Introduction

Hi! I go by Snale in the league community.
My biggest drive in league is off meta!
I come up with builds myself and collect new ones from my great community!

Feel free to join me on: Twitch ; Discord; YouTube

Today, I would like to share with you one of the most fun playstyles imaginable on support!
And that of course being the demon himself, Fiddle.
　　

What´s new? (As of 11.14)

Movement Speed has been globally nerfed, but this luckily doesn´t impact our item choices too much on offensive builds. Flupo´s utility build suffered a big nerf, but is still playable.

Buffs to AP items helps us reach power spikes faster.
Dead mans plate got nerfed, but is still a very comfortable pick up.

Defense oriented builds as well as more support focused can shine quite well! I recommend building moonstone 1st with sorc shoes for supportive. Defense, sorc shoes along with zhonya if needed into all resists, last item locket.
　　

Pros x Cons

Pros

Cons

▶ Great Poke

▶ Squishy

▶ Can Solo Carry

▶ Struggles With Heavy CC

▶ Point&Click CC

▶ Tempo Reliant

▶ Best Vision Control In The Game

▶ Different Support Playstyle

　

The Trinket!!

Fiddle´s trinket is the whole reason he is viable on support!
It has a faster recharge time than normal yellow ward AND lasts longer.
The only downside is, that it acts similar to ghost poro, disappearing when spotted.
It is also a free sweeper post-6!! Even if spooked immediately.

Besides being used for vision, your trinket is also an amazing tool to trick enemies, similar to a Neeko clone, except stationary. Being able to direct the trinkets path allows you to create fancy escapes, which I will be showing later on in the guide.

You always want to buy as many pink wards early as possible, which along with your support items gives you: 4 placable stealth wards, 2 pink wards, 2 trinkets.
You will always have the highest vision score in the game. Secure objectives with it, set up dives, be unseen on roams!
　

The Playstyles

Fiddle has multiple possible playstyles on supp.
I highly reccomend scrolling through possible item builds above.
The first one is damage oriented, second one survival, third one utility.
Credit to FlupoX for coming up with the third one!

▶ General Game Plan

Early game!

• You have a point and click disengage on your Q. Use it to peel your ADC.
• Engage with Q if you´re confident. (better use your passive fear and keep Q for 2nd fear mid fight.
• Focus Movement Speed and Vision early! (Boots + Control Wards)
• Try to snowball as fast as possible.
• Always roam to your jungler. (Scuttle Crab, Invades...)
• Use your trinket passively pre-6, post-6 aggresively.
• Get kills and assists early!
• Focus early objectives.
• Invade enemy with your jungler.

Mid game!

• Go for all-ins with your R.
• Roam mid and top often.
• Focus jungle objectives.
• Set up deep vision around the map.
• Itemize against enemy comp.
• Always be pro-active, do not just babysit your ADC!
• Trading yourself for kills not worth!!
• Play for picks. You should be able to 1v1 almost anyone if you surprise them.

Late game!

• Try to end the game sooner rather than later!!
• Group with your team.
• NEVER engage first, unless you are 100% certain you will kill everyone.
• Wait for enemy mistakes, play for picks, be 2nd engage and disengage.
• Do not get caught!
• More vision control.
• Play for Baron and Elder.
• Your siege is bad, stay behind your allies and peel with Q.

▶ Aggro Damage Build

Core items include Rocketbelt/Zhonya/Sorc Shoes.
Play very aggresively, use your E poke in lane a lot.
This playstyle can easily solo carry games, unless VERY behind in lane.
If you see your teammates popping off, consider Mandate.
Later on, play similar to jungle Fiddle, but with more wards.

▶ Survival Build

Use this for very bad matchups, such as Leona, Pantheon or Thresh.
You miss out on some damage, but you are still a force to be reckoned with, especially with AP items.
Aftershock helps you survive longer in teamfights.
As long as you don´t die, you are doing well.

▶ Utility Build

By FlupoX

Hey! I've been experimenting with the pick and I've found a different playstyle and build path that is working wonders for me.
For runes I go Resolve tree, Aftershock as keystone, and I'm also building Shurelya as my Mythic, then going for Zhonyas and Cosmic.

This is working incredibly well for me because the issues I usually encounter when playing as fiddle get fixed with this strategy:

• I can't go all in in lane because I die too quickly. Fixed by aftershock
• I can't run away from danger against Assassins lategame, so I get demolished. Fixed by shurelya
• I can't stick to enemies when landing a good R. Fixed by shurelya
• I can't reach teamfights in time to land my ultimate. Fixed by shurelya once again
• If I'm not fed, I die after landing R. Fixed by Zhonyas

▶ Caster Build

Utilizes the slow from Glacial Augment along with Moonstone / Mandate / Shurelya.
You´re very squishy, so play similar to any other caster. Stay back, poke with E, peel assassins off your carries with Q. Use your R defensively to once again protect your teammates.
　

Conclusion

Thank you so much for reading!
I really hope you will have fun messing around with this playstyle.
If you have any suggestions, please leave them in the discussion section.

One more thanks to FlupoX for sharing their build path!
It´s a lot of fun to play and I urge you all to give it a shot.
