So. remember when people were salty that building AD/bruiser was good on fizz? then you reverted his w passive and modified his ult to kill it?

well... i actually built AD fizz before that. why? sustain. sustain is incredibly overpowered on champs like fizz. sure, you saccd a bit of burst, but triforce helped you stick to targets and escape even easier.

enter item 3146 rework.

no reason to build AD anymore! you can have burst, dps, AND sustain.

item 3100 item 3115 item 3285 item 3116 item 3146 item 1330

essentially creates an identical play pattern to the old AD/bruiser fizz, with added burst.

do we plan on addressing this? or are you gunna let me freelo early season?

There was already no reason to build AD on fizz.

I don't see how sustain would be good on Fizz. By that, I mean, better than other stats. Old gunblade provided very similar stats, and Fizz benefited of spellvamp and lifesteal pretty much just as well as he does from that new heal passive. And it was kinda garbage on old fizz, so it's probably not that good now.

Sustain is good if you're tanky (resists) enough to make it a strong battle stat, if it's on an insane value (with gunblade, you're not gonna heal anywhere as much as an ADC with crit build + BT).

On a squishy assassin champion that can get easily bursted, I don't feel like average sustain would be any good.

Also, you misunderstood why Fizz was played AD. In fact he wasn't built "AD", a better word would be bruiser. He built triforce/full tank or triforce/botrk/full tank. Indeed, his W was changed to deal %health damage at each hit and not in a dot. So that basically made botrk insane on him. Triforce was already very good. Also, his ult amplified those damages. Fizz AD relied on his base damage and %health and could basically kill pretty much anyone with only 2 offensive items, and he could build tanky afterwhile and still be a very hard to burst damage threat. It has nothing to do with being able to sustain.
