As a champion designed to fight head-on against his enemies, Volibear is great at beating Fiddlesticks. This is mainly due to the champion’s ability to chase after and heal up more than the damage Fiddlesticks would deal. Moreover, Volibear has a better early map presence than his counterpart.
Just like Volibear, Warwick is also a sustain-based champion who excels in early-game skirmishing. Fiddlesticks will rarely beat Warwick in isolation and in the teamfights, standing still to deal damage with his W can make him susceptible to Warwick’s ultimate.
If Fiddlesticks is the type of champion that needs to farm up and gain lots of gold and experience to deal damage, the best way to beat him is by impacting the map as much as possible early on. As Nocturne, you can easily to do thanks to the ultimate but on top of that, Nocturne has the spell shield to protect him from Fiddlesticks’ incoming abilities.
She might be one of the best Graves counters but Nidalee falls apart against Fiddlesticks. Despite having a much stronger early game, Nidalee will rarely find the angle to kill Fiddlesticks given that the scarecrow can heal up most of the damage taken with his W. If the enemy jungler tries to pounce him, chances are she will be feared and instantly taken down.
While he’s not a popular jungle pick currently, Wukong has a tough matchup into Fiddlesticks, mainly due to his low magic resistance and poor jungle clears. Don’t pick it if the enemy jungler has already shown his choice.
