Taliyah vs Fizz Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Taliyah is a mage/support hybrid, Fizz a assassin/fighter hybrid, and they meet in the Mid lane. 269 tracked games on 16.13.1 put Taliyah at a 41.6% win rate into Fizz. A deficit of 8.4 points is what earns Fizz its counter flag in this matchup.
Range decides much of the early game: Taliyah attacks from 525 units, Fizz from 175. Until Fizz closes that 175-to-525 gap, Taliyah dictates the pace.
The exchange usually opens with Unraveled Earth (E) or Urchin Strike (Q). Ultimates decide the rest — Weaver’s Wall versus Chum the Waters.
magic damage sits on both sides of this lane, which simplifies what Taliyah and Fizz build against each other. Taliyah carries 550 base health to Fizz’s 640, and 18 armour to 26. That 8-point armour gap favours Fizz in the first all-in. Scaling matters as well: Taliyah ends on 2318 HP, Fizz on 2442. That 330-versus-335 difference matters most when either leaves the lane.
