The New Fiora, is damn awesome.

OK, before you yell at me and scream "It's not the same Fiora I knew, she does no damage, her ult is shit, wa wa wa" let me tell you one thing: She takes SKILL now, and is not an over-glorified Yi. Before you complain that you heard that argument a million times before, hear me out. Positioning is now 100% more useful on Fiora. You get out of position, chances are you are more screwed than normal.

Her Passive

"It does no damage early game!" That's the point. She's a late game carry. Early game, the passive is supposed to be used to poke and heal. If you are trying to trade with it, at least wait until you have all your abilities. Late game however, it is extremely powerful depending on your item build. Build tank, it is only good for the MS and heal. Build mostly AD though, and you will chunk easily. If you think this "mini game" sucks, then move on from this article, you obviously won't like my other points.

Her Q

Not much of a problem here, the new Q is rather great for proc-ing your passive, getting into position, jumping over small walls, and many more. Not to mention making sure you hit stuff with it is vital as it lowers the CD by 60%. Max this first in lane so you can poke much more and do more damage. It is also helpful for farming.

Her W

Overpowered. This W is so damn helpful, but mistime it by even a second, and you will be crushed. Parry this, that, everything. It locks Fiora into place, however, it also reduces all damage done to NIL. Not to mention blocks all CC, and if you happen to block a hard CC, you stun anyone you hit. You will want to use this ability solely for defense, only rarely using it for offense (i.e slowing an enemy while Lunge is on CD, or getting long range CS).

Her E

Whistles So much damage. Not going to lie, this ability is SO POWERFUL. A slow that can't crit turns into a heavy crit. Like a Shaco Q, without the free flash. This ability, combined with Sheen, does unreal amounts of damage. You will mainly want to use this ability for Trading (Not poking, as it burns your mana if overused) and split pushing. "B-But the AS is not even useful for taking on towers!" Here's what I say to that:

Her R

Before you get on my case, yes, it is hard to pull this off, but do, and it is rewarding. People who say it does no damage need a little AD in their life. This thing CHUNKS easily. "But you can't hit shit with it, the opponent keeps moving!" Here are your solutions: Use your E, then Q around to the back of the opponent, and proceed to hit a couple more vitals, or buy a freaking . This item works on Fiora so well. It helps her stick to targets and gives a HUGE HP bonus, not to mention a nice bit of AD. If you are still having trouble hitting the vitals, get one of your allies to CC the target. In teamfights, ult the carry if you can reach him/her, or ult the tank if he/she gets far too away from his team, and then proceed to laugh as you get a massive AoE heal. "But the enemy has speed! They can just move!" Fiora gets a MS buff while near the ulted target, so if you think the target is going to speed out or dash away, ult them, Q to them, then E them, and proceed to laugh as you finally killed them.

I really want to laugh at the people who think New Fiora sucks. There is so much emphasis on positioning you'd think you were playing a champ made for smart people. I have had a TON of fun with her. I really think people are so mad about her new update is because she was just realeased! New champs/updates take time to get used to. The new Fiora is really strong, and yes, I understand not everyone will like her. But there is no need for such unsolicited hate.

Oh yea, and if you use my rank or her winrate as an argument, I won't respond.

Happy dueling! -MasterSomething
