Playing as Fizz

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Farm with your trident

    Last-hit minions with Seastone Trident (W) early on: if the empowered auto kills, you get mana back and its cooldown drops.

  2. Dodge with Playful

    Save Playful (E) to dodge a key spell: you're untargetable for 0.75 seconds, then land with damage and a slow.

  3. Throw your fish from range

    Cast Chum the Waters (R) from range: the farther the fish travels before it attaches, the stronger the shark's slow and damage.

  4. Combo before the shark

    After Chum the Waters (R), chain Urchin Strike (Q) and Seastone Trident (W) while the target is slowed: the shark then bursts up under them and knocks them into the air.

Playing against Master Yi

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't run alone from his R

    Against Highlander (R), don't run alone: regroup with your team, because he gains speed and ignores slows.

  2. CC him after his Alpha Strike

    If you have CC other than a slow, land it right after Alpha Strike (Q): during the strike, he's untargetable, and Highlander (R) ignores slows.

  3. Interrupt his Meditate

    If you have CC, interrupt Meditate (W): he channels it to heal, more at low health, and to reduce the damage he takes.

  4. Pressure his jungle early

    Put pressure on his jungle early on: Master Yi is strongest once he has his items, and each stolen camp delays him.
