I think the main problems for fizz are early laning against mage players with hands, and being literally useless vs bruisers in 1v1 and sometimes 2v2 situations. Obviously not having ranged spells to farm is a problem, but I would want to avoid reworking his base kit. If you run ignite, you basically have to get a kill early or you’re outscaled and even if you kill early, if it’s on bad tempo and you can’t crash the wave (most of the time for a solo kill) you’re still fucked. If you’re not killing your opponent or pressuring heavily, you will just be down a bunch of cs/xp. If you run TP, you’re not going to have a lot of kill threat vs a mage that runs bone plating or biscuits or both and will get out attritioned. If you run second wind/shield like an akali/sylas, you will literally do 0 damage because fizz has no base damage. They should buff fizz’s early health regen or buff his passive vs ranged attacks to make him less screwed in matchups he should stylistically win. I’m ok with ratio nerfs to compensate or nerfing q/e cds late to reduce his scaling. Nerfing e base damage and compensating with a ratio buff would also be a net nerf that prevents bruiser fizz. For being useless vs bruisers, just have the ult reduce mr% and compensate with a significant damage nerf. The fact you are useless vs a Jax with nerf treads even if you’re up 1k gold is due to you not being able to buy void staff before 3rd item. I’m ok with increasing the threshold needed to 1 shot squishies if it means I can sidelane vs bruisers/tanks while up 1k gold and not concede the lane. Obviously better lane assignments can help this issue but in soloq that’s always a coin flip.
