yea, nerfing riposte cooldown is totally gonna give people incentive to not play fiora as bruiser

this is retarded. fioras problem isnt that shes too strong, but how difficult shes to deal with on a bruiser build.

her ad focused carry playstile sucks because her ability to teamfight is horrific, since the current riposte isnt enough to help her through a fight. its also how hilariously ineffective her ult is with even a tiny bit of peel. nerfing the ability that makes building her remotely squishy possible, isnt going to change the way people play her.

she needs to be more rewarded for ad stacking and less for health/resistance stacking. nerfing riposte just forces her into this bruiser build while making it simultaneously less effective.

she doesnt need nerfs, she needs changes that give her a shift in playstile.

I dislike how there's no directional thought needed when using Riposte. It sort of reminds me of another melee carry that can mash his wall of wind and have it block stuff in contact with his model.

using it directional is still a huge deal. while you can use it facing any direction to dodge damage, the cc attached to it can be huge if it hits your opponents.

the main problem i see with her, is that her bruiser build works a little too well, and her adc build almost doesnt work at all.

her base attack damage could be slightly reduced (its at 116 lvl 18 which is still pretty good) to reduce synergy with steraks, the level scaling of her passive could be removed in favour of higher bonus ad scaling.

this would make a large difference towards the effectiveness of a bruiser build. she would have to build ad to get the same amount of true damage from her passive.
