Fizz
mid lane · Level six all-in
Stay above half health from six. His full combo kills you from nothing.
Fizz's E makes him untargetable through your answer, and at six the shark converts half-health into a kill; health bars are the counter.
Zed
mid lane · Level six all-in
Stand behind minions to block his Q, and trade the moment his energy is spent.
Zed's poke is skillshot-only and energy-gated pre-6; at six, hold a defensive summoner or dash for Death Mark or concede the trade.
