How to beat Fizz as Yasuo: the early game

Fizz is a weak, mana-hungry melee at levels 1-3 with only one E point, so you win short E-Q trades and zone him off the wave. Track Playful / Trickster is 16s at rank 1 and 8s at rank 5 — the hop goes untargetable, so bait it before you spend burst. Before Fizz has Playful/Trickster (E) points he's a squishy melee; sidestep Urchin Strike (Q) and E-Q trade him since he can't dodge your burst yet.
