I would actually like to be able to pick him without him being perma ban
Let players get used to his new W , his low winrate right now is not indicative of anything.
Or are you trying to buff him up to ridiculous levels right before akali's release so nobody notices how broken she is?
DrDidit1 voteswhat are you talknng about? He was fine where he was at and the winrate is reasons why the w sucks. It's a huge nerf. Lower dmg and puts fizz in a vulnerable position.
Dracocrash1 votesa low winrate doesnt mean his W sucks, It just means people are still getting used to him.
His W is a little unintuitive compared to the old one, give it time, if fizz still needs buffs after a patch or two, then he can get them.
Let me explain to you exactly how this is going to go down, the way riot has it:
fizz gets buffed ->hes broken now -> banrate goes up by 30% -> people on boards are complaining like rabbits -> Instead of reverting fizz buffs riot will nerf fizz-> hes now an ult bot thats no fun to play.
I hope I'm wrong, but I really dont think i am.
DrDidit1 votesYeah you're right, the game needs to play out to see the winrate. It's jst, to me, that the play style of the old fizz was to controversial because the on hit was either too strong or too weak. Too strong because it caused bruiser Fizz's to come out (which low elo players hated, and they hold the majority) and caused Fizz's ad scaling to go down as a nerf to prevent it) and if the damage was too buffed the Fizz would be annoying to peel off with the constant/burst damage. Yet, if the damage was too weak, Fizz has to stand there and auto a few more times to get the kill. This makes him vulnerable for open punishing attacks as a melee.(which is happening right now). The old w worked because it worked with the old rune system. Fizz was able to have early Defense runes which allowed him to auto more. Unfortunately, that meta is gone. Fizz is punished harder for going in for an attack. Also, the Mark w was a balance so that Fizz has to Mark to do harmful dmg(not proc'ing the w would not stop you from doing decent damage) as part of the Assassin patch. Again, The Assassin patch made Fizz less into a bruiser and more into an assassin. With that he was a Nimble Assassin. Not a Melee Bruiser. But if this is what the community wants. . . . . I too see that trend and its unfortunate. Balancing Champs must be frustrating xD
