Is No One Else Still Unhappy With Fiora?
Is Riot going back and changing what was done or not?
Small rant, I apologize.
The art is.... worse than before. They took away her old three part cape, which was such a good idea and a huge part of her look. They took away her red hair. They took away any real beauty she had. She looks like she aged 15 years, went through multiple divorces, and developed a profound hate for children. She's essentially Cruella de Vil. I don't like how they changed her color scheme to pink/purple from red/yellow. Her old jacket with a popped collar gave her a dominant look, which is what (from what I know) they were going for. Now she just wears a white plate. Her hair used to actually blend with the dark to red colors, and looked whispy, but now its just like an odd bowl cut with a purple highlight. I actually bought a skin because I just didn't like her default splash at all.
Her game play is any better. Her old Q at least had a decent cooldown so that you could use the two charges and have a time where you needed to be cautious. Now you can just build cooldown and dash every 3 seconds. The vital game had so much potential, but the base stats for her abilities just made it an unfair niche that allowed her to make her opponent not even farm. The counter had a ton of potential too. Fiora as a duelist really needed something like parry or counter, but making an ability that just makes you immune to all incoming damage and only shoot back the CC isn't really a counter. I've seen Fiora's use the W more often to just block a mage burst then to actually counter someone in lane. Her ultimate is the worst of them. She is a duelist, and is supposed to thrive in 1v1's, not teamfights. Her trade-off is to not have a great multi fight presence, but now she gives an AOE heal. Why? And she doesn't even need to get the kill to get the heal. She looks more like a support with Braum sheild and a Janna ult.
It's just sad. Fiora was my first real main and I loved her old kit and splash. I refuse to play her now. She's not fun to play or to play against. Laning as her isn't a high skill intense duel, its just pressing Q and winning enough trades to all in, or if you aren't winning a trade just W their cc and run.
Maybe I'm just butthurt about it, but I feel like as a whole she was just ruined and turned into a perma-ban faceroll champ when I was expecting a Lee Sin skill level duelist.
nor have I played her regularly before the rework other than the occasional roll in ARAM, but I have no issues with her VU. I think the current art/design of her is on par with her lore. That she took on major responsibility for her family, and has this air of confidence and the look of a more mature woman. This, however, is my opinion and you have a right to your own.
