Because as a fiora main before the rework, I can't make her work. Her damage is sub-par, extremely rng based on lane ( vitals on the back of the champ for example ) high CD's and her ultimate doesn't add damage at all. Also, what runes?
RiotRiot Scruffy3 votesI think Triforce/Hydra/Bloodthirster are all super strong for damage starts (pick 2 early) then get a defensive item (GA, Randuins, Visage depending on enemies). Late game IE is good if you want big damage or get a second def item if your team needs a semi off tank.
Edit: lucidity boots too.
NullDragon1 votesI really like Iceborne Gauntlet. Good armor, mana which lets her not run out of mana, and the slow and damage increase are both useful.

Basically play tryndamere so? He is useful at least
ChimeiTekinaNasu1 voteslol. No.
Armor Pen marks so you can rekt tanks like Nasus in top lane Lifesteal quints cause your lifesteal is fucking crazy Flat Armor seals Flat MR glyphs
21/9/0 masteries, screw the attack speed masteries. She don't need it. I don't bother with Warlord mastery either cause it's only like 5 damage. I always go for the weaving spells 6% damage, and the feast mastery for more crazy sustain.
For items, go like Hydra/Black Cleaver/Randuin/Visage/BT and boots can be CDR boots or Merc Treads. Though with Black Cleaver and Visage, that's 30% CDR plus the 5% from masteries. Unless enemy is mostly AD, then you can probly get LW/IE instead of Visage and get CDR boots.
Edit: Oh, max order is no longer W, Q, E. Cause bonus damage on W went RIP. So it's more like Q, E, W. You mostly just use Q and E to trade in lane, and time W right.
UltraSceptile2 votesI think most common build now is hydra into cleaver/trinity force, lucidity boots, then there's a variety of shit you can build. Ghostblade, BORK, bloodthirster, or a variety of tank items.
Krys Star2 votesI've been having great luck with her so far, in Ranked especially, if you want to check my history out. I either build a Hydra or Trinity Force first, dependent of the match-up. Now that Lunge procs on-hit effects, TF works wonders on her. Especially with how low cooldown Lunge can be, if you land it on targets.
Sometimes, you just have to wait it out if the vitals are not in favor of your proccing them. Just because a Vital is there, doesn't mean you have to proc it. Resist the urge, unless it's in your match up. Her passive portrays her playstyle very accurately: dance. You just have to dance with the enemy with your Lunge and Bladework, weaving in and out. Riposte opens up many windows of opportunities for her as well.
Also, her ult does add damage. It adds four vital points, that if you proc, shred a tremendous amount of health from the target that they can not build against. She's a true duelist now, with the ability to shred tanks. Her team fighting is tricky now, however, but doable if you play your cards right. Her new kit requires a lot of patience and precision.
You honestly just need to think about her new kit, and process how it works. Also a friendly tip: Lunging into the enemy, popping their vital and using ONE quick Bladework, then retreating, has proven pretty effective for me so far. You can try to get in a second one, but they'll either try to retaliate against your favor, or run. In which case, getting a heal and speed up is good enough.
Only Play Darius1 votesBuild AP just for shits and giggles and abuse that 100% AP ratio on Riposte.
For real though, is she fun? I played her back when she was a shitty version of 
and if she is way harder to play now, I don't feel like losing several games to learn a new champion.
Marthian3 votesNot sure what made you think she was an inferior Yi because her ult was even better than his Alpha Strike.
And she's still pretty fun to play, she just plays way differently, has more counterplay, but more reward for her.
I bought her recently and only played old Fiora once on free champion rotation (did terrible with her, but that was months-year/s ago) and played her again and have been doing pretty well with her. Don't remember much, but her Vitals mini game is much more fun to play with than what her old kit had.
TheJinxedOne3 votesUh, yi could never 1v1 me as fiora back in those days, now i cant touch him cause he just dashes everywhere, cant be slowed by e, and cant be ulted fully cause untargetable and yeah.
TheJinxedOne1 votesI personally Like cleaver bork and blood thirster with lucidity boots. the rest i consider based off of other players
iKhoality1 votesCan she just have a new champion spotlight? It'll be better since her kit is sort-of entirely new now...
