Even Fizz, when built full tank, is disgusting as hell

I've just had a game where I was playing as Fizz. The reason for that was because I wanted to test a theory. Since Ekko is currently considered to be very strong with a full tank build rushing item 3068 item 3025 and having Grasp of the Undying as a mastery, then Fizz can also be strong with that same build.

I was correct. Once I finished Sunfire Cape, not only I could push for days, but I could kill the enemy Gangplank and Lee Sin easily with that build. Even if I couldn't kill them, the tankyness offered by Sunfire Cape allowed me to survive and escape, something I couldn't do with an AD/hybrid dueling build or a full AP build.

I used to build top lane Fizz with item 3124 item 3153 item 3009 item 3742 item 3025 item 3065 but now I will just play him full tank, with item 3068 item 3025 item 3009 item 3001 item 3742 item 3143. The latter build is tankier both early game (since I will be rushing tanky items) and late game (since I will build purely tanky).

Compared to the AD/hybrid dueling focused build, I lose the ability to kill opposing duelists, juggernauts, and tanks. Compared to the full AP build, I lose the ability to instantly 100-0 squishies. However, the full tank build not only has immediate tankyness, but it still does the job of killing squishies, this time giving them a slow and painful death, with the fact that Fizz is difficult to peel.

It is disgusting how I am able to build Sunfire Cape and Iceborn Gauntlet on essentially any champion and be able to kill squishies while being hard to kill myself. This wouldn't be a serious problem if tanks were doing that, but it's the assassins who are using that build to wreak avoc.

We're you around mid season 5 where everyone was playing bruiser AD tank Fizz due to the stupidity that was patch 5.4? I promise you that Fizz is more annoying than tank fizz right now.

Eh, you know, i had this same idea today.

But it's not really true you can build IBG on any champ. Fizz Q + IBG is similar to Ez + IBG.

Sheen items on fizz is hardly "new meta".

I was just trying to test if it is really true that any champion can be broken with Sunfire + Iceborn + Grasp

Fizz is similar to Ekko in that he is an AP assassin with tons of mobility, and has synergy with Sheen. So I just had to test this build on him.

Trinity force will give you better dueling potential. "Tank" Fizz was trinity, frozen heart, spirit visage, bork, randuins - this was last season.

Oh no. Tanky damage items might make it hard for an ADC to three hit you.

Sounds like everything is working as intended.
