User blog comment:Ozuar/Don't Insult Anti-Meta: AP Leona vs. Fizz/@comment-24022269-20131213054723

I'm horrible with math and hopelessly lost when it comes to equations, but to my understanding, the combo with the math that determines Leona wins pre-45 AP is dependent on Lich Bane, and at level 18.

1) You proobably don't get to be level 18 if you're still under 45 AP and intends to build AP.

2) Lich Bane itself is 80 AP, masteries and runes notwithstanding.

More importantly, Fizz can gap close much better than Leona, having more skills and slightly better range. His q, while having lower range than her e, don't have to successfully hit to gain the distance. His ult has ever-so-slightly higher range and longer cc, if hit, compared to Leona's ult. Not to mention Fizz's e, which gives 800 more units, disregarding the ground lost between first cast and second cast. That should be more useful than cc sometimes. Can't cc what ya can't hit.

Sorry if I repeat stuff, but I really don't read too well at this time of the day (night).
