Should give fizz the ezreal treatment

{quoted}

Not always. Usually fizz players would have 35 from with their build looking like Or something like that. They dont have to get the ionian boots anymore now that zhonyas gives 10% CDR and they can get

The point is that the cooldown on his abilities hasn't actually gotten any lower. Ezreal's cooldowns were suddenly too low in the pre-season and so needed nerfs but Fizz's cooldowns aren't any lower than they have been in a long time, so why are they suddenly unacceptable?

Ezreal was nerfed in the pre-season because he'd been balanced around getting far less CDR than he was actually getting access to and that needed adjusting because it was inappropriate for him to get as much CDR as he was with the cooldowns he had. Fizz's cooldowns have been tuned around him hitting 40% for ages now and so there's no inappropriate change in that department. What might be inappropriate is the lack of trade-offs he's making in gaining access to that CDR now (i.e. if he goes Morello he can get MPen boots) but that basically just equates to "Fizz is now too strong" and there are any number of nerfs that might be suitable for that problem. You could nerf his cooldowns but they're not necessarily the best thing to look at.

This thread is really clearly made by someone who finds Fizz's low E cooldown frustrating and has found what they think is a reasonable excuse to make it longer, but there's been no actual change in that department for a long time to this is just your standard "Nerf Troll Pole!" thread, that could have been made this time two weeks ago or this time six months ago. Patch 6.9 is relevant in terms of Fizz's overall power level but completely irrelevant in terms of how acceptable his cooldowns are taken by themselves.

Zhonya's gives CDR now...thats 45% with lich bane and morello's.....

zhonyas got nerfed really really hard now. its a defensive item from now on. fizz won 10%cdr and lost some damage and zhonyas active now has 2 minutes cd, where it used to have 60 seconds.

abyssal isnt fizz's most used item. fizz builds morello lichbaen and zhonyas. abyssal doesnt fit in his build. he cant give up zhonyas for abyssal as thats his core item, and its not cost eficient to give up lich bane either.

I'm not ignoring that fact I'm saying he's not comparable to Ezreal and his situation. Ezreal's ult cooldown was nerfed because his sudden easy access to 40% CDR meant his Q cooldown was much smaller and he could therefore spam the crap out of it to make his come off cooldown much faster. CDR wasn't really the issue, it was his Q which, again, lowers all his other cooldowns on hit. Let's not forget as well how IBG (the item he was abusing) not only gave him easy access to that CDR because it was buffed up to 20% CDR, but also gave him armor, mana, and a spellblade effect to proc with his Q for even more damage.

Fizz could hit 40% cooldown for a while now, all he had to do was build a Morellonomicon to go with his Lich Bane. The only difference now is he has more options to get to that 40 from items. Otherwise he's pretty much the same, nothing else has really changed about Fizz or what he can do with his items since he's building pretty much the same stuff. If anything he should at least be doing less damage because both Zhonya's and Abyssal had their offensive properties nerfed.

There's some facts for you.

Even more.

See? This is why Zhonia's was never that good on mages (except Morg, Fiddle and Kennen) while being broken on mobility AP assassins.

Because Riot is infamous for nerfing champions right after they release a big skin for them, usually a week or two.

Ezreal can and does easily max CDR with and runes. That Fizz build costs 9000 gold, almost triple what Ezreal pays (3600). On what planet is that more easily obtained than Ezreal's?

Ezreal should have at least 30% by the time Fizz even has 20%, though he can have 40% in the same time if he gives up an AD quint on his runepage for CDR. Fizz can arguably do the same but still has to pay way more gold because his CDR is all in comparatively expensive offensive items. Ezreal can also buy Essence Reaver, which gives him CDR just for building crit (a cheap stat to build).

To say he has easier access to Fizz than Ezreal is just foolish and really shows your bias.

To be fair the slow only procs if u dont recast it

Like how Yasuo's Q cooldown scales with attack speed. Maybe scale it with MS capping at ~700 so 700 is a full 40% cd and his base is a 0%. It is a mobility spell after all.
