Picks and Checks: Fiora (WIP)

Masala Chai··1 votes·414 views

Well, due to the lack of feedback on my first post on Diana (and the sad, sad singular downvote there) I decided to make another one because I have time, and I like looking at my work. Because whatever. Because this is a WIP, because I'm at school, a finished guide would be here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/x3qw0Qlh-picks-and-checks-diana

Brief Description: AD Hypercarry Bruiser Counters to: Maokai Chogath Riven Olaf Galio Garen Jax Darius Illaoi **Countered by: **Pantheon Quinn Lulu Malphite Poppy Trundle Vayne Cassiopeia

Typical Rush Items: item 3074 item 3748 item 3071 Checks: Tanky comps, Assassin comps Checked by: High mobility comps, Kiting, Poke comps esp. if Fiora's team doesn't have good engage.

Strengths:

  • Good in lane.
  • Quite sticky.
  • Very slippery
  • Immune to damage for a period (still no Fizz though)
  • Fairly high damage
  • Pretty versatile. She can fill the roles of an assassin, splitpusher/duelist, tank or a teamfighter.
  • Exceptional late game - Broken Strong

Weaknesses:

  • Ban hammers
  • Sustained damage is fairly low without vitals
  • Horrible base stats/ fairly squishy early on
  • Level 1 trading is fairly poor
  • Slightly feast or famine (can still scale however)

In lane: You want to protect your vitals by positioning yourself in a way where Fiora will not be able to reach it with Lunge. You can reset a vital, by stepping into an unwarded bush, and then stepping out again if the vital is unfavorable. Fiora vitals appear in predictable patterns- South- West Vitals will cycle to North or East Vitals and vice versa. If Fiora decides to go with an extended trade, you can line up against a wall to protect a vital, therefore not allowing her to get a Vital Proc. If she ults you, make a beeline toward you turret if possible, or kite toward a wall so that she can't get a 3rd of 4th proc of Grand Challenge. ** In Teamfights:** As a bruiser, Fiora will either hold front line to tear up a tank, or attempt to dive backline to kill their ADC. You will want to tear her down with sustained damage from an ADC, while tanks focus their efforts on peeling for their ADC from Fiora (if she doesn't have Riposte) and other assassins and marksmen. If she triggers her ulti, the teamfight will become a great deal harder.

EDIT: Can anyone explain why I am recieving downvotes to such a volume? Am I doing something wrong?
