Lore

Fiddlesticks is a ghastly, living scarecrow who stalks the darkness, wielding a cruel scythe and preying upon the unwary. Once a lonely man accused of bringing famine to his village, he was tied up and left to starve in his own barren field. Resurrected by the savage murder of crows that fed on his remains, Fiddlesticks now relishes terrorizing his victims before claiming their lives amid a flurry of feathers and blood-splattered beaks.

Tips

Playing as

  • Use Dark Wind to rack up many minion kills, and try to use Drain on minions to get the maximum health drain.
  • Use Terrify on enemies before starting up Crowstorm or Drain to ensure maximum damage.
  • Fiddlesticks is very fragile if you build AP items. Try to strike a balance between offense and defense with runes, masteries, and items.

Playing against

  • Avoid attacking while close to your allies. Dark Wind will bounce between you and your allies, increasing its damage.
  • If Fiddlesticks has used Crowstorm, try casting a stun or slow and moving out of range until the spell dissipates.
  • If Fiddlesticks is nowhere to be seen, watch out for an ambush Crowstorm from brush.

Lore
For nearly twenty years, Fiddlesticks has stood alone in the easternmost summoning chamber of the Institute of War. Only the burning emerald light of his unearthly gaze pierces the musty darkness of his dust-covered home. It is here that the Harbinger of Doom keeps a silent vigil. His is a cautionary tale of power run amokghastly, taught toliving allscarecrow summonerswho withinstalks the League.

In what was ultimately his last match, his reachbringing finallyfamine exceededto his grasp. Sealing himself inside the easternmost summoning chambervillage, he began incanting the most forbidden of rituals - an extra-planar summoning. What exactly happened inside that chamber remains unknown. No champion came to represent Zaun that day in Summoner's Rift. Only silence echoed back from repeated knocks on the chamber door. The first apprentice who entered was cut down immediately by an unearthly scythe. What few who followed and survived were driven mad by fear, mere husks of men gibbering abouttied crowsup and death. Afraid of the evil even Istvaan could not control, the League sealed all exits to the chamber, hoping they could contain what they could not destroy. Years went by, but the wooden figure within never moved save to slay any foolish enough to enter.
