Step 5: She outscales you anyways, claps your carries, and 1 v 5's.

Also just a side note, Fiora claps GP and is decent against Jayce.

She beats kled as well

Fiora's problem is she dominates lane but even if she doesn't her damage scales so well she just dominates anyways so it doesn't matter

I was gonna say, how in the world is Kled a hard counter? If the Fiora is equal or better than the Kled she will win 4/5 times. If the Fiora figures out she can't really get kill pressure, she just needs to play safer and scale up.

As a mastery 5 Kled player. I can confirm that unless its their first time playing Fiora, you are most likely going to lose that match up every time.

By your mastery 5 and my mastery 6 Kled, we have confirmed it. :D

Except Pantheon, because she won't get enough farm for item 3074 item 3071 , and definitely not for item 3072

I can confirm as an avid Troll King player that he does not hard counter Fiora. She easily outduels him after two items and anything before that is a skill matchup (in her favor since nothing beyond Rabid Bite really helps him win trades against her, and she won't just sit there and trade autos). From what I've seen, she has no hard counters. She also split-pushes harder thanks to his Q no longer damaging structures.

Even before his nerfs, the matchup was still in her favor. Now with the longer Pillar/Subjugate cooldowns, she has the advantage nearly all of the time.

actually Pantheon works. Fiora's lunge is marked as a basic attack so her initial poke does nothing, and if you can land your stun then your open to do a full combo and take half her health without getting hit once as your W refreshes your basic attack blocking passive. not to mention your Q is point and click which makes CSing as lets say Yasuo Fiora and Teemo a real pain. even if you block it the cooldown on the Q is pretty low

The reason panth hard counters fiora in lane is because he can q her over and over again on a much lower cooldown than her parry, and if she wastes her parry ever to stop a q harass she gets stunned and bursted down - plus panth q is a spell so it doesn't cause minion aggro or push the lane, meaning panth can easily freeze her off the wave.

The fact Fiora does MAX HEALTH % TRUE DMG means that no matter how tanky you get she will always kill you in the same amount of attacks. Only chance to beat fiora is to kill her first

That sounds like the worst idea ever.

Doesn't her Q literally have the same cooldown as your W in your ult once she gets Cleaver? You shouldn't be hitting a single Tentacle on her, and even if you do, she won't take damage because Riposte (although you will be healed).

Kit wise there's a problem, but the beauty of this game is that it's not just the kit that comes into play. Illaoi's most recent common build requires a focus on her e, so it's typically a goal for me to feint out her counter before pulling, which can be done. Also, my w can be cast multiple times during the duration of the ultimate, so I'm not sure if her blocking one or two of them will be the absolute end of me.

No but you won't hit a single Tentacle on her, even if she stands still and only moves with Q, because her Q cooldown is equal to your W cooldown during your ult (when you have reduced W cooldown). She just needs to Q to the side whenever you W. It's not about them being blocked, it's about them being dodged, although the block is a handy fall back.

Unless Illaoi tentacles bug out and don't show it's hitbox, I don't know why they still haven't fixed that.

Also I don't get how you could bait our her Riposte, she has no reason to use it. At all. And even if it hits, only Spirit damage isn't enough to kill her.

But I've done it before. It's possible. It can be done. There is potential in that effort. o.o

She probably didn't pay too much attention to your tentacles and spammed Q.

A tryharding Fiora with at least mastery lvl 5 would easily fk you.

Mastery level 5 means nothing though. I could bash my head against the keyboard and get a level 5. Even then, it's too limited of a scope to detail how skilled the actual player is. You only need to win two S- or higher games for Rank 6, and then S for 7. That's a mere 4 good games. I've had bronze Mastery 7 champions act all high and mighty as they get their butts handed to them, because they actually thought that's all that was needed to reflect their skill with the champion, potentially eliminating any potential growth with said champion.

Mastery lvl 5 generally means experience.

As a Level 5 Fiora main, do note that:

GP does decent against her, it's a pretty fair matchup

Jayce is a skill matchup, so is Renekton; again, a fair matchup.

Pantheon, Tryndamere, and Olaf counter her

Trundle, Kled and Jax have a disadvantage against her. If the Fiora knows what the hell she's doing, then you shouldn't be able to 'just dodge her W'.

To counter Fiora, DO NOT PICK SOMEONE WITH CC.

Mastery level 7 fiora: -she absolutely destroys gang plank. That's my favorite match up.

  • to beat, you have to protect your vitals. Just because you have a point and click champion doesn't mean you'll win the fight by standing there auto attacking her. Yes, her stats can let her beat most champions, but that's why you have to actively be counter playing her so she can't take full advantage of those stats and her power drops a ton.

i am a mastery 7 gangplank and mastery 7 Fiora , if the gangplank just runs exhaust and know what he is doing the gangplank wins

You can snowball the matchup early as Darius if you don't overextend. You can also snowball the matchup in the other direction if you let her get an early kill, because you'll immediately be useless for the rest of the game unless you get a huge TP play bot lane or something.
