Buffing New Fiora's Numbers won't change her fundamental problems

Even if the upcoming buffs do make FIora playable, it will be as a tanky bruiser, not a fighter. There's currently way too much counterplay in her kit to guarantee any damage if you're playing her like a fighter.

Abilities Vitals Great for a 1v1 but impossible to find in a teamfight, there's almost no way to see these things with all the other visual clutter in the game, if Fiora hopes to strike more than 2 in any given fight, she needs to build like a tank. They take too long to appear and they can be abused. Many times an enemy will walk into vital range, see it's on their front, walk away and come back just for it to appear on their back. They won't appear when you're in a bush. Great in theory for not giving away when Fiora is around, but this also removes a ton of her ambush potential and encourages you to avoid brush if you want to do damage

Q- This is fine and the only part of her kit that works

W- The only thing Fiora has that can protect her, and it's so easy to play around if the enemy knows how it works. The counter-CC is a nice touch, but self stuns shouldn't be a part of this game, especially if they're not even going to scale off a champion's primary stat.

E- An AS steriod worse than a lot of ranged ADCs, that gimps your first attack from even having a chance to crit for a better crit on the second one, and only lasts two attacks. This isn't necessarily bad, but once it's used Fiora has N O T H I N G to fight with anymore, it's a tiny bit of burst and then we're back to AA and Q.

R- This belongs on a support, replace it. Half the time you use it on some one who is about to die, the other half the person just walks away from the fight for a handful of seconds until it wears off. Despite how you tried to justify it, this ult has nothing to do thematically with a duelist. Duelists crave glory, and the thrill of the crowd as you battle one on one with the crowd watching. They are not in it to heal their team.

Build Fiora needs everything, and this is a huge problem. She no longer has enough of an AS boost so she needs to build AS She has barely any lane sustain, she she needs LS She has no survivability, so she needs health She needs to Q as often as possible, so she needs CDR She needs to hit as many vitals as she can so she needs MS

Often times I just don't know what to build, I've experimented with her over the course of two days and tried everything but it all comes out meh. There's simply nothing that works with her kit. Fiora could have been good but you used her as an opportunity to push your new minigame agenda that's now spreading to Skarner/Morde/GP. Why can't we just have a damaging champion that does damage instead of trying to play smack the side for a Janna heal?
