The Fiora change is actually a huge step in the right direction

The buff: Fiora can Q and E crit turrets now.

Here's the thing with Fiora. She pretty much always wins lanes and duels. But no matter how much she wins lane or wins duels she usually doesn't end up winning games. Why? Because she sucks at both splitpushing and teamfighting, two essential elements of fighters of which either is needed to win games.

This solves that issue by making her a good splitpusher. We've actually been saying she needed a buff in either regard for a long time, but all they've been doing is just buffing her raw damage repeatedly, which all of us despise because she's already outrageously strong in terms of dueling and winning lane.

#However

With that said, while yes this is an overall good change for the gameplay design of Fiora, she will undoubtedly need nerfs to counteract all the buffs she got. Because if this goes through without nerfs to her damage, she's going to win lane, win duels and destroy turrets fast as hell.

TL;DR: Good change, but nerf her damage/cooldowns now or revert some of the buffs she got prior to this.

Yes, but she doesn't get her bullshit 'I win Lane from Champ Select, because I lock in Fiora' removed.

So she will completly escalate for a few patches, get gutted because who could have predicted that and maybe buffed up to next Worlds, just like the other Cancer no one likes (Gnar, Kennen, Riven come to mind).

You're right, and they should trash Riposte for everything except it's defense value.

yes it's a good change in the context of fiora, but are the other needless changes leading up to this one going to be addressed or will she get to retain all that other power?

The only change that should have been made to this champion is ripping that bullshit passive damage off her.
