what statistics and "the math" won't take into account is usability of Fiddle's abilities, if I nuke combo you with veiger, you get hit three times for all the damage up front.

This isn't true with fiddle, who can allow a player to avoid a large portion of his damage by simply walking away, this is possible even while feared.

I'd recommend Hourglass over Deathcap for a number of reasons: fiddle's got garbage armor, fiddle lacks an escape ability, and Hourglass is now a few hundred Gold less. Items like Abyssal scepter and void staff are probably more complimentary than Deathcap too, considering MR will render fiddle useless by lategame.
