Allow Fiora's passive on jungle monsters

I would like to preface with the fact that I have played Fiora extensively before her rework, and that she has been one of my favourite champions in the game for the past few months. I am very happy with the state of her rework, and feel that Riot really delivered on making her a fencer.

The title is pretty self explanatory - Fiora used to be able to jungle rather well before her rework. She had a great AS steroid, AD steroid attached to her W, a surprisingly useful passive for that position, and post-6 she had one of the most brutal unpeelable ganks in the game. Now that she's traded a bit of that damage for some much-needed utility, she's in an even better position to create opportunity for her teammates to kill the enemy, except that she is no longer able to jungle at all because her sustain is now attached to attacking weak-points on an enemy; something exclusive to enemy champions.

Nidalee got a buff where her passive could be generated on jungle monsters even though she had historically never been in the jungle. Could we make this change in order for Fiora to have more than one or two laning positions available to her, or at least understand the reasoning in why this wasn't done?

there's nothing wrong having your abilities helping you jungling, that actually increase your viability and popularity nothing else. especially now that fiora declined in both category due to having her whole kite reworked, you're actually playing a new champion.

I'm wondering if this was an oversight on Riot's part, or they don't want her in the jungle anymore. Only time will tell.

If it were this way, I think that it could only apply on large monsters. The problem with it is, lunge goes for the nearest mark. so what right? well if you are trying to jungle and all of a sudden boom shaco/udyr/ whoever is right behind you attacking you, lunge goes for them instead of the monster. stuff like that. That's the only problem I see with this working. :P

EDIT: I'm wrong, i misunderstood the ability. Good idea OP

You choose the direction of the dash, and the attack prioritizes the weak points from where you end up. It's not dashing towards whoever has the weak point. (Also, I'm pretty sure she can identify weak points on multiple enemies)

ohhh i misunderstood the ability. i didn't realize that it did that, i thought you pressed the button and it automaticaaly move in the direction of the nearest weak point. my bad. yeah i do know she can identify weak points on multiple enemies, in fact the tooltip says "all enemy champions"

This was mentioned many times on pbe forums and Riot never acknowledged it.

3 things they need to change about Fiora.

  1. the way she walks
  2. passive works in jungle, monsters have week points too!
  3. cooler looking ult. and her hair is to short..

Fiora is supposed to be a character who challenges people to duels hence why i think shes one of the best at 1v1 scenarios she fights duels.... so she should be 1v1ing monsters?

that being said i do agree with the post because i personally love champion diversity in terms of oppening up new roles for champs

but its gonna be very tricky for riot to do making a top laner go jungler because recently a similar situation happened when people asked if they could make Renekton fury gain on monsters better and riot said they really needed time to consider it and see where he will be with the new changes so thats all we can do with Renekton and unfortunately Fiora which is wait just my opinion

upvoted ^__^
