Xayah vs Fizz (Mid)

In this fizz vs xayah matchup, xayah wins landing phase, no doubt (and should carry the game). After 6 she'll have to play entirely more safely because she can be bursted by fizz although her ult can cancel out fizz's out due to the invulnerable part. This Xayah probably hasn't played her a lot in mid, being that she used her q to cs more than poke, which can eventually drain mana whereas it would be much more efficient for just autoing. She also didn't use her auto feathers to her advantage as it offers more poke without using mana (think of it like Jhin's bullets, time them well and you win trades easily). When Xayah used her w, it wasn't well timed, plus instead of using it on the minions wave, she tried chasing you (which failed). If there's a Xayah mid and she's constantly putting out q's, eventually she'll e for the damage on the wave, which can actually hurt your cs more than it helps (different amount of feathers will hit minions causing an unknown amount of damage to any other minion you weren't focusing). Plus when she e's (assuming she's already q'ed) her mana will go down, so abuse that. Xayah only has her root as cc, so roaming for her shouldn't be easy being that she has to be in range to land an auto for a feather then her q (adding up to three feathers) for a root. It's best that you stay in lane and farm and tell your teammates she's mia. If she doesn't get the gank off, it will hurt her more than anything being that she's missed cs and you've gotten some damage on the turret. Just remember that she is EXTREMELY vulnerable to ganks without her ult (even then it's a bit fishy, no pun intended). Just remember she's an ADC, not a typical assassin midlaner so she's squishy (abuse that) and she pokes out of this world. She also can't carry if all four members of her team are feeding (because in reality, a squishy will get smashed by say a 12/1/4 Riven). After landing phase, she's just another ADC, so treat her with care. Here are some last few tips of going against her:

-Stay behind her feathers if there's 3+ (it may cost you cs but imagine her rooting you and then getting ganked by ww's ult -She has almost no mobility -If she's fed, she can probably 1v1 anyone on your team (depending who on your team is doing well or not)

Hope that ^ helps someone in their game ^.^

(If the formatting seems a bit off it's because it was purposely targeted at one individual but I decided to share this with the rest of the community (cause why not) '-')

Thank you for this random bit of information. In any case I feel like buying Xayah, I will do so, and be sure to play and counter pick Fizz using her and do exactly what you said.

Now I will go make a post and do Jhin VS Fizz mid.
