So apparently Froggen is spamming Duo Queue with Nyph playing duo lane and Tabbz is spamming mid champs.

truly Counter Logic Europe!

optimal fiddle setups require good ward control but decent+ engages win games

Problem with fiddle is you need setup time and ward coverage annie and leona just go.That is why they are better by far.

We covered that his engage is hard to pull off. What we spent the last page clarifying is that his engage is powerful (his aoe is in most situations the strongest in the game). Of course Annie and Leona have snap-trigger engages that are strong single target, that's why they're also used.

Eh, Tibbers' AoE is good enough to pull off 2+-man stuns, same with Solar Flare. Leona's damage is def mostly single target tough, sure her passive brings more AoE than Blitz, Alistar, Nami, and potentially Thresh (depends who eats her ult and W and if someone eats multiple Box walls since past the first for the same person the damage is halved) but not enough for a bursty all-in support.

Fiddle's better at bush control though since he's not reliant on Flash to initiate if you don't have vision of him, and that's what gives him so much pressure. Otherwise he still doesn't burst as hard as Leona or Annie, but if your target is cc'd for 4+ seconds (3s Fear + 1.2+s Silence) that should be enough to kill them before they flash out or to let your allies chain their own cc.
Obv. with a fear losing 25% of its duration it's another thing...

Difference is also that his level 1 is way stronger than Leona's or Annie's because bouncing crows stronk.


good luck against leona stun on more than 1 person, you'll get the slows maybe. its cast time is too long
tibbes is a lot stronger engage but annie is squishy and leona isnt

leona is pretty much unkillably tanky if you get a decent amount of gold to get 2.5k+ hp, but her damage is pretty weak and her CDs are fairly long.
she's kinda like the CCing counterpart to garen (who is primarily a damage threat with little CC)

fiddles engage sucks in terms of how easy it is to engage, but in terms of strength its ridiculously strong.

annie has probably the easiest engage with flash tibber, but its also pretty risky to jump in with a squishy support even if you build rather tanky. Annie's E is one reason why she's strong though, it helps you not get melted.

So?Being reliable>being stronger by far.Poppy is beast with items but noone picks her same reason.She isn't reliable.Fiddle jungle is different obviously.

Tabzz was playing mid before he joined Lemondogs, so at least half of the potential swap makes sense. And unlike Xmithy, Froggen isn't really considered the best at his role anymore.
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

But Fiddle isn't a completely unreliable engage. Comparing him to Poppy isn't quite on the mark, since Poppy is far more unreliable than Fiddle. His engage is hard, but not so far outside the realm of possibility that it makes it bad.

Tabzz was an amazing mid, I wouldn't mind him at mid again. Froggen ADC less so but idk how good he'd be

So the top meta now is tanky dudes like Shyv and Mundo, right?

What's up with Singed? Do they bully him out too much early?

too weak early, doesn't do as much damage as meta tanks, needs too many items to be relevant - can't rush sunfire and dominate

still somewhat viable (as in i wouldn't call him a troll pick) but only as a tier 2 comfort pick

Fid is a good secondary engage, he's not great unless your team has a champ that can force the enemy team to react in some way you want/ can predict before he crow storms onto them. The only time he's good as an engage is in jungle fights where you have the ward coverage already.

On an aside, I've been taking clarity on Nami with ad's who can benefit from it, I feel like it's pretty strong.
