Why do people here try to claim that fiora is balanced?

When she is shown to be completely overpowered in the LCS, which is supposed to be the highest level of play.

Urgot is also super OP in Korean LCS. Should we nerf him as well?

First off, it is far from fair to compare champion success in LCS to champion success in solo or dynamic queue or w/e you want to call it. The games that are being played at the LCS level are more advanced and often use different tactics for parts of the game. These tactics, I would argue, make League at that level an entirely different game. The only way you could compare LCS to "normal people" play would be to look at ranked 5's; because outside of this, the level of coordination can't be and isn't expected. For example, there are very few (if any) lane swaps in solo queue, and there are very rarely (if any again) 4 man tower pushes before 5 minutes into the game. You don't ever see top laners (unless they are just bad) with less than 15 cs and trailing 3 levels behind competitors. These early game tactics have major impacts on the success of a lot of the champions we see played.

If and when riot implements an in game mic system for players to use, and all players get mics (and hopefully headphones so they don't murder their friends ears) then we can compare an LCS game to your average solo queue game. But somehow, I don't see all of those things coming together.

That isn't to say we can't use LCS as an example of a champion being too strong or too weak; my point in the above statement is that it can't be the only reason that you use.

I would say that fiora is a little too strong at the moment; she is able to output a lot of damage and sustain very well with a grasp of the undying and bc build. I wouldn't be suprised to see a nerf to her passive, so she deals less true damage considering the tankier build path she is starting to opt for. The thing is, I'm basing my criticism based of her abilities doing too much given her builds; not simply saying that her success in LCS is why she needs to be nerfed. Big difference there.
