I can't stand to play against him. Is he broken right now? A genuine question because I haven't really played League in a while and I come back to this monstrosity. He feels worse to play against than before.

He's got great tools for punishing a wide range of things, but because of this falls into basically two predictable patterns-- jump in, or jump out. Unfortunately for a staggering amount of Fizz players, they pick one or the other.

Patience, some CC and an MR build or two are about all it takes to stop Fizz. Champions like Twisted Fate who get direct agency over a targeted stun are fantastic against him. Play him yourself, learn his cooldowns and use those as references to know what kind of mobility he has.

Fizz got a lot of changes that pushed him further toward an AP burst and away from any other elements in his kit, so he's got a lot of damage that stacks up quickly and has all the needed resources by level 3 to pull all of it off and escape, if he's clever. He enjoys synergy with the entire roster of AP itemization as well as stranger options like Iceborn, but ultimately all of Fizz' strength is in how susceptible his opponent is to the jump, whether as an escape or an engage.

As for balance-- he could probably serve to have higher cooldowns and maybe slightly tightened ranges. There are worse offenders.
