Viego vs Fizz Counter Pick

Viego runs on no resource at all while Fizz pays mana for every dash, and that asymmetry compounds across a jungle clear and the skirmishes that follow. 360 games on patch 16.13.1 give the Ruined King 53.6%, a working edge rather than a dominant one, and the mana bill also limits how freely Urchin Strike gets used purely as an escape.

Sovereign’s Domination is what holds the number up. Any enemy who falls near Viego becomes a wraith he can attack to seize the body, healing a percentage and continuing the fight with a second kit in hand, which a single-target burst assassin struggles to close out around an objective. Blade of the Ruined King deals bonus current-health damage on hit and strikes twice against anyone he recently hit with an ability, and his 200 attack range edges the 175 of Fizz. He is the sturdier body too: 630 health and 34 armor at level 1 growing to 2,483 and 112.2, against 640 and 26 growing to 2,442 and 104.2. The counterplay is Playful / Trickster, an untargetable hop that dodges Spectral Maw and can waste the execute on Heartbreaker, backed by the flat damage reduction on Nimble Fighter. Difficulty ratings read 5 against 6, with movement speed at 345 to 335.
