It's really bad, sadly. If you really want to play him you should run Ignite + Smite, it's much better than running Flash, but it's still significantly worse than any of the meta junglers. It's technically playable though.

Relentless Hunter is fine. In fact all of the Hunter runes are fine on Fizz now. Ravenous is still good despite its nerfs though. It may not heal all that much during a teamfight but it'll give you a lot of sustain from minion waves that can help delay your back until you actually have enough gold to back with, as well as allow you to win fights by narrow margins. It feels really good to have, but it's not essential. You can also do Relentless for roaming, Ingenius for lower item CDs on all your core items (whichever mythic you go, Zhonya's and even on Lich Bane), and you can even use Ultimate Hunter for more potential picks with your ultimate. All runes are fine these days on Fizz since the weak ones got buffed and the strongest one got nerfed (but is still fine).


I think Triumph and Coup are just slightly better, but that's debatable. Inspiration secondary is fine too, and you can also consider Time Warp Tonic instead of Cosmic Insight too, and can consider Magical Footwear instead of any of those. There are a lot of options that all have their advantages with no clear best choice.


Well you can't combine Transcendence with Waterwalking because they share a line in Sorcery, but Sorcery itself is fine and so is Transcendence yes. Potentially it could even be the optimal choice into bursty AP matchups because it allows you to take Nullifying Orb which can save you many times and massively bait enemies.

What tree you want to run secondary is honestly up to you, there are too many viable options on Fizz. It could even be quite situational and up to personal preference, I won't say that you should always just run the main setup that I recommend in the guide.

i can comment for the autor, if you play mages vs fizz, go for cosmic insight and biscuits in your secondary runes, then pick flash and barrier. this makes your flash cd from 3.00 to 2.50 and your barrier from 2.00 to 1 min and 30sec. this will make fizz have a really hard time killing you. also you can go for your mythic + zh ( negate his all in with R). hope this helps.

Fizz powerspikes: his early game is nerfed, if he cant hit E he wont deal much dmg, so avoid getting hit by that, but he has a huge powerspike at 6 with his R, and another huge one when he gets lich bane ( he will deal alot of dmg even without hitting E.

for mages that do well against him: Lissandra is a really good pick and the item *crown of the shattered queen ( makes opponent deal 75% less dmg to you when fizz jumps on you) so good users of that mythic is a really good choice. think veigar, viktor, vex or even ahri ( fizz cant q you because of your E, so fizz has to start with E or R, when he comes close you have Ahri R to avoid taking dmg), hell even play lulu mid ( boring but makes assasins useless vs your team comp.
