Viego vs Fizz Counter Pick

Viego draws on no resource whatsoever, while Fizz spends mana on every dash. That gap piles up over a jungle clear and the fights that come after. Across 360 games on patch 16.13.1, the Ruined King wins 53.6% of the time, a modest advantage rather than a dominant one. The mana cost also restrains how freely Urchin Strike can be spent purely to escape.

Sovereign’s Domination is the reason that figure holds up. Any foe who dies near Viego becomes a wraith he can attack to take over the corpse, recovering a share of his health and carrying the fight on with a second set of abilities. A single-target burst assassin finds that hard to finish around an objective. Blade of the Ruined King adds bonus current-health damage on hit and strikes twice against any target he recently hit with an ability, and his 200 attack range beats the 175 of Fizz. He is also the tankier champion: 630 health and 34 armor at level 1, rising to 2,483 and 112.2, versus 640 and 26 rising to 2,442 and 104.2. Fizz’s answer is Playful / Trickster, an untargetable hop that dodges Spectral Maw and can waste the execute on Heartbreaker, backed up by the flat damage reduction from Nimble Fighter. Difficulty ratings sit at 5 against 6, and movement speed runs 345 to 335.
