Fizz is not only insanely squishy, but his jump is not like Elise's rappel where all of a sudden, your first blood has retreated over the wall to wraith camp, he's gotta come down very very close to where he jumped from. His second gap closer isn't even that good, he literally throws himself really far forward into your tower, team, etc. If you gank him and he's overextended or at least has his jump on CD, he's practically as good as dead. His ult doesn't even do much damage, in comparison to say, Ahri's, but that's b/c the rest of his kit has plenty of damage. Not to mention it's quite hard to land consistantly. Ryze can easily crap on Fizz, especially if he's getting good ganks. Finally, you  can't jump out of Ryze's snare. I don't know if you mean jump before Ryze uses his snare or if you've never played or been around a Fizz and you don't know that he can't jump while snared.
