And just as it is with Kat and Yi, in that case you made a mistake and got punished for it. So, its your fault, not Fizzs design. But even then, with proper positioning, and with the enemy carry not being CCd, he will never be able to get to the carry with his E and deal damage with it. And even then, he does it worse than just about every other assassin.

Except thats how it is. Its quite simple, yknow? Also explains why DFG is actually rarely built on him. DFG is built less on him than tier 2 boots. In competitive too. The only time DFG was built on him by pros, was when he was stomping and they aimed to close the game early as possible. Here is the deal. You want LB on him, thats one slot. You also want boots (for obvious reasons), and Zhonyas. 3 slots. But you also want Void staff. Else MR hurts your ass. Oh and Rabadons, the extra AP is huge. And now you are at 5 slots. Here is the deal. You could go for DFG as the 6th one, but you would be too squishy. You need some defenses, else you die quickly.

And likewise, in progression there is no good point for it. You want to build Zhonyas ASAP, you need it. You also want to finish LB quickly. At that point the enemy will have started building MR. You need the void staff. And Rabadon at that point is plain better as a damage choice. And again, no place for DFG.

Because he has no way out and no other defenses. Take Zed. He goes in, kills, uses ult to go out. He doesnt need anything that makes him invulnerable because he is only there for a very short time before disappearing. Same goes for Leblanc. Talon can use his stealth to escape potentially. But even then, he doesnt have to. He deals a large amount of AoE damage on top of instagibbing, so he already is more effective than Fizz. Ahri can dash around like crazy, Kassadin got a < 3 second blink. All of them dont need that much invulnerability because they arent there long enough. Fizz goes in, does his thing, and has to wait over 6 seconds to get out. Zhonyas can help him somewhat, but he is still going to be vulnerable.
