Based on 58 recent matches analyzed, Zaahen wins with a 53.5% win rate compared to Fiddlesticks's 46.5%, giving Zaahen a 6.9 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Zaahen controls the early laning stage, but Fiddlesticks outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Zaahen needs to press advantages before Fiddlesticks reaches their power spikes, while Fiddlesticks should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints.
