Why nobody plays AD Fizz?

AD Fizz has been nerfed a long time ago; his bases have been nerfed and his ult no longer amplifies physical damage. However, recent changes made AD Fizz viable once again. The first of them is item 3124 - this is THE new core item of AD Fizz. With that, Fizz can more than compensate his bases being nerfed, as he scales insanely well with AP, and this item alone gives AD Fizz everything that he needs. AP, AD, attack speed, an on-hit effect... This item even allows him to play like AP Fizz early, thanks to his enormous powerspike with AP.

Then there are also the masteries. He can go with Fervor, having even more dueling potential, or Grasp of the Undying, having even more sustain.

Finally, item 3025 has been changed and it is now a much better item for AD Fizz, allowing him to finally reach 40% CDR when combined with runes and a Visage, without resorting to Frozen Heart. This item gives more damage to Fizz and a very good slowing effect.

AD Fizz is insane as of now. I play him and he is super powerful and thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade he is now capable of scaling well at the late game. The only reason why I think that people don't play him is that he is hard countered by some top laners, currently. For example, Fiora. She is the worst matchup that you can think of as AD Fizz. Darius is also a pain. Jax also scales well with Guinsoo and he can outduel Fizz pretty well.

item 3748 item 3078 /item 3025 item 3742 item 3053 item 3065 working wonderfully like tank Akali and you don't need rageblade. He is a great off-meta pick against tanks, but right now probably outshined by others like Fiora Gangplank if you want an offensive/dueling focused top laner.

The reason why Rageblade is a great pick is because it provides with Fizz everything he needs to be a powerful dueling champion. It even allows him to work as an assassin during the early/mid game (not late game as his damage will not scale well enough to allow him to burst someone late game)

Also, it provides waveclear, allowing AD Fizz to splitpush.

My build tends to be item 3124 item 3153 boots item 3025 item 3065 item 3742

The reason why I use Spirit Visage, even though Fizz does not have natural sustain, is that thogether with CDR per level runes and Iceborn Gauntlet, I complete 40% cooldown reduction. This allows Fizz to use his E much more times, having more mobility, and also providing him with unparalled dueling power (very few champions can outduel him, Fiora, Master Yi, and Jax are among of the few of them, Vayne too but you must be very skilled with her) also he can engage more times thanks to his ult being avaliable more times.
