Hylian, open boots and three pots. Then grab a Philo stone on first trip back. Should make up for health regen hit. Not going to help with the damage reduction though. :(

so they hit your base HP regen by 2 HP/5, and your solution is to invest your first 800 gold into 22.5 HP/5... what?

Fizz should still be fine as far as I can tell, all the nerfs are pretty low key. He should still be able to bully people around by right clicking on them a lot. If the 2 HP/5 @ level 1 is too brutal, I think the real solution is to just sub out 1 quint for an HP regen quint.

idk maybe I'm just playing bad but look at my match history lol there is a huge difference pre and post patch. I just don't have the damage to kill people before I die now, and I pretty much always die first. He's not bad outside of lane still but in lane I played against a vlad and a karthus and they both destroyed me. Before the patch I was consistently getting scores like 13-2-16 etc and now I'm just failing lol.

Could just be because I'm so used to his old damage I'm calculating risks badly but still :/ I haven't won a single game with him post patch and I was absolutely destroying people before it. I'm just going to wait awhile probably playing bad.

yea, I mean, you're drawing broad conclusions from anecdotal evidence, not a good idea. He lost 2 HP/5, and paltry damage on his active seastone trident in exchange for a more reliable ult (I see the changes as an improvement, as the death fizzling and spell immune fizzling were bigger problems for me than hitting vlads who are pooling and being un-QSSable was an advantage). Sounds good to me. I don't care about the urchin strike AP ratio though cause I've never subscribed to the line of thinking that Fizz should be built AP, but either way, that's just a 0.1 ratio reduction, which is pretty small. I dunno, they were pretty gentle with him imho.

What is your build?

I usually go tanky AP: RoA/Abyssal or Hourglass/Ryalis/LichBane/GA or Deathcap

You don't build fizz AP mogwai?

what do you build then?
boots -> wriggle's + wit's end -> trinity -> GA.

His base damages and mobility are crazy strong so I just build and play like a bruiser. AP bursts harder ofc, but I feel like I do more sustained damage and outlast everyone in fights better, which I think is Fizz's strongest niche because of how Seastone trident scales with missing HP and how well the little ****er chases. Fizz is such a great cleanup character. My biggest problem with AP is that the strongest AP scaling items don't give terribly meaningful tankiness so I find that you have to pick your spots very very carefull so that you don't get CCed and die instantly later on, whereas bruiser Fizz can bait and initiate much more safely.

Tanky DPS Fizz is my favorite Fizz to go. AP Fizz is nice for nukage, but he melts so fast. :applejack:

LOL Mogwai I just tried your build and went 5/0/3, was a lot less frustrating.

Edit: What would you get for your 6th item? IE? PD? BT?

Also if it goes on long enough what would you sell wriggles for? I went 21/9/0 and a tankish rune page.

BVeil or QSS probably. Games don't really go long enough to knock me off wriggle's, but I guess you could swap it for atma's or BT or something, I dunno, never really had 1500+ gold lying around to temp me to sell my wriggle's to upgrade late game tbh.

Pretty sure I seen Mogwai build that on his AP champs too, because he can.

Also, Dphat. Maybe now that Udyr passive got nerfed he won't get insta-banned/picked and you can get him more in ranked (because people are dumb, not because he's weak) :)

What's the consensus on Wit's End late-game? Should I sell it off for something more expensive? Or just keep it?

There's much better bans than Udyr <_<

I've played 3 ranked and not a single one has banned Rammus.
I'm going to enjoy this until people get smart. :applejack:

I built wits end on trsitana once after IE (but before PD) because they were really AP heavy. Was that a good/bad idea?

Terrible idea. PD is miles and miles better for your DPS and wit's end's effect with a low HP pool is completely negligible.
Yeah, I thought it might be bad because I'll pretty much die if I get touched regardless. Thanks for the confirmation.

So is Galio ult the only thing good about him?
Cho gath has a knock up+ slow in 1 skill. And a silence.
Rammus 3 sec taunt

I find Galio cool but I cant find any streams playing him :/

Run Galio mid, poop on any AP that goes mid

run galio top, don't lose lane and farm buttloads.

he's got really good poke on fairly low cooldown, a strong shield, and an aoe initiation ult.

pretty fawking good

Would RoA be a good item on him? I only build him With Magic res items with a thornmail.
