Playing against Fiddlesticks
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Ward flanking paths and behind walls: Fiddlesticks' R is devastating from ambush but weak when seen.
His W channel can be interrupted by CC — a stun or knockup cancels his sustain immediately.
Q fear is targeted but has short range — long-range champions counter him well.
Spread out in teamfights: his R + W deal massive area damage if you're grouped.
