Is everyone just gonna ignore how stupid OP Fiora is?

This shit again?

She's not immune to CC. She is able to become immune for 0.75 seconds.

She is squishy as hell with that build. Grievous Wounds completely fucks that build over.

Force out Riposte then hit her with the more important ability. She can't move or do anything else during Riposte either unless she wants to cancel it early.

Completely agree.

Also, riposte is not hard at all to bait out. Think about natural aspects of your champions damage combo where fiora might try to W, but then instead do something unpredictable when she does riposte. For example, if I'm playing riven, I'm going to auto q auto q, and the fiora is more than likely to riposte because after two q's is the natural break in the combo where riven casts W or third Q.

Or in a teamfight, there's obviously lots of things she'd need to parry. And they wouldn't all use it at once for obvious reasons as well.

For instance, a teamcomp of Darius top, Elise jungle, Ahri/TF/Syndra/Orianna/some other common utility mage mid, Lucian ADC, and Thresh or Blitz support.

The things she'd need to parry: Darius E, Darius R, Elise E, Ahri E/TF W/Syndra E/Syndra R/Orianna R/etcetera, Thresh Q/Thresh E/Blitz Q/Blitz E/Blitz R.

There's more than enough to force her parry out, CC her anyways, and still have enough to deal with any damage carry mid or ADC. Fiora isn't tanky and the support isn't a true tank given their build path, leaving pretty much only jungler. If even jungler isn't a tank, any competent team will destroy them.

I've found the problem isn't so much fiora in teamfights; it's fiora in lane.

What the fuck are you supposed to play vs that ... thing... 1v1 in lane? At level 6 and with 2 longswords, it's basically "oh look how pretty my turret is painted" mode for me.
