Can we please do something about Fiora?

Aeraphel·Mar 16, 2019·3 votes·1,298 views

So lets get real here, is there really any excuse to leave Fiora in the dregs in a meta where Riven can face roll to victory? For the past couple patches (a while) Fiora has been relegated to bronze/silver tier, and is completely useless outside of a select few matchups. Please for the love of god don't mention pros play her! Pros considered Ryze a god tier pick when he was a 39% win rate champ amongst the general public. Even still though fiora is only picked in specific situations/matchups even for pros. Would it be too much to ask to toss a lil buff to such a great champ to make her viable for people who sunk so much time into her over the years (400k mastery so im not a complete novice) ] Curious for answers on why we wouldnt buff her tho

Fiora is just one of those champs that can snowball easily or be so bad she is worthless. You decide how to player her. If you are low elo I recommend learning a different champion that is easier to play. I had games lately that I faced a fiora and she dominated me and my team and single handedly won the game. It all depends on the player and skill level/reaction times.

just to be clear i've been as high as diamond promos and have 400k mastery as fio. I know her strengths very, very well. And I've played her since s5 as a main. Shes not in a good place

Again I dont think a buff on that champ would help anything if you are having issues its because the matchups you get are counters to your champ. Nothing riot can do about that. Maybe ban riven next game?

Here's the thing. Riven is not a counter to Fiora. It is currently only b/c of the power difference. In normal situations is a skill based toss up matchup. problem is nowadays the power gap is so high it really really tilts towards fiora. Also there are not really that many counters to fiora. Only really quinn (everyones counter), and pantheon (hard counter). The only reason there are currently more is b/c of how weak fiora is in lane atm until really late

Yet parry is one of the best moves in the game. I dunno runes and what bonuses you want . Like double adaptive 10% attack speed with armor or cdr with armor .

Thats not even really true, the moment she gets 3 items she can 1v1 any champion in the game no matter how far behind she is.

Yeppers. I like to play sol cause he is hard to play as but not mechanics wise . Needs ult and rylais . She is fine

Damage is too high in the game for her. Being a squishy melee and needing to repeatedly go behind and in front of the enemies to do damage just doesn't work very well in the game right now.

I know it sucks, fiora is my most played champ as well and its felt like a handicap playing ever since the runes rework. RIP fervor

bro.. if fiora had a buff she would be busted. a good fiora can almost 5v1 the game. she can be split push dominate where no one an fw her 2v1 and she takes free turrets or she can group and catch a good kill, get health from R and watch the enemy run from you as you can catch up because your fucin fiora. point is, if your a a decent fiora you well do decent in game. If you are a god fiora, you well carry solo q. pro play is diff

Again thats if youre lane mate/enemy jungler are foolish enough to let you get going. Any half decent laner/squad will buttfuck you early and end any chance you had of getting to 3 item dominance
