Who Wins the Smolder vs Fizz Matchup?

Smolder vs Fizz Matchup Summary
The Smolder vs Fizz 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. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Fizz controls the early laning stage, but Smolder outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Fizz needs to press advantages before Smolder reaches their power spikes, while Smolder should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Fizz leads by 0.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Fizz has a strong advantage in this matchup. Smolder players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Fizz overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Early Game vs Late Game
Fizz dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 80.0% win rate — a 60.0 percentage point lead over Smolder. This lopsided early game means Fizz can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.
