I wouldn't say that AD Fizz was outclassed by AP Fizz. It really depended from the situation - if your team was lacking in early game and required a tanky champion for example, AD Fizz would be a better choice. On other hand, on mid lane, AP Fizz would be a better choice 99% of time, save for a few situations, such as when the enemy mid laner was a Diana and there was already an AP champion on the Fizz' team. Of course, these are just examples.

The problem is that AP Fizz snowballed harder, could carry better if it snowballed, and was harder to counter. But he would fall off late game, which is an advantage that AD Fizz had over AP Fizz - although AD Fizz didn't had the best late game, especially in terms of damage, he could become tanky and have a good initiation for his team. That, and the fact that AD Fizz was a build that was barely promoted, and very few people played (I was one of them) meant that most people would deem AD Fizz as a troll build, or outclassed build, and would assume that the person playing it didn't tested it prior to using it.

However, AD Fizz actually had a better early game before the changes due to the Grievous Wounds (meaning that he could counter champions such as Dr. Mundo and Aatrox) and the fact that he didn't needed to activate his Seastone Trident to apply the % damage - he had a worse late game, however, due to lacking a boost to his damage - and the reverse is what happening with AD Fizz nowadays.

My only concern is if they decide to nerf AD Fizz so that it becomes unviable.
