the Ancient Fear
Patch 26.20 · Stats from the 26.18 Master+ sample (1,933 games).
Fiddlesticks, the Ancient Fear, trades its trinket for scarecrow effigies, and Crowstorm drops it into a fight in a swarm of crows. Master+ players took it to the jungle far more than support, mostly with Electrocute, and built Hextech Rocketbelt, Shadowflame and Zhonya's Hourglass.

Dodge the primary — its rotation is one skillshot; sidestep it and the rest is chip
Track the roam — it is strongest where the enemy jungler already is
Punish the cooldown — Fiddlesticks is exposed while its rotation is down
Ward the flank — vision is what turns its best opening into a worse one
Respect the spike — Riot rates the kit 9/10, so a practised player gets more out of it than the average

Riot's notes from patch 25.S1.1 to 26.20 change Fiddlesticks in 2 patches. The latest is patch 25.13, published 2025-06-24.
WBountiful Harvest
Fiddlesticks is struggling a bit in the jungle so we're giving it some gold scaling power that shouldn't affect its Support efficacy much, which we think is in a decent spot.
QTerrify
WBountiful Harvest
Support Fiddlesticks is becoming more popular than jungle Fiddle which we're okay with… except for the fact that he's clearly more powerful as a support. We're looking to make adjustments that are roughly neutral for jungle and will bring the power down for support.
Riot's data lists 9 looks for Fiddlesticks with their own art, the base skin included and 46 chroma variants.

Riot Data Dragon 16.20.1. Growth curve: League of Legends Wiki — Champion statistic.
Fiddlesticks, the Ancient Fear, is a Mage and Support champion in League of Legends. Riot rates the kit 9/10 for difficulty, 2/10 for attack, 3/10 for defense and 9/10 for magic. Fiddlesticks spends Mana and has 9 skins with their own art.
Something has awoken in Runeterra. Something ancient. Something terrible. The ageless horror known as Fiddlesticks stalks the edges of mortal society, drawn to areas thick with paranoia where it feeds upon terrorized victims. Wielding a jagged scythe, the haggard, makeshift creature reaps fear itself, shattering the minds of those unlucky enough to survive in its wake. Beware the sounding of the crow, or the whispering of the shape that appears almost human… Fiddlesticks has returned.
