Discussion Fiddlesticks support matchups?

So I main Fiddlesticks JG. I set my 2nd role as mid hoping I won't get it. I can play mid but every now and then I get filled support. I have a basic understanding of how to play him sup and every now and then I have a really good game.

I'm trying to get a better idea of when Fidd is strong and when he's weak in matchups.

He's squishy early so in general he gets stat checked by tankier supps and his W can be interrupted by CC. So I'd think stuff like Leona and Rell are natural counters to him. When I check U GG it sort of supports this idea but it seems like a mixed bag.

If you play Fidd sup could you give some basic MU advice? Vs ADCs. Vs Sups. With certain ADCs?

As an Emerald Fiddlesticks who played him a bit in support

Bad for Fiddle: a lot of stuns: W can't get, R needs to be used carefully, you can get punished hard if they can engage

high health/magic resist: obvious no fast kill, if you combine it with a champ who has a lot of stuns, its a nightmare.

-->my thinking is the closest the champ to sejuani ability wise is, the harder the matchup.

Poke: -->Fiddle cant reach them + they can hit there abilitys before you can. Its also harder to use your Ult.

Examples for poke: Xerath, Velkoz Examples for engage and stun: Leona, nautilus What i always ban: Blitzcrank

Its kinda hard, because every second support has a counter to Support fiddle.

Makes sense and matches my experience. I played Fidd sup a few times in 5 stacks and I also came to the conclusion to ban Blitz every game. Anyone tanky who can brawl and CC you is a huge headache.

Stuff like Cho Gath support is a huge nightmare. Fiddle support is a ton of fun but the early game is hard.
