Fizz will get buffs with upcoming patch 8.15

Fizz is on the way to get buffs with upcoming patch 8.15, after his get new ability W in the last patch, according to a tweet from Riot staffer Naomi McArthur.

For the most part, the buffs just include big, fat AP scaling buffs, but there are some tweaks to base damage, too. Overall, this is clearly going to make Fizz much stronger. There’s a good chance he’ll be a priority pick in solo queue after this goes live.

Chum the Waters, his ultimate, is getting the largest buff of the clump. On top of considerably more flat damage on the Guppy, Chomper, and Gigalodon, AP scalings are going up across the board. The Guppy is getting a 40 percent increase, Chomper is getting 30 percent, and Gigalodon is getting 20 percent, resulting in all part of the ultimate scaling with 100 percent or more of Fizz’s AP.

Seastone Trident, the W that was reworked last patch, is getting a slightly less drastic buff. Its active’s base damage is going a bit down, but its AP scaling is going up by 20 percent, resulting in an overall buff. The on-hit magic damage portion is retaining the same amount of base damage, but it’s also getting an AP scaling buff of 10 percent.

These changes should arrive with upcoming patch 8.15 in the next week.
