Nerf Fiora? What do you guys think?

I sent a message to Riot games asking them to nerf Fiora since she can do a ton of true damage and heal a ton with death's dance. I am not looking for an argument, I am just wondering how many of you guys in the community agree that Fiora should be nerfed. I did get a reply saying that she is indeed busted and overpowered. They told me that they can't get my message to the developers and instead should spread the word about it via the message boards. Feel free to give your thoughts, should Fiora be nerfed, and if so, how? Rude comments and harassment to others thoughts are not allowed. I look forward to having this discussion.

i think her q cd (when it actually hits) needs a higher cd, having that much mobility on her is just unfair

She isn't popular at the moment so you'll find no support for her to be nerfed. I do find her entire concept of doing ridiculous amounts of uncounterable health scaling true damage to be quite broken though.

all true damage should be removed period, plus new DD is so broken they needa revert it, but yea fiora is just dumb when ahead and even behind can cuck you

If you wanna nerf a top laner I think Darius Yasuo Urgot Illaoi Akali are all more deserving then fiora.

I started playing fiora alot recently and she isn't as broken as i originally thought she was. The only thing stupid about her is her W but it has a reasonable CD imo.

In my opinion, Fiora has a very powerful kit and I do agree she needs a nerf. Fiora with 300 ad has a passive that does 16% of the targets max hp per vital hit. She has her q that makes it very easy to hit the vitals especially with the ability prioritizing people affected by her r or passive. When you add armor pen and armor reduction to the mix her r and passive get even more broken. Her r that can be expected by its self if you hit all the vials to do 68.9% max hp (452 ad with a black cleaver and dusk for armor pen and reduction) can easily do 8192 damage to the training dummy. The dummy does have no armor but with Fiora's passive and ult damage type this doesn't change too much because her r and passive do % max hp true damage so both armor and hp won't change the outcome of the damage.

I would say the scaling of her passive should be reduced and changed from true damage to physical or do something else with her passive. If riot changed her passive her ult would also be affected because her ult just creates 4 passives that stick around and do a lot of damage if all 4 are hit.

Other than her passive/ult the only real thing that is unreasonable with her kit is her Ripost (w). Its ability to block all damage that isn't a tower. She can block damage from any direction and then use any cc to stun a person hit. I don't see why she is able to use her sword to block stuff like a Mord r, Rumble Fire, or a few other bits of damage in the league that a sword can block. From her lore, it can make minor sense because of Demacia being the anti-magic faction but still blocking fire from a flame-throwing that isn't magic shouldn't be blocked by a simple rapier.

These are my opinions and my view on the current Fiora. I understand the difficulty in managing balance and expectations in game development. What I have put here is my opinion on how I see Fiora and her current kit. I don't expect anything I put here to be used to change anything but I prefer to speak my part to start something.

How is it that everyone's skirting over this line?

Otherwise no she isn't OP

Fiora's not broken. She get destroyed easily by auto attacking champs like Jax and Yi late game. Maybe tryndamere if tryndamere takes ghost to prevent Fiora kiting.

I don't know what elo you guys are at, and you cannot tell if a champ is broken or not based on statistics on matchup.gg or champion.gg or w/e, because there are a lot of people in different elos play fiora but doesn't really main her. I've really really rarely seen a fiora main, even fell behind, not end up getting fed and 1v1, 1v2 easily mid-late game, and I'm still playing on different elos from diamond 4 to low gold, since I have 3 smurfs. Just look at akali winrate on those websites then, akali since her work has never been above 48% winrate and she still got nerfed to the ground, and what is her winrate right now?

I think she shouldn’t get buffed because she can get counter picked really easily like if u pick pantheon or trundle or Garen
