"She'll run out eventually, right?"

Velzard of KozFeb 1, 20171 votes

And instead of running out she runs in yet again with her Q.

I mean:

It would be a shame if champions could spam all day in toplane without running OOM: Riven Yasuo Rumble

Velzard of KozFeb 1, 20173 votes

But Rumble at least does have a little restriction, doesn't he?

LichKing234Feb 1, 20173 votes

he does when his over heat hits read he cant use ablilties but when its in yellow his ablilies do more dmg

HyperiönFeb 1, 20174 votes

He has to be careful when he engages atleast ^^

PrimaquariusFeb 1, 20171 votes

If he triggers Overheated with half of his E stacks, he can use the second one in a short window

Obvious solution is bringing in Magic Stick/Wand from DotA2 for heals/mana every time an enemy casts a spell.

Yasuo beats fiora though

AeróFeb 1, 20176 votes

You'd have to play really well. There's a reason many high elo yasuo mains, Yassuo for example, say fiora and pantheon are like yasuo's biggest counters in lane.

Unlucky47Feb 1, 20178 votes

Actually you don't even have to be that good with him. Im going to let you in on a secret from when I mained fiora. His windwall blocks your parry. Plus his zeal power spike is stronger than your tiamat spike and as long as he just avoids you he'll win. Any half competent yasuo can beat a fiora if they know that the parry can be windwalled.

Even with out that yasuo can win since he out damages her without even needing to hit vitals.

Other way around...

Oakleaf RangerFeb 1, 20172 votes

LUL that ain't true, yasuo can't match her damage during the early to mid game, maybe late game. Plus at 6 he can easily die to an all in if he steps too far from tower. Also Fiora's lane sustain outclasses Yasou's.

Do you know how many times I've seen a Fiora fail reposte and just get full on Annie ulted. Half of them aren't smart enough to build tank, and the other half play against smart people who know how to block vitals.

Tip: when she's trying to hit your last vital in a 1v1 on her ult, stand against a wall and she can't get it. I've lost so many 1v1s to that.

Unlucky47Feb 1, 201711 votes

Fiora can 1v1 a lot of people though. Probably around the same amount as yasuo. They are equally cancer in my opinion and I used to play her.

I haven't seen a Fiora win top lane in a while. I've seen her have okay mid games and I've seen full ad fioras burst down my adc, but it's so easy to counter her in my opinion. She doesn't have too much animation canceling, so it's not too hard to land a cc on her before her q ends and she ripostes it. I guess these might be too high skill of tactics for normal players, but no normal players are good at fiora in the first place. Whenever I play fiora I always lose lane because I suck at her. IT takes a good fiora to climb and she's not easy to learn. People used to make fun of others when they played Fiora. She's not a issue and she outplays herself more often than you outplay her, so it's pretty easy.

If they were half competent fioras they would know that with q you can cancel your w animation so you w as youre qing

Considering animation canceling is considered something only really good players use, I would think that Fiora is way more than half competent. I didn't even know u could cancel her w with q.

ßurstFeb 1, 20171 votes

Well ig it isnt a very commonly known thing below plat, I didnt even see plat players using it a lot. I'm making my way out of gold its aids down here. Last season I steam rolled through gold lol.

Automated RivenFeb 1, 20172 votes

you can ,.. its epic. my favorite animation cancel in the game tho. works great for viegar

SH AzykanFeb 1, 20171 votes

its not an animation cancel of the W, its you cast Q and W immediately after, you start the W channel while in Q's animation meaning you get it off with less down time. However there are very few cases where that is ideal at all (one being while running from a gank if you know they are firing cc at you)

Serika ZeroFeb 1, 20171 votes

because fiora has a bad early game, she's not supposed to 1v1 kill people till 15+ minutes that's why you rarely see her win top lane anymore. She can only win top lane if the enemy basically lets her win all trades, which she can't do vs most top lane champions unless the enemy is afraid to trade back

There's a lil trick when people go up against a wall, you can pop the last vital but you have to use Q. You can sort of pop a vital side ways. Not sure how to explain it.

i just think its super aids that she scales with true damage, if she fucks up laning phase she has a late game to fall back on, if you lose laning phase, she 100 to 0's everyone on your team. FUN FUN FUN.

OrangesilkFeb 1, 20173 votes

Same goes for... most lategame champions really. She has a kind of a shitty laning phase actually if you outplay her.

Off Meta EvanFeb 3, 20171 votes

Her kit is designed around outplaying people. Like the whole point of fiora is to be this "GG ex out skilled." God. But the issue is that if she fucks up her Laning phase she still gets the chance to do well thanks to that scaling. In my opinion any champion that's gimmick is mechanical skill and outplaying people should be extremely feast or famine. It's the same reason I don't like yasuo, I can dominate Laning phase all I want but 2 items in he's still gonna have the ability to delete my carry.

Faceroll TacticsFeb 1, 20172 votes

Putting scalin on true damage is more healthy than fixed true damage ala vayne, because in that case fiora needs to be somewhat even or ahead to do decent true damage whereas vayne gets the same value every game with 5 points in w

Off Meta EvanFeb 3, 20171 votes

Its situational IMO. Wayne does scale with fixed true damage BUT she is also an ADC, meaning she gets levels later than everyone. Fiora scaling with Ad means that she has the potential to have higher or equal true damage to vayne, not through some kind of gimmick that's stoppable like with nasus but just through viture of items which feels inorganic to me. A champion that's supposed to be this outplay god should not have scaling to fall back on.

Gosh DarnFeb 1, 20171 votes

Fiora is especially good against tanks so I don't know what you're on about. She heals more than they damage her and it's impossible to itemize against %health true damage. The only matchup she doesn't win is other hypercarry fighters like Jax and Yi.

PaffWasTakenFeb 1, 20171 votes

Bloody hell, I just made a joke about a fact and everyone hates me even more just for mentioning Yasuo Tell me, what is the champ who needs to get fixed: A champ we rarely see but who can snowball just from lane dominance, or a champ who scales well only in late game if aren't fed ( just saying: late dosen't exist anymore and you all don't seem to understand that), ends up getting left behind and feeding 3 times of 4, but who's still hated by everyone for no apparent reason other than a single capacity WHO WAS MADE EXCLUSIVELY AROUND THE CHAMP?

Talon is a great counter for both.

Draven is one she cant 1v1. Obviously it is because he does it all

Fiora goes oom if she spams abilities while splitting, and if she all in's once with ult she's nearly out of mana.

ZtokaFeb 1, 20172 votes

I haven't played Fiora for quite a bit now but when I did, I recall staying in lane a long time using only q. Using e/w/q and spamming them made me go oom very quickly... Title should be changed to Fiora that spams her q in lane rather than abilities as she can't spam ALL of her abilities for days... If she could spam her abilities she would be banned/picked about every game which she isn't :)
