Fiora Predictions

Just putting this here

She's going to be strong, and after a patch or two, and perhaps some competitive play, she'll get her passive true damage nerfed. Maybe they'll give her a full reset on her Q if her Q hits a vital in order to emphasize the dance aspect of Duelist's Dance and shift power to multiple consecutive vital hits over one or two poke hits then going all-in.

Hope I'm wrong; she's actually really fun as she is.

She will probably get a 750 skin even though a Legendary skin would be boss.

i dont think so

she will become strong and then people will start to position in a way that denies her vital hits or play bursty people vs her

you dont even know how much a guy can fk fiora just by standing near a wall

She does have a lot of similarities to Irelia now, so I don't see her as not being strong.

That said - her ult is pretty much an either-or decision now. You ult someone low health and pretty much ignore the dance to get the heal, or you ult someone that isn't so you can lay down a lot of damage against them with ~3 true-damage hits. Anyone that isn't a potato won't let you get all 4 hits off.

With the relative ease you have in evading Fiora's true damage hits over just being super-reliable and responsive like Irelia, I don't see Fiora having a good enough showing to merit nerfs. And I really doubt Riot is going to nerf her true damage if she does, seeing as Fiora's main problem right now is going to be setting up an ideal situation to use it in the first place.

i rather feel like there is going to be a massive winrate drop, because people havent figured her out yet. its gonna take a bit of time and practise to play her effectively in a team.

i hope riot knows better and doesnt buff her or touch her for a couple of weeks, until the storm of fiora newbs has blown over, and the people who stuck with her have mastered her.

you cant really judge her general performance otherwise.

Maybe they'll give her a full reset on her Q if her Q hits a vital in order...

In order to give her uncounterable 50% max HP true damage in under 1.5 second.

Even I don't think the Balance Team is that stupid.
