Because Fiora needed a rework and Vayne is insanely strong because HP% true damage is a problem

Riot balancing team thought it was a good idea to give her also HP% true damage which is broken by default because you cant itemize against it, perma dashes, a free banshee that on top of that mirrors the effect, and to make sure she is completely obnoxious an AoE heal.

Maybe its time to make it a goal for champ designers to design champs who are also fun to play against and not only to play yourself.

The difference between Fiora and Vayne's damage is Fiora has to work for hers. Vayne's is every three basic attacks on an ADC which happens naturally. Fiora is also melee and has to potentially endanger herself to proc hers. I do believe she is a little strong right now, but her passive isn't the reason.

Fiora gets a large movespeed bonus (VERY large if she builds a Phage item) when she procs her passive, so unless you want to hard CC her as soon as she dashes in, she gets to run away for free with very little damage traded back. But surprise, surprise, if she reads your hard CC, she can press W and stun you and...subsequently walk away for free. Or kill you, as fiora tends to do.

Her kit is just a tad too synergistic and overloaded; that is, her abilities cover each others' weaknesses a little too well. Sure, she takes more skill now---a lot more than the old point-and-click Fiora---but with even rudimentary mastery she quickly becomes overbearing and incredibly difficult to play against.

Exactly, she lacks counterplay because of the fricking permadashes and her w. I am just so mad that every fricking champ who got released or reworked the past 6 months got an overloaded kit. Please Riot stop with this tendency!!!
