Okay, another post about Fiora

SpookyNeedle·Feb 5, 2016·5 votes·625 views

I don't believe Fiora is an unbalanced champion.

There, I said it.

She is strong in the right hands and weak in the wrong, when I'm not mentally prepared for a game, I can't just delete top lane. For those that say she takes absolutely zero skill, play Kayle mid or top. My first 10 games with her I obliterated lane, I won 9 out of 10.

Kayle has tons of damage, AND she's incredibly safe, not many mana problems, and she can save other people. I realize Fiora's ult can save people, which Ive done many times. Its not a simple click to win spell. To play Fiora, you have to know your enemy. You have to be "one step ahead" Unless they're just bad of course.

Now I want your guys' opinions on why she is or isn't op, and ways to fix it. Also how you believe you can beat her in lane or how she wins.

Correct me if I am wrong but people who complain about her probably play into her strengths.

I agree, you shouldn't say someone is OP until you've played the champion enough to be sure. Also helps you learn how to counter in the process.

I mean, when you play tanks top lane you kind of don't have a choice.

I usually have forst or second pick, pick fiora and someone will play right into what I want then complain. Thats what im getting at.

Well, usually one of three things arises:

I have a team of assholes who didn't realize an all-squishy team isn't a good idea.
We're not doing draft pick.
When that sadistic son of a gun who picked Fiora is last pick.

Also, playing a champion against another being a bad idea is fine. A champion invalidating A WHOLE CLASS OF CHAMPION is a different story.

Never looked at it this way, very understandable and respectful point. Still gonna play her though. Although her riposte is a little ridiculous.

MelledoneusFeb 5, 20161 votes

Actually considering playing her. Since she's a top laner. Is it a good idea?

VęXFeb 5, 20161 votes

Yes, I have alot of fun playing her. Her outplay potential is very high. If youre a stupid player dont suggest trying

Well, I used to be a successful Zed main, so I guess mechanics aren't too hard to master.

Fiora Is a strong champion (Pretty balanced actually), but I think they should remove her Grasp Proc on the Q. Maybe too strong for what it does and without counterplay. No need to gut her, really. You have to admit that the Grasp+Q is REALLY strong harass in lane. She is already one of the best dueler in the game and a godlike teamfighter, no need to be a lane bully too...

Shes OP because if youre good you win. and it doesnt matter if youre 0/10 if one of the 5 people against you is even slightly bad you will become a monster.

SpookyNeedleFeb 5, 20161 votes

If you're good enough, you can defeat anyone, with anyone. She punishes stupidity yes, but HAVE YOU SEEN BLITZCRANK. That is all

No matter how good you are with a tank or bruiser (which is what is played most in the top lane) you can never beat a good fiora.
