With 1 stun/silence you rarely get to run away as he is rather squishy with pure mage.
What build are you guys suggesting then?

Rod of ages and Abyssal Scepter make him incredibly stronger than he would normally be.

When I play him, I usually just go dorans -> boots 1 -> rod of ages -> mercs -> negatron -> blasting wand -> needless -> abyssal scepter -> zhonyas

gives him good survivability with high damage

He got the strongest aoe spell in the game?

He got aoe silence and a strong CC!

I guess that's main problem about fiddle, he sucks in solo queue, without proper timing and position he's useless...

On the contrary I've yet to lose a solo queue game as Fiddles since it's really hard to NOT get fed as him. Most people really underestimate him in Solo Queue, especially ap squishies like Lux.

Fiddlesticks is sort of a lack luster mage champion because he needs to channel his ultimate to get going and he needs to channel his drain to do any damage. 1v1 he's one of the strongest mages in the game, but otherwise he can't nuke very well.

He's actually nothing special in 1v1 either. His only powerful 1v1 spell is drain, but he's stuck while doing so. Your enemy can just easily run away while you try to kill him. Fiddles is baaaad without teammates helping him.

Never said underpowered, i said he sucked in my opinion for the reason that he has a weird hotkeys lay-out which is unlike any other champion thus disrupting coördination for people who play others and not him from the beginning.
Besides that, the fact that people easily get away or stop you if you are in a solo queu without high CC teamwork is very disturbing.
I, and apparently more people, think that fiddle is not very usefull in solo queu's.
Coming in here and flaming, what a ******** are you guys talking about is called having no respect for an other persons opinion, next time just say, i don't agree with you as his ultimate is the strongest non static aoe and he has a aoe silence aswell, besides that he as a strong CC.

I respect ur opinion, but i think it is wrong to say: he sucks becouse he got wierd hotkeys.

I don't do solo ranked, but i do solo normal games sometime, and when i pick fiddle, i have no problems getting a ult off, it maybe not is perfect, but it does the freagging job.

Just becouse i have another opinion than you doesn't mean i don't respect ur opinion, and yes it is ******** to say a hero sucks becouse the hotkeys are wierd for you, sorry to break it for ya...

It was not my intention to ***ult you personal, i just felt there was so much negative talk on one of my favorite champs so maybe i over did it, but i can't stand here when u make it look like i jumped on you.

If the above made no sense, let me summ it upp for you.

1. U can't say a champion suck becouse of wierd hotkeys, that is ********! (it is wierd that he has weird hotkeys)

2. He doesn't suck in solo qeue, he maybe won't pull of perfect ults, but they get the job done! (espacially pared with ghost and flash)

3. I posted that statement becouse all of u made fiddle look like more or less a worthless champ, i felt like i had to slap ALL of u in the face!

4. If u say he suck, i respect that, but only if u respect that i think ur arguments is ********? makes sense?

5. U made this personal, not me!

Coming from a 1400's Ranked Elo Player, I've seen quite a lot of Fiddlesticks. I won't say that I've seen the MLG-est of Fiddle players, but I've seen fantastic Fiddle players on my team, and against me.

All I Can Say is This:

1) Good Fiddles will hide away from their team, ready to ult over a ledge and wreak havoc upon the enemy team. You have to get the flank, and get the element of surprise. No, scratch that, you just need the element of surprise. Just don't make your ult visible. Use your Flash to catch up on ground if you want.

An Example of this Working:

Enemy Team Comrade #1: Yeah guys, we've got this!

Enemy Team Comrade #2 : /all GG GUYS!

You: CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW CAW

You: /all ALL I CAN HEAR IS PENTUH KILL ><

2) In solo queue, Fiddle is fine. He can jungle, he can lane. He's strong in both areas, so why is he bad? Fiddle is a playmaker. He makes plays for his team, and he can easily change the momentum of a team fight.

3)Don't QQ about his hot-keys. Just don't. Change them or get used to them. (:

As i said before and ill say it again, it is not ******** to say that fiddle sucks in solo queue in my opinion because of those reasons as it is my own opinion, disrespectfull is that you call my opinion ********.

@ xaioli:

Also i don't qq about his hotkeys, i just find it akwardly stupid to do the same layout for all champions but make HIS and HIS alone so very different,having to change your own setup for 1 champion just to play decently with it and then having to change it back is to much trouble imo for fiddle to be worth it.
*i can learn how to play with those keys, not the big issue, just stating that it is akwardly stupid*

Besides that i said somehow with me they smell it when i use ulti, im in brush, no wards or anything of the kind, no enemy players that could've spotted me and they still run away with badass timing *halfway to my skill while there is no reason for them to be wary yet as i've only been missing like 6 seconds*.
Sometimes they even manage to stun the milisecond i warp in with the ultimate and already am casting *animation suggests it at least* fear.

My post was clearly asking who else have encountered these situations and any suggestions other then change the hotkeys, not wether anyone thinks he is underpowered or that he sucks in general which he does not.
