People kept asking me why I only play tanky top champs instead of carries?

Fiora

Literally this bitch. I tried going off-tank top lane for once as Jax , and I ended up having to go against her.

It's not fair at all! Her passive has no cooldown, so she gets to poke me as much as she wants with her Q+AA. Hell, I can't even get to stay around for minion cs due to her stupid passive proccing off on her for sustain(do note that her passive also heals, for no reason at all. Not like an AoE heal isn't enough)

#Why didn't you use your E?

I did. Fucktons of times. It did blocked her Q once, but due to her freakish mobility, she was always being able to catch up to me just to proc off the stupid passive that keeps clinging onto me. Then she procs her E which blocks both my E & AAs. I swore she literally blocked me more than one damage from me.

#Didn't you call your jungler for a gank?

Bot lane has way more trouble than I do, so I had to fend her off myself. I'm usually the type of guy who tries to fight independently so that I won't always have to be this one guy who goes "Report jungler for no ganks!". But it just seems too impossible. She has too much pressure, her Q prioritizes champions in the middle of a minion wave, and her base damages are too high, even making my ult looks as soft as a tissue.

So for now, I can tolerate the current Fiora state just because Riot wants to preserve her for LCS (also Vayne & Thresh. They sure are quiet about them when Boards were asking about the absence of their nerfs). But I have a few nerf suggestions in mind:

Passive

Deals 3% (~~+「 2.7 + (0.1 × Fiora's level)% 」per 100% bonus AD) ~~of target's maximum health to deal bonus true damage. Does not heal anymore.

Q

60% CDR will only procs on champions.

W

Can only parries one damaging skill.

Ult

Passive removed. item 3071 item 3078 are already her core item, she has enough movement speed.

In my experience fiora has a much easier time against tankier targets than damage focused ones. Particularly if their damage is primarily in auto attacks or some other difficult to parry ability. Tryndamere for example works extremely well against fiora. He can reduce her ad, has no need to worry about losing a big cooldown or getting stunned by her w, and can use his ult to pretty much ignore most of fioras (unless you stand still so she can proc the heal without killing you).

For a matching against Jax it can go either way. If you get the timing down fiora can potentially stun jax with his own e, but given how you can reactivate the e to stun that isn't always as easy as it sounds. The time I played this match up I was the fiora had some pretty frequent ganks by both the jungler, and for some reason the support. I was also running tp while the jax had ignite. He pretty much destroyed me and even though I was only a small amount behind I couldn't really do kmuch while he was able to keep snowballing and carry.

Also I am pretty sure the changes you suggest have an error in them. If fioras passive scaled off 100% of your bonus ad she would be beyond broken. Starting longsword and running full ad marks and quints would make your passive deal more than 25% of your targets max hp in true damage at level 1.
