Countering Fiora?

Glîtchy·Apr 2, 2017·6 votes·569 views

So how exactly do we counter her? She sits at a 50.36% winrate,

I'd like to know how to counter her, but also am curious why people complain about Ahri a lot and almost never about Fiora.

Pick a lane bully Renekton is a good choice, Jungle ganks early, and forcing teamfights while Fiora is trying to splitpush. Also having a comp w/ a good amount of CC to lock her down in that teamfight because she is pretty squishy in most builds.

Basically early game focus her lane so she can't get big fast, then mid/late force teamfights while she tries to split push, and turn on her when she TP's in.

I tried Renekton, she just got item 3071 and tore me apart.

Did you rush a defensive or offensive item? because A lot of people will make the mistake of trying to counterbuild when they're laning against a champ that can be a problem, and all that does is make sure you wont have kill pressure on her, and makes it harder for your JG to gank her b/c of the reduced damage she is facing.

Fiora and other skirmishers want extended fights, b/c thats where their high sustained damage/sustain w/ healing shines, what they fear is lockdown and burst.

I rushed Titanic Hydra kind of a mix of defense and offense.

I don't like ahri because her kit just screams low risk, high reward throughout the laning phase.

Honestly about to pick her up if she continues being untouched

About why people hate Ahri is because of his E that lets her hit all her kit in you.

Well Fiora has this when she slows also Veigar, Tryn, Jax, Diana, Annie and Trundle do this as well.

No? If you get hit by ahri e, it's a death sentence. I only agree with Annie

Get zoned by Veigar, you've already shaken hands with the grim reaper.

Indeed. Forgot about him... good thing I don't see him often.

But the thing with ahri is that is burst damage not a constant dps like Jax or a nuker like Veigar

Targeted cc shuts her down real quick. Deny vital procs the best you can. Bully her early during laning. Focus her in team fights. She's a squishy/bruiser melee late game carry, so play around that. She doesn't split push that well since she has low wave clear, and she doesn't team fight that well. But she can 1 v 1 almost anybody. Take advantage of this forcing her to need to group and pay attention to her in a fight and not let her Proc her ult healing. If you ignore her for even 2 seconds in a fight, she'll be able to blow up anybody and heal her team.

Might be a bit biased but Malph is a pretty good pick. He stacks armor, and ~70% of Fiora's damage is physical. His ultimate is really hard for her to W, especially when you use it near point blank. E is obviously good in an extended trade. His passive shield is great against her %hp damage, because it essentially means he starts the fight with 110% hp, rather than 100%.
