Playing as Fiddlesticks

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Strike from out of their vision

    Channel Crowstorm (R) out of their vision, from a brush or behind a wall: if you're unseen when your spells hit, Terrify (Q) fears them too.

  2. Aim the center of your scythe

    Aim the center of Reap (E) at the key target: in the center, they're silenced; at the edges, only slowed.

  3. Finish your harvest

    Channel Bountiful Harvest (W) to the end on camps and minion groups: you heal for part of the damage, and the remaining cooldown drops by 60%.

  4. Place your effigies

    Place the effigies from A Harmless Scarecrow (passive) in key brushes: they replace your trinket, and Terrify (Q) can fear when you're mimicking one.

Playing against Lee Sin

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Step up when he misses Q

    Step up when Sonic Wave (Q) misses you: without it, he has no dash to reach you, and it has a 10 to 6 second cooldown.

  2. Spread out from your allies

    In teamfights, spread out from your allies when facing him: the champion he kicks with Dragon's Rage (R) damages every enemy they collide with and knocks them into the air.

  3. Watch your early jungle

    Ward your jungle entrance early on: Lee Sin often looks to invade early to get ahead.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Lee Sin is strongest early and loses impact once everyone has their items.
