He has a low cooldown on all his mobility and his W can apply heavy damage. The mana cost needs to be high on his E to stop spam it was designed to be used as a special spell that is used sparingly and not spammed for damage but for utility of the spell.

I agree that with the changing meta of bruisers and AD casters mid, that ap assassins are becoming less popular (except the cheap resource ones like kat or akali). With the crystal flask being in the game I think Fizz is more viable due to being able to start with more mana recovery so his early game isn't a 50/50. His mana pool and cost is designed as a counter to him so you have a high risk high reward effect.

No one plays him because he isn't popular with the meta like all mana AP assassins. And some people still enjoy him.
