@ Riot About potential "roleshift" for new fiora

Did you Rioters concider, that Fiora might be shifing from a "melee adc" to a bruiser/tank? I can't test it myself, since im have no PBE-account, but the stats imply, that she could still deal quite the amount of damage (%-full-HP) while building tanky. She could easily change from a fighter to a teamfightinitiator: Build tanky, ult one rather immobile (or low) enemy and proc the full ult and you got yourself a AoE-healing for the teamfight. If you did concider this change: Why do you want to her to make this shift? Don't we have enough bruisers/tanks, that can initiate teamfights already?

Alos: Why do you think, the AD-scaling will be ok on the healing? If i concider, what problems the ad-scaling on rivens shield made (over the years speacing), i would love to know your reasoning.

I'm just worried, something similar like, what happened with fizz after his last huge changes, which (as far as i know) should have changed him into a healthier assasin, but he ended up bekoming a tank, could happen to fiora and since there are not that many "melee adcs", i don't think, you have to make such a change.

Would love to get some response please (although, I'm from EUW ;)

I am kind of worried about the bruiser fiora. Going off of the damage on pbe, fiora needs around 100 bonus damage at level 10 to make her ult hit for 25% max hp. With a hydra, that is a q, 2 e strikes, and then a hydra reset for 4 procs almost instantly that can pretty much kill any single target. Meanwhile, her pre-6 (and probably pre-10) kits is pretty underpowered making her power curve potentially extremely toxic for solo queue.

I would be kind of ok with suhc a damage, if she had to build full damage (like right now), but building half tanky and still oneshot people willresult in heavy nerfs and i fear those, because i like full-damage-fiora. If i want to play a teamfightank, i play a god damn tank and not a formerly "melee adc". It's just like i don't want any changes to Zed, that would make it possible, to go half tanky and still oneshot their squishies. If we need more teamfightbruisers, they should make new champs, that fit that role and not change old ones to a completely new role (imo)...
