Fiora's ultimate

Weiner the Pooh··1 votes·795 views

Please revert it please. Both gameplay and theme wise this ult is terrible. Blade waltz was one the single coolest looking abilities in the game, the new one is bland and boring. Riot says her new ult Is ok thematically because she's a duelist and duelists challenge people. This is bad because her kit was made so focused on this one tiny aspect that the kit says nothing about her as a character. Blade waltz defined Fiora far more and far better than her current super lame ult. it doesn't even have an animations. It's a generic kit that could be slapped on any duelist type character and be okay. This is bothersome because why does her kit say nothing about her other than "duelist" when there are several assassin characters who's kits define them as more than just "assassin" and several ninjas who are more than just stereotypical ninjas. Honestly riot fucked this up and need to fix it.

Tl;dr riot made Fiora's ult very generic and bad and need to fix it.

Lmfao really kid? Generic and bad are the very first two words I'd bring up to describe Blade Waltz. It was nothing more than MasterYi 's Alpha Strike glorified, and was only good at finishing 1 person off. It was utterly bad in team fights, and the CD was much higher too. Grand Challenge gives her more than just that, an AOE heal that is lovely in team fights, and more sticking power, and she doesn't have to wait all day for it either.

Get off the easy to play band wagon and learn mechanics, because the old Fiora was just plain bad in general, and offered nothing to the team than damage.

It has nothing to do with ease of play or anything like that because I have been playing the rework extensively. Think about it why does she have a heal? It makes no sense everything on her is single target yet she has a random ass misplaced heal. On top of that her entire kit says nothing about her except "duelist". The only thing the kit focused was "duelist" not on Fiora. Take for example akali and Shen. Both ninjas yet there kit describes them as characters and not them as just ninjas. It's clear Shen cares more for protecting and akali cares more for killing. What exactly does Fiora's kit say about her?

The heal is thematically a Second Wind.

The heal works in gameplay because then Fiora actually has some uses in teamfights.

Her new kit is waaay better than her old, it is up to the player to Blade Waltz around the battlefield with her Q and passive, not just press R and let the game do it for you. This rework was excellent. Not only that, Fiora can literally block every abiility in League with Riposte.


Essentially they took Blade Waltz and spread it out to her other abilities. Her passive and ult force you to waltz around your target to deal damage, epic execution of theme and lore.

That she's the ultimate 1v1 champion The 'Grand Duelist' just like her damn title and lore would say. You really are an idiot if you think that dumb Blade Waltz is actually worth anything and edifies her character. Please go play MasterYi if it kills you that much.

Oh and btw it has EVERYTHING to do with ease of play, as Blade Waltz is just a point and click, not a skill req ult that needs you to actually aim and hit different points of a champion. Again, easy to play stuff, and I just stated how Grand Challenge is better. The fact that your other teammates can kill the champ you ulted, and still award your team the healing is much better than some stupid wannabe Omni-Slash rip off that does reduced damage.

You can be opinionated to the old times as much as you like, bad is still bad, and that sums up the old Fiora in general, especially with that useless ult.

You mean you want the Point-&-Click invulnerability "Free Team Damage Spam" back?

I too hate the current broken ult, but using the old one isn't solving anything.
