Rell vs Fiddlesticks Counter Pick

A rating of 9 on the difficulty scale meets a rating of 0, and the harder champion loses. Rell takes the support lane at 62.6% over 107 games on patch 16.13.1 — a small sample, but one with an obvious cause.

Fiddlesticks depends on channels and on not being seen. Crowstorm is a channel, Bountiful Harvest is a drain that only pays out its execute damage at the end of its duration, and Terrify is strongest when cast from an unseen position. Rell interrupts all three. Shattering Strike stuns in a line, Ferromancy: Crash Down knocks up on impact, and Magnet Storm keeps pulling nearby enemies inward for its full duration, holding a scarecrow in exactly the place he does not want to be.

Statistically the two are closer than the record suggests. Fiddlesticks holds 650 base health to her 620, 34 base armor to her 30, and 113.9 armor at level 18 against her 98, so she is the flimsier champion by the late game. His 480 attack range against her 175 makes every poke free while she walks at 315 move speed. The gap opens on arrival, and on how narrow the execution window for his kit really is when a stun is available. Sheet: Fiddlesticks.
