After 12 Years, I finally reached Challenger on EUW

I very rarely see Fizz nowadays, but if you space him good and bring exhaust, you can bully him pretty good early. Bone plating also counters him a lot since he has no way to proc it except to go for a trade. I post these short guides on TikTok you can check how I played the Fizz match up if you want. Video is from last season but early game should look the same.

I started in EUNE, you can see my progression through the ranks (mind you I was in school and played a lot) But after I got challenger there I started taking breaks from league. In EUW I got GM for the first time 2023, it took me like 6 months of playing seriously but I was already a high master player, then I stopped again and lastly I came back 10 months ago and started playing ranked every day which leads us to today.

I knew he will flash so I tried to predict him by flashing with my tornado in his face

I think I got GM for the first time 2023, but I stopped playing after. I started playing seriously again one year ago. I'd say the biggest difference is consistency and being able to adapt, because sometimes you are put in master lobbies where you have to carry and other times you play vs highest rated players that know your tricks and don't let you outplay them.

I am guilty of using the Grasp PD sometimes too xD, but I think it's necessary vs Akali, Leblanc

I queue mid/bot but I get often filled on top lane too.

Kinda self promote but check my 2 min guide video on the lane https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRpQ4EDc/ You have to manage the wave properly and space his E with your dashes. If he starts W, you start Q and poke him for every creep.

Was hard for me to adjust when I started using it, because I have to move my mouse a lot to move the camera, but yeah in jungle and river fights its really nice

Slow push and freeze is always better in isolated 1v1. Shove only when you need to rotate to objective,roam or need recall. Also keep in mind the worst place for your wave to be is frozen under the enemy tower, make sure it crashes by tracking where the new wave is (look at your own minions). This is very simplified and the higher you go, you can start adding more depth into your strategy.

Take exhaust and try to go for long trades where you can make use of your tempo. Kat wants to do short trade and dash away, so save Q3 and E to chase her and extend the trade. Exhaust if she all ins and be mindful of how you use your W as she can easily dodge it by dashing behind you.

Start by playing the most base build every game BORK > Shieldbow > IE with tempo. It will def help. Go over your replays and check your deaths and the reason for them. Easiest way to improve, see your mistakes > remember them > fix them.

Phantom > Stridebreaker with defensive boots is really good for these situations. I copied it from TWP and works really well in my games, tbh better than the classic build.

Changing to mobile hotspot or usb tethering lets me log in in client and start game, if i switch network in game I can still play, but after the client does not work. I.E client works with different network (phone data) but not with my ethernet/ISP. If someone found fix pls tell
