Fiddlesticks vs Qiyana Counter Pick

Two of the least forgiving champions in the game meet here, rated 9 and 8 for difficulty, and across 287 games on patch 16.13.1 the scarecrow is clearly the winning side with 58.2%. Qiyana’s damage is listed as magic, so the usual armor purchase does nothing for either half of the exchange.

Her problem is the approach. From 150 attack range she needs Terrashape to dash and enchant her weapon, then Audacity to close the last stretch, and Royal Privilege only pays bonus damage on the first hit against each enemy. Every one of those steps is a commitment that Terrify can undo, while Reap silences anyone caught in the centre of the slash and stops the follow-up entirely. Supreme Display of Talent is her equaliser, a shockwave that detonates elements and stuns, but it wants terrain and a target that has not already scattered. Health tells the rest: 590 at level 1 against 650, climbing to 2,545 and 2,452 by 18, with 31 armor to 34 and 335 move speed on both sides. Between two burst kits the champion who opens keeps the initiative, and every re-entry costs her another element to enchant the weapon first. Sustain settles the remainder, since Bountiful Harvest drains health back while Crowstorm keeps ticking. Kits: Fiddlesticks and Qiyana.
