As a person who loves playing fiora. I see no reason to buff her Q. Absolutely no reason.

Her early game is pretty weak against most popular picks atm so the small extra damage she now gets early game makes trading as her a little bit easier.

Yeah, it makes no sense whatsoever. It'll probably just get people to realize that Fiora is still broken.

It gives you a little bit of extra damage early game so you can actually trade with people. Seems reasonable to me.

I mean it's a barely noticeable buff, and Fiora has been doing terrible recently, sooo...?

I don't get it either. But I guess Riot is trying to make non-tanky fighters work better in top.

Which is a noble gesture and is needed.

It's not even a lot though, seems like power should've been put into somewhere else. Like making her early game q cooldown shorter early game but have the same cd at rank 5.

It's all bonus ad, and that much bonus ad isn't really available at those levels. The most of an increase you'll see will be around the ballpark of a nine damage increase.

It makes sense if you look at the skins that are going to be released this patch. Chances are the fiora one will be worth 1350, thus with the buffs "everyone" will buy it.
