What Fiora as a champion does now and what she should be doing instead.

This is a repost of a post I made on reddit on /r/fioramains and I thought I would just post it here as well. This post is not about wanting to buff Fiora for the sake of increasing her win rate or making her stronger. It is to change Fiora in a way that fits her theme better while increasing how fun it is to play as and against her.

So Fiora is weak in the early game right now. Its just a fact of the game. If you managed to live long enough to get a few items however she becomes strong. So she is in a state right now where you have to do nothing but try and survive for 20-30 minutes before you can actually make an impact in games in a meaningfully way. And that really isn't how Fiora should be. It feels bad for both the Fiora player, having to play safe and not feed for 30 minutes. And it feels bad for her opponents when she comes online and most champions can't duel her now.

Lets look at the actual stats of this. Here is Fioras win rate over the duration of a match according to champion.gg

0-25 minutes 43%

25-30 minutes 46%

30-35 minutes 46%

35-40 minutes 49%

40+ minutes 51%

Fiora according to this takes 35 to 40+ minutes to come online and start being useful to her team. Before that especially in the first 25 minutes she is very near useless. That's a crazy amount of time to not be useful. Lets look at another late game champion for comparison.

Nasus

0-25 minutes 46%

25-30 minutes 46%

30-35 minutes 49%

35-40 minutes 49%

40+ minutes 51%

Nasus comes hits his power spike 5 to 10 minutes sooner than Fiora does right now. Nasus is a champion entirely designed around slowly building stacks for late game.

So whats my point? My point is Fiora is a duelist. She should be fighting people. Changes should be made so that she is able to fight at all stages of the game. I'm not asking for Fiora to become the next Pantheon or Darius where they have a 55-60% win rate at 0-25 minutes. I just want to be able to fight people and make an impact before 30+ minutes. I think sacrificing some of her late game power in trade for not such a terrible early game would be really nice. If done right she would feel much better to play as and against.

I didn't put any actual changes down for buffs/nerfs that could be done to achieve this. This post is more for what direction I think would be best to take Fiora in. I don't think her current spot as a late game carry is where she should be as a champion, and I think her current kit can work very well if it is smoothed out to be more fair in the early game for Fiora players and in the late game for people playing against her.

TL;DR Buff Fiora's early game so she is more fun to lane as. Nerf Fiora's late game so she is more fun to play against.

Thanks for reading any feed back would be nice :)
