That's a terrible excuse... No one champ can counter someone, else it means they're broken. Even if 20 counter them, the rest get fucking rekt with no counterplay and that just ain't cool mun.

That is the entire concept of counterpicking though.

What if she picks after you? "Counterpicking" doesn't cover all the bases. Most squishie's weaknesses are that they are A. Squishy(surprise) and B. vulnerable to CC. Some are less vulnerable to CC(Sivir), while still trading for another weakness(mobility), some have counter CC(Ashe) and trade it for something else(again, mobility).

Fiora can't really be CC'd because of her E, unless you have multiple people to CC her which is just stupid that they should need up to 3 people to kill one champion in or out of a team fight and can still CC somebody if they try to do it to her, she's less squishy because of her E, allowing her to block all damage for an allotted time(granted its not very long and she's immobile during that time, but still), she has a slow(again, E), and for all that she still has mobility(her Q, her passive proc giving MS), she's great in teamfights because of her synergy with Ravenous Hydra and her ult heal, she has burst with her E and consistent damage because she's primarily based around AA's, and not just empowered ones like Twisted Fate, she can cut through tanks with her passive and ult %maxhealth true damage, and generally there's just not really anything that counters her.

Picks after you? Sucks for you. Playing Team Builder? Sucks for you. Playing Blind Pick? Sucks for you.

Considering I play a lot of CC heavy champions (or like playing them) I'm not as afraid of her as I used to be.

Although I never feared her as I mained Pantheon when she was reworked. Hell it was a match up that I had genuine fun with.

She is oppressive to a lot of champions, but do is Yi, Galio, and Rammus.

Yi, Galio, and Rammus aren't nearly as oppressive as Fiora. Yi deals a fuckload of damage but can be CC'd easily. Galio honestly is just weird. He's only oppressive to a set few people who he counters by definition, like Katarina. Rammus only counters AA heavy champs like Yi or Trynd, and even then if they get enough lifesteal they can sustain him easy, not to mention QSS can wipe his taunt off and help survive some of his damage.

But for Fiora, like I said, its extremely hard to actually get her CC'd unless she wastes her E like a moron(which is entirely her fault, not the champ's), and usually she'll just CC you back, she can chase, she can run, she can deal burst and consistent damage, she has teamfight power, she saws through armor and health alike, and it really doesn't matter much who you play unless you play a set few champs. Its basically the opposite of Yi, galio, and Rammus's pool... instead of a few they counter, its a few that counter them, and that's just stupid.
