I use Fiddlesticks as my main, don't worry. I play him as a bottom laner, as I suck at jungling, unless it's the dragon. Or Baron.

Start off with a Doran's  Ring, then rush Ninja Tabi. Afterwards, aim to get Abyssal Scepter as this will help you with your abilities. Then get Banshee's Veil and Rabadon's Deathcap for more health, mana, magic resistance and ability power. If you have money, I normally get Arcangel Staff or Runaan's Hurricane (ideally Arcangel Staff for extra mana, as Fiddlesticks' abilities are mana-consuming). This build helps me win most of my games in bottom lane.

For abilities, start with Drain, then get Dark Wind at level 2. Get another point in Drain, then get Terrify at level 4. Add one more point in drain, as at level 6 you get your ultimate. Max drain by level 9 (Spend your level 8 point on Dark Wind for more damage). After that work on maxing Dark Wind (by level 12, of course, because you should upgrade your ultimate at level 11). After this begin maxing Terrify.

For gameplay, hide in the brush and wait until your opponent gets near to use your drain (in the beginning). When minions spawn, focus on farming them to get experience to get Dark Wind to poke at your enemies. If they get close enough to you, just drain them, and beware of the turrets. Also, use Dark Wind to farm minions.
