Fizz got nerfed.

Before he went down though he had to do one more dick move; he stole Ahri's 20% damage boost

Basically, these changes means Fizz will actually require skill to play. He actually has to hit his fish if he wants to kill you, and he won't be able to just instagib you anyway because they reduced the damage on his abilities without the amplifier. I have a feeling they were actually holding off on these changes until DFG got removed because these nerfs+DFG=HUGE BUFF. I also like how they moved the main damage on his seastone trident from its passive to its active, because it was really just dumb that his AA trade was that powerful from a single attack.

No one cared that Fizz could instantly kill people, no one cares that Zed can instantly kill people: It's the fact they can instantly kill people and still have so much going for them. No one liked Fizz because of his E. Honestly, simply giving it a base CD of 16 at all ranks, or even removing/nerfing the damage would have helped a lot.

Riot seems to think the players don't like that there are instant-killer assassins, we don't like instant killer assassins who can pretty much easily escape death even under CC, wave clear better than an ADC, and be no risk, high reward when it comes to going in for kills.

I am sooo happy that he finally got nerfed! Hope riven is next!

So, they nerfed Q and Z, left E unchanged and buffed ult.

my good old friend.

IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME FOR MESSING AROUND WITH NOXIANS.

this is actually a HUGE buff.

not only will it still be a decent buff to AP builds... its an insane buff to AD and DPS builds.

wits/bork builds in particular, and devour/wits/bork even moreso in the jungle. hitting an ult on these builds will instagib tanks. not hitting an ult on these builds will still instagib everyone else. you dont even need triforce for this to happen, but that will def help.

i already used these builds to utilize a little sustain and free up E for purely escape purposes. it used to be in this case that the ult was purely for chasing down super mobile champs, now it will amplify your (even more) insane DPS with an attack speed loaded kit proccing new W active with on hit effects to add to the pain.

I would not call those changes nerfes.

can someone send me a link to where fizz got nerfed I cannot find it.

I'm probably gonna get a LOT of hate for this but... i think this was very unnecessary. Everyone is complaining about how assassins are too strong and how they can kill you in a instant. That is when you realize THAT IS THEIR JOB. A smart nerf to an assassin is like what they did to Talon and Leblanc, remove some of their utility but leave the majority of their damage. The only thing that really needs to be done to Fizz is raise the cooldown on his e so he can't use it into a team fight and then use it out of it without any counter play and he would be much more balanced. This is also my opinion on Zed. He is suppose to deal damage so just nerf the cooldown on his shadow and lower the range on his ult shadow. I mean there are ways to counter these people even the way they are. ( )

dude i main fizz and dis nerf is nothing am i very neutral about this and if really u think removing dfg is gonna stop fizz u are wrong

I'm looking at it as close as I can to find the buff. I really am.

But it may of actually happened.

Q/W will do a lot less damage. Even to the point where the amp doesn't make it up. But the amp on Lichbane probably will.

It also means a tank could eat the ult in place of a squishy and really weaken Fizz's all in.

This just might end up gutting him.

I'm not sad to see him go. But he was an interesting champion. No matter how much I hated him. He'll probably see a mana buff on his E.

But then he got Ahri's E on his ult... :< Still nice to know that he wont be able to delete an adc with a q + aa combo though, definitely better to have him powerspike after landing his ult and not just having him be annoying all the time

ITT: a bunch of people who clearly aren't good at math, with the loss of DFG riot just game him a free amp on his ult. Unless every mage is getting one, this is a buff.

lol
