Gameplay
Lane phase
Early in the game, Fiddlesticks wants to quickly gain an experience advantage in order to unlock his ultimate R ability – Crowstorm as quickly as possible. Before that, be careful not to run into the enemy jungler if you don’t have friendly support, especially against strong early junglers.
Once you have your ultimate ability, you will be able to initiate actions that the enemy does not envision. R – Crowstorm is also a very good spell to counter enemy initiatives; you can counter a gank or an objective by taking control of the area in a split second.
Teamfight
Your Passive – A Harmless Scarecrow ability is meant to give you the edge over vision; Immerse your enemies in the dark before attacking them, this will cause them to flee and increase your damage.
Prefer flanks as much as possible; do not stay with your allies and stay on the lookout to join the fight as soon as the opportunity seems right. If you initiate the teamfight and the enemy seems to want your hide, quickly use your Zhonya Hourglass, then you will be unresponsive for 2.5 seconds but R – Crowstorm will inflict damage around you. By applying your crowd controls, you will make your enemies flee: place yourself in the center of the opposing formation in order to split them, leaving the carries defenseless. Once your primary target is on the run, use it to hit them with E – Reap center of impact, silencing them.
