Fiora Skill vs Reward?

TheDangerousTaco·Aug 15, 2015·1 votes·743 views

I didn't know where to post this, So here is the link to the orginal thread in General Discussion.

This is not another "omg buff/nerf fiora" thread. I want a genuine opinion on this question.

With all similar melee type fighters like yi, xin, Riven, Darius with high burst and easy playstyles. Do you think the skills needed to play fiora and the difficulity to master her, is equivalent to her reward? Or do you think the current fiora takes too much skill then what is needed for the benefits of her skills?

What are your thoughts on this.

And do you also think fiora is overall difficult in comparison to other champs?

She's pretty much the only top laner that i can play vs rivens, renektons, irelias and gnars and feel good about beating them(it just feels like I outplayed them and not just simply overpowered them). But she REALLLY needs a buff to her w i mean its like fizz trollpoll but with half the duration double the cooldown and no displacement...and much less dmg. It's only saving grace is that it also procs your passive(still don't know if it was intended). But once the enemy figures out how it works its usually very easy to bait it out and drop the stunlock after that. So I think that they just need to lower cd for the most part. Or let you blink to the enemy whose attack you parried near his "vital". Or simply increase stun duration.

Also side note, I find it that a lot of other players that have an easier time with her are higher ranked players, platinum + higher, who have already mastered the mechanics needed to play her fairly decent level. So just as a survey test, can you also post your Elo rating with your comment :)? thanks

Silver V here I really feel like.... Yeah the reward for having a good fiora in the game is tremendous! I honestly feel like she is a bit too easy compared to the other skill based champions though... Playing her I can almost always win toplane and if not I can roam bot or mid for a snowball like no other! She has a sort of yasuo feel, to where if your awesome early game you stay awesome and if not then you stay as a minor nuisance to the enemy team.

Silver scrub here. She is not "too difficult". I've only had four games with her and won my lane three out of four times. Her combos are easy to pick up.

Silver here myself. I find her early game quite hard for me. It takes me a lot of effort to play her correctly, and the damage seems to only be about average. but once you get items, your late game power truly shines.
