Honest question.

Because they had to make her scale insanely with AD or she'd build full tank.

Because Riven's E shield scale with AD.

Cuz when they wanna force a champ into a certain role they commit to it.

Presumably, because Riot wanted the heal to scale with gold (which has a dramatically different curve than, say, champion level scaling or ult level scaling), and didn't expect her to be building much in the way of AP.

Becuase Riven alone isn't enough

Agreed Riven alone isn't enough there most be two twin sister top laners smacking down any and all challengers to their dominance

wow i just looked up the scalings... CRAZY SHIT 「 TOTAL HEAL: 400 / 550 / 700 (+ 300% Bonus AD) 」.... FOR THE WHOLE TEAM that dumb heal makes the team seem tankier then they are and give the entire team an aatrox passive know this that it had 300% bonus ad ratio so hydra will give it a couple of hundred not to mention this is the heal not just the true damage or mobility talking about aatrox or xin with only 1 gap closer ( xin low cool down) no ability to dodge cc seems they really overloaded her kit and aatrox has 25% bonus ad ratio while xin has an ap ratio....PLS RIOT

That's why I run Spirit Visage with Fiora, it increases the heal for her Ult, and for Rav. Hydra.

Because Riot is retarded and decided her having a broken passive and no ult unless you play a mini-game is easier to balance than having no passive and a less broken but uncounterable ult.

All it did was turn her decent laning phase and decent teamfighting into a broken lane phase and 0 teamfighting.

Wouldn't the better question be "why does fiora have an aoe heal"?

Old sion used to heal his team and obviously people thought that didn't make sense, so why does it make sense on fiora o.O

If there is one champ that should magically heal his team by fighting for some reason it should be Aatrox !

For anime comebacks.

As a reward for hitting all 4 points. Which considering how Nazi what is treated as "a hit from X directon" is, it's not as easy as you'd think, especially in team fights, unless you built full tank in which case it ain't healing diddly squat.

Well that's the thing. She actually doesn't need to hit all 4. She only has to hit 1 then have her ult target killed. If she hits 1 mark and her target dies, the heal field will still trigger.

Well if that's happening in teamfights, there's probably at least one of several things going wrong. Either the squishies are mispositioned, the tank isn't tanky, or their primary damage threat is fed as hell. In any circumstance, the AoE heal isn't really something you have the luxury of worrying about at that point.

That doesn't change the fact that the AOE heal still goes off as long as she lands one hit. Not needing to hit all four.

DivewingSep 3, 20151 votes

Yeah, but the point is is the heal is not why you're losing the fight, so it's not even a factor by that point.

Because they wanted it to scale, but no reason to give her an AP ratio - having AD Champs that still have AP ratios without being a reliable buildpath (Sivir has an AP ratio on her Q.. and only that) is no longer a popular design direction.
