Why Nerf Ekko And Fizz Instead Of The Items That Make Them Strong?

You are nerfing two AP ASSASSINS because they are good tanks right now. The issue is the items and Grasp of the Undying. Sunfirecape/Bami's cinder makes Grasp of the Undying have a 100% uptime when you are near minions, and since Ekko and Fizz both have dashes that apply on hit effects, they abuse this. The changes you are making to both of these champions are hurting their primary role (Assassin) way more then it is hurting their tank role so if you want them both to be primarily tanks, go ahead and lay them nerfs down. Do you think a fizz with 5 tank items and boots is going to care if you take 2 seconds off of his e? I don't think so. How about AP assassin fizz? Yep thats going to fucking maul him. If you want to see AP assassin fizz be viable pick in competitive league of legends ever again, these nerfs will not help. He hasn't even been competitively viable since season 3. Now he is a niche pick without the upcoming nerfs. I would talk about ekko but I don't feel like I know enough about him. If you think I am defending him because I play a lot of fizz and I am crying about him getting nerfed, I haven't played one Fizz game in over 100 games and I play marksman 90% of the time so I really won't mind if the nerfs go through.

Downvoted within 5 seconds of posting this. Why would you even go on the boards if you don't even bother to read the posts before you decide whether you like them or not >.>

Edit: After looking at your post history do you only give negative feedback?

20 minutes, 5 downvotes, 0 legitimate arguments. The gameplay board seems to be actually helpless. People can just downvote posts without even reading them or telling the OP what is flawed about their post. I think I'm done here since my time has been completely wasted expecting some type of legitimate responses to my thoughts.

Defending the freelos are never welcomed here, no matter what you say. It's like reading a thread title that says "2+2=5" and we just had to downvote it right away without reading the context why.

Fizz's E is getting nerfed because the CD was far to low at max rank for just how strong of a skill it is (not exactly by damage, but by use) Since Fizz can and always easily builds 40% CDR (some times 45%) his E goes down to 4.6 seconds which is insane.

Ekko...was getting AP ratio increases to make up for it for AP Ekko. Though the duration of the stun hits both pretty hard but I don't know if he really needed a 2.25 second AoE stun anyways...

When Ekko Fizz are really the only 2 assassins abusing it, why nerf the items and screw over all the tanks? So you are suggesting to nerf the items which screw over mulitple tanks and other champions just to save 2 assassins that is arguably one of the most annoying people to face, from minor nerfs?

Balance the OP champs. Then make a fish sandwich for lunch.
