Who is a "good counter" to Fiora?

Every time I play in a game against her, I notice that she always does good. No matter who my top laner goes, she usually wins in the end. SO I am curious, who would be a good pick into her to shut her down?

Pantheon is strong against her I'm pretty sure. Or you could always pick Heimerdinger , melee champs like Fiora always have fun dealing with him.

A good Pantheon will absolutely shit on Fiora in lane (or keep her on her toes).

Though people will argue that this doesn't help after laning.

He is only good until level 8-9. After that, even though you block her ult with your passive + W (to refresh it). It still counts like she procs a vital. So after 4 procs, she ends up winning the match up.

There is not a hard counter to fiora .. against fiora its pure skill who decides .. but a late game fiora is only beatable by few champions , u can win lane with most champions if u use your advantages and abuse her disadvantages( when u bait her ult and disengage then control the lane or force a fight)

Champions that are strong or the matchup favors them Kled Jayce Jax Renekton Quinn Pantheon Kennen Illaoi remember a good fiora will beat most of them if she is better than u mechanically and got more knowledge about the matchup than u.

Jax. Jax e lasts longer Fiora w does, so he just has to cast the stun when she's not using w. If she ults you, it's really easy to throw up e to deny vital procs and escape.

Jax gets all of .25 seconds to stun Fiora.

Reason being, Jax cannot reactivate his stun until after 1 second, so he has 1 second in total to use it. Fiora's Riposte lasts .75 seconds, so it's a very close thing.

As you get into late game, if Jax can stick and keep autoing even when Fiora Q's away, he should be able to kill Fiora before his E even runs out. If he gets kited by Fiora's Q so that he isn't in auto range, then Fiora has a chance.

The vital still proc, whether or not you use W to block it.

Pantheon wrecks her shit in every way possible.

Her poking in lane is nonexistent. Her burst combo is nearly worthless. She has no sustain to keep up with your spears. She cannot farm without getting in range to be speared. She is squishy, so once you get some Lethality, you can easily deal over half her health in a simple Q+E combo.

The only thing to watch out for is getting all in'd while your passive is not up. If she Q's out of your E, you won't have the damage to kill her. You also have to watch out for cannon minions, because they will pop your passive.

I don't know about a "good counter", but i find Vlad works out okay. You basically just turn the lane into a farm lane and will endlessly sustain, it's pretty hard to gank a competent Vlad so try that.

Olaf is always a good alternative. As with Vlad, sustain, tankiness and can definitely win trades with Fiora assuming equal skill level.

once fiora gets some lifesteal and 1 mr item she will dick vlad down like the skinny cockroach that he is.

fiora sticks onto enemies pretty well so vlad cant kite as easily with her q cd pretty low if she hits him with itl.

Winning the game before she gets 4 items is the counter you're looking for. Plenty of champs can handle her early on, but she scales in a way that no other champion can really match 1v1, hence "Grand Duelist".

Hmm, I kind of dislike how she is made to be like that. I get she is a "Grand Duelist", but having 0 counter play after some point is a bit unfair. Basically it means that you have to win before this point or you will lose.
