How long do we have to wait for Fiora to be nerfed?

Fiora has been an extremely strong top lane for multiple patches. Some would say a year, other's 6 months, but for most, a really long time. If you don't think she's very strong, here's a picture of some statistics: http://prntscr.com/fle2tw

Highest playrate for 5 patches straight and climbing, since April 19th, which will be two months as of tomorrow. Statistically a high winrate top laner for a decent amount of time, especially for the number one playrate champion. Her winrate by game time curve also makes a lot of sense, but shooting up extremely at 25 minutes, though it would be more useful to have a precise graph to show when between those 25 minutes does she truly become strong.

Normally, when champions have high winrates and high playrates, they're considered overpowered. Top lane is a very diverse lane, playrates usually don't hit about 40%+ unlike the AD carry role. Regardless, it's fairly obvious she's too strong. Her counters are in a fine spot too. Pantheon has held the highest winrate top for multiple patches now. Akali, I have little clue on but she has a high winrate (but low playrate) top. Kayle is been doing fine for almost a year. Kennen is already getting changes because he's too strong. The only bad counter is Quinn. What about Riven and Renekton, those lane bullies? Riven is doing fantastic with Death's Dance and Renekton is finally good in professional play again (now that they reverted those animation changes). http://prntscr.com/fle7gm

So her counters are doing well and her statistics are very high. Most high elo players think she's overpowered too, and this is why her playrate keeps climbing and climbing. The facts are very clear, and very much available to the public: https://na.op.gg/champion/fiora/statistics/top You can even ask someone worthy of being considered an "expert" about the game. Fiora is overpowered, and people do not want to wait another patch.

EDIT: Here's a graph of Fiora's pickrate for about the past 6 months:

As you can see, high for about 6 months.

Riot tried to, but she Riposted it.

That's pretty good pun.
