The patch that made Fiora OP

Patch 6.9 Unique Active - Quicksilver now only cleanses Crowd control debuffs.

QSS -> Merc Scim was one of the primary counter builds that allowed champions like Aatrox to actually be able beat Fiora after 6. Once QSS active was changed did Fiora get nerfed, now that one of the best counter build options get nerfed as well?

Patch 6.14

Duelist's Dance

Health on vital hit increased to 30 - 115 (based on level) from 25 - 110 (based on level).

Lunge

Bonus AD ratio increased to 95 / 100 / 105 / 110 / 115% bonus AD from 55 / 70 / 85 / 100 / 115% bonus AD.

There it is, there's the.... oh wait... uhhh.

Huh.

Those changes contributed but that's not really what brought her back. The change to how fervor works is what did. Instead of adding the damage as an on hit effect you now get it as bonus AD which stacks really well with all of her abilities but especially her passive.

With the auto attack resets and tiamat you get to the 8 stacks really quickly Q + Auto + E + Tiamat gets you the 8 or even just the second part of your E. That's an extra 64 AD at max level which gives her 2% bonus true damage on every vital.

Well now that Yasuo is banned 100% of games, maybe picking up Fiora isn't a bad idea. They basically do the same thing, and one of them isn't slated for a rework in the near future.

lmao old qss use to counter everything from cc to zed ult , buying a 1300 gold item that could counter an ENTIRE ultimate with a single button isnt exactly fun to play against , the changes had to be made and shes not op because of that , shes strong because of the meta shifting in her favor (tanks do less dmg but more utility this makes tanks very risky if the damage dealers are behind , better dueling thanks to her % hp true dmg , alot of dominating champs got nerfed.) which makes her strong in good hands , she doesnt need a damage nerf but a utility nerf instead (make her Q refund less early but more late or maybe make her E Second hit crit scale based on rank) i personally believe she doesnt need damage nerf but more of a utility/mechanical nerf instead or maybe even no nerfs at all since there are alot of buffs going through this patch and the next , specially with lethality buffs that are gonna make assassins somewhat viable again

Sure, shes broken, sure no1 can 1v1 her unless you outplay the fuck out of her, can make her go 0-5 and can still kill some that is 5-0, but you guys do realise how garbage she is in team fights, and i belive thats the reason for her 50% win rate, WOW much broken has 50% win rate, galio has 54% win rate, idk what else to say, but if you just go in and try to duel her, as a fucking ADC, then just unistall this game, for real

Or you could just use the .75 cast time of her w while she stands still to walk out of it.
