5.2 and Fizz (RIP)

So this patch held a a lot of surprises for everyone especially with the removal of DFG. I can honestly say i could care less about DFG but the Fizz nerf has really got me torn. As a Fizz lover boy I'll be the first to admit that his wq combo was over powered. There it is i said it. It could blow a squishy's face out the back of their skull and i loved it. Before this patch, this combo had a combined ap ratio of (.85) (without lichbane) and now has a whopping (.3). I think that's a little severe. BUT DON'T WORRY all you fizz lovers. You can still do ALMOST the same amount of damage, but you only have a six second window about once a minute. Oh and did I mention you have to land a slow moving skill shot first? Okay so maybe I'm a little butt hurt. I played a few matches with Fizz to assess the damage and I actually didn't do too bad. However i was forced to adjust my play style (which was exactly what riot wants from this patch) and those games weren't as fun.

My point is that riot wants champion diversity and i believe this patch went in the wrong direction. They turned Fizz's signature move into just another ability. I understand there are power balance issues, but there are other ways to go about it other than cutting Fizz's fish nuts off.
