Why Fiora will never be good

It takes too long to get her full damage potential off. Sure she can do extremely high damage but you will never proc your full ultimate (in a teamfight) before you're hit with CC and die.

Well, you could always be a fall back engage killer in a high poke/siege comp versus heavy engage team.

I mean just ult the ones that are most likely to die when diving your team/adc/apc wich probably is a tank who gets shredded by your true damage instead of diving/flanking yourself.

would she work as a bruiser? i haven't tried her so idk.

I would imagine she's better off not going full AD, but bruisers like to have at least one solid CC, e.g. Vi ult or Rek'Sai unburrow.

Fiora doesn't have that, so I honestly don't know what is best for her.

Shyvana is a solid bruiser with essentially no CC. She has a knockback tied to her ult CD, but it does about as much harm as good.

CC isn't a requirement for a bruiser. If you want to be tanky DPS, you mostly just have to do DPS while being tanky.

to avoid getting hit by cc is exactly what riposte is for.

everything about her base kit is perfect. the only thing thats iffy is really her ult. the only larger issue i found with it, is that enemys can sit in the corner of a wall when theyre ulted, making it impossible to reach at least 2 of the vitals.

this can make duelling more tanky champions extremely difficult.

but i have not found a situation yet, where i had the feeling that every ability but the ult feels weak, or anything else than loads of fun.

this is pretty much it. youre better off not diving yourself, but killing the guy diving into your team and have everyone immediately profit from the heal. dont tra to chase after someone who would be kiting you and running away. pick the easy target thats foolish enough to try and fight you head on.

youre getting the most of your damage potential by ulting the tankiest target anyways.

it can turn a fight around. and then you can go in and join the others in killing the rest of the opponents.

this is by the way the same mistake people make on quinn. instead of hanging back in adc form and duelling the guy whos diving into your team, then turn into valor and assassinate the opposing adc, they try diving into the fight in bird mode from the start.

all she needs is buffs. a potential of 100% max HP true damage(20% per passive hit on her ult) on a kit is broken..... like she is set up for failure right now.

5 ult ticks and even a theoretical 100k HP sion dies in 5 hits.

She works well following up a tanks initiate especially when flanking the enemy and a 4 item Fiora still has good burst, it's just people still haven't figured out her build.

Saying a champion will never be good based on their kit is fine, saying a champion will never be good based on their numbers is dumb.

If any of you played during XinZhao release you know what I mean. If you didn't, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHw1_Csup84 (Or go look for a better quality one yourself)
