I am surprised fiora hasn't received hotfix nerfs after her rework.
Like really surprised.
Like really surprised.
Already She's been nerfed 3 times since her hot fix.

Already She's been nerfed 3 times since her hot fix.
And these nerfs done nothing to combat her toxic playstyle of automatically becoming a splitpush monster once she finishes 2 items.
So? Jax is a splitpusher. Udyr is a splitpusher. Yi is a splitpusher. Tryndafucker is a splitpusher. Many characters can splitpush, and do it a hell of a lot better than Fiora can.
She recieved hotfix buffs.
wasn't really a hotfix, she received buffs in the following patch
The reason for stuff like this is because people called her weak, trash, etc. Even Meddler? I believe it was said that Fiora might be too strong after the hotfix. Then people found out she was OP, then the nerf bat kept swinging. Thing is, her kit is too good to be weak right now. It's the same issue as GP- No matter how much you weaken one part of them, another part will work just fine. Drawback of creating good kits. Poppy is showing herself to be a late game monster as a tank as well. I haven't seen many Shens to say about him, to be honest.
A hotfix is when a champion is re balanced mid patch due to being unhealthy enough to warrant immediate changes, release Leblanc received a hotfix, Fiora did not receive a hotfix, her buffs were rolled out with the next patch following her rework. This was not a hotfix.
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-515-notes Isn't a Patch Update the same as a hotfix?
No, a hotfix is when something is changed outside of the normal patch cycle, like if a champion is released 2 weeks before the next patch and they receive changes the next day instead of in 2 weeks when the patch hits.
A patch update is essentially a hotfix then. They buffed Fiora a while after the patch came out rather than wait.
