Playing against Fizz

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Punish him at levels 1-2: Fizz is melee and has no trading tools before level 3.

2

His E has a long cooldown (16-8s): when he uses it to farm or trade, that's your window to all-in.

3

Buy Zhonya's or Banshee's: his burst is predictable (R → all-in) and these items counter it well.

4

His R can be dodged by dashing or flashing sideways — it has a relatively narrow hitbox up close.
