Wait, They Nerfed Fiora?

I'm so glad that RIOT decided to nerf Fiora. Oh wait... they nerfed her base armor, base health, and health growth. Great, so now instead of Fiora two shotting people with 570 health, she can 2 shot people with 550 health. I understand that you meant for this to weaken her early game, but her damage is too insane to pull something like that. What should be addressed is her base damage, the scaling on her ult heal, and her lunge. Ever wanted to run from Fiora. Too bad. 2 second cd on Q with full CDR and hitting someone. And the slow on her W is not necessary.

Her 53% win rate doesn't warrant massive nerfs. These changes will cause her to start losing close fights that she won before. It's a good nerf.

Apologies for necro. Looking for fiora advice myself since the rework.

They actually completely changed her kit.

Instead of base damage increase, she now gets parry. You have .75 seconds to time it. On the plus side you can parry summoner spells like Ignite.

Instead of being able to dive and being completely untargetable, you now have something called 'vitals' of which you have to hit all four, and does a few interesting things. Overall she's way more technical now than she used to be, and its a lot harder to do well. Sure if you know the other champion and player behaviors inside and out, then you'll do well, but it requires a LOT more knowledge.
