The Fiddlesticks versus Bard matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Fiddlesticks deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Bard has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Bard, ranking 23rd (versus 47th for Fiddlesticks) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.1 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Fiddlesticks player to maintain constant pressure on Bard, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
