Is anyone from Riot looking at Fiora??

She's currently sitting at a 17% pick rate for top lane in Plat+, and a 52% win rate. Champs in top lane who historically break 10% pick rate tend to be too strong, but Fiora has been over 10% for months.

She has tremendous late game scaling, but her early game is strong as well. There is no champ in the game that can deal with her 1v1. "but she's the Grand Duelist" Then how come she can win 2v1s as well? If your position that she should win all 1v1s is that its about her champion theme, then she should lose anytime another champ, allied or enemy, shows up.

Once Fiora has 2-3 items, it doesnt matter if you hide under your turret, she outheals its damage with her item 3074 item 3812 and her passive, while dealing 8-12% of your health as true damage. See here https://youtu.be/MKEdIG55EvE?t=2529 You can literally here the casters talk about how strong Fiora is and how "no one can deal with her"

She is currently the 6th most banned champ in Plat+ in solo queue, and a consistent ban in pro play. Pros would rather play against AD Kennen than Fiora.

IMO, she doesnt need the whole true damage passive. If it did %max health physical damage, Fiora would still be fine, she just wouldnt stomp as mid-late game when her procs deal 15% of your health and their is nothing you can do to stop it except hug a wall

Much like yasou everyone has diffeernt opinions on why shes broken.

My gripe is why does she have a slow, a movement speed buff and a gapcloser

I find her attack speed slow to be rather unnecessary. For some reason many people don't know her W has that in there.

Its not that noone can beat her 1v1, its just her counters are either banned or out of meta atm. Pantheon can complete shit on her and shut her down. Irelia and Riven can also beat her 1v1.

Panth works in soloq only basically. In competitive she plays safe and he never does anything because they have better vision and know not to be out of position where he isn't on the map. Then she out scales and he is worthless unless fed which won't happen.

What do you mean no champ can 1v1 her late game ? Nasus destroys her once his stacks are near the thousand mark and Jax can go toe to toe with her as well , not to mention Yasuo and Riven can put up a good fight as well .

Yep. Don't forget Tryndamere MasterYi and maybe XinZhao. She will struggle in a 1v1 against them if not played right.
