I got Fizz as my mystery champ. Right as I finished my AS Jungle rune page.

I guess I've faced so much cancer that I've become one with the cancer.

Ah yes, what we refer to as the "asshole" build.

Zenthon Prime23 votes

Wait, if that's the asshole build, then what is every other Fizz build?

EvilRabbitt23 votes

The "I wish I was rude enough to be an asshole" build?

SpecterVonBaren6 votes

How many asshole builds do we have in this game?!

Zenthon Prime8 votes

The answer to that question is the same as the answer to "How many Fizz builds are there?"

The sad thing is that, while Fizz has a horrible design based on using untargetability to deny counterplay... many recent champions have had even worse design, to the point Fizz almost seems "fair".

You know, that pretty much sums up my exact thought pattern coming into this thread. I walked in like "hey, fizz really isn't all that bad... well, compared to some others... you know... the new ones."

I was just about to say that he isn't as bad as some new champs when I read that. :o

Fizz is pretty high skill

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll get the "low damage utility assassin" concept down this time. No chance they'll f*ck it up and make another equally hated-

He meant the idea of a "Low damage assassin" was stupid.

Pretty sure no champion is intended that way.

I've never wanted a champion to be actually removed from the game more than that grundle sucking little shit eater.

Fizz Look at that smirk. Fuck you.

My problem with Fizz is that his "weak" early game is mitigated by just running flask + 3 red pots. He becomes unkillable -.-

Nameless Voice4 votes

Flask-potions start - the bane of the mana-using harasser.

TheUltimateSpear9 votes

He's just infuriating to play against. In mid lane he can literally throw himself at the enemy mid and do it again and again until they're low enough to be killed because his W gives so much free damage.

I'm not sure about other roles, but with his untargetability, execute % damage, and two gapclosers I'm sure he's just as obnoxious.

Anidan9 votes

An ability can't give you 'free damage', it's taking up an ability slot to do that damage.

As a Fizz player, though, I agree: He's pretty damn frustrating to go up against. But pretty much every assassin is frustrating to play against. The only time they aren't is when they're outright underpowered, at which point it's frustrating to play as them. But they're a necessary evil. C'est la vie.

Sona Ping6 votes

But they're necessary

Debatable. Very Debatable.

Laraso6 votes

My biggest problem with Fizz is that he can gapclose a distance of like 10 flashes. And if he's fed and you're anywhere within that ten flash range, you're dead.

Dingding1236 votes

Anyone with a move that essentially says: "Dodge anything" follwed by "AoE Damage" is pretty stupid.

Aaravos6 votes

Actually i feel his design to be successful. Annoying and fustrating for sure, but he is an assasin/fighter and he need to be like that. He need to have tools to dive the back line and stay alive otherwise the champion design is a failure. I also think after they gutted his insane lich bane powerspike he is more or less balanced. In competitve sceene he is a viable pick, while in soloq he is strong, but not insane (48-50% win rate). There is no reason to touch him, he has strenght and weaknesses also. It is fustrating to play agains him, but it's not a reason for nerf ot rework. It it would be then more than half of the champion pool should get a rework. Also he is viable in multiple roles what is another success, since he bring nice strategic diversity to the game. So yeah i think his design is not the best but fine and successful after the nerfs. I protecting Fizz so i ready for downvotes. (Kappa)

I say GUT Fizz.

get it? he's a fish..

Starcall Casey5 votes

Fizz, like any other assassin, bursts people down when they land their abilities. The only reason fizz isn't trash tier yorick status is because of that E of his, although it's strong, it has an insanely high mana and it's his only real damage ability. Fizz as a champion has only all-in damage, no poke, every ability can be dodged (even his Q). It's either he has the damage or he's dead. every other assassin in this game has a better early than him.

Cats Are Food4 votes

You manage to dodge his Targetted Q? Do Explain.

Starcall Casey7 votes

If you have any sort of dash or even 440+ move speed you can move out of the way of his Q and it actually won't do any damage to you. Most people who hate on fizz don't actually know anything about him and never played him either. Sad days when they complain about a champ that's in a good spot and even on the worse side of assassins since he has way more pronounced weaknesses then others.

Hate Fizz? Play Nautilus. No fish is too slippery for that guy.

Kosm1K3 votes

he'll just troll pole your ult

Glory to God3 votes

You don't really start with your ult as Nautilus though. It may be just an opinion but you should do a Q-Passive-R combo for a complete lock down. Edit: GTFO Nudalee I meant Naut.

I'd honestly rather go against Ekko . He's annoying, but he never gets to that oppressive level most assassins get to.

Fizz is way worse to play against, but I don't see anyone complain about him as much. When this board was losing their mind over Ekko a few weeks ago Fizz still existed...

He goes invincible on every viable skillshot and make it to where you exhaust your resources so you cant fight him anymore. You literally have to read his reads and outplay him that way. A very difficult task for lower skill player to achieve.

Fizz is counterable just like any other assassin, though he can be infuriating because he's an assassin, people are complaining "OH NO HE DOES DAMAGE!" when that's what he and all other assassins are designed specifically to do, but "HE'S SUPER MOBILE" again, what assassins are designed to do. I agree that riot should not have made AD and tank fizz a thing, but people will always complain about the assassin build for some reason. Here are a few ways to counter assassin Fizz (or avoid playing against it)

  1. Gank him early (at early levels his E which gives him .5 seconds of untargetability on a 13 second cooldown)
  2. Play around his E (If it's up don't go in)
  3. Ban him
  4. Camp him
  5. Pick Morgana or Kayle or another counter
  6. pick point and click lockdown
Lugg3 votes

The problem with Fizz is his E, pure and simple. It is on a ridiculously low CD for one of the best abilities in the game. It is actually better than a lot of the ultimates. He avoids all damage with it and it does excellent AoE damage. He can easily use it 3+ times in a teamfight. This makes incredibly safe and incredibly hard to gank. That is why he is so toxic.

Manwalrus2 votes

Almost all assassins have unique ways of dashing around that deal more damage (Leblanc Ekko Akali Ahri Diana among others) It's how assassins are designed, Fizz is being scapegoated because his give him untargetability but all assassin dashes have some special effect and you have to play around that, Fizz is just another example.

Calabok4 votes

Thanks but I like him over a grill with some lemon..

Cats Are Food4 votes

Here is the solution to Fizz. Magic Resist. If he's AD and jungle you still need MR. What seems to be a failure of understanding is that Fizz is easily shut down by either hard targeted CC or by magic resist. Every skill he has is magic damage. He can become an ineffectual little nuisance if, as soon as you see him on the other team, you exchange one item you planned on having for some MR. HP won't save you against him when he is AD unlike other ADC, however when he is AP it will.

You merely have to adjust your play style because he is on the board... I'm absolutely certain no one ever does that for any other champion. Who cares if there is a Karthus, Nasus, Blitzcrank, Thresh... wait we adjust for those without complaint.

EDIT: HP won't save you when he is AD because he will have a BotRK and his W, he will kill you just as efficiently with or without HP, sorta like Vayne.

KayleeT4 votes

I think the fact that his passive is absolutely garbage makes up for it

Sassmast3r3 votes

Yet another prime example of why we need 1 ban per player, so that people like you and me who have distinct hatred for a specific champion (mine being Yasuo) have the opportunity to ensure that we can still have slight fun while playing a game.

ÁCTION IS COMING3 votes

You see you put annie mid lane and there is no more fizz. Annie counters any and all assassins

Lordofthepittt3 votes

Fizz doesn't even do alot of damage. The only thing I HATE about him is his troll pole. Its ridiculous. He just troll poles under tower after he is done ulting you, avoiding TONS of damage in the process. You will probably die and he will walk away pretty unscathed and then rinse and repeat all damn game. Can barely even gank him unless he is at your tier 2 tower, because he will just troll pole back under his.
