Playing against Fizz
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Punish him at levels 1-2: Fizz is melee and has no trading tools before level 3.
His E has a long cooldown (16-8s): when he uses it to farm or trade, that's your window to all-in.
Buy Zhonya's or Banshee's: his burst is predictable (R → all-in) and these items counter it well.
His R can be dodged by dashing or flashing sideways — it has a relatively narrow hitbox up close.
