@RIOT | Why ridiculously + severely nerfed Fiora in 6.6?? (Seriously need an answer)
I just want to ask RIOT to answer us three questions:
- Why nerfed a champion who just has 50.02% win rate in Platinum+ ranked games?
- Why nerfed Fiora so severely that she was almost disabled after that?
- Why nerfed Fiora’s core skills including Passive and E? What do you think make Fiora a Fiora after this?
Let’s look at what killed Fiora in 6.6: 1.Duelist’s Dance [ Passive ] True damage on Vitals changed from 3% to 2%. ([+ 2.8 - 4.5% of Bonus AD] to [+4% of Bonus AD]) 3% down to 2%. When Ult, Fiora total losts 4% damage of the enemy max HP. This is a huge 33% nerf. 4% of max Health means a lot in late game.
Don’t tell me 2.8% of Bonus AD was increased to 4%. How many AD do you have in early game? How many damage you will lose in late game when 4.5% of Bonus AD was decreased to 4%, in late game, when you have 200~300 AD?
2.Bladework [ E ] Slow strength decreased from 40/45/50/55/60% to 30% at all ranks. Do you see that? 60% down to 30%. Half nerfed. Like someone cut one of your arm and one of your leg. This is it.
So why nerf Fiora? (1)Is it because there are some people just personally hate Fiora? Just personally saying “Too much damage as Percentage of Max Health + True Damage”?
Don’t forget there are lots of champs who are doing the same thing, Garen
, Vayne
, Yi
, Cho’ Gath
, Zed
, Jayce
… too many to mention.
Yes it is true damage. But it is just 3% percent. Try to look at those champs that has 20%~33% AP damage of enemy max health. And don't forget, this 3% is what Fiora all relies on. All.
(2)So, RIOS must say, well we think Fiora is doing too much damage. This is hard to believe, how can a “too much damage” champion struggle around 50% win rate?
(3)Don’t forget how hard it is to play as Fiora. Her W is much harder than Yasuo’s
W.
She is defined as a high risk – high reward champ.
0.75 second leaves you no chance to post-react to enemy’s control skills like stun and immobilize.
Don’t forget she has NO AOE skills. Don’t forget how painful it is for Fiora to just kill minions in early games. Before she gets
, the only way to kill minions is to use A.
(What, you told me that
was nerfed in 6.6 too??)
(4)If you recall another champion, Miss Fortune
, another champion claimed by RIOT as “too much damage”. She had No.1 Win rate two three months before.
What did RIOT nerfed to her? Slightly decreased the damage of…… E.
Yes, RIOT did not touch her passive, or Q, or W, or R, just E.
And guess what, just this tiny nerf made MF nowhere seen in win rate Top10 now.
Let’s see how Fiora will suffer in 6.6. Maybe 45% win rate will make RIOT happy?
