Who is Better, Zed or Fizz?

Both League of Legends champs are great champions. Both have their pros and cons. In the game's current meta, Zed usually loses when taking on Fizz, with a 44.4% win rate. Therefore, Zed makes a poor counter to Fizz.

While Zed does have a much lower win rate than Fizz, when facing one another, Zed also has a greater level of difficulty that makes him a more difficult champion to learn and master. You may get destroyed when picking Zed into Fizzas his relative depth means you may not be able to unleash his full potential without a significant amount of practice beforehand.

Additionally, Zed has only a small amount of CC and other utility, a similar amount to Fizz. This often makes her just as valuable during teamfights, especially when facing champions with a lot of burst damage.

While there is not one best champion in League of Legends, in Zed vs Fizz matchups, Fizz is the better champ with a much lower win rate, more champion depth, and a similar amount of utility to help out your teammates during team fights.

Zed is a trash counter to Fizz. You will do well by focussing your actions on keeping up your gold and cs and clearing objectives. If you do that, you should be able to stand on your own as Zed against Fizz.
