@Riot Fiora Rework Ult Suggestion

Many fans of the old Fiora are very disappointed to see that she has changed dramatically due to the rework. Many people say that her ult is too hard to proc in a team fight and needs changing. I have a suggestion that will make the fans of the old Fiora happy, and the people who said the old Fiora was too op will also be happy.

My suggestion is to incorporate the old Fiora's ult with the newly reworked one to balance her and make her more of a team player, while giving her the old feel, that people still love.

New Ultimate:

Blade Waltz + Grand Challenge Name: undetermined

Cost: 100 mana Range: 350 Cooldown: undetermined

Fiora targets an enemy champion striking them 5 times (dealing small true damage & physical damage), while making her untargetable. If the target dies, Fiora and her allies in the area are healed over the next few seconds, and the cooldown is reduced by 20%.

Changes:

  • Fiora no longer needs to hit all four vitals for the AOE healing, she just needs to kill the target using the ult.
  • The ultimate is now a single target spell, only targets one enemy champion (unlike the original Blade Waltz)
  • Ult range reduced, so you need to be close to melee range to activate it, for balancing purposes
  • No longer procs on hit effects

Advantages of the New Ultimate:

  • Fiora becomes more of a team player and is able to take down big threats on the opposing team, while also contributing with the AOE healing.
  • She remains a skill based champion, able to take down strong foes, without having an "unfair" or "overpowered" advantage, as people claimed with the old Fiora due to her Blade Waltz targeting multiple enemies.
  • The ultimate becomes a lot easier to use, and allows Fiora to be essential for engaging or sustaining in team fights.

In my opinion, the Fiora rework has made her a really fun skill based champion, but I feel as if the Ultimate doesn't fit right with her kit. Personally I think that this new ult suggestion would be a great rework edit for Fiora that would make the majority of the League of Legends community happy (Fiora players and Opponents). It makes Fiora a lot more of a team player, able to take out big threats while also helping her team with healing. Grand Challenge is very hard to proc in a team fight and usually puts the AOE healing in an awkward area because the target runs away, which makes it less useful for the team. With the new ult, Fiora's DPS becomes a lot faster, and allows her to have a lot more control. It makes her feel a lot more like a dualist with great 1 on 1 capabilities and even makes her useful in modes like Aram. I hope that you can take my suggestion into consideration.

If you have any questions/comments/suggestions comment below.

You seem to be missing the fact that her untargetablility during ult is one of the things that made old Fiora so toxic. There is also basically 0 counterplay for the enemy against this other than "don't get in ult range," despite Fiora having a dash to get her in melee range. With the current ult the enemy can (attempt to) run away. And to further reward this, you want to give a CD refund if successful?

This ult is can basically be summed as "automatically kill selected enemy champion and gain an AOE heal at their location."

I'm still laughing at how this ult would still make her a "skill based champion" by the way...You would just build all damage and ult the adc at the start of the fight. Even if they survive they would have so little health that a few autos or her other abilities can easily finish them off. Who cares then that you don't get the AOE heal, you just deleted their carry from the team fight.
