Kassadin
(My personal go to ban champion.) Ahh Kassadin. The Late game monster right...? Kassadin is Strong into AP champions in general and outscales most champions hence the ''Kassadin is level 16. Just surrender'' meme. He does outscale you hard, however he also wins earlier before he gets his level 16 spike. Laning phase is rough for Fizz aswell, since he gets stacks on his E ability whenever you last hit minions with your W. His first few levels aren't the strongest but neither is yours. Can always dodge your E + R with his dash ability (R). Has a magic shield that makes sure the trades go equal early or he even wins. HATE. THIS. CHAMPION. FREEZE THE WAVE EARLY AND LET UR JUNGLER GANK THIS GUY 3 TIMES IN A ROW
Zac
I love this champion. He hits E and you can just hit your R and completely burst him down. Also he is very tanky so he can soak damage.

![](/images/spacer.png)
Now that you know everything about
![]() ![]() ![]() The first thing to understand is your goal as Fizz is to outplay your opponents with your high mobility and high burst damage. Your objective is to deal with the squishy damage dealers in the enemy team. You will do this by knowing how and when to combo, using vision to your advantage and when to flank. Other than mechanics, macro/vision plays a very vital role for ![]() Before we dive in on how to play ![]() ![]() In League of Legends minions play a very important role in the game since you get gold and experience for your champion so you can get stronger. The minions spawn at the Nexus and walk to eachother in either top, mid or the bottom lane where the your minion wave meets the enemy minion wave from the opposite side. By CONTROLLING where and how the waves meet is what we call wave management. There's a lot of benefits and disadvantages to it. Proper wave management can literally change the results of games and win you the game. Let's find out about some terms and strats. Let's start with the most basic concepts: |
PUSHING THE WAVE
You hit minions with auto attacks or abilities and push the wave in if you do this more than your opponent. Very simple right?
|
PULLING THE WAVE
The best way to pull waves is to only last hit minions and not attack them otherwise unlike pushing. You can also draw the enemy minions' aggro to gather them closer to the enemy turret and the moment you lose aggro, the minion wave will all focus one minion letting it push in faster to your turret.
|
FREEZING THE WAVE
If you want to take complete advantage of the minion wave you need to know how to hold the wave in front of your turret. This concept we call ''Freezing''
|
SLOW PUSHING
Push slowly while only last hitting enemy minions and push the last wave fast right before the enemy turret
|
SPACING & MOVEMENT
|
![](/images/spacer.png)
LOADING SCREEN
| ||
This is where the game has started. Not when you hear ''minions have spawned'' no the game starts the moment you are loading into the game. This is where you can get free information and make a game plan for yourself.
I'd say that the MAJORITY of the League players do NOT do this. Now what do I mean with ''Free information''? This means you see who your allies and enemies are. You see who you are playing against but also who your allies are playing against. This is important to know because off this information you make a game plan Now a game plan is very important to create since a game plan will be your ideal road map that you must follow to maximize your chances at winning that is tailored to your individual circumstances that you start the game with, and that develop as the game progresses. It sounds a bit complicated but you will get used to it. |
HOW DO I MAKE A GAME PLAN?
| ||
Good question. This is what i'd like to hear! If you have asked yourself this while reading this guide you are already on your way to become a better League of Legends player, if not.. it doesn't really matter since I will help you either way ;).
Now explaining ''Game plan'' will be very hard on paper and it will be an entire essay so for the sake of this guide I will keep it very strict and short and we focus on a few key points for ![]() |
MAKING A GAME PLAN AS FIZZ
| ||
Now that you know who your allies (teammates) and enemies are you have to ask yourself the most important questions as
![]() Based off the jungle question: You ask yourself this because you need to know whether you can win 2v2. For example you have a powerfarmer like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For the lane question: You ask yourself this because you need to know where to roam and what your best odds are. For example you have a ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are way more questions you can ask yourself especially for the mid-late game but this is a good start for the early game; knowing if you win skirmishes / 1 on 1 / where to roam. Proper gameplay will snowball you further and improve you as a player while securing that juicy victory screen. |
LEVEL 1-2
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Straight up: your first few levels (1,2) are extremely weak I'd even say one of the weakest level 1,2 in the game. Keep that in your head. For example do not fight a
![]() ![]() NOTE: There are a few exceptions for example during an assassin vs assassin matchup. Usually whoever gets level 2 or 3 first will have priority during the first few waves for example ![]() ![]() ![]() In general you do want to get the first 3 melee minions this is also easy to pick up because you started the game with your E ![]() Usually you do give up a small amount of CS if you are playing against a ranged like ![]() ![]() The more you play these matchups especially vs melee champions you will notice you can tend an auto attack or two here and there, this is all about knowing your limit and how the enemy moves. The more you play the game the better you will get at this. Just bear in mind that again your first two levels just aren't that great. Use ![]() Now combining from what you have learned from all of the above you would do something like this with the wave:
|
LEVEL 3-5
| ||||||||
If you haven't lost a lot of HP because of your weak level 1-2 you did great! Now that you have 3 abilities (Q,W,E) after you hit level 3 you can start looking for some trades. Now this is usually matchup dependant; the more you play the more you will understand about trading patterns. The basic trade combo as in the chapter ''combos'' is Q + AA + W on the enemy and either E out or in depending on how low he is and what champion he is playing.
I recommend playing off enemy abilities. For example if the enemy ![]() ![]() ![]()
|
LEVEL 6+
| ||||||||
![]() Level 6 is also where you can setup the wave for very easy kills for you and your jungler. Freezing the wave can be key here especially against immobile mages. The moment they step forward is the moment you ult and your jungler comes and you pick up a free kill.
|
![](/images/spacer.png)
ROAMING
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Most of the time you roam after you push the minion wave in the enemy turret. This will make you not lose minions since you already pushed the wave in and remember minions are gold and experience. They are a valuable resource after all so you can get your powerspikes. Roaming is always good when you pushed the wave in. Whether you want to ward, check where the enemy jungler is or get kills from other lanes. After all you pushed the wave in, so there won't be a huge loss in terms of XP or gold. Even if you don't get a lot from just roaming you are not standing still or watching the enemy mid lane take his CS. Roaming will always help in terms of pressure aswell. Don't just stand still on mid lane doing NOTHING. Either Roam or reset always be moving and planning ahead.
|
FAKE ROAMING
| ||||
Now there is also a thing that I call ''Fake roaming'' basically what you do is you place a
![]()
|
VISION AND WARDING
| |||||
I cannot stress this enough but VISION is so important for a champion like
![]() In most games as ![]() ![]() ![]() Buying a ![]() ![]() Placing these ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
On this picture it shows you the best warding spots in general.
|
DEEP WARDING
| |||||||||||||
Deep warding is when you use your support item or in our case a
![]() Jungle tracking uses a ton of game knowledge and can be very confusing for newer players. However if you do want to learn it I recommend checking out Skillcapped & Coach Curtis on Youtube. The moment you master how to track the enemy jungle you will be impossible to gank; a lot of Challenger players; like Faker know how to jungle track at a high level. This is also why Faker is almost ''ungankable'' for the enemy jungler. The best warding spot for early game is the infamous ''Raptor ward'
|
![](/images/spacer.png)
WHEN IS MID GAME?
| ||
After Laning phase ends you get the mid game. The mid game is usually when the first turret has fallen and most champions have completed their first and/or second item (usually 15-20 minutes into the game give or take) This means objectives will be a very important key for you to focus on.
|
WHAT DO I DO AS FIZZ
DURING THIS STAGE?
| ||||||||
This is where a lot of
![]() Your job as ![]() deny vision. These 3 points are the way to play ![]() Push out waves This is when you push waves on a sidelane(top/bot) so you pressure the enemy team to go and clear these minions. If the enemy does not do this they will LOSE gold and experience aswell as potentially losing a turret which opens the map for you and your team even more. When do I know what lane to go to? Now this has a quick and easy answer to: Which objective is up next or which does your team want to contest. As an example: ![]() ![]() Now... There are cases where both ![]() ![]() For example if you are behind in the game and you know the enemy wants to go for ![]() ![]()
|
LATE GAME
| ||
When the time hits 25-30+ minutes and most champions have 3-4 if not more items. This is where the late game starts and
![]() ![]() ![]() |
HOW TO PLAY FIZZ IN LATE GAME
| ||||||||||||||||
At this point you arguably have your strongest items and have a high chance of oneshotting the enemy carry in the blink of an eye. This is almost the same as mid game where you look for solo kills, deny vision and play for objective control while pushing in waves. A single decision can either win or lose you the game which is why I will give you some tips in order for you not to make mistakes that a lot of people do tend to make.
A few question you can ask yourself is:

LATE GAME TIPS

TEAMFIGHTING
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Teamfighting as
![]() This is where I bring up the ''Free information'' point again like in the last chapter. By pressing ''Tab'' on your keyboard you can see what the enemy is building or has build.
Planning before a teamfight is very important again ask yourself these following questions:
These are some of the questions you ask yourself before you want to commit to a teamfight to get that TAB key and brain ready!
Again like in the last chapter you could look for solo kills / picks before a teamfight so you and your team have a number advantage. If a pick is not possible you will need to look for flanks by denying vision and looking for the right side of the map (can be either top- or botside). Always start the teamfight with a third range ultimate ![]() |

Playing with patience is very important if you engage hastily or at the wrong time you will blow your cooldowns and potentially die.

WHAT TO DO WHEN I'M BEHIND AS FIZZ?
| ||
When your early game didn't go well and you are behind in terms of gold and experience
![]() Now let me tell you this straight up: The moment you make a lot of mistakes in the early game and you start the game being 0-3-0. It is over for you. With this I mean there isn't a magical way for you to do this and that; and than come back in the game. However it is always possible to come back and secure a win even when you are behind, but you do this by punishing and abusing the enemy mistakes. After all this is SoloQ and a ton of people make mistakes in terms of vision, macro, wave management and even mechanics. If the enemy would have a 3 kill lead on you and play it ''perfect'' it would usually be over. Now how do you exploit the enemy their mistakes? You do this by managing the wave properly, setting up ganks, looking for roam timers and creating situations that benefit you: for example a 2v1 or 3v1 situation where you can take the enemy shutdown. As explained in the chapter before this is where wave management, jungle tracking, vision and roaming come in. By playing around these key factors you can come back even when you are behind as ![]() |

STILL IN WORK
The matchup sheet is in the in-built system of Mobafire on this guide aswell, however I will put them here aswell with some tweaking so you have an idea of how to play against certain matchups. Matchup and Game knowledge are crucial for a champion like
![](/images/spacer.png)
I have covered around ~60 champions at the moment, however I will expand this the older this guide gets and the more the meta adjusts.
There will be ''Good matchups - Even matchups - Bad matchups''
![](/images/spacer.png)
These are matchups that are overall pretty easy for
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Not that big of an issue aside from some poke + movement speed buff.
Not mobile too. Easy to gank and setup a wave.
Stay out of her binding (E) range before you burst and use your E to either engage on her after you hit R or to dodge her Q (or at the same time to flex)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Trade with her after lvl 4-5+ don't fall for the lvl 1-2 fight when she has conqueror you will lose.
Use R on her when there is no minion wave or other players so she can't shunpo/dash anywhere and then just full burst and EZ win.
When you don't have enough damage to shut her down make sure you save your E to avoid her R damage (since you go untargetable)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Press R and just win bro lol.
The shark is a bit bigger than Tibbers :^)
But for real make sure you engage properly with R when her shield(e) is down or before she uses it and it should be free. Just remember you can cancel her Q and dodge her W+R with your E.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Honestly very easy. You will always outtrade if you dodge his Q and can easily follow him when he tries to run.
Don't fight him first few levels though since he will win because of Hail of Blades (rune)
Just make sure you ward or ping properly for your team, since Pyke mid players always roam.
![](/images/spacer.png)
"I will swallow your soul." This is actually not a quote by Veigar but by the SHARK from Fizz his ultimate :^)
You can dodge EVERY SINGLE ABILITY: yes even his ultimate! So it's pretty easy. You can also just E out of his cage just make sure you don't q to it since it will stun you.
Should also be easy to gank because he has no mobility.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Moment you hit your ult this guy is usually DEAD.
Can dodge every ability aswell, so it should be free right?
However this guy will stay under turret and use his Q to clear the waves. Try to freeze whenever he does this and press Q on a minion and R to him to finish him. Should also be easy to gank because he has no mobility.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Very easy. You hit R? He dead.
He doesn't have a lot of range aswell unlike Xerath.
You can dodge his passive damage+Q+W+R with your E so make good use off it!
![](/images/spacer.png)
Pretty easy. You can dodge every single ability with your E or just move out of it if you have spiderman reflexes.
Tip: save your E for either his E or R to avoid a lot of damage you can take. His Q+W should be dodge by movement. If you mess up your E and he hits a combo you are dead.
![](/images/spacer.png)
She has no mobility at all so hitting your combo on her should be easy.
Make sure you dodge her Q though or else she can burst you down. Moment u dodge her Q with movement or E you should be fine though.
If she does the ''i will stay under turret all game and just clear wave'' you either roam to get kills and leave her there or freeze and ask your jungler to come and abuse the no mobility mage!
![](/images/spacer.png)
Easy to burst. You can dodge his R with your E aswell. Just make sure you don't get hit by 20 Q's.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Easy to burst, no mobility. You can dodge his Q+W and technically his E aswell.
Tip: Ward and ping properly against Twisted Fate, since he will just try to soak waves on mid and roam other lanes.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Very squishy and easy to kill. Can dodge every ability with your E, since it's a skillshot. You hit R he is probably dead.
However a small tip: you should ult before him after he used his explosive jump (W) since it makes him easier to kill. Try baiting it out with your combo's before you all in. Not needed though if you ult at the proper spot. (let's say close to your turret)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Every ability is dodgeable and she has little mobility. Dodge her W and you should be fine.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Pretty easy you can dodge every ability and outtrade her. She also has no mobility, so free gank setups for you. Her range isn't super long like Xerath and Vel'koz so abuse it!
![](/images/spacer.png)
Use your passive(ghosted) so she can't hit her Q on you while you are on the minion wave and take small trades. Once she is low enough just all in and kill her. Should be easy, however she does have a dash so be mindful of that.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Rock.
AP Malphite = easy to kill and u can dodge his R with your E. Don't get poked too much by his Q.
Tank Malphite = Ditch lane and roam :D lol!
![](/images/spacer.png)
He will permanently push the wave with his E. Is however easy to gank and kill once you land your ultimate.
If you struggle vs AP Kog'Maw you can ditch the lane and roam and get free kills from other lanes, however you should be able to kill him when you play it properly.
![](/images/spacer.png)
You can dodge both his Q+W, however he will outsustain you if you don't kill him. He also makes pretty tanky later on. Super easy to gank and abuse though.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Pretty easy level 3-5 you should outtrade. Just don't fall for the lvl 1 Kayle bait after she has stacks.
Post level 6 it's annoying, since she has her ultimate ability to counter your burst and she has range. Should still be fine though if you play it smart and make sure to dodge her Q so you don't get get the debuff on you.
She does scale very hard so make sure you get some stuff done pre 3 items (ish) by roaming and helping other lanes etc.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Pretty easy. Q+E is dodgeable and her R does not much to you unless you screw it up.
Make sure you use your E to dodge her bubble (E) and use R after or before she ults (the portal) so you can get a free kill from it.
Tip: Make sure you do this when she doesn't have a strong active on her W (for example exhaust etc..) that can counter you.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Can permanently shove waves and just move. Similar to Twisted Fate. He won't lane against you and just move to other lanes.
However when you have your ultimate try to freeze the wave in a proper position so you can hit your ult on him and run him down.
Use your Q & E to dodge his Q & R.
Should be win for Fizz, however I've played against enough very good Sol players and become more of an ''even'' matchup
![](/images/spacer.png)
Wins against you early, but it becomes very easy the moment you have some items / press R on him and E his barrels and he is always dead. Make sure you ignite him before he uses his orange (W) to heal.
Super gankable for your jungler aswell. No mobility.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Can poke you while moving so she can space you whenever you want to walk up and use your Q on her. Usually wait till level 6 unless she messes up.
You want to always save your E for her ultimate (R) because you can completely soak it, however if you know you can kill her by all means go for it.
If are ahead you can just use your E to dodge her stun and run at her with R and kill her easily.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Annoying early game, but same as most of these matchups moment you have level 6 you can usually kill him with your entire combo.
Don't take too much damage early from his Q+E. His Lazer is also dodgeable and you can use your E for his ult to avoid some of the damage.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Easy to lane against and very killable, however the moment he hits level 6 and has his ult is it annoying to face him.
This old man has decent waveclear and good mid-late game aswell. Make sure you abuse him early by trading a lot (you will win all the time unless he hits double bomb but use your E to dodge that)
Tip for mid-late game aswell is: Try ulting the Zilean so he forces the ult on himself instead of a teammate and after that u can either go for the ADC or peel for your team. You trade ults however in most cases this is worth it.
![](/images/spacer.png)
I want to say completely free, but a decent Ryze can be a bit annoying early game. He should be free to kill when you have ultimate and have some AP. It's also easy to gank for your jungler when he doesn't get the movement speed off.
However late game he becomes a bit tanky so make sure you destroy him early.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Bit annoying early game especially pre 6, since she can poke you all the time. Make sure you stay healthy it's okay to give a few cs.
After level 6 it should be pretty easy to kill her when you hit your R. Make sure you don't use E till you 100% know you can kill her or use it to dodge her ultimate.
![](/images/spacer.png)
I don't know who still plays this champion, but should be free if you ult her and dodge her E/R with your E.
Just be careful because she can clone herself (W) and soak your ult with it.
Make sure you don't get too poked before you do.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Pretty easy to kill you will win most trades if you dodge his blast (Q) and play around his E.
He can dodge your ult with his dash (w) so be careful about your timing.
Most Corki players also build Hexdrinker so that is pretty annoying, but other than that you should be fine most stages of the game.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Now this should be very easy for a DECENT Fizz player. You can dodge all her abilities... HOWEVER she can do the same to you with her ultimate. Better player will win this. Timing on ur E is KEY to avoid her charm. When you avoid her charm you basically win at that point.
She's just annoying in terms of she has 3 in-built dashes and assumable flash as summoner spell so it's hard to completely kill her when she plays it decent.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Ekko uses Q on wave? You go in and trade with him you will always win. Moment he uses W (the shield) u E out.
![](/images/spacer.png)
These are the even matchups for
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Pre 6 on you won't be able to do much, since she outpushes you and has quite a bit of damage, however moment you have your ultimate and play it smart and hit it you should be able to win 1 on 1. Just bear in mind she has her W which is a jump (=mobility).
Tip: Use vision to your advantage to hit your ult and chase down with your Q, use E when she uses her R animation to knock u back - if u do this her R will go on a cooldown and you won't get take the damage + CC.
![](/images/spacer.png)
She literally makes you depressed by punishing you when you use your Q or E.. Skill matchup but i'd say a bit favourable towards Vex. Better player will usually win.
Make sure you engage when she doesn't have a red bar under her HP bar (aka her fear ability)
And obviously don't take too much damage from her basic attacks and abilities. Again it is winnable but might be a bit more challenging than let's say a Lux.
She has little mobility so it is abusable for your jungler too.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Bruiser/Tank Nasus mid. Basically impossible to kill if he plays it smart and just outsustains you and builds some MR + Divine Sunderer.
You can easily gank him with your jungler though or roam to other lanes.
He outscales you so you will never 1 on 1 kill him be mindful of that.
(Yes I have played against this several times in Challenger/Grandmaster ELO)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Pretty tanky and can E your Q and get most of his combo off. Other than that he also has sustain from his passive.
Favourable towards Gragas for sure but he won't kill you if you play it decently. You can dodge all of his abilities aswell. Best is to play it smart this one and E his Q+E if possible and Q out of his R (very hard but can be done)
Can always leave lane this matchup and roam he won't push too fast.
![](/images/spacer.png)
NOW: some might say hey Esruc why the hell did you put Azir on ''Even'' and not ''Easy matchup!?''
Now for low elo: yes he is easy he press R and run him down, you can dodge his R too with your E.
However in higher elo this sand man is very annoying to deal with since he will poke you A LOT and has insane amount of range and dps to do it. He can also dodge your E+R with his E.
In my opinion a good azir is annoying to face against and its more of a skill matchup. However if the Azir has no idea what he is doing it should be pretty easy.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Very annoying early.
Make sure you dodge his poke and don't take too much damage it's okay to give up a few CS.
Once you have ult you should be able to nuke him down when you have enough HP, however when you hit 6 a good Jayce will keep his distance. When this happen i'd recommend you freeze the wave and Q + R the minion wave to hit your ult on him. He's not super mobile aswell aside from some movement speed so it should be easy to gank for your jungler.
![](/images/spacer.png)
If you get hit by her Q she can run you down so make sure you either dodge it or E out when she does.
Before nuking her with your combo you want to make sure you either have 1. enough damage to kill her when you hit everything or 2. she used her W (the miasma).
Use your E to dodge her R. Make sure you do this before she uses her W ability where you get grounded and can't use your Q+E. You want to go for a BURST kill. Moment you can't kill her she will finish you off with her insane DPS.
![](/images/spacer.png)
It should be a fine matchup. Annoying because of his passive shield, pop it before you all in with your R and you will win. (for example q in and then go out and you have a small window (25-30 seconds) to ult and kill him. Once your ult is on him he can't press R on you aswell so it should be free. Just make sure you get his passive and press E when he has a lot of voidlings.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Akshan is very annoying, because of his passive (he gets a shield, movement speed and can attack you twice in 1 click)
You will get poked out of lane if you go for CS so just try to take it easy the moment you are level 6 and have ult you can win against him if you hit your ult. If you don't its very hard to kill him after. He will literally click you to death even when you dodge his Q+E.
Tip: You can cancel his ultimate when you press E.
![](/images/spacer.png)
On paper it should be free for Fizz right? You can press E to jump over her Wall, dodge her Q/E.
However in reality a decent Anivia is very annoying to face especially early game when she has her passive it's hard to kill her (or well kill her twice)
Should be easy to gank because she has no mobility. So ping ping jungler. Show up!
![](/images/spacer.png)
Skill matchup. The better player will usually win this, more favourable towards Qiyana early game but Fizz shines after getting zhonya's.
You have TRUE VISION on your ultimate so you can see her when you hit it and she has her green Q on her (the stealth).
Tip: use your E to dodge her R and use vision to your advantage. With this I mean make sure you go in a bush and deny vision and she doesn't know where you are so you can get an easy ult off and kill her from there.
Once you have zhonya you can use your E to dodge her Q or for burst and time your Zhonya for her ult. Should be doable.. right?
![](/images/spacer.png)
Fizz loses early, but same as Zed you win after you have zhonya and your ultimate ability.
Make sure to use your E to dodge his W or Q so he won't get the passive bleed off on you.
Your ultimate ability (shark) also gives TRUE VISION so you will be able to see him after he ults when you land your R.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Skill matchup. Favourable towards Zed early game, however Fizz should be fine/win after level 6 and when you have stopwatch / zhonya (rush it btw)
Also don't forget you can E his ultimate. The moment he presses R on you press E and you avoid the entire damage of it. (BE SURE TO USE YOUR E WHEN HE IS USING HIS R ON YOU - IF YOU USE IT AFTER HE GOT THE MARK ON YOU THE DAMAGE IS UNAVOIDABLE EVEN WITH E)
![](/images/spacer.png)
I swear this champion is so annoying because she can nullify so much of your burst with her W ability. You need to play around her stacks and the minion wave if she has no stacks you will win - if she does you won't. Moment she used her W you all in her and will usually win if you are equal in terms of gold.
Pre 6 use your E to dodge her stuns -- after level 6 when she has ult you need to use your E to dodge her R or else its a bit doomed.
However 90% of the Irelia players always push fast/hard so you are able to freeze and call your homie (jungler) and EASILY kill her. Good setup and Irelia mid is free kills for your jungler.
![](/images/spacer.png)
I'd say skill matchup. But favourable towards Fizz. Don't fight him the first few levels, since you will lose most of the time because of his passive + lethal tempo.
Make sure you pop his boneplating before you want to combo (Auto attack him)
Pre level 6: Use your E after he used E so you can always hit it similar to Yasuo/Ekko and try to dodge all of his Q's with movement. If he W's you in a minion wave he will get a bigger shield so be careful of that.
You should usually win these if you play it properly.
After level 6: you most of the time save your E for his ultimate (R) so you can dodge it. This depends on how the Yone plays it obviously and in what situation you are in, but typically you want to avoid his R by dodging it with your E if you can dodge it with movement even better!
Unlike Yasuo you can actually hit your R on this edgy guy if you time it properly with either vision or play around his E so he can't dash out of it. (god bless no windwall)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Even matchup. Better player will win.
Don't play too much into the minion wave since he will just permanently dash. Also make sure you pop his passive shield (+bone plating rune) before you all in.
You will never be able to R2 or R3 ult so just Q into R instantly (he has windwall)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Super annoying early game because of her Q spam and W, but once u hit 6 and you hit your R on her you can win it. Just make sure you have a lot of HP before you do.
Don't engage on her with Q since she will just press E and dodge the damage and get out of range. You need to bait it out.
Your ultimate ability (shark) also gives TRUE VISION so you will be able to see her after she uses her cloud ability (W) when you land your R.
![](/images/spacer.png)
These are the bad matchups for
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
(My personal go to ban champion.)
Ahh Kassadin. The Late game monster right...?
Kassadin is Strong into AP champions in general and outscales most champions hence the ''Kassadin is level 16. Just surrender'' meme.
He does outscale you hard, however he also wins earlier before he gets his level 16 spike.
Laning phase is rough for Fizz aswell, since he gets stacks on his E ability whenever you last hit minions with your W. His first few levels aren't the strongest but neither is yours.
Can always dodge your E + R with his dash ability (R). Has a magic shield that makes sure the trades go equal early or he even wins.
HATE. THIS. CHAMPION. FREEZE THE WAVE EARLY AND LET UR JUNGLER GANK THIS GUY 3 TIMES IN A ROW
![](/images/spacer.png)
''The Ultimate Assassin counter'' In my own words.
Lissandra pokes you down in lane and makes sure you can't engage with her root ability. The moment you manage to hit your ultimate she will ult herself making her invulnerable. She's a good teamfighter aswell and has good point and click shutdown ability with mobility.
In general considered THE strongest counter.
Leave lane and get kills from other lanes :^)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Almost unkillable. Outsustains you forever. AD Vladimir on mid. Very good against most assassins including Fizz.
Even if you ditch the lane and roam he will take your turret at 8 minutes in the game.
Tip: Try to use E before you use
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Not much I can say for this other than: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I DESPISE THIS CHAMPION
![](/images/spacer.png)
VERY HARD - 1 on 1 you usually will never win. This guy has a shield for trades, can poke you down with Q + E when you go for farm and because of his passive you won't outtrade him.
Best you can do is CS and try to stay healthy so your jungler can gank this guy he is pretty immobile after all. Once you are a bit ahead it can be won because of sheer number gap (aka gold difference and items)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Now let me start off by saying: The better player will win this. However it is very Leblanc favored.
She will poke you down all the time because of her range and the moment you all in she will use her chain ability and you can not escape from it with your E and it will go through in terms of root and damage.
She can also just EASILY dodge your E+R and potentially your Q aswell.. as i said very favourable towards Leblanc, but if she makes mistakes like missing her chain or using her W in a bad spot u can win it for sure.
Good tip for this lane is: you can build Mercury's Treads (boots) for this matchup especially if enemy has another AP in their team lets say Evelynn/Diana jungle.
Also don't show yourself when Leblanc wants to push in the wave; they usually use their W on the wave and if you are in the bush you can ult and kill IT (mindgames baby)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Will win trades 1 on 1. Can dodge your ult and e easily with his dash. Also he is just too tanky because of the items he builds.
Good tip is to just push in the wave and roam.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Completely unkillable because of his W and item build path. He wins 1 on 1 aswell.
Good tip is to just push in the wave and roam.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Early game bit unplayable. She is WAY tankier and has as much burst as you except she can soak Fizz burst with her shield. Also wins the longer u fight against her, because of her on-hit passive.
However easy to punish if you have a decent jungler and setup a good wave for him.
![](/images/spacer.png)
Very hard to kill because of his W ability making him tankier and getting a in-built magic shield from it. It is possible to kill Galio the very first levels during laning phase if you manage to outplay him and dodge his abilities and all in him with ignite.
Later the game goes he becomes too tanky to kill and an insane good frontline for the enemy team making your life hell mid-late game.
![](/images/spacer.png)
So Sylas is a bit weird, since Sylas wins early vs Fizz because of his W, however he is killable when you ignite him.
I'd say its favourable towards Sylas, but Fizz can win this.
Make sure you press E or R after he used his dash (e) ability or else its too easy to dodge.
Also when he tries to ult you: you can use your E mid animation and he won't get your ultimate ability, while his goes on cooldown because of the untargetability on Fizz E.
I recommend going
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Very boring lane the Vladimir will always outsustain you and his W is a pool which makes him untargetable like Fizz E. So hitting your ult is basically impossible.
Best thing to do is just ditch lane and roam top/bot all the time and soak waves on mid while helping your jungler out. He will outscale you.
I recommend going
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
![](/images/spacer.png)
Very annoying, can't really kill him and his Q goes through your E so he LITERALLY pull you out of your E (yes he actually does lol)
>More matchups will be added in this guide if there are more requests towards certain champions; also in the future I will add more information to some of the matchups to help you guys more.
STILL IN WORK
FAQ
If I somehow haven't answered your question I did a Reddit AMA a while ago; so I will be posting the most frequently asked questions here:
Q: I hover between d3 and d4. What are the main things u notice in that elo that can be changed to climb above it?
A: I think wave manipulation and knowing when to roam is the most crucial point if u compare low diamond fizz players vs low master fizz players for example. I recommend checking out a youtube channel called ''skillcapped'' they have were good guides on how how to wave manipulate properly during laning phase and roaming guides super effective I'm a Challenger player and I still watch youtube videos on how to improve.. knowledge is POWER my friend
Q: What is your opinion on Fizz in high elo?
A: I think Fizz in high elo is in general not so great because he can easily get counterpicked especially in this current meta. Also I always say Fizz is a champion made to punish enemies their mistakes. In very high elo (challenger) they don't make a lot of mistakes! So it's harder to punish since their wave manipulation is also very good (When I played vs Magifelix / Nemesis / Perkz etc..) They were all very good and knew how to play around Fizz
Q: What could possibly be changed to make him less a noobstomper, better for higher ranks?
A: Hmm This one is a very hard question. I feel like Fizz is one of those champions that are perfect for soloQ but not so great for competitive. But hypothetically speaking u could maybe lower his damage on W? and make his R damage higher? (for example) So it's more skillshot relient burst so to speak
Q: Diamond Fizz main here. I have a hard time against champs like Galio and Diana, what’s your tip for laning against tanky-ish champs that you can’t kill?
A: So I think for Diana in particular shes very prone to ganks so setting up a good wave for your jungler and asking him to come one of the best things u can do against her. Snowball her and kill her a few times and u slowly get more items than her so u can try to solo kill her later.
For Galio it's best to dodge his E with ur movement and use ur E when he tries to ''W'' (his taunt) once u dodge both these abilities means Galio has not enough damage + no aftershock proc to kill you. Also engaging while he just used his passive is the best u can do. In general Galio is a very hard counter for Fizz, BECAUSE of his aftershock proc u can't burst him so if u make sure he doesn't get it off u pretty much win the 1v1. Outroaming / outpushing a galio is very hard for a Fizz though. Because of his passive + Q + R.
Q: How do you deal with tanky top laners when your team is feeding?
Every time I’ve asked this I just get told that they’re not my job
A: How do I deal with tanky top laners? Well first of all if my team isn't doing well I try to make a choice and analyse the situation. For example if the enemy team has let's say a fed maokai/ornn right. Most tanks are very good at teamfighting so if that tank is fed and there is no way for you to kill him it's best to focus on the squishier targets like for example their mage mid or adc. Making picks is crucial in these scenarios. When you cut off their damage playing as a team against a tank isn't that hard right, since he won't 1v5 your team (unless is he literally 7k gold ahead somehow?)
So tldr; try to avoid teamfighting and try to make picks in the jungle (buy oracle the red trinket) and scan the area and try to play around their tank just keep avoiding it. Worst case u could go for a Liandry's / Void staff those 2 items help a lot with tanks but bear in mind that it would cut your damage a bit on the squishier target (compared to when u buy lich bane, rabadon etc)
After making picks try to go for objectives and close out the game that way. U'd be surprised how many people just keep on getting caught even in high elo so abuse that !
Q: Are there any champions or teamcomps where Fizz shouldnt be picked?
A: So first of all blind picking Fizz is not good, since he does have quite a bit of counters this meta (in terms of tanks, Deaths dance bruisers, and ofcourse the summoner spell exhaust)
But if we are talking about our own teamcomp then I would say Fizz is a bad pick when your team already has a lot of damage. Like a very strong top laner, jungler, bot laners instead u can pick a tank mid (actually happens btw lmao)
Against the enemy teamcomp Fizz is bad when they have a lot of targets that can stack health and survive ur one shot burst. If you can't one shot most targets in the enemy teamcomp it's pretty much a dodge in champselect so let's say ur against (Ornn top, Elise Jungle, Galio mid, Xayah(or any self peeling adc), Nautilus) None of these targets can u instant oneshot since they have some self peel compared to champions like let's say xerath / lux etc. immobile squishy mages that u can just one shot.
Q: How do you feel about Dark Harvest on Fizz? I had a tremendous sucess on gold elo with it.
A: I personally don't like Dark Harvest on Fizz, I think the only runes for now that are viable on him are Elec/PTA/Grasp.
Elec in general the best rune for Fizz and the easiest to get off.
PTA for cheesy laning phase against some champions this works (but PTA doesn't scale good compared to Elec)
Grasp against VERY hard matchups like Kassadin etc.. That u don't wanna let scale and destroy in the early game, although i don't recommend using Grasp of the undying on Fizz, since u need to be very experienced in order to get it off and it's a more laning phase oriented
Q: What are some of the easiest mistakes to punish when you make a mistake? Especially in low elo where I am right now, I feel like fizz gets mostly punished for misusing his e. What do you think are the most punishable offenses?
A: Misusing E is a HUGE deal yes, I see so many Fizz players be 5% HP and solo kill the enemy mid laner or force them out of lane and stay to push the wave in with E without having any proper vision, Guess what happens. The enemy jungler is behind you and you don't have your E up. Dead. Enemy gets a freeze. Lane becomes 2 times harder. So misusing ur E is probably the biggest mistakes what general Fizz players tend to make.
Other then that I feel like so many people Q in AA , W for the elec proc and then E out which is a good thing is to for trading but again you don't know where the enemy jungler is if you didn't ward properly. So I think u can misuse combo's aswell if you do it at the wrong timing.
Ultimate wise a lot of people try to get the 3rd range (the most damage and biggest shark ult) but always use it in lane without closing the gap (for example q'ing on a minion then R instant so enemy mid has less time to react) or out the fog out war and guess what u miss the shark. Which is ur biggest kill pressure ability during laning phase. Which means u missed a shot at a free kill / force out of lane.
The most punishable offenses is misusing ur E & Q. If u misuse ur Q u can be at a position u don't want to be at (since u launch urself to the target) and then ur forced to E out which means a very big cooldown early game and ur prone to ganks and all ins.
Q: how do you decide when to roam?
A: So I mostly decide to roam when I know my top/jungle/bot have kill pressure/CC champions. For example If i have Ezreal Soraka on my bot. Honestly I'm not touching that UNLESS its a very free kill like; the enemy bot is hard pushing my bot under turret and they are 20% hp without any wards. But Ezreal and soraka don't have a lot of reliable CC so why would I gank a lane like that, When I for example can gank my top laner which is a Camille with a nice stun slow and strong ultimate. Or Maybe next game I get a Draven nautilus bot lane. Lots of kill pressure and CC that's very free to gank, no?
So it depends on your teamcomp & enemy teamcomp. During laning phase I decide to roam when my waves are pushed in or if it's a cannon wave (third wave) so I lose less CS when I roam.
Q: very important question: what's your favorite skin?
A: Favorite skin? HANDS DOWN.... FISHERMAN!!! Come on man there is no other choice! This skin is just TOO good! But other then Fisherman, Void Fizz also a great one! But I don't think Fizz has ''bad'' skins even the old ones like Tundra Fizz are cute.
Fuzz Fizz? What is that? I have no idea what that skin is sorry? I don't think that skin exists in my mind .. ;)
Q: Any tips for dealing with Leblanc and Zoe?
A: Leblanc is very hard to deal with u need to bait out her W and hit your R if you do that you'll win. So vision is very important go to a bush and control ward it and fake recall if she thinks u recalled she will use her W on the wave the moment she does that u have an opening to all in.
Zoe should be kinda free the moment u hit lvl 3-4+ u can dodge her E and if you dodge her E shes just easy to kill not much to say about this matchup i always win it even if the zoe is 1000 lp challenger fizz is just too good vs her. Just don't get hit by her E and hit ur R that's how easy it is. u have ur Q + E to dodge her I mostly use Q on her and zoe players tend to instantly use their bubble so I predict it and use my E.
