@Tundra Fizz And for that same reason, Kassadin remained a strong champion for a very long time, until Riot finally changed what made Kassadin a strong option; the range of his ult. However, when they changed that, Kassadin had the rest of his kit completely nerfed, and because of this, he is now weak, as he received no compensation buffs.

The fact that Fizz' Playful/Trickster skill is his core skill does not mean that it isn't a broken skill, that should be changed because it has NO counterplay. Every other assassin has counterplay on their mobility, for example:

can also become untargetable, but only with his ultimate, and the initial part of his ultimate does no damage. The damage only comes three seconds later, and Zed must be vulnerable to CC and damage to deal that damage.

and can become invisible, but a simple pink ward counters that.

has his Leap, but Kha'Zix can be hit during his Leap with CC and damage, for example, Thresh can hit Kha'Zix with his Death Sentence. Kha'Zix can also become invisible, but again, pink wards counter that.

takes reduced damage. However, she still takes damage, and is still vulnerable to CC.

Fizz is literally the only assassin whose mobility skill has absolutely NO counterplay, because you can't hit him with anything and you can't counter that with anything. Imagine if when a champion became "invisible", you could see it despite not being able to hit it with anything. Now, imagine if you could not drop a pink ward to be able to hit it. That's Fizz. His Playful/Trickster has no counterplay because you can't do anything about the fact that he is becoming untargetable.
