He is a really underrated mid pick. Fiddlesticks has sustain, silence, and a ult that can turn out teamfights. What Fiddlesticks lacks in comparison to most other mages, is burst damage, but I do not think this is a problem because of Fiddlesticks silence and sustain.

Fiddlesticks is good against some AD caster assassins like Zed and Kha'Zix, but fares worse against more supportive mages like Lux and Cassiopeia. However, even if you take into account his counters, there are very few mid champions who can reach the same level of teamfighting presence that Fiddlesticks has. One of them is Kennen. Not to mention that Fiddlesticks' hard CC allows his team to pick off squishy and even some tanky targets without them being able to deal any damage back.

Even if Fiddlesticks faces a counter, he is extremely good on mid lane because of his teamfighting presence.
