Fizz is boring and linear now

For a long time I thought Fizz needed nerfs. But I didn't think that they would nerf his gameplay to become really boring. People have started playing him bruiser with trinity force now because of how boring it is to rely on your ult to burst someone. His ult looks pretty cool but it's clunky and it's easy to dodge. Also it has a wide radius so you can't exactly thread it between their front line to latch onto the ADC. In comparison it's much easier to land a thresh hook on a priority target.

They put his power into his ult which didn't even characterize the champ. E should be on a higher cooldown and I think making Q a dodgeable spell is a step in the right direction. I agree with the grievous wounds nerf. They just made a champ that just isn't as flexible as Zed. There's no reason to pick him over Zed.

Because having six ways (on four skills) to one-shot your enemy wasn't boring for the enemy.

Oh look it's Fizz. There's nothing I can do I'm dead no matter what

Perhaps a CD reduction on his ult to make it more forgiving?

Something like 75/60/45. Or just copy talons at 75/65/55 since he does favor some CDR already.

I think the damage shift is fine. He needed it. But he does very obviously need some buffs to compensate.

The point is, both champs should have pros and cons and different styles of gameplay. Right now they just made them the same but Fizz is just not as good. I don't care if they nerf him but there's really no point in playing him if he has such a linear playstyle. Land ult > W > Q in possibly gapclose with E or escape with E.

They should just take the damage amplification off of his ult and just nerf his numbers. Also there's nothing more boring than autoattack bruiser fizz which is now what people have started playing him as.

Yeah, there's no reason to pick him over Zed because Zed is still bullshit, while Fizz is now simply "annoying." You're complaining about a champion that got gutted because he isn't good at everything like Zed is? Give me a break. You sound like such a freelo whiner. He plays more or less the same, he just now has some semblance of counterplay, is more ultimate reliant, and isn't guaranteed to snowball once he roams.
