tips and tricks to deal with the new fiora.
since there has been some confusion, i thought id gather what ive learned about her so far.
1.) beware of her level 2 all in, it is strong. and by strong, i mean youll get rekt. depending on how she opens up the fight on you, an auto attack, q, auto attack, e will give her 5 attacks in rapid succession against you. one of them being a crit. if she hits 1 or 2 vitals during that process, youre done. she might not even need ignite.
2.) push minion waves into her. before she gets tiamat or hydra, her waveclear is crappy and she will have trouble pushing back. she also will take a ton of minion damage trying to poke at your vitals or trade with auto attacks, since the process draws minion aggro. so try trading with her the moment you have the overwhelming amount of creeps on your side, or try to kite her back into your own minions. (well, this actually goes for any matchup. but there you have it).
3.) hug the wall. you can protect your vitals by moving it into a wall putting it compeltely out of reach for her. if youre a champion who can fight her head on, this also works for her ult. ive been having trouble with people squeezing themselves into a corner, putting 2 vitals completely out of reach for me when i ulted them.
4.) riposte blocks everything during its duration. literally everything, including champion ults, true damage, and summoners spells. the parry stance lasts for .75 seconds and the ability can pretty much only be used in reaction. baiting it out shouldnt be too hard. some fioras ive seen use it as a poke ability. if you see her doing that, it means shes gonna be vulnerable to cc for the next 15 to 20 seconds. in teamfights your best bet is to sacrifice a weaker cc ability and then rotate to the next one to lock her down or knock her away (especially after she ulted).
5.) bushes dont help against her q. something that will probably be changed soon. but if youre hiding in a bush and she has no vision on you, her q will still stab at you and try to trigger a vital.
edit.: i nearly forgot this
- if a weak spot appears in a terrible position on you, move back out of vision range of her, and it will disappear. you can reset the weak spot like this quicker than it would decay on its own and possibly get one in a better position.
this can also be used by fiora herself to get a weak spot thats more accessable to her.
