Just a suggestion from a Fiora player.

Hi, I've heard hints at Fiora reworks and changes for a long time. The issue being that Fiora only has the option to either go in and destroy her target(s) first or attempt to get close only to get cc'd and die. (the struggles of a melee adc) My response to her weaknesses have been to save flash for team fights so I can flash to a priority target to take out (but usually die immediately after) or I build Trinity Force because the combined movement speed from Burst Of Speed and Phage lets Fiora get in take out her target and get out. I have noticed that with champions that have a single target gap closer such as Kat, Jax, Lee sin, they are also able to ward jump with their gap closer. Ok, I know this is sounding really overpowered already because Fiora has two stacks of her Q but hear me out. If you changed the first stack of Fiora's lunge to do NO PHYSICAL DMG but apply a debuff "Duelist" to target lunged to (or Ward, champion, minion, jungle camp) then the second Q would do 200% dmg (the combined dmg of her two original Qs) but Fiora CAN NOT jump to a ward with her second Q. Also raising the cool down of this ability since it now has more utility. I hope this makes sense and it is just food for thought. Fiora Thanks, Starcadian

Ward hop is not a healthy thing. Those that do it tend to be hard to balance.

Fiora just needs a whole new kit. Out side of Riposte I don't think she has anything that unique. Trying to build around that could make a wonderful champ. Think if after activating it her other non ult abilities did something extra while it was active. Nothing major, but if you used Q for an example while Riposte was still going you returned the next non ult spell cast at you.

I'm just trying to think of ways Fiora could have more utility/mobility or options without making her overpowered. Its also confusing that some champs that have single target gap closers get random ward hops and others don't. But its understandable with Fiora because she has two stacks of Q but thats why I was suggesting the change to her Q as well. I still enjoy playing Fiora either way.
