So... are Fiora mains the new Riven Mains?

Raoul·Mar 14, 2016·79 votes·7,550 views

I guess you all know what I am talking about.

Riven mains used to be known for not being good to play with. Mostly totaly arrogant "Top or feed" "Riven or troll" characters, who took all the glory if the game was going well and blamed all but them if the game went downhill, with an hyper agressive playstyle and no idea how to change that if behind.

I feel lately, Riven has totaly been replaced by Fiora in that aspect. To be honest, i barely see Riven any more, now Toplane is swarmed with Fioras and hell, I could swear these are the same people...

if someone is a fiora main chances are they are a "fotm main" which is worse than the stereotype riven main.

legionnaire99Mar 14, 201617 votes

:( I played her when she was a winlane carry or fall behind and be useless

Ruin LanceMar 14, 201613 votes

which is why i said "chances are" meaning that there's a chance that they aren't a fotm main. i can see how fiora mains that didn't play her because she's fotm feel though lol.

legionnaire99Mar 14, 20168 votes

It still makes me sad to hear that fiora is getting on the level of riven

When you've always been a die hard supporter of Soraka, she starts to become more popular and strong, and all of a sudden you're pure cancer for playing her in normals...My life.

legionnaire99Mar 15, 20161 votes

Yeah I understand that she my go to support :(

ShadowParkerMar 14, 20163 votes

Alright. Can you explain what fotm means? I'm probably gonna get downvoted to all heck, but it's an honest question.

ShonjlMar 14, 20164 votes

Flavor of the month. Basically its whoever is OP at that time. And there is a lot of people that generally only play those champs due to either A. Its easy to rank up on, or B. They are crappy players that have to abuse OP things to do any good.

And for the most part, FoTM players are usually scumbags and you will tend to hate them, not saying it is all of them but for the most part, they are usually both crappy skill wise and behavior wise.

I hate them for "Y CHAMPION HAVE ONLI 49.9 WINRAT, GOAD YOU ARE FEADING DEM". Sorry for playing something that I know how to play...

Disgustingly overpowered champion that isnt fun to play against? Check.

Champion that supposedly has a high skillcap, but in reality can just be played completely average and dumpster most opponents? Check.

Have a style of trading that is hard for most champions to even retaliate against? Check.

Sustain/shields which make them very tanky while being able to absolutely murder you if you make the smallest mistake? Check.

Be incredibly toxic and flame if they dont get fed in lane? Check.

Yeah, Fiora Season 6 = Riven Season 5.

Leanus CrainMar 14, 20165 votes

Not fun to play? Even though Fiora isn'the the most fair top layers people assume OP =Unfair, not true at all.

Deadly MittensMar 14, 20168 votes

Fiora is a fun champ with a lot of options and tools that feel rewarding to execute properly.

The problem is atm she's also to rewarding when she misplays, a riposte that doesn't block cc still slows attack speed by 50% making auto attack champs feel like they lose when playing properly around it in lane, and the hitbox on her dash seems a lot larger than her auto range, but that might be a quirk of cast animations.

"Fiora mains"........ Fiora used to have a 3% pick rate. Right now she has over 10%. That's not Fiora mains. That's freelo train. Like Riven used to be once you got a hang of her mechanics.

which is basically what riven used to be

For me Dr. Mundo and Cho'Gath are freelo Is there something wrong with me (this was end of season 5) or am I normal?

charcharmunroMar 14, 20161 votes

Cho'Gath is pretty much freelo in low rank, because nobody knows how to kite or dodge your Q.

LeeSin FotY'ers are worse. You can always count on them to feed and peel for the other team.

http://i.giphy.com/qwjVaKS4YtOCI.gif I love playing against Lee. I don't know why so many people hate playing against him.

Shadowjak101Mar 14, 20161 votes

It's really not difficult to position yourself with lee such that your kick sends the enemy into your own team. Not sure why they never seem to do that...

Left Hook LarryMar 14, 20161 votes

Yes it is lol. Maybe not in low elo when you have an ADC stand still and right clicj, but in higher elos an ADC is going to flash/dash/heal/ do anything to get you away from them as soon as you q onto them (if you land the q on them somehow in fights)

I'd say that is accurate.

i find vayne mains are the same way.

dunno how guso hasn't died of an aneurysm yet.

Because Gosu is a good Vayne main with extreme skill on her. Most Vayne mains are nowhere near that.

Riven is way more attractive than fiora and the new fiora looks like absolute garbage LOL

The only difference is that Fiora is actually a strong champion.

Isn't it about time that Riven players stop getting flak now?

BlitzidiousMar 16, 20161 votes

Yeah, I haven't seen a single toxic Riven player since preseason. I actually enjoy going up against the Riven's I meet, as they tend to be charismatic.

Fiora Riven Vayne It's nothing new, with the "SuperCarryChamps" you often get annoying Elite players who either brag all game if they do good or throw a tantrum if they lose first blood.

Riven has totaly been replaced by Fiora in that aspect

looks like people can start maining Riven In Peace. Actual riven mains have a new hope

Thank ~~god~~ rito cuz now noone won't play her except me :D

Only Play DariusMar 14, 20161 votes

Fiora players were like that before the rework too. Just that now she actually has ways to escape ganks so she no longer tells the jungler she'll AFK if they don't gank for her, they find different ways to let the salt out

UrPalAlMar 14, 20161 votes

I don't play her often, but I will say she's pretty fun to play. Her minigame is pretty fun too. Once you understand her kit laning against her isn't too bad depending on what champion you have obviously. However it basically turns into who can play around Fiora's minigame the best.

Boiled TrianglesMar 14, 20161 votes

As someone who hates EPIC RIBBEN MAINS XD, I have found fiora players to be surprisingly well mannered, even more so than the average player. I'm pretty sure it might just be a coincidence but I thought I'd share.
