Fiora was a tad overnerfed, here's how to fix her without causing the same problem

Fiora, as an anti-tank champion in a tank meta, has had a sub 46% winrate in top lane over this last patch, and was really hit a bit too hard by the nerfbat, due to her ability to build tanky and still dish out damage. Out of the 40 most common other top laners, only 5 are currently considered winning matchups for her. (Chogath Gnar Renekton Riven Jax ) (Source: http://champion.gg/champion/Fiora) As a result, to help her out a bit, and to solidify her role as a hard-scaling splitpusher, without causing the problems that caused her to get nerfed in the first place, I propose the following adjustments:

Passive Heal: 25-110 (Based on level) -> 16 / 19 / 22 / 25% of the damage dealt by the attack or spell (Before mitigation, including Vital damage, scaling with ranks in Grand Challenge) Q Damage: 65 / 75 / 85 / 95 / 105 (+ 55 / 70 / 85 / 100 / 115% bonus AD) -> 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 (+ 70 / 85 / 100 / 115 / 130% bonus AD) W grants double the normal heal if it strikes a Vital.

This will give a much needed damage to her squishier builds. Since her heal now scales off of the damage she deals with a single strike instead of a fixed amount, she has much more incentive to build more AD. Yes, if she goes full glass cannon, she'll get massive heals off vital procs, but with that sort of build, she'll also go splat if she misplays.

Edit: Reduced the heal% slightly after doublechecking my math.

Out of all 40 champs Riven wins no matchups :( obviously a lie just showing how weak bruiser assassins are in general
