Daxx and I played a couple games ago, I didn't play a carry so we got fucked over by incompetent teammates being piles of shit and not knowing how to play.
I got to play fiddles though, which was fun.
I've been playing more fiddlesticks lately, getting back into the groove. You certainly can't play him the way you used to be able to, but if you get near farmed-veigar levels of AP, you can still 1v3 champions if you're good.
Also Maokai just totally sucks. Really hard. He has the worst AOE ultimate in the entire game.
For those of you who want an easy-to-play champion that wins games easymode, try playing Trist. She pushes lanes, and farms, and then she pushes more lanes. Right click and afk, come back to a victory screen. No skill required, big payoffs in game wins. Build pure damage and let her q give you all the AS you need.
