Once Fiora has banned her only real counter (Pantheon) her laning phase becomes unbeatable.

After doing some research on how to beat Fiora THE MOST common answer BY FAR was to pick Pantheon into her, and despite her having the chance of outplaying him, it's hard for her. Other than that this champion loses to no one. Extreme poke, great all-in, unmatched sticking potential and more, once Fiora freezes the wave on her side of the lane playing against her is THE most obnoxious thing in the toplane. She's supposed to be 'the tank slayer', the toplane answer to a tank meta, but she's more she's the 'everything slayer' because no one really beats her.

There's no counterplay to having a vital sit on you every single time another one is busted since her passive has no cooldown. There's little counterplay to a champion that steals your CC with her W. Fiora has the ability to choose and pick fights unlike any other character making it unlikely for you to even come close to killing her. Her ability to control the phase and tempo of a lane is once again completely unmatched.

I don't want to only complain, but a serious question: Of all champions that could use a buff.. they buffed Fiora?? A champion that was already in a neat spot, I don't get it. Fiora

What do you think of Fiora?

How have you done your research? Sounds like you're making shit up. Hyper aggression from levels 2+ short trades, baiting her W, then another trade after it's spent. If you get her to use W you can cast all spells on her twice before her Ws up. It has 24 second cd, in lane if you get her to use it you have a 24 second window to punish her, with no way of her avoiding it. Unless you miss, which knowing the boards is the champions fault. Lots of poke, hitting her with anything that she won't think is worth parrying. Over and over poke all lane. Then she'll think to parry it, at which point you can just all in. She's also susceptible to ganks, especially if she's slightly pushed or even just in the middle, her dash doesn't work well for escapes. Coordination with mid/jung is all you need and you can have a free lane. After lane phase team fight, push team fights, aggressive team fights and you will force her to join her team and stop splitting, or they'll fight it 4v5. When she joins team fights simply watch her and she'll have to use W early on. At which case focus her, she's not tanky, a team can kill her in 1-2 seconds, then you can go back to worrying about everyone else. Fiora is not done unstoppable monster the boards make her out to be. She's strong in 1v1s, so why would you play to her strengths? She's weak in team fights, league is a team game, exploit that, and stop whining and making shit up.
