Fiddlesticks vs Darius Matchup Summary

The Fiddlesticks vs Darius matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Darius wins with a 75.0% win rate compared to Fiddlesticks's 25.0%, giving Darius a 50.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Fiddlesticks controls the early laning stage, but Darius outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Fiddlesticks needs to press advantages before Darius reaches their power spikes, while Darius should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Fiddlesticks leads by 0.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Darius has a strong advantage in this matchup. Fiddlesticks players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Darius overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Fiddlesticks dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Darius. This lopsided early game means Fiddlesticks can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Darius is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 100.0% win rate — 100.0 points above Fiddlesticks. Extended games heavily favor Darius, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

If Darius survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
