I dont know if someone from riot read this but here I go, I dont care about the way she looks, looks fine to me however the new skill set are useless, Fiora is a fighter not a healer what she brings to the table in a team fight was that she could destroy anyone in a matter of seconds and continue along, she use to counter most tops, mages and adcs were not able to look at her to the eyes, now EVERYONE COUNTERS FIORA, she can not sustain a lain or kill anyone really and that ult, are you for real? in a game with so much skills that get you away from your target, and flash and stuns, 4 vital points to hit? one by one? for real? you destroy my reason to play this game she was my main champ now she is useless, the one that suggested this should be fired, please riot listen to the majority of the people that used to play fiora and change the ult at least....give her ult back she does not need to heal or anything else but kill she is a warrior champ, not a mage, or a support just give her back her ult or give her something similar that can only target one champ but not that....fix her up...in the mean time....ill be playing Heroes of the storm, they have some sense in what they are doing....

And you pointed out why she needed a rework in the first place. She was simply TOO good at dueling other champions.

The new skillset isn't useless.

It's just Elise Orianna LeeSin levels of difficulty to get working optimally with the dely on her Riposte and the positioning required, so you're going to fail a lot before you start succeeding with her.

Her kit also has a ton of similarities to that of Irelia. Not identical and with some key differences, but same basic niche, and likely going to have the same meta-golem build.

As for fighter not a healer - battle-clerics and paladins are a type of fighter. You can be both at once, which is effectively where Fiora is now.

That said - she feels like a completly different champion. She feels more like a fencer and duelist now than before, but with the changes in gameplay, builds, power-spikes, archetype, what you bring to the team, your power-budget between QWE and ult: it does feel like Riot deleted Fiora and replaced her with a different champion that's almost her polar opposite. At least as far as the Fighter spectrum goes.

With Fizz existing, I'm also not sure why Rito removed her Omnislash >:(

balance patchs are ok...am not saying that but do not replace the entire champion, and again every champ had counters she was not invincible, it was the other way around, it took a lot of skill to make fiora good, because she was a champion easy to cc, almost to nothing vitality and armor, you had to be good to face a garen or a nasus or a Dr mundo and say that you won, but this new fiora in a game that has become so fast so many skills just to get out of the way her new ult is almost useless, been playing in the beta and now in the rift...and it could be that some people actually like her but the majority of the people that used to play fiora do not like this.

I might have to check out this Heroes of the Storm. You are the third Fiora main, I have talked to who has switched to this game.
