Who is Fizz to you?

I've seen a lot of threads around the boards complaining about Fizz. More recently, the complaints have focused on his AD/tank build, but there were plenty of pitchforks and torches about his AP build as well, back before it was heavily nerfed.

Who do you think a champion named Fizz, the Tidal Trickster, should be? What is his core identity? How do you think this identity can be translated to an in-game playstyle that is both fun for the player and fair for their opponent?


Edit*: The consensus in the thread seems to be that AD fizz is closer to a trickster identity than AP fizz. Do you think AD fizz is good as-is? If not, how would you tweak him?

It would be fun for everyone if he was simply deleted

I think if they just removed his Invulnerability on his E he would be much easier to balance.. just my 2¢

What is/was Fizz for me: *The stupid Champ which i thought to be far to save considering his role until Zed apppeared! *-.-

No, for real - obviously, i dont like Fizz, i never liked him, and this probably will never change. Main reason: E! (Capclosing untargetablility with huge AoE DMG is enough for a whole kit xD (Just like Zed R, basicly)). ATM Fizz is at least OK to deal with because he needs some time to land his AA´s and he needs to lower your health before his DMG goes crazy.

Actually this playstyle: Using his TrollPole and Q to move through the Teamfight while landing AA´s on lowHP Targets and trying to disable High-Prio-Targets with his R is quite cool! (ATM His DPS against Tanks is just to much ^^)

SO: "AD"-Fizz feels a lot better than its AP counterpart - at least to play against. ^^

I think Fizz should be a scrappy/slippery light fighter (AD or AP; I don't care which), not an assassin. I greatly prefer dealing with AD Fizz over pre-nerf AP Fizz. He's mobile and dodgy, but he's not instagibbing you at level 3 before moving on to slaughter your team every time he lands his ultimate.

A nimble fighter. I think he should be slippery, relatively squishy but not too squishy, sustained damage fighter/assassin. AD or AP, doesn't matter to me. I strongly prefer AD fizz > AP fizz because he isn't instagibbing ppl at lvl. 3. In general, mobile AP assassins are OP.

His kit fits his lore fine. Its just 0 fun to go against a champion who's entire identity is making you waste cc trying to hit him then kills you in .5 seconds while taking all your damage.
