead of needlessly large rod (quite some patches ago already), I feel like I am missing early damage when I rush Zhonya.

What are your comments on that? Could it be better to rush jungler item or void staff or necronomicon or even rabadons or rylais?

I personally do not call myself much of a fiddle main (mostly play ADC nowadays, but I wrote this guide a while back due to there not really being any updated ones, did not expect it to blow up so much) But yeah I personally do not rush Zhonyas, as I really like the utility and stats that Protobelt gives (Cooldown, and a small chase) - but since the Jungle change (from runeglaive to runic echoes) going straight for the Jungle item gives you AP and nice movement speed for it (Whenever I play fiddle i always finish off the jungle item), then with Zhonyas generally I check the enemy team, but most of the time I build codex first before Armguard as Fiddle really likes cooldown reduction to actively be ulting throughout the game. (Why choice of Lucidity boots is an option, to get that really early CDr, but Sorce boots for the early and late stronger damage and the mobility boots just to be able to run faster and actively gank around)

Hi Grumpy, the range of drain is big enough so the dragon won't knock you away

Thanks for the comment, although you are right it is just a heads up (might clarify it a bit more), but that is if you are standing outside of the pit, majority of the time, or quite a lot of the times, you might need to go inside the pit before starting dragon (either to de-ward or if you want to wait at the back of the pit to make it less obvious that you are taking dragon) - anyway thanks for the comment :)

great build

Greetings. Would it be possible for you to update the guide with your choice of masteries? (yes I have seen your recommendations but they do not encompass much past keystones)
Thanks!

Apologies, just came back from month long holiday - i did set up the masteries previously but Mobafire must of changed something / when lol removed some masteries and mobafire removed them on here, the masteries must of reset. but have fixed that

Thank you for the update!

I like the part when I played Fiddlesticks and won.

I really liked this guide; had constructive info + as others stated; screenshots showing positioning which is the biggest key to success as Fiddle

Thumbs up from a fellow Fiddle main +1
