How I reached Master with a 94% Winrate Playing Fiddlesticks Mid

[@xanmartinez2790]

94% is insane congrats

[@karthusslesticks]

thanks :D

[@noahx.classic]

Mindset part is huge. People seem to crumble and freak out so easily in league. Been like that since the start.

[@k4ba]

It's a punishing game like no other

[@binemisko]

I came to diamond with fiddle mid after not playing for a year. (Rank before was gold). I can see we have similar ideas and thought process. I think you almost perfected the fiddle mid technique

[@xanderlaureta2481]

The vid was so useful, I've read the spreadsheet's content and I love these kind of in depth guides. I'm a yorick main what made me into yorick even further because of the in depth matchup spreadsheets (thanks slogdog). What I suggest is instead of champion names, have their icon instead. Also some parts are hard to read because it's lightgreen and the text color is white without an outline. But the content is very very useful, informative and well done. I will main this for sure!

[@karthusslesticks]

slogdog is the goat hahha i can try putting their icon instead but i wanted to do their names so you can search the matchup with control + f yk

[@123mrtavsiti]

Used to be my main pick from season 4 onwards, had around 80% winrate and back then it was unbeatable on mid, glad to see it still being viable!

[@willothewisp91]

Ive been playing midsticks since the old days and just recently coming back after many years from taking a break, middlesticks is very good, ahri tends to be the only hard counter on fiddle.

[@karthusslesticks]

ahri is okay matchup imo for me anivia and azir are way worse

You don't ward their wraiths at 1.15 which would tell you where their jungler is at

[@karthusslesticks]

No I dont because i usually crash 2nd/3rd wave then i can ward their raptors + in higher elos their mid or supp will cover the raptors and chunk me which I dont wanna risk + your effigies can get destroyed super easily at raptor camp

[@HEEHHOOH]

I've one-tricked Fiddle mid since season 1 and hit GM with it last season. I agree with like 90 percent of your matchup spreadsheet but I struggle with some that you put in "medium" and I have an easier time against some of the ones you put in "hard".

[@nikolajjensen6238]

Interesting video. I gave up on Fiddlesticks(jungle) this season, but I might have to try this. But where can I download 5cs/min hack?

[@karthusslesticks]

LMAO real chads go 3cs/min give it a try i think mid is way more fun than jungle but i guess its just personal preference imo middlesticks might be stronger than junglesticks in the current meta

[@deadspace4755]

Excellent work, in theory, most heroes can reach good rates if you play on positions they do well(their non-primary position) right? l am saying, what if l someone masters enchanter top-mid-adc(not AD damage)? Like Soraka or Lulu? Or, it solely depends the amount of lethality (not the actual stat) of champ's kit? Fiddlesticks for example, can be pretty lethal, that also means high impact and/or player agency? While enchanters have low impact or depends solely on their teammates to perform or impact well?

[@karthusslesticks]

Yes I would say that you would have a way harder time climbing as enchanter solo lane because you dont deal a lot of damage so it makes you dependent on your teammates If you play Rengar Top or Samira Top for example you have way more damage in your kit therefore way more agency and can carry games by yourself

[@deadspace4755]

@@karthusslesticks So you need damage. Reminds me of Ana from Overwatch. The perfect support for me. Can deal damage to Squishy targets and kill them but also output healing to allies. Obviously, her grenade which disables enemy healing makes her even more powerful. Do you think Senna is similar to Ana? Or if there is a hero that can heal but also damage (not high damage but at least highest out of its category of support) l just love enchanters/healers

[@Craftee6]

You're probably looking at seraphine or sona, although idk how their dmg will be after recent changes. Otherwise if you wanna still deal dmg while having some ability to heal (but not being enchanter / actual healer) you can try senna or nilah. They deal dmg while doing some healing to teammates. @@deadspace4755

[@deadspace4755]

@@yuutsu7201 Senna for sure, she has a global ulti like Soraka(but different). And can stack throughout the game, so if you stay alive and farm, you can become strong.

yall made this all up

[@TheKaratejesus]

how did you get master in 16 games? I've won 20 in a row on a fresh smurf and only gotten to like plat 1 (before emerald added)

[@karthusslesticks]

the account was master last season and decayed to plat so i was already starting in emerald 1

[@thatguy5233]

correct me if i'm wrong, but from what i observed, your mmr is shared between your accounts, like on my main account i got masters for the first time and it took me literally over 100 games and then on a "fresh" (no rankeds) account it took me only about 50 to have that mmr while having relatively terrible WR

[@thomasanderson3432]

@@thatguy5233 it is all about maths and riot's mmr algorithm. on fresh acc u win 10 games to 0 loses - wow you are amazing player with 100% winrate, but once u lose a single game u wont be 100% never again. winning 50 games in a row if u have 500 games on an account isnt a big deal, but going 50-0 on fresh acc u are like a god (for algorithm) thats why many of old pro players had like 20 accounts before they reached high elo. like author said, there is no diff between low master or platinum.

do ppl not troll your draft after seeing your pick? happens often to me often

[@kadarr7953]

Hey hi dude, its me again haha I had 12 games with middlesticks since i saw this video, im 75% winrate, and i have a couple questions. It was not in ranked matches, i dont play rankeds jet but the elo was around emerald-diamond. I destroyed every assassin/melee i had in line, but like, insanely hard haha like killing them 4 or 5 times and being like 30 cs ahead. But i struggle A LOT with the bad matchups (azir, hwei, xerath), i just cant do anything, i cant farm because the bassic of fiddle is by far one of the worse in the game, i cant fight them because of range or they just out-damage me, i cant push and roam because i cant use my w they just poke me or cc me. There is something i can do to deal with it ? i just play safe and wait my team to carry ? i feel pretty useless haha I would love if you could post a video about getting countered hard with fidddle. Anyways thank you a lot, im enjoying it so much, and im getting quite good at it haha im sure im the only dude in LAS playing it HAHAHA and im also learning to do the combos like R-W-F or R-E to extend the fear, i did it a couple times and its devastating, its incredible how this champ can easily 3v1 with good positioning and map reading, its awesome and i love this playstyle.

[@karthusslesticks]

they are very hard to play yeah you can usually punish them really pre-6 but after that it becomes impossible, so I might just buy a pinkward and run straight bot and ignore midlane if my ult is up

You can still carry games even if your teammates are bad, you need to ping a lot whenever an objective is about to spawn, communication is key (or you can also use your teammates as bait and wait for them to get collapsed on then ult)

[@mikec670]

Can’t help but notice at 12:12 there is a [PARTY] tag on a ping. Can you verify the rank of the person you are duoing with? Because this winstreak you are demonstrating also stops immediately after duo queuing is no longer allowed, and if they are a challenger jungler this winstreak is basically a boosted account regardless of your strategy.

[@KeggaWarrior]

It's a bug. Sometimes you can see other parties pings for whatever reason. I checked his opgg to be sure and he wasnt duoing. Just realised the ping is also from the enemy katarina because hes watching replay lol
