My whole reason as to why i think fizz is just ok and what actually makes him strong.
Strengths
1- 
or 
<-- gets rid of his early game weakness of having little to no mana to use his combo. because he has such little mana the potion or biscuits will easily give him enough for another combo or to farm with because he can just use e to farm.
2- CDR is really abundant in this game now and because of this fizz can just take 45% cdr mastery start off with cdr and rush really good items such as 
and easily have maxed cdr.
3- Minion collision is a mess this season and fizz doesn't have to suffer at all because of his passive, q, and e.
4- His ult hitbox is LARGE AS FUCK, He tosses a little ass fish that is probably the same size if not bigger than morgana's Q. Causes a slow upon landing it, and a knock up which temporarily prevents you from running away. For the amount of mobility fizz has i think it would be fair to either remove the knock up or the slow off of his ult if not both. someone so mobile shouldn't have such an easy access to CC (especially when his ult is on a ridiculous cooldown of something like 50 with all this cdr?) and they also need to greatly reduce the hitbox width on the first part of the ult as well.
these four things listed above are what make fizz strong and the only real problem that is actually fizz' fault is reason number 4.
Weaknesses
1- People can negate all of fizz's Q damage by flashing it before he makes contact with your character i believe (something a lot of people don't know because in every fizz complaint thread. "NO COUNTERPLAY Q THAT DOES DAMAGE AHHHHHH")
2- He can be out sustained and poked in lane very easily, if you force him to use his kit defensively then you wont need to worry about him being offensive. he will eventually not have the mana to fight you and will be forced to go away. 
lets not pretend there arent champions who will shit on fizz level 1-3 just because their poke, sustain, or cc will completely fuck up fizz if he engages especially lulu. Lulu is THE number fizz counter.
3- Items in this game can easily prevent fizz from doing his job. 
will safely check unwarded areas for you and slow the target enough to the point running at your team is damn near impossible. 
fizz ult ? what fizz ult? 
<-- will completely negate either the damage of fizz E or Q and will completely prevent fizz ult from doing anything to you provided you walk out of the circle because that shark is going to come out no matter what.
4- HIS E IS A SKILLSHOT STOP STANDING UNDER IT. Everybody bitches and complains about fizz E yet they refuse to run away from him when he activates it. sure he can cast it again to change where he is landing but if im not mistaken the hitbox is WAY smaller if he uses the second cast i think its like 3 teemos in an aoe area big, and if he doesn't use the second cast he can only fall within 2 maybe 3 teemos away from where he originally landed?
5- yall need to learn how to respect mias. if you know fizz is coming stop trying to out play him and die just so you can log on and make the hottest fizz complaint thread.
