Now that people caught onto to her being a BS champ, i thought people would notice. Her kit is completely ridiculously, making even the worse fioras able to facestomp most top laners.

Only during lanning. And Urgot is exactly the same deal as Yorick.

Amazing lanning phase, falls off a cliff for the rest of the game. You pretty much have to obliterate your lane opponent for Urgot to really pay off.

Is this a troll thread?

It feels like a troll thread.

She doesn't really have many counters either. Jax can be outplayed and I have never seen another Malphite main.

Fiora is one of those "Feast or Famine" archetype champions. She will absolutely wreck a team if she is ahead by life stealing through her ult and constantly refresh her E with kills.

However, if she fails to reach sufficient AD to proc enough life steal or do enough damage in 3 seconds for a kill with her E, she becomes rather useless, as she has nothing else in her kit to follow up with.

Nevertheless, you can always try to deny her kills and life steal by building armor items, particularly a thornmail. Since defense stats scales non-linearly, you will make it much more difficult for a Fiora to output enough damage in order to sustain her AS steroid or heal up from her damage.

Counter play aside, I agree that this is really poor champion design. Being so stat-dependent, it is evident who will win a fight just by looking at their items. However, there has been Red Posts saying that a rework for her is in progress, so look forward to that.

There are a lot of champions that have a really potent mid-to-late game that lets them dominate when they get ahead as 'Melee - ADCs' They all have good tools that make it hard to lock them down. You can see that Riot has been slowly nerfing them to keep them from spiraling out of control, Fiora is the one that most people forget about, but I have a feeling she'll see some minor nerfs down the road. That being said, She'll always be a threat and if she gets fed, be ready to stop her. The strategy for stopping this is to turtle up and don't let her catch any more free kills. Catch her out of place or force her to commit to a bad kill and PUNISH her for it.

This is a hard thing to do in SoloQ because people don't naturally work together, so thats why it's easy to win games using this method and why players have been using it to get a boost since forever.

It's not Fiora, its a game design issue, and it will never go away until you hit a full team of 5v5 players all communicating and working together. Period.

For the record, its not just Fiora who does this - its Master Yi, Yasuo, Fiora, Fizz, there are countless numbers of them.
