Introduction
*As I have stated in my last Guide, this is meant to aid you as a player. Remember, it is up to your skill and ability to execute effectively in a match.

So, your build.
- Boots
-
Ionian Boots of Lucidity every time for CDR. These are better than
Sorcerer's Shoes because they are cheaper and lower you CDR on your Summoner Spells.
- Cooldown Reduction
- Your main items is going to be
Morellonomicon for cooldowns followed by
Zhonya's Hourglass. This will max you out on CDR with
Ionian Boots of Lucidity.
- Damage
- Basically everything you build is going to give you damage regardless. Part of what makes Middlesticks so good is his base damage on his Ultimate as well as his unexpected ability to trade in lane and win fights if executed correctly.

- Against AD Mid
- Rush
Seeker's Armguard followed by
Ionian Boots of Lucidity. Then finish
Zhonya's Hourglass followed by
Morellonomicon.
- Against AP Mid
- You can just go
Ionian Boots of Lucidity into
Morellonomicon followed by
Zhonya's Hourglass. over 90% of your matchups will be against AP.
- The ladder 2 scenario's are for the laning phase. Finish your 4th, 5th, and 6th items from the build I provided based on the situation of the rest of the game.

For standard runes your Keystone will be
Summon Aery since you can keep activating it in lane. Followed by this you will have
The Ultimate Hat for your Ultimate to gain additional CDR for it,
Celerity for extra movement speed to synergize with your passive, and
Scorch for extra lane bullying. For your secondary tree you will run Domination, taking
Cheap Shot for extra damage that because it always activates off your
Terrify, and
Eyeball Collection for even more damage. Remember these are standard Runes so feel free to experiment and find what works for you.







I'll be as straight forward as possible. Start







If you are in lane and your close enough to an enemy while they are close to their minions, use this combo to deal a ton of early damage. I wouldn't recommend going for the kill unless your confident enough to pull this off with ignite. Also, make sure you activate these abilities as fast as possible to optimize the cc effects.





This is your kill primary kill combo. If you have



- Pros
- Hard CC for both follow up and shutting down enemy abilities
- Extremely high damage potential
- Easily dive back line
- Sets up counter picking potential for your team (by you picking this mid say, first pick in que, the enemy team will think your the jungler then pick to counter you, but then sets up your team to get counter picks against them.)
- Cons
- No high burst or heavy sustain damage in laning phase
- Team fight and roaming opportunities are dependent upon your ult cooldown
- CC will cancel your ult channel
- Can be countered late game if enemy team gets vision/decides to fight when they don't see you around.

- Your job is to be an assassin style mage. So when it come to a team fight, position yourself to the side of the enemy team but remain hidden. When they engage or you see an opportunity to get a pick, ult in toward their back line and focus the primary threat. Following that either unload you full combo or pop hourglass depending on whether or not you get focused.
- When it comes to roaming, basically you want to do the same thing except you have to remember that your
Terrify causes them to flee away from you, so always try to get them feared toward your team but don't force it. If they don't have
Flash up then usually your team will be able to follow up and get the kill anyway.
- And 1 more thing, unless you are in a fleeing situation, always try to save your
Flash for your ult, this way you can cover even more ground to dive the back line and get the kill.

- In conclusion,
Fiddlesticks played in the mid lane is a fun and annoying way to win. The type of mage he is can make his laning phase a bit awkward, but his damage potential is worth it if you can master him in this off role. Like I have said, this guide is only meant to supplement you with the information necessary to use
Fiddlesticks properly and ultimately it's up to you as the player to execute this pick. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this guide and learned something new today. Good luck on the rift and see you soon summoner!
