Qiyana vs Fiddlesticks Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Qiyana, Empress of the Elements, meets Fiddlesticks, the Ancient Fear, in the jungle. Over 278 ranked games on patch 16.13.1, Qiyana closes out 41.4% of them. A deficit of 8.6 points is what earns Fiddlesticks its counter flag in this matchup.
Both sides lean magic, meaning Fiddlesticks and Qiyana shop from the same defensive shelf. Starting health splits 650 to 590 in Fiddlesticks’s favour, with armour at 31 against 34. Qiyana scales to 2545 health by 18 while Fiddlesticks reaches 2452. Base attack damage is 64 against 55, so Qiyana wins the raw auto-attack exchange.
The 480-versus-150 attack range gap means Fiddlesticks can contest the wave from outside Qiyana’s reach. Every step Qiyana takes forward is one Fiddlesticks can answer from range.
Watch the cooldowns that swing it: Qiyana’s Elemental Wrath / Edge of Ixtal (Q) against Fiddlesticks’s Reap (E). Then it becomes Supreme Display of Talent against Crowstorm, and the one still holding it sets the terms.
Behind 41.4% are 278 games against Fiddlesticks, not a handful of anecdotes.
