Back when you made this post I would have agreed with you, but earlier today on the PBE they reverted the AP ratio on his Q from 0.5 to 0.3.

If these changes go through, his Q will be the same as it was in patch 5.2, and his W will only be slightly stronger compared to pre-5.2.

Patch 5.2 was when Fizz's win-rate dropped from 50-51% down to 43% because everyone continued to play him AP for a while until they all realized that on-hit Fizz was a lot stronger, making it rise back up to around 49-50%.

Comparing the overall changes from pre-5.2 to what's planned on the PBE:

Q: AP Ratio nerf from 0.6 to 0.3 and Base Damage nerf from 130 to 70 at max rank

W: Passive Portion: -10 Base Damage at max rank, +10% AP Ratio. Active Portion: +20 Damage at max rank

R: 20% Amplification buff

I am not sure if the biggest reason due to Fizz's low win-rate as an AP character was from his Q getting gutted, or the fact that the active on his W didn't have an AP Ratio.
