He's a little tricky because he's so slippery. Try to farm at a distance with Malefic Visions and CotV, and push your lane like a boss so that he's forced to farm under his turret (which he kinda sucks at doing unless he's maxing Playful/Trickster...which would be kinda weird).

If you manage to land a silence on him with CotV, unload your full combo, and you'll most certainly net a kill, or at the very least make him think twice about taking you so lightly ;) if you're really struggling against his damage, try to rush an early Athene's for the increased MR. Also, with the CDR and mana regen it provides, you'll also be able to spam your spells more often and push the lane even harder than before.

It can be hard to win trades outright against Fizz due to his invulnerability during Playful/Trickster, so just focus on farming and ganking other lanes when you're given the opportunity.
