Fiddlesticks is an extremely good pick for mid lane, I guess that the two reasons people do not want to use him mid lane is because he is not a burst champion like LeBlanc, he us a DoT champion that has an ultimate amazing for teamfights. Not only that, but Fiddlesticks has horrible pushing power.

However, Fiddlesticks is good at mid lane for various reasons, but my favorite one is that he has sustain. Most mid laners have no sustain and most of them don't build one, Fiddlesticks can sit on the mid lane for a lot of time without having to go back to base, as long as you don't waste all his mana.

Fiddlesticks also counter a bunch of champions at mid lane, for example,. Fiddlesticks is the perfect counter to Zed; there are ones that I used, such as, , , , pre-rework , and. However, I've lost lanes against Zed using those "counters" at least once. Fiddlesticks is the exception, though. I never lost a lane against Zed. Fiddlesticks has sustain to counter Zed's harass (of course you want to still dodge his shurikens) and if Zed ults on you, just silence him and fear him, then back off. Drain him, and you will do far more damage to him than he will do to you. Zed also has no hard CC to interrupt Fiddlesticks' ultimate, theorically I can ult near a Zed as a Fiddlesticks, and not have to worry about anything.
