@Riot plz I want Fiora's Blade Waltz back
To be honest, I think the current kit is very good, especially her passive, gives Fiora a really good challenge. However, the Ult, on the other hand, is not as good as I thought. Once again, judging on power, it is very well balanced. But does "grand challenge" really makes her a good "duelist"?
Which "fighter" has a team heal? Riven? Yi? Nasus? Or Irelia? Team heal makes Fiora a team champion not a "duelist", because now the correct use of her ult is to lock down an enemy and kill it with all the power of Fiora and her teammates regardless the cost, because if they succeed they are going to recover anyways. Fiora is a duelist, and she's a beautiful champion (prettier before, on both model and splash art). She will need her Blade Waltz back for her fencing fantasy. Blade Waltz is a very gorgeous ability, and I really hope that Riot can let us keep it. I will fight for such a gorgeous ult even if it seems impossible.
So here is my suggestions.
A little change to passive:
Duelist's dance: Every time the vital changes direction (due to Fiora's strike or after 15 sec), the next vital takes 3/2.5/2/1.5 seconds to reappear.
Blade Waltz: Fiora unleashes her ultimate sword skill. In the next 4 seconds, Duelist's dance only takes 0.75 seconds to reappear if it needs to change direction. At the same time, Fiora's basic ability will receive a buff. (Fiora's passive movement speed buff doesn't applies here)
Lunge: If Fiora his an enemies' vital, lunge's CD is reduced to 0.75 seconds.
Reposte: Fiora can move well casting Reposte, and will attack all directions after 0.75 seconds.
Blade work: Every time Fiora strikes the enemies' vital, the slow debuff is applied. But Fiora cannot cast Blade work during Blade Waltz. (So crit is removed during Blade Waltz)
Blade Waltz end after 4 seconds or Fiora strikes the enemy 3/4/5 times or active the ability again.
Now this idea of Blade Waltz is heavily based on Guinsoo's Blade Waltz (seriously Guinsoo why did you drop it?), and it removed the team heal, also did not increase Fiora's unstoppable killing power too much while greatly increased the difficult and the gorgeousness of her ult.
Compared to Grand challenge, my ult has:
No group heal
More difficult to cast (vitals changes places fast, if you strike them)
More fun to cast (You can Q like URF if you manage to hit every vital points)
More Cool looking (much more Qs)
Will not be used as a escape ability( grand challenge gives speed buff around the target champion, which in emergency situations will be used as a escape)
More "duelist" feeling.
Riot you MUST and PLEASE takes my suggestion into consideration. I'm personally a Chinese, in the Chinese community there are a lot of disappointed voices about the splash art, model and the disappearance of Blade Waltz. Fiora must gets her Blade Waltz back, it is what makes her Fiora.
I long for a worthy Fiora.
