Scrap Fiora Rework Poll

Akali Paws·Jul 31, 2015·4 votes·1,527 views

RIP

So I used to play fiora a lot, but I after I heard of the rework, I stopped playing my beloved champion all together.

New Passive: Ok, so I admit that her old passive is meh, but this is just plain stupid.

Overview: Good for laning phase, but just seems like a bad idea in general.

New Q: I like that it applies on hit effects, but why does riot have to make every q a skillshot? By making every new champion have a q skillshot, you are making them not unique. I like champions that require little skill, they are very fun to play.

Overview: Neutral, but leaning towards bad side.

New W: Yes, another skill shot?

Overview: Terrible Idea

**New E: **Literally, the worst possible idea ever. Yes, the old Fiora e is a little op, but it was her only source of damage besides her ult. The new e, is by far the worst thing in her rework.

Overview: Worst Idea since Fascism.

New R: So this seems to work well with her passive, but it just seems so bad.

Overview: Am I playing Fiora, or am I using a healing spell from Clash of Clans?

Clearly you have never played the old Fiora. Well, that is a shame.

I agree with Chaos. Check my history. It seems interesting, I want to see how it hits. And personally, I think it should work out very very well. I honestly couldn't tell if you were trolling or not. No offense mate, but this rework buffs everything BUT the ultimate.

Q- skillshot that applies on hits and procs passive. Allows wall chases+escapes which was hard before because if you couldn't see the buggers when they jumped that meant you were SoL.

W- wonderful, skillshot. I heard it scales with AD. I heard it blocks EVERYTHING. I heard it stuns. I like it.

E- lopsided opinion, but it does reset auto and that was my only concern.

R- we all hate it. All of us. But, what do you do? Riot won't toss it, they were very proud. And I don't blame them, its a really unique concept. It just doesn't fit Fiora. Again, as others have stated its better on someone like Aatrox who lives for war and should aid allies while beating foes.

Passive is a buff. Seriously. No mitigation allowed damage booster that instantly restores your hp instead of over time? BUFF.

I am really excited, and I am very ready to stop hearing "Oh Fiora takes no skill". That gets on my nerve. This new kit is far from skill-less. You have to play in the present moment, and the future moment, instead of just going by the Fiora Combo. Won't lie though, gonna miss that god combo. Bro, when she hits live we can add each other and share concepts and data.

And you clearly haven't either. Now that is truly a shame.

Actually Friend, I did, and I did a lot. She is one of my go to top laners, but I hated the fact that Riot had made her into a lowly assassin that was countered by Exhaust. Now Riot finally reworked her into what she was supposed to be all along; a Grand Duelist

I respect your opinion, but I have been seeing the "she's finally a Grand Duelist" argument alot as justification for her rework. And honestly, it's a poor one. Until she drops her blade and picks up a gun, bow,or whatever else she will always be Grand Duelist and both her kits (old and new) reflect that well.

well fascism is stronger than ever, the fiora de-David Bowie-ification is going through, and Riot will continue remaking underpowered champs into slightly worse versions for who the fuck knows what reason. just part of the meaningless journey.

EvilRabbittAug 1, 20151 votes

She was not underpowered. Once she hit Tiamat+bork (pref hydra ofc), she could 100-0 most squishies without an ultimate then proceed to ultimate into the next squishy and combo them.

FatesDefilerAug 1, 20151 votes

yep, fiora was not underpowered. which is why she was picked so much in competitive, because she's so well balanced and hard to shut down. same thing with plank, fortune, karma, soraka, just so tired of seeing them dominate at all levels of the game before they got their reworks, you know. thanks for that post and the downvote and totally not wasting my time having to type this stupid shit out for you toilet helmets.

The only thing for me about Fiora's rework (along with everyone else) is her new ult. Does it take away from her duelist nature; no. Does it feel like you're playing a new/ different champ; yes. Is it good or bad overall; well.... Her new ult is fine, on paper. I'll give it points for trying to explore her "duelist nature", but everything about it is just not Fiora, it's not her character. Evermore so, it's not practical (or as practical as it could be). Like I said, it looks good on paper, it even looks good in the ability showcase videos, but it is not good in a 5v5 match. Not to say you can't work with it, but one of things I liked about the old kit was that her QWE were 1v1 oriented while her R addresses the 5v5 battle at hand. With the new ult, there's a good payoff for the team that you have to work a bit for (Which I'm fine with) but it's particular method is a bit much and you can miss out on that reward if not full filled. I don't hold it against Riot for trying to "evolve" their champs but completely changing the Ult (which a big part of a champ) like this, not the best Riot could've done for Fiora or any other champ. I feel that they could have kept the old ult and made it so that there is more skill/work to pull it off. But nothing we can do now, just pray that Riot can see alot of players aren't too happy about the rework (btw, no one asked for) and are willing to change things.

I love the new fiora, shes extremely strong, takes a lot more skill, and is actually interesting

Glad you feel like the rework works for you, but it's just not the same way with everyone.
