Dear Riot: You're doing great

First off, I'd like to open this with one thing: Fiora So much hate goes towards this champion right now. So much. I'm not sure if it's because people suck at her, or because people just flat out think she's bad. That, I do not know. What I do know is? I love her. I think she's in a great spot. Her kit is in a great area where she can poke the living crap out of her lane opponent, and survive ganks if she can play her w right. She's got tons of counter play, but also a fantastic-ly high skill cap.

However, I have noticed many people being thoroughly disappointed, and whining their asses off because riot took away their untargetable, counterless ultimate, which most of the lol community hates. I'd like to note that, honestly? You're doing great. The champion you designed? Fantastic.

All of what you, as a company, have done, is great. You've built this wonderful game that I can call home, regardless of how mad or happy it may make me, it's home. It holds a community. A fantastic community that, despite the negative aspects of it, I wouldn't trade for all the precious metals in the world. Now as much as a community may rage at you, as much as they may hate you, I wanna say that you, as a company, have done something astounding, being that you've created the most popular game in the world, and continue to provide it with ever-greater content that thoroughly shines bright. I wanna say not to ever take what the community says in a negative way, and that above all you should always recognize that some of us here still love what others may hate. What some may think is 'too hard', or 'impossible', the truly skilled players may also think of as too easy.

This game is a great game I absorb myself in. I guess what I'm trying to say is, keep doing you, boo. :)

And here we have what is known as a "brown-noser".

Just to clarify. Jetalen is a gold 1 wukong, katarina and vayne player. The 3 champs that got dumpstered by Fiora the most. He's a troll delighting in his main counter being deleted from the game.

Patch 5.16 Darius Garen Mordekaiser Skarner WOud like to have a word with you about this "great".

Also, with all the armor nerfs and buffs on lee while shitting on community feedback..... I dont think this counts as "great".

http://champion.gg/champion/Fiora She's the worst champ in the game. Statwise.

Her ult mechanic is duck-duck-goose for a janna heal. Her Q has no range. She's kinda like a tank, except without the CC of a tank. She's kinda like a split pusher, except she doesn't snowball and.. oh yeah.. has an AoE team heal. So maybe she's kind of like a teamfighter. Oh wait, now she has no ult. but what if she lands her ult and it heals the team. What if the other team is running away from your well timed engage and using the heal prevents your team from aceing the opponent. Oh.... BUT... BUT... what if you hit all the vital spots. Is this a bot game? ...No, damn. No one is gonna hit the vital spots. Is this bronze... no. NO ONE is gonna let you hit the vital spots. But she has a stun now! YUP, any absolutely nothing else to do with it. . . The only positive feedback she's gotten is from bot games. The Grand Duelist: She's been relegated to bot games. . . . Remove her from the game. It's a disgrace.

I do not mind what they did to Fiora. She is strong in many matchups, just not too great in league of tanks.

But. I disagree with you saying Riot is doing a good job since they destroyed Mord :(

Fiora's new kit appears really cool, even if Fiora might be undertuned right now; buffs are on the way though. Her kit actually encourages "fighting" using counterattacks and repositioning tricks. Old Fiora was more like an assassin that goes super saiyan in a fight for a sec. Was really cheesey and annoying.

The thing is her playstyle seems a lot different than what she used to be. She'll be better splitpushing and dueling bruisers/tanks ects. But she's not quite as strong diving backlines and "assassinating" as old Fiora.
