How to play it
DO
Realm Warp his ult
Bait his ult by standing still, then cast Realm Warp the instant he throws it to cancel it.
Poke him down
Poke him as much as possible to build a lead safely from range.
One slip and you die
Mess up even once and you're dead — he'll snowball out of control off a single kill.
DON'T
Never misstep or overextend — one mistake gets you killed and Fizz snowballs hard.
