How to beat Fiddlesticks

Common role: Jungle

A living scarecrow of dread whose ambush ultimate erases teams.

What makes Fiddlesticks dangerous

Fiddlesticks TERRIFIES anyone he hits while unseen (passive-effigy mind games), silences, drains health, and his ultimate channels from fog into a massive AoE storm — the single scariest ambush in the game. His effigies fake wards and scout for him.

How to play against Fiddlesticks

• 1Deep vision + sweepers: his whole game is the unseen ult angle.
• 2Attack "wards" that look wrong — effigies die to one hit.
• 3Interrupt the drain (W) and the ult channel with CC.
• 4Don't facecheck brushes after 6. Ever.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Completely vision-dependent — sweep and he's a minion.
• ✓Frail and immobile when caught outside fog.
• ✓The ult channel is interruptible pre-cast.
• ✓Weak early skirmisher before Zhonya's.

• P
  Eine harmlose Vogelscheuche

  Fiddlesticks' Schmuck wird durch Abbilder einer Vogelscheuche ersetzt.

  Strong: unseen approaches TERRIFY on his first hit; effigies fake wards. Weak: real vision defeats both — sweep and ward walls.

• Q
  Schrecken

  Wenn Fiddlesticks Gegnern mit Fähigkeiten Schaden zufügt, während er nicht gesehen wird, oder er einen Gegner mit der Aktivierung von „Schrecken“ anvisiert, versetzt er die Zieleinheit in Furcht. Diese flieht daraufhin panisch für eine bestimmte Zeit.

  Strong: an on-demand fear when he ambushes from fog. Weak: seen Fiddle = no fear bonus — face him with vision.

• W
  Ertragreiche Ernte

  Fiddlesticks entzieht nahen Gegnern Leben. Am Ende des Effekts fügt er zusätzlichen Exekutionsschaden zu.

  Strong: a channelled drain that heals him through duels. Weak: interruptible channel — one CC flips the 1v1.

• E
  Jetzt ist Sense

  Fiddlesticks schwingt seine Sense. Alle getroffenen Gegner werden verlangsamt und Gegner in der Mitte des Sensenschlags zusätzlich verstummt.

  Strong: a slicing silence that cuts escapes and channels. Weak: hits nearest targets — minions eat it in lane skirmishes.

• R
  Krähensturm

  Ein Krähenschwarm umgibt Fiddlesticks und verursacht an allen gegnerischen Einheiten in der Nähe pro Sekunde Schaden.

  Strong: an ambush AoE storm that erases grouped teams. Weak: the channel pre-cast is CC-able; storms from fog need vision denial — ward chokes.

Itemization

Vision wins the game: control wards, sweep chokes pre-objective, punish his weak face-to-face duels.
