To this whole Trickster/Trollpool comparison about which is best (or like everyone seems to put it, which is M0ST OP WTF N3RF N0W), it ain't that complicated when you look at the numbers.

First of all, Trickster lasts 0,75 second, not 0,5 second, and Trollpool lasts 1,5 second, not 2 second. Vlad's lasts 0,75 second more, but it does not move him in a fast burst (Trickster does), does not allow him to move through walls (Trickster does), does not negate effects like Zilean's bomb (Trickster does), and does not allow him to move out of wall effects like Jarvan's ult or Veigar's stun (Trickster does).

Next, Trollpool's cooldown is 26/23/20/17/14 while Trickster's is TEN SECONDS shorter at lvl 1 and almost half Trollpool's cooldown at max level, at 16/14/12/10/8.

CC-wise, Trollpool's slow is 40% at all levels, while Trickster's actually starts at 40%, and scales to 45%, 50%, 55%, and finally 60%.

I could run more numbers about the damage and the cost of either, but I think you get the idea by now. After calculating everything I could think of, Trollpool has a slight advantage in duration, damage and cost, while Trickster has a very large advantage in mobility, utility, cooldown, and CC. Unless you take no max mana and/or mana regen items, have no clue whatsoever about mana conservation and go apeshit on spamming all of Fizz's skills constantly (all of his other skills have very low MP costs), you won't find yourself in a life or death situation going SHIT, I NEED 27 MORE MP FOR TRICKSTER.

If you find some statistics or number to contradict me without butthurt and rage, post em below, I'd appreciate being proven wrong about pool becoming second-best trolling/annoying skill in League of Legends. BTW, buff Vlad.
