Issues I have with Fiora's new passive

Fiora's passive is very oppressive in lane right now, and I think there could be better counterplay for it if there were minor changes to it. Currently, the Vital does not turn with the champion, and is instead fixed relative to the map. This doesn't make much sense in both logic and counterplay. A Vital point/weakness would make more sense if it stayed in the same spot on the champion, whichever direction said champion is facing. This would allow Fiora's opponent to guard/protect their weaknesses, as would make sense in reality. With the current setup, laning becomes really weird with a vital exposed. If you're playing on blue side and you have a Vital exposed on the top or right side, you either take a free hit from Fiora or wait it out, zoned. The same situation happens on Red team if the Vital appears on left or bottom. This doesn't make sense to me both in terms of logic and counterplay.

this would make her trash.

there are no turn rates in league, so people could always and immediately turn to move it out of range for her. try hugging a wall or moving out of range to reset the passive and get one in a better position for you.

right now hiding in a bush wont help, since her q stabs you even if she doesnt have vision on you. my guess is that theyll change that soon and youll be able to protect your vital by running into a bush and deny her vision of it.

You can step away from her untill her passive disappears, then come back for a new one.

I did it myself, as Fiora, when the passive was in the back, so it would reappear at a better angle =P

You can miss minions so care

EDIT: However I found that I had to walk quite a distance, meanwhile, the appear distance wasn't that big. If they change the distance at which the passive disappears to a lesser one maybe it will be better for counterplay.

She already has a bunch of counter play tho
