Level 2LeBlancDistortion at 2 double-procs and returns; Seastone Trident only empowers his autos, so he has no way to trade back from 600 away
Level 3LeBlancPlayful arrives at level 3, but on 16s it cannot cover every step you take from 700 range away
Levels 4-5LeBlancPlayful is 14s at rank 2 — spend one spell to draw the hop, then the string lands clean
Level 6FizzChum the Waters sticks to you and grounds the return, so the shark knocks you into his whole combo
First itemFizzSnowballed Fizz becomes one of the best 1v1 duelists in the game against squishy burst mages

How to beat Fizz as LeBlanc: the early game

Before level 3 Fizz has no way to dodge your engage at all — Urchin Strike is a 550-range dash on 8s, not an escape, so bait it out, W in right after, and the trade is clean every time. From 3 he has Playful on 16s, so spend one spell to draw the hop before the rest of the string. Snowball this window before Chum the Waters arrives at 6.
