Would Fiora work as a mid?

Onotori··2 votes·1,178 views

I enjoy playing her, but I don't feel like she can really stand up to a lot of meta top laners, since her early game is kind of weak in comparison. So, would she work mid? I know farming would be hard, but she could trade effectively, and against assassins/mages her parry could just screw them over.

Anyone tried it?

it is terrible. she will have to be patient before she can be played top again. the reason you cant go her mid is because of how reliant mid lanes are to control fights. fiora cannot do that as she is very easy to kill due to her all in. she can still outplay the mid lane champions like top lane but it just doesn't work well post that. she will lose to a good mage 100% of the time.

Yeah, she doesn't contribute much to the team besides damage, but that's all an assassin does, and they're viable mids, so I think she'd be similar.

Nitpick: she’s a duelist. Assassins and duelists are sub-classes of the Slayer class.

She's 0-2 in LCS so I mean, make it work if you want but it's really just a Galio counterpick atm.

Faker played her mid, and man did he stomp the opponent kassadin.

But then again it's faker.

Old Fiora was a way better mid than new Fiora. I miss the old Fiora all around (but mostly her looks)

Yeah. If you're willing to put your team at disadvantage by occupying safe lane which could be better utilized by a champion who actually needs short lane to survive.

It's a very niche pick. And if you don't understand basic fundamentals you should not be doing cheeses. When pro's pick Fiora mid, when there is a good reason why they are doing it. "I want play fiora mid" isn't a good reason. Now ofc, that is if you care to actually keep winning on the long term.
