Fizz updates

With the preliminary fizz updates on the pbe, i am sorely disappointed. With the current numbers, fizz will be one of the worst champions in league. The direction taken was the wrong direction to go. His cds are waaaaay too high for being a pure melee champion and having to wait two seconds to do damage as a squish melee with no resets and port backs will not cut it late game.

Tank build will be the only viable build to go. Adcs 2 shot you in under 1 second and they can qss the dot if you go ap. Shark increasing damage with distance makes me laugh. It's one of the slowest skill shots in league. Any good player wont be hit by it unless u q and then shark bit now the damage is greatly nerfed and it's now a 2 second delay on any damage. And you also lost the damage amp without increasing his damage anywhere else. There is no way ap builds support him living for 2 seconds outside zhonyas and adc would have healed all the front damage by then anyway and gotten away from you.

The w change for early game lane was not needed, he easily already gets every cs with the current version w active. His lane phase is NOT better in the slightest. Range will harass him out of lane still, same horrible early game cds and now he has to expend MORE mana over the wave to get the same cs as before (40 for wave vs 90). If you were going to help fix his poor lane, this is actually an overall lane nerf, not a buff.

Now in addition to being bad early as usual, his late game will be atrocious. There is no way this current ap build works with current ap itemization. You should have freed damage from e to allow him to get in and out of fights like other assassins who not only have range basic abilities but get free resets or portbacks. E is a 6 second cd and now will be 100% be forced to use it for damage in order to do any damage at all.

Meanwhile as a pure melee, every single ability can be dodged and fizz can't aim where to target his q. W at least gave him damage when enemies zhonyad his damage or dodged his abilities while he waited for his medium cds in melee.

I'm on my phone at work typing this so i can't discuss in detail right now why he will be the most underpowered champion league has seen in a long time at current iteration. As a fizz main with 6k games with him makes me sad and considering leaving league if this current iteration is even close to the final form. They changed the wrong parts and gave nothing in return for losing 1/4 of his kit besides a 2 second melee delay extra damage boost. Old w autos as ap did more damage in that timeframe.

I'm really confused, riot said he had enough delay in kit, wanted to improve his lane phase, make him the hardest to peel since he's pure melee and showcase his initiation and the exact opposite has been been done.
