Fiora Nerf

Honestly, I don't think Fiora is so broken. She has some counter picks available, as well as general counter play, so I think that once people learn how to play against her things will be fine. There is just one thing I would like to see changed. The heal on her ult. When used the way Riot intended, the ult rewards you for hitting all four sides of your opponent with a huge AoE heal. It's a game changingly strong heal. For your entire team. But it's totally deserved if you can hit all four sides of your opponent in the middle of a teamfight. The problem is, that's not how Fioras use the ult in the late game. What I see happening is that Fiora will ult a squishy, hit one side, then have her entire team pounce on that person. And they all get the heal, at which point the teamfight is essentially over. So here's what I propose. If a target dies while ulted by Fiora, the heal is reduced to the percentage of their sides that Fiora hit during the ult. That way you can't cheese it. I think with that, she'll be balanced. Let me know what you guys think.

a) theyre doing exactly this right now. the change is on the pbe the heal duration is reduced from 2 to 5 seconds depending on how many vitals she hit before her target died.

b) it will also completely trash her, as in teamfights she doesnt have much of a choice other than ulting a low hp target to trigger the heal. she will never be able to trigger all 4 vitals in a 5v5 while she gets peeled

its also a gigantic nerf for her when she ults a squishy who might die from 2 triggered vitals. and the physical damage she deals.

she will probably crash to 40% winrate with this change and they need to buff her somewhere else. i say, remove her resource bar. she is entirely reliant on her spells to carry similar to yasuo.

and in lane her manacosts are barely there anyways it will practically make no difference to her early game. the only time when shes ever expending a lot of mana is in teamfights when she constantly spams q and e to move around and deal damage.

either way, the weakest phase for her right now is already the teamfight phase where its difficult to fully apply the ult. if its nerfed even more for situations like that, i see her drop far below 50% winrate.
