It doesn't seem like I put the emphasis on the right place. I'm not even arguing how good or balanced he is: I'm arguing he's too consistently frustrating to play against, sometimes even as the counter due to the playstyle it necessitates, and a lot of that comes from the Q. The reason I don't want to argue in terms of balance is basically due to what has already happened here: Discussion of setup, and saying you can have a team mate cover for you can just as easily be applied to the person you're trying to counter: pick someone to let fizz get close, ok, pick somebody who doesn't, and xerath wins in that hypothetical by default because of the distances they operate on.
