got any tips for fiora's ultimate?

AmetDeCrypt·Jan 21, 2016·1 votes·828 views

so I've recently dabbling in fiora support (bot games until I can get my rhythm going) and the most difficult thing I've found to pull off is a good ult. because I'm supp, I don't have quite enough damage to outright kill some tankier enemies that tend to try to dive my backlines, so I try to dance around and use my slows to proc all the vitals, but that's way more difficult than it sounds, especially with all the bots having godlike dodging reflexes. my question being, does anyone know some good tips/combos to be able to hit all four of the vitals as fast as possible and get that big max heal going? even some video demonstrations of recorded games could help.

Make sure you have masteries that give move speed on hit - get boots (that's the simplest way to move quicker) and the damage movement items obviously. It takes A LOT of practice to hit all the vitals, I've logged quite a few games as her and it's a matter of using animation canceling your AA's, move through the champ to get all four.

"practice" :/ back to the old grind stone also I'll have to see what masteries do that.

dont play a carry on 0cs?

i mean you said youre playing bot games, so why play her on 0cs? fiora is item dependent, and has high ad scalings on pretty much everything in her kit, including the heal. she has practically no utility. so why are you trying to play her on a support budget?

there are adc like either jinx, vayne, or ashe with enough utility or item independent damage in their kits, that it would work. but not for fiora.

no utility? she has a strong early game due to her natural percent health damage, her w and e both have some nice slows on them as well as her w parrying EVERYTHING meaning you can essentially tank quite a bit for your carry, and her ult has a heal as well as massive burst even without building damage, making it a good zoning/peeling tool. sure it needs to be more of a kill lane, but look at brand, he's considered a strong support, and he needs tons of items to do well.

Brand has range and stun.

He also has an easier ult.

Plus that wack item Frost queen.

talisman of ascension. your whole team is now hecarim/teemo. and I can save my adc from global execute ults.

The splash from Jinx and Ashe will still F them.

her % damage scales heavily with ad and has low base values, her w has a long cooldown and is a tool to survive rather than... whatever you want to use it for. her is has a single target slow. thats not very impressive for a "support".

her heal just as her passive scales heavily with bonus ad and has shitty base values. its her entire kit thats geared towards low base values and high ad scalings.

really, youre here asking what you can do to make her viable as support as youve found it isnt really working.

well, because it doesnt work because she doesnt have the kit for it. her abilites look kinda okish for it (though its really just the ult), but her scalings prevent it from working.

well I never asked if she was a viable support, I know that full well, but it's fun to use different champs to see how I can set up kills for my adc. the original post was about tips for ulting. the big thing that would possibly make her viable would be if her w could parry target abilities to allies if she were standing in front of them, that way I could peel off, say an annie q or a xin zhao jumping on them, which would be wicked. although I haven't gotten much of a chance to test this.

use it when your team is half health and grouped. plz no flame just sounds like a no brainer haven't played reworked fiora but it seems like a pretty obvious endevour. but it seems the reason you are having a hard time finding a good time to ult is because its bots....

AmetDeCryptJan 21, 20161 votes

do normal players stand around and let you just hit them a bunch? the bots just kinda run away and make it harder to judge angles. also not obnoxious, you have the best in mind.
