Well the point here is to keep fizz from one shotting people with uncharged w and making then wait for it to charge. Overall 20% ap ratio onto an ezreal won't make a difference if fizz waits for his w, but it helps prevent ezreal from dieing before w even charges up. So in some ways it's a nerf.

For tank fizz with banshees it won't make a difference at all because 20% of 100 is 20 which is what the w is losing lewl.

It's not a buff.

It's compensation for a nerf aimed at Tank Fizz.

What nerf to tank fizz if I may ask? I didn't keep up to pbe stuff for a while, so at first this ap ratio buff on fizz seems really stupid.

They're nerfing his W's base damage. As you could clearly see if you were paying any attention to S@20.

Yeah but it's still a buff nontheless. With 100 ap, fizz now deals 6,7 damage with passive, and 20 damage with charged W more. So it's actually 1,7 damage more with 100 ap and AP fizz wins even more with that.

You're forgetting the nerfs to W's base damage also affects charged W's damage. And it's 25 less damage at Rank 5.

So at 100 AP, he'll deal 100 damage with W passive and 300 with the charged active, from 118 and 355 before the nerf.

The 25 dmg gets tripled with the empowered part of his w. So it's 75 dmg nerf and the ap scaling is to help ap fizz. So he only gets the dmg back at 375 ap, with the new scaling. So anything above is more dmg for ap fizz, this is the ap tank fizz doesn't build.

The only problem is that it's a nerf to Fizz's early game, which is really bad to begin with, and slight buff to late game fizz which isn't good. Still won't help his late game in a significant way after the banshees and GA changes.

Graves is not a nerf.. are you blind? All the damage is put into the second Q now. 160% AD ratio are you fucking serious Riot?

All they did was nerf early game. This changes NOTHING. Level 16 comes and they will be just as terrible as they are now.

Edit: They removed 60 DAMAGE to add another 40% AD ratio. Two items more than makes up for that now with the small AD buffs to ADC items.
