.......and then you add the 20% damage amplification into his ult. Seems like Fizz can still assassinate you off, like when you got caught by his shark, then Fizz will 
in, WQE CHOMP, ded.
Why......why even bother asking for Fizz nerfs........
Unironic SJW4 votesso pretty much fizz has to hit a narrow hard to aim skillshot that's attached to his ultimate to actually kill you (as opposed to just needing Q + R then trollpoling away) and if he doesn't hit said skillshot he might as well b because the damage on the Q and W got gutted so hard
dodge the fish or hide behind your tank and spam laugh when fizz does nothing for the rest of the teamfight. They also destroyed his already shaky laning by forcing him to actually activate his W for the missing health amp along with no more GW and the nerfed Q damage. I don't think Fizz has a single winning matchup in mid anymore.
2015: gutted...like a fish. Not that he didn't deserve it, but that's what it looks like to me.
Guy Fox Teemo4 votesThe entire POINT of fizz is to kill you instantly all they did was nerf the insta kill damage he can do constantly without his ult. If they nerfed his overall damage and didn't let him burst someone in 1 second flat. Fizz would be a piece of shit.
Snarflaz3 votesFizz is skilled in dealing TONS of damage, like an assassin. If they add this nerf he won't really be much of an assassin anymore.
If he doesn't have his ult he can't kill anyone, and the opposing team will just target him for free kills. The nerf is just too much.
Diostukos1 votesI won't mind the damage amp on R at all if they change one little thing:
Make Fizz's Q no longer apply on-hit affects.
All I ask, Riot, and then he'll be fine.
Lord Dusteon1 votesSo you're saying "Well, he lost a large chunk of his burst unless he ulted first. QQ HE CAN ULT SOMEONE AND DO COMPARABLE DAMAGE TO WHAT HE DID HE WASN'T NERFED JUST BECAUSE HE CAN'T KILL ANYONE WITHOUT THE SHARK NOW"
Zair Umbras1 votesUm. o.o Only his unavoidable burst was nerfed. His fish still has all its damage, his E has all of it's damage, and now his R has an amp. He won't one shot with just a Q and W, but he'll be perfectly fine. We've seen much, much worse nerfs before. Like Eve's nerfs after S2 World's.
Unironic SJW1 votesImagine if Zed didn't have his oppressive laning phase (instead one of the worst in the game) and his highly counterable ultimate he needs in order to do damage was a skillshot? That's Fizz now.
Spinothalamic1 votesThis was a substantial nerf to fizz. Don't just fixate on the amplified damage, focus on the halved AP ratios on Q and AA nerfs too
DEmperor951 votesSeems like Fizz can still assassinate you off
Hmm, because he is an assassin and this is his job? Lol.
At least he needs skill to land the fish to successfully assassinate. And after that, he won't be able to do as much damage to everyone else beside the target he ulted. So yeah, the nerfs are pretty good and make him kinda healthy and outplayable, and not just one shotting people with Q whenever it's off cooldown even after missing his ult at the start of the fight.
