Fizz vs Smolder Matchup Summary

The Fizz vs Smolder matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Fizz wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Smolder's 33.3%, giving Fizz a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Fizz dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Smolder players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.
