How to beat Fizz

Common role: Mid

A slippery AP assassin who dodges targeted spells with his pole-vault.

What makes Fizz dangerous

Fizz dashes through units with his Q, becomes untargetable during his E pole-vault (dodging turret shots, ults and targeted CC), and sticks a shark-summoning fish on you with his ultimate for burst and a knock-up. He deletes squishies and is very hard to pin down.

How to play against Fizz

• 1Save your key targeted ability — he will pole-vault (E) to dodge it. Wait for E to be on cooldown before you commit your combo or ult.
• 2Dodge his ultimate fish — it's a slow-moving skillshot. If it doesn't stick, his whole burst combo fizzles.
• 3He's melee and squishy. Poke him down before level 6 and zone him from farm; a ranged mid can bully his lane phase hard.
• 4Group with your team — he thrives on isolating a lone carry. With peel and vision he can't get on the target he wants.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Squishy melee — dies to burst and dives.
• ✓Cooldown-reliant: once E is down he has no escape.
• ✓Ultimate is a dodgeable skillshot.
• ✓Weak lane sustain — loses extended ranged trades.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Fizz's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Combattant agile

  Fizz peut traverser les unités et profite d'un montant fixe de réduction des dégâts contre toutes les sources de dégâts.

• Q
  Frappe de l'oursin

  Fizz traverse sa cible, infligeant des dégâts magiques et des effets à l'impact.

• W
  Trident marin

  Les attaques de Fizz font saigner ses ennemis, infligeant des dégâts magiques en plusieurs secondes. Fizz peut renforcer sa prochaine attaque pour infliger des dégâts supplémentaires, et renforcer ses attaques suivantes pour une courte durée.

• E
  Joueur/Filou

  Fizz saute et retombe avec grâce sur sa lance, devenant impossible à cibler. Depuis cette position, Fizz peut soit frapper le sol, soit sauter à nouveau avant de retomber.

  Strong: pole-vault makes him untargetable, dodging targeted spells, ults and turret shots. Weak: on cooldown he has no escape — commit your combo after E is down.

• R
  Pêche au gros

  Fizz lance un poisson qui s'accroche à tout champion qui le touche, ralentissant la cible. Après un court instant, un requin surgit du sol, projetant la cible dans les airs et repoussant les ennemis proches. Tous les ennemis touchés subissent des dégâts magiques et sont ralentis.

  Strong: sticks a fish that summons a shark for burst and a knock-up. Weak: it's a slow skillshot — dodge it and his whole combo fizzles.

Itemization

Fizz is AP burst, so magic resist wins: Mercury's Treads plus an MR item (Spirit Visage, Kaenic Rookern), and a Zhonya's Hourglass or QSS to survive his ult stick. Hexdrinker/Maw is great on AD mids into him.
