"Wtf I shit on Fizz in lane and he was 169 cs behind, but he oneshot me without counterplay"

Penns··17 votes·1,567 views

I see this a lot but 1) thats what assassins do, especially Fizz as he has 0 ranged poke unlike any other assassin in the game. Doesnt matter that you are 4/0 when you built Morello and Ludens against him, "winning lane" doesnt make you tanky.

And 2) There is counterplay, his ult is a skillshot and he needs it to kill you. It also has 2 seconds delay before it does damage, his E and Q are possible to outplay/dodge too. Sure he can wait 2 seconds after hitting his ult and kill you "instantly" with a W proc, but he still has to land a high cooldown skillshot before doing it.

If thats a problem, you might as well say "Zed hit a double/triple Q on me and Death Mark is going to kill me, now there is no counterplay to him" lol.

But then you realize he has natural anti-creep block (perpetually ghosted), has the smallest hit-box in the game, can build tanky to an extent, has an invulnerability, multiple gap closers and escapes, and has an ult that get bigger and stronger the farther it travels and realize that they might have a point.

So.. literally just listing everything in a champions kit that isnt overloaded at all and lacks many things like meaningful range or utility makes them have a point?

It's gameplay in a nutshell. List all their strengths, list 0 negatives, claim that they are op, ..., collect upvotes.

don't forget to exaggerate or even make up situations and present them as literal truths

"omg lv.10 fizz tanked 7 turrets shots and walked out with at least half hp still"

Its untargetability.... not invulnerability. If he gets ignited and jumps up he still takes dmg

Marshbouy3 votes

It also doesn't break tethers. It's pretty funny to watch him troll poll a karma W only to still be rooted when he comes back down.

It just amazes me how people don't read abilities on champions before complaining

Killing everyone while having 40 cs and a Sheen at 20 mins is kinda too strong

It would be.. luckily he cant do that lol.

If by "everyone" you mean Soraka and 4 afk's, then yea. Everyone.

Eh, I despise fishmidget, but thinking he shouldn't be able to kill you because you have a CS lead is silly. He's not exactly capable of farming against most midlaners, so he functions with a lower gold amount to make up for it.l

Doesnt matter that you are 4/0 when you built Morello and Ludens against him, "winning lane" doesnt make you tanky.

exactly. At most you are going to have maybe 100 more hp and 7 more MR.

Arakadia1 votes

Well with 170cs lead and four kills, you should be way too ahead for that.

You know, I used to hate dying to Fizz. I used to think Fizz was the most retarded, unfair, shittiest example of champion design in the game. But now whenever I die to him, I can only go "Oh fuck, that was 100% my bad". If you shit on Fizz in lane and die to him after, it's 100% because you underestimated him.

This "assassin" you speak of builds tank half the time and can just press W to chunk everyone to death. I'd love to see Leblanc Akali Rengar Khazix Zed Shaco KassadinKatarina Talon try to build Sunfire/Triforce and just auto-attack.

Slythion3 votes

did you not know of Fizz's nerfs that specifically targeted the tank build? It's not that great anymore

Actually fizzes dont build half tank anymore, since it was kinda like, nerfed.

That's why I said half of the time and not all of the time.

Assassins dont just kill you. Name another assassin that can be 0/4 with a single item done that can do that lol. a 100 farm zed couldnt even kill an adc at 20 minutes, why should any of them be able to.

Penns4 votes

Youmus Zed can do that, Youmus Talon, Kat, LB and Akali with Gunblade, every assassin. If Zed cant kill an adc at min 20 then that adc either bought armor or the Zed fucked up/got outplayed lol.

wei2701 votes

yeah 100 farm zed at 20 mins can kill adc even if the adc is higher lvl as long as he is lvl 11, you can try it in custom mode

I dont think Fizz R is that high of a cooldown....its basically up by the time I get back to lane from killing oyu the first time...

Fed by Snu Snu3 votes

If it's ok for Fizz to insta-kill someone when 170 cs behind, then I expect Maokai to be reverted and every tank to get a % dmg reduction skill.

Because if assassins are supposed to be able to do their job even when they lose their lane, then so should tanks.

He is not OP. He is incredibly frustrating to play against and melts the fun of playing this game. The problem is not that he is too strong. It's that apart from Fizz players everybody fucking hates to even think of him.

Penns2 votes

Mostly lower elo players that cant and/or dont want to learn how to play against him.

Which is fine by me, hate him if you want to, but dont say he should be nerfed because you refuse to build any defense against like the most all in focused champ in the game while not being able to outplay him, especially when theres dozens of stronger champs lol.

I started my comment with saying that i don't think he is OP. You still talk about champion strenght and me wanting to get him nerfed. So let me try again. Fizz is not OP. Got it this time?

I don't hate him because of that okay? I am not getting annoyed because he is too strong but it seems that anyone who tries to defend him just cannot fucking understand this. No i don't think that he needs nerfs. I don't think there aren't stronger champs. I didn't say anything like that. I said that he was incredibly unfun to play against. It's not fun when he is winning lane and it's not fun when i am winning lane. Even if i am stomping him i don't have fun playing against him. His kit makes me want to hang myself in seconds. The gapclosers the untargetability the fucking bleed damage... His voice his appearance the way he fucking moves. Everything about this champion is just fucking annoying. Everything. I don't think he is too strong no. He can even be shit on in lane. But i just cannot enjoy laning against him no matter what.

Penns1 votes

I wasnt talking about you, "hate him if you want to" was meant to be me talking to "x guy" that complains about Fizz being broken.

I mean, I understand it, but for me its pretty fun to lane against Fizz. That might be just because I main him but imo its kind of a fun challenge but also freelo even if I fuck up, even if I give him a kill at level 3 or something I just build my Hexdrinker or Banshees and watch him cry lol.

Did you mean the assassin rework

From what I've seen his ult has a really weird hitbox though...

Like I've had ults where it looked like it in no way should've hit me, but then all of a sudden attaches to me from the area next to me.

If I were to draw a line that shows where the ult was going it would not have been on me

Joxcab2 votes

But... his ultimate hitbox was severely nerfed a few months ago.

And now it's literally easier to whiff it than land it with how small it is.

Arakadia1 votes

Unless your mobile, or the fizz is blind, you will almost NEVER be able to dodge a Fizz E.

And why should you be allowed to do your job when you lost lane so badly as to die 0/4 and be 170 cs behind.
