Fiora hidden power

Why the fuck does Fiora have 50% AS slow on her W?? why the fuck does a champion like Fiora who does the most toxic damage in the game(%hp true damage) have AS slow? why? does she really need that AS slow? isn't enough that shes fucking dashes every 2 second? and she auto wins late game just because she has % true damage? didn't we remove Darius' AS slow from his W because melee's couldn't fight back? i mean old Darius late game was so bad u could just literally afk in the tower till u out scale him. but Fiora? why?

Riot HAS to remove her AS slow, it just too much to deal with her BS kit

First of all, % health true damage isn't toxic. All champions with it are balanced around said fact they have it.

It's an AS slow because Riposte is meant to emulate a parry in fencing in real life. It's a counter-attack after an attack to which the narrow blade pierces through and strikes at what's usually an organ or some other important part. I'd say that's fairly crippling, no?

Also, the actual slow doesn't happen until her animation shows her jabbing forwards. The skillshot is clearly laid out.

She doesn't dash every 2 seconds even at max Q rank unless she builds CDR.

She doesn't auto-win lategame. You're drunk.

On the other hand, Darius can actually build mostly tank and use his passive to deal the majority of the damage, and he's a juggernaut, not a duelist. He didn't need an AS slow that he could perma-proc on any target unfortunate enough to get caught by him once.

What's with the recent upsurge of Fiora QQ threads?

she is over loaded and hard to deal with in lane.

agreed, AS slow is completely unnecessary when her riposte is already one of the best defensive tools in the game without it

Fiora's W is an auto attack speed slow because she needs some answer to guys like Tryndamere or to an extent (in that he also has a stun that can be countered) Jax. She already gets stomped by those champions late game in a 1v1 and can even lose early, but without the slow she'd be destroyed by them.

But, just CC her!

Get's CC'ed right back and gets murdered

Um, Kite her!

Gets Lunged to death.

1v1 her!

Gets ulted and dies

Hit her with CC, and after her W finishes casting and stunning the first dude, everyone else throw their CC!

Catches Fiora in a CC lock and shuts her down.

Her "hidden power" is only effective 1v1 (or 1v2 if you and the jungler throw your CC at her at the same time, get out played and clobbered), and she's weak early phase. Punish her then.
