Am I the Only one who plays fizz?

Chillbo Swagginz··2 votes·680 views

I have not seen him once since the new season I seem to be the only one who plays him at all. I used to see him pretty often around like a year or maybe a little less ago. Is he not as good now for some reason even though they buffed all assassins? I used to get an average of like 15 per games with him leveling up from 20 to 30 (it took me 3 years to get to level 30 because i would stop playing for long periods of time) but now its lucky for me to reach 10 kills.

Fizz main here. At this point we're in a meta where everything and their grandmother is more durable than Solaire of astora juiced up on Sunny D delight.

No matter how many low elo people want to complain about Fizz being OP because "He dodged my Lux Q" When they telegraphed it so hard that there was literally a strip club style neon sign above their head saying "Press E to dodge this", the fact remains that he and other assassins are comparatively weaker now due to the increased durability stats from itemization as well as the "delayed damage" handicap that Riot slapped on em.

At this point fighter champions are doing everything assassins are supposed to do but doing it better while remaining far more durable. Even ADC's are hilariously more difficult to kill with all of the support itemization boosting shielding and healing over 9000 while even providing shields and heals built into the items.

Prime example of a day in the life of an assassin main. It's late game, You land the PERFECT fizz ulty from max range for max damage and are in range to follow up with Q>W. You activate your combo and.... You get exhausted, ADC gets a redemption, Locket and give or take a face of the mountain thrown on as you realize that you aren't about to even dent this a** hole and then proceed to get brazzer'd by a riven, or a vi, or some other "fighter" that bursts harder than you do.

God f***ing forbid that the support is a karma or janna as you'll feel like the ADC ended up with more health than before you hit them with a full rotation.

Not an ADC with a support that's going full on Oprah with the heals and shields? 1 defensive item is still always enough to completely demolish your burst allowing "fighter" champions to chase you down and counter burst you.

Entire team full on bruiser with an ADC that has their own meatwall of tanky champions that can still out damage you? Welp you can't do anything items wise and most fighters will have an equal amount of mobility/utility to chase you, so you're just kinda f***ed now.

that explains a lot how I have been feeling lately attacking any tank champion is next to useless for me at any point in the game

Flat Magic pen reds, Flat armor yellows, Flat MR blues, and flat Ap quints. I always build a full CDR build so i don't need scaling CDR blues and resistances just help me to survive so many things as well as deal with poke in lane.

Having MR vs magic damage and armor vs physical is standard on any champions rune page but I run both no matter what.

I always build 40% CDR in my items so getting scaling CDR is pointless.

Fizz has one of the worst laning phases of any mid laner by having no safe waveclear and being melee so he's naturally prone to massive amounts of harass. Running MR blues helps with tanking abilities while the armor will help in AD matchups as well as to help against opponents auto attacking me constantly when I go up to last hit a minion.

  1. I see I followed some fizz guides online that reccommened scaling health for blue and yellow they may be better for him specifically. Do you ever get items that are tank items? I usually go for the Morellonomicon than the zonya's hourglass and then the lich bane and finally rabadons deathcap as well as ionian boots of lucidity. Ohhh is that a waste cause my cr is capped at 45%?

Well.... Scaling health yellow is used if you're facing off against AP matchups and you can't use armor yellows. Scaling health blues aren't exactly good and are a waste of slots that could be used for scaling or flat AP. I simple use a tankier setup as it's how I learned fizz and after trying various rune/masteries set ups it just feels the best for me.

I basically always go Lich> Ionian boots> Abyssal Scepter> Hourglass> Void staff> Deathcap. The order is mixed up based on the situation but it otherwise stays the same unless I replace abyssal with Protobelt if I can't use the MR in an efficient manner.

Also, overcapping CDR isn't horrible so don't worry about it. As long as it isn't overcapped by like 20%+ then it's not that massive of a waste.

I see I will try your item build and see how it works I replaced all my tier 3 scaling health blues with tier 2 MR blues and now Im saving up ip for tier 3 MR blues as well as i need 8 more champions to play ranked. Thanks for the advice :)
