We at Riot thought Fiora's ult was really encroaching on Yasuo's identity...

And being as Yasuo has had that identity longer we removed Fiora's ult and replaced it with a support ult.

gg.

replaced it with a support ult.

What kind of supports do you play that melt faces, ribs and backsides?

Brand.

But more on point... adding an AOE heal as the reward for executing her ult properly just doesn't fit with her theme.

She is a duelist.

What happens when a duelist wins their duel? Victory applause and accolades rain down on them.

It makes thematic sense. Whether you like it or not is a separate story.

The change made more frustrating because I saw basically that type of ability suggested dozens of times as something that should be in Aatrox ult so he wouldn't have just a shit steroid and it fit really well with his theme.

I never would have thought they'd take that idea and give it Fiora of all people.

Oh man! Great point! Why the hell isn't this part of Aatrox's kit? It would fit him so well!

For the record, I agree that Fiora needed some changes.

I just don't like the removal of double-Q and the ult changed to what it is now going to be. I agree the ult was obnoxious to fight against and needed a rework... just not THIS rework.

The only part I dislike is her double Q removal. I really hate abilities that refresh cooldowns if you land them(like Gnar's Q)

Captain AishiJul 21, 20152 votes

careful, next they're going to rework janna's ult to remove the heal because it rivals fiora's identity too much instead of healing, new janna ult will make all her allies in the area untargetable for the duration of the channel :P

The AoE heal seems rather....Odd.

I wouldn't mind so much if it was a heal for herself, but the heal for an entire team seems out of place.

I suppose it's so she a little more teamfight potential.

I disagree with teamfight potential... no team in their right mind is going to just LET you get all 5 hits of the ult. I guess it'll be a tankbuster tool... which is kinda lame.

It procs even if you don't hit all of them, so long as you hit at least one and the target dies, so you can tag an enemy, proc one of them, and if your team focuses them down you get the heal.

Sightless66Jul 21, 20151 votes

You don't need to get all 4 hits of the ultimate to proc it (although doing that isn't so bad). So long as they die after you've gotten one vital hit in the ultimate, the healing field still pops. You can use it to help burst someone a bit faster and then get a huge healing field. That's going to be good in teamfights.

Support Fiora. Sounds fun -_- and yea it would fit Aatrox nicely but they gave it to Fiora out of all people

Think of the wonderful times the enemy flashes away and you dash after them (out of the main fight) and kill them or get the 4th hit... and your WONDERFUL heal is off healing the raptors...

What's wrong with someone having a little utility in their kit that helps their team and not just themselves?

I think it's a fine spell, not to mention it'll probably deal an ass-load of damage. The healing just really helps in teamfights. No need for every carry in the game to be 100% selfish, just like how a few ADC's have vision spells to help out with, well, vision.

I use Fiora alot. I liked her old kit but this new kit looks good aswell it shows it will take skill to use and is what I like maybe now the pro people will start using her. However I'm not so sure bout her new look the new kit seems pretty good but that new look i mean i don't mean to be rude but it seems like it has been downgraded from the orginal. Felt like could of done better on the artwork. How Fiora looks now is meh okay i prefer using my skin nightraven and could care less bout royalguard but the new default look sad to say the old default skin looks better. However when the new Fiora arrives I'm pretty sure that letting HeadMistress out of the vault just for the new Fiora coming out for Fiora players to buy that didn't get a chance to buy at Halloween and would like to buy now espcially me would be amazing to allow players to buy that skin for a limited time then taking it away. Since she only has three skins so it would be nice to let out HeadMistress skin when the Fiora rolls out. =D
