You do realize that you're comparing a tanky sustained damage/healing mage (Vlad) with a tanky AP bruiser (Maokai) with an assassin (Fizz)?

Champions are different. Fizz doesn't have innate sustain the way Vlad and Maokai does, and he certainly doesn't get to become as tanky as they do unless you choose an off-build which will make the damage from the rest of his kit suffer.

For the most part, Riot has assassins be more mobile than champions who tend to be a lot more tanky which also makes sense from a thematic standpoint as well.

If an assassin's mobility did not exceed a tank's, and said assassin didn't receive any compensation buffs, there would be pretty much no point to playing that assassin since the tank would be better or equal in every single aspect except for damage.
