Cornercase: Zilean Timebomb with Fizz Playful/Trickster

This is a cornercase interaction that I would like to see changed, simply because the way things are now is very unintuitive. My complaint is that if a Zilean bomb is stuck directly on Fizz, then Fizz is in his Playful when it detonates, the bomb will explode as normal, doing damage to all enemies in an AoE... except for Fizz himself. Fizz is not supposed to be immune to damage while in his Playful, merely untargetable. This is a cornercase interaction that I believe is exclusive to Fizz and Zilean, but I think it should be changed because it doesn't make sense the way it is.

To clarify what I want, if a Zilean bomb is on the ground or on anything other than Fizz, Fizz should still be able to dodge the explosion. However, if the bomb is stuck directly to Fizz' face, Playful shouldn't help him dodge the damage, and the bomb would deal AoE damage around Fizz all the same.

I think being "untargetable" shouldn't mean dodging non- targeted aoe abilities in general.

Fizz is already garbage right now. That change would make him beyond Urgot/Now Kassadin tier

Not saying that nerf should be applied. I mean Riot should be more specific when writing these ability descriptions.

Zilean Bomb doesn't explicitly deal damage to the target it's attached to, it deals damage to a targeted area that happens to be centered around that unit. Playful Trickster makes Fizz unable to be targeted by new effects but still vulnerable to existing debuffs.

Since it doesn't negate existing debuffs, Zilean's Bomb still explodes dealing damage in the area around Fizz, but since Fizz cannot be targeted by ground effects, he takes no damage.
