Fiddle is one of the few junglers who not only survived the jungle changes completely unharmed, but became even stronger. The new jungle favors defenses and sustain while clearing, and Fiddle has the best sustain in the game against stationary, CC-deprived targets. His first clear is fairly quick, and leaves him with enough health to easily gank, which the previous generation of early gankers can't do anymore. Fiddle never used jungle items in the first place, and now that their gold generation has been removed he is no longer at an income disadvantage. Teams also tend to group earlier, due to the increased importance of Dragon and neutral jungle objectives, which makes Fiddle's AoE damage and CC even more valuable. He generally got a really good deal all around with the Preseason 5 jungle.
