Can someone explain how Tank Fiora is allowed to be in the game?

Now, i don't have a problem with regular glass cannon fiora. Its not that hard to outduel her. But her tanky counterpart feel nigh impossible to beat. Even if she misses every single vital, it feels like she can just auto attack duel you to death without a care in the world.

Disclamer: Yes i got smashed by one, no i'm not just looking for opinions that support my own. I'm honestly curious, and if you have any counterplay tips for Tank Fiora, i'd be glad to hear them as well.

Ban her.

I try to, but theres only so many ban spots, and i don't always have the chance to ban

It was a joke because I have literally nothing to offer here but to hopefully bump up the morale.

Don't ban what's " OP " to others. Ban what's OP to you.

I always ban Nidalee/Malphite/Fiora, if Tahm is there then yeah cause no one knows how to handle a Tahm in lower brackets. People give me flak for a Nidalee ban, but I'm scare of a good Nidalee.

I would suppose its because Riots game designers have to be some of the least intelligent people on the planet. The only people / person with less intelligence would be the people at Riot who hired them.

QSS removes her ult. Yi, Jax, Nasus, Tryndamere, WW, Xin, Olaf, Riven can deal with her.

I get how yi, jax olaf and trynd can deal with her, but itd seem like nasus, Riven and Warwick would have a really bad time

Riven's a little more awkward but since you can avoid her W so easily with all your mini-dashes even if she uses it to absorb a spell you can often dodge the stun.

Malphite Pantheon are two great examples. Poppy does pretty darn well against her also. Guessing DrMundo too when he isn't banned.

Qss Pantheon and Bans. Only things that are able to do anything against her BS

Lifesteal or spell vamp works, combined with tank stats.

Tried her yesterday for the first time since her rework, and she is just rediculous. I was against a heimer top and did nearly nothing while up there (fuck heimer more than anything), so eventually I started to roam and try to get kills that way. The amount of damage she outputs is just unfair, especially for having that much health. The best way to counter act this in my opinion is to remove the health gained when she hits a vital. When her health pool is that large, she doesn't need healing.

Life steal only works better on her when she gets grasp its actually broken on her in lane

Have you considered not trying to duel the Grand Duelist?

Or at least maybe playing a champion that could actually do it?
