AD Fizz nerf when?

Yes, I'm gonna be 'that guy' and ask why this is allowed. The damage of an assassin with mobility close to Kassadin but worse because his mobility also negates all abilities thrown at him before trolling on his pole. I'm sure it was made popular by some moron streamer and then everyone thinks "wow I can be that moron too!" and copies it. Fizz before was annoying and had to do very few auto attacks. Now he just sticks to you with his slows, mobility and the sustained high damage means that unless you're a tank you're dead in one rotation.

"Just kite him" "Just focus him"

Kite someone by throwing a slow that can be dodged? Focus in a game where most people play for themselves up to around Platinum? No. He has oppressively high damage coupled with the ability to stop any ultimate short of a flash from hidden stun. A basic ability that can stop an ability that has a cooldown over 2 minutes sometimes.

To answer likely comments yes I have been torn apart by AD Fizz but I'm not alone and he's been doing it since the kit tweaks.

Fizz AD will get nerfed when AP Fizz is actually good.

A.k.a. not right now.

... i don't really know how to kite someone with 2 close-the-gaps of long range - can someone tell me how to do it? °_°

His Playful / Trickster has a pretty high mana cost. If you keep forcing him to blow it, he'll quickly run out of mana to engage you or wave clear. That's how I rationalize his counter play. Then in ranked I go Karma against him, can't dodge THE TETHER

AD Fizz is fun...why are you trying to kill fun?

I'm reading your post and wondering how this is different than an AP Fizz.

Oh well, it doesn't bother me any. Fizz has left the mid lane! Yippy!

AD Fizz isn't great but I don't really want to nerf it just because they've destroyed AP Fizz and even though I don't play him I want him to be playable in at least some respect.

Alright I'll be serious for a change.

The change to make his W on-hit instead of over time means that plus BOTRK and a high attack speed plus lich bane / triforce just shreds any non-tanks. Dash through you before you can react, jump on his pole to avoid any skills you would throw at him or chase if you try to run / flash away and there isn't a lot you can do. I realise this is only really possible against people wandering or that get caught out mostly or at best works against one target and leaves him ready to die but not before doing a lot of damage.

Yes I get the whole "focus him" and I would love to but unless you do ranked 5s or play exclusively with 4 other people you will get lots of games where you can't get the focus needed.
