Good counterpicks for AD Fizz?

Fizz is easily one of the most popular champions, and most of his popularity is as an AD top lane bruiser. Many people ask for him to be nerfed due to the fact that generally, building health is the best way to counter mixed damage, but against Fizz this is not an option due to the fact that his mixed damage is based on a percentage of the enemy's health.

and I am just here to know... which champions can counterpick him the best?


As AD Fizz player myself, generally I have problems with Shen. He is a manaless champion with ranged harass, natural sustain, a shield that can counter some of Fizz' DoT on his W, and can rush a Thornmail and win every trade against AD Fizz. Another champion that give me problems is Vayne due to the fact that she can poke me during the early game when I don't have Q and E yet, and she can easily dodge Chum the Waters. Also, Vayne is the only ADC that is problematic to try to trade against as AD Fizz on my opinion, especially since she can kite him.

Other champions that give me serious problems are Renekton and Rengar, due to their extremely high early game burst damage, and their sustain. Rengar even has a resistances steroid to make trading with him more difficult, while Renekton has a targeted stun.

Sometimes people pick Vladimir against me when I am using AD Fizz, but unless that Vlad is smart and play safe during the early game, I can win against them just by playing extremely aggressively.

When I am going against AD Fizz, most of time I pick Trundle. He can outsustain Fizz, win trades due to his AD steal and attack speed steroid, and can steal Fizz's resistances, making him resillent to Fizz's all-ins.

Two champions that I want to test against AD Fizz: Fiora TahmKench

Personally I pick Nasus into him. I haven't played that matchup often, but each time Nasus seemed to do very well. Between the attack speed slow, the massive innate sustain, and the ability to build pure tank Nasus has all the tools to prevent a Fizz snowball.

He doesn't exactly have the tools to stop a Fizz that has already begun snowballing, but if you pressure your lane hard enough instead of freezing for more stacks you can effectively make it impossible for him to roam.

Yeah, Nasus is pretty good into AD Fizz, in fact. This matchup actually used to be easy for Fizz when he had Griveous Wounds, because that could be used to shut down Nasus' lifesteal. But due to Fizz no longer having Griveous Wounds, you simply can't stop Nasus from lifestealing all the damage back. That, and the targeted attack speed slow, make Nasus a very difficult matchup for AD Fizz.

The problem, though... Nasus will be outscaled by AD Fizz late game. Nasus has a way harder time reaching key targets. That, and if Fizz has a QSS or Banshee's Veil (QSS is better) he will have a hard time trying to prevent Fizz from simply ignoring him and going for his ADC.
