Statistical Matchup Analysis

Meta staple Thresh (13.9% pick rate, 1st most popular out of 53 Support champions) rarely faces off-meta Fiddlesticks (0.8% pick rate). However, even uncommon picks can cheese unprepared players, so basic matchup knowledge provides valuable insurance.

How to Beat Fiddlesticks as Thresh (Support)

The Thresh versus Fiddlesticks matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Thresh deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Fiddlesticks deals primarily magic damage (92.01%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Thresh is superior vision control (ranked 14th among supports) (versus 38th for Fiddlesticks), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 2.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Thresh Support versus Fiddlesticks Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Thresh player to maintain constant pressure on Fiddlesticks, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

    Thresh tips:

    • Communication is key when making use of Thresh's lantern. Let your teammates know how you like to use it.
    • Death Sentence and Flay can be combined in either cast order for powerful combinations.
    • Thresh can collect souls without needing to kill units himself. Planning your map position to be near the most deaths will help to maximize soul collection.
