Why Do People Hate Fiora?

SpookyNeedle··8 votes·1,166 views

So I'm a Fiora main, I'm sorry if you're instantly triggered... I just played against a Lee Sin top, he got demolished. But that was to be expected as it was his first time top with lee. I end up getting fed, and for some reason. The Jhin on my team (mid lane) starts saying how bad I am, asking why I'm split pushing and not helping him. He's not the best Jhin player, I can excuse this because he's a new champ. He starts harassing me in /all chat and their Malphite (support), Lee sin (top), their jhin (adc) all agree. Everyone on their team except Diana, who was fed. Note: Diana was the only one that could kill me in a 1v1, and it would be close, I'd have to hit all my ult vitals. After the game Lee Sin calls me a noob repeatedly even though he was demolished in lane, Jhin also said the same, and Malphite. Being a respectful person; Diana said "gg, fiora". We lost the game because I couldn't carry harder than Diana.

Oh I forgot, their mid laner, the Donger. He was probably the worst offender of harassment in-game, not much post-game. Its quite ironic he was saying I'm a noob and bad and should kms. I had better stats, and more cs.Plus he's playing Heim, not exactly the hardest champion...

Okay! Venting and frustration aside, why do people hate Fiora? Why not as mechanically difficult as Cassio, Lee sin, etc... She still takes skill. Theres an obvious difference between a good, bad, and great Fiora. I played Kayle 10 times, with a win rate of 90%, always winning lane. Now these were my first games as Kayle, ever. People don't say Kayle is overpowered, or easy to play. I don't understand why theres so much hate. To the point where a person on my own team, someone I hadn't said anything bad to, said I was a terrible player. TO THE ENEMY TEAM (I didn't insult anyone that entire game)

Why get mad at someone who has done nothing to you? Was he frustrated from losing to Heim? He didn't play Jhin like a sniper, more of a.... vayne kind of way.

I hope you're ready for the sea of downvotes you're going to get, after saying you main Fiora and that she takes skill to play.

I'll give you an upvote to try to hold it off for a while.

Must have misunderstood you. I assumed you were on the side of the argument that she takes no skill. I apologise .

People hate Fiora because she has massive damage after building only two items, and then she just builds tanky. She's a juggernaut with a dash.

Being the Grand Duelist, she's designed to do the same amount of damage to squishes, as she is to tanks. Its only massive damage if she hits the vitals, she can be cc'd easily with an instant stun, or layers of cc. Out sustaining her with someone like Nasus also works. Switching to Kayle, she's incredibly safe, can dive easily, has a movement speed but and heal, but does sustained damage, more than an ADC, at relatively the same range, she's basically a hybrid ADC, and an unkillable one at that.

Funny...As nasus I had killed her 3 times and she none, maybe once to a gank i dont remember. After she got 2-3 items.... welp she crushed me. I used to be able to 1v1 her.... but then it was insane.

I was referring to late game, not laning. She's a lane-bully. You'd have to build tanky and not let her hit vitals to win in lane.

I won lane, It was like 20 minutes or so in, maybe more.

Have you ever played Kayle mid or top? After nashors tooth, or even stinger or whatever it's called. She's won lane if not already

Its really just people being salty it happens with anyone they can't beat or just want to try to learn to fight just like yasuo or vayne

a well played fiora is a pain in the butt. I hate any champ that is being played by someone who knows how to play them well.

A good equivalent thats personal to me, although Fiora does well against Yasuo, I extremely dislike Yasuo. I don't say they're bad, I might say I don't like the champ, I may think they're not the best if they don't perform well. But I don't say it in chat.

Yas's W feels toxic and he has insane dps. He also gets healed off it. Otherwise Im fine with yas. I hate him tho.

Max HP true damage.

She has to hit a vital for that, something you can avoid. But you'd miss cs. Many other champions have true damage and are safer in applying it.
