@Riot -- "Ok" nerfs for Fiora

Rito Staff··2 votes·452 views

My nerf-senses are tingling, the hammer aproaches.

I don't want her to become God-tier 1-2 weeks to be nerfed into uselessness after.

Fiora is supposed a great duelist, and her kit reflects that. Thing is, the champion is the Grand Duelist, after a few plays, so is the player -- And I rather that, through mastery, one would become a great duelist, not because of the champion, but because of the experience the player has with Fiora.

So I wouldn't mind nerfs to her W. Making it into a "harder to use" skill would accentuate that Fiora takes quick reflexes and a master(duelist!) behind. Good Fioras will still be the same though, not the "I CAN 1V1 ANYONE IN YOUR TEAM" rather, a Fiora that can pop a good ultimate.

I've been seing her more in rankeds, both in picks and bans. I don't want to be labelled as someone who plays a noob champion, or meta champion. I play her a lot now, and not because she's strong -- no, I couldn't care less -- I liked her kit before I played it, it reminded me of some other game I used to enjoy...

Riposte nerfs I don't mind, hopefully keeping the masses (picks and bans) away,

  • Decreasing the Parry "window" from 0.75 to 0.5 will make it harder to land and encourage mastery.
  • Removing the damage.
  • Decrease the range it has. It blocks stuff regardless, just doesn't return the CC back to the enemy if you aren't close enought.

Also, I'm K with removing her ultimate movement speed buff. Unloading her potential a bit. Please scrubs, drop Fiora.

People have to be oportunistic in using her ultimate.

It's 0.7 seconds dude. That's pretty clutch.

if anything, they could make it that her q doesnt hit people hiding in bushes.

while its been fun, i dont think its entirely fair tbh. ive hit peoples vitals when they were hiding in a bush and i had no vision on them. this is probably a result of the auto targeting system, and that her q is probably technically a skillshot and might be coded not no need a direct target.

thats actually huge in lane, especially when it comes to counterplay to protect your weak spots.

yup

I actually want them to nerf her bad now, no joke. So much people playing her I dislike =P you can check my match history, its full of fiora (so u know Im not just hating because got rolled on top by her).

I was going to main her, but being popular as she is now... what's the credits on that? No fun, I believe she's too strong and that doesn't bring me any joy, despite her awesomeness. Good job with Fiora rito ;D

i like the champion because shes fun. and if they deem her too strong, then hopefully theyll rather fix the q before they hit her with anything.

maybe remove her ability to trigger vitals with riposte, even though thats definitely not really a problem.

honestly, i dont care how many people play her right now. itll die down with the next and update. 5.16 brings 4 of them.
