Why do league players think Fiora is severely OP?

Before you guys get on the down voting train please just read these points.

Yeah we get it with her passive's damage potential, Riposte's ability to block out any move, and how her ult can heal for a lot.

Personally though I think everyone who's crying about her must not know her at all, let alone play her. Get past, or bait out her Riposte, and she can't block a damn thing. Position yourself right, and you can counterattack while she uses her Q. Her E can be blocked by any shield, and her ult is only threatening if you cant CC her.

She's very strong, one of the top 5 best dueling champs I'll say, but she's not unkillable, and will die if she get's ganked and can't run. Also you can run in-and out of her passive's range to reset the weak point position. That will hurt her.

She does blunt object a bit too well...esp when her ENTIRE THEME is not being a blunt object but a very skilled scalpel which is why they are nerfing the bluntitude vs actually being good as a requirement...

The nerfs will barely effect the Fiora players that are playing as intended really, it'll just make the low finesse type gameplay less functional.

even Rito thinks she's too stronk. She's getting nerfed tomorrow, making her more fragile . Base armor, base health, and health per level reduced.

any melee carry absolutely shits on her. Her sustained damage is not very high because all her steroids are gone. Instead, she does high per-hit damage and murders tanks.

The following champs can easily 1v1 a fed fiora (with equal gold):

Master Yi
Tryndamere
Xin Zhao (as long as you are disciplined enough to not hit the 3rd Q during riposte)
Yasuo (same as Xin)
Vayne
Irelia
Riven

Many mages can as well, so long as they bait the riposte, again

Well considering that she has around a 57% win rate on mains.....

bait out her Riposte

Please, people, stop saying this. You can't actually bait anything that's used only as a reaction. No 'bait out black shield!'/etc. this isn't a viable excuse outside of gold/below (Which I will admit I'm in, but this is still inapplicable to many skilled players, even below gold.)

This pole is screwed because fiora is often banned, second barely to darius so of course you are gonna actually against her less because she is almost always banned
