Why Riot decided to remodel Fiora?
In my opinion her old model was tall, sexy and cool looking. New one is too underwhelming with no ass. Also I miss traditional splash art.

Because she was anonimus identity-wise.
Probably you liked her, i don' t deny that, but objectively speaking she was a nobody graphically wise. No particular silhuiette, no colors that reminded demacia... she was more like a gal on pijama.
There were some issues with her face and riot fixed them, if that's enough idk. Honestly i feel these complaints are overblown and due to splash changes and how she was portrayed more about her model.
The community overwhelmingly backlashed over the splash and model changes, and Riot even had to release an official post that they acknowledged that the art changes were a huge miss.
Despite officially stating it didn't meet expectations, they only minorly tweaked colors and refuse to change it.
-An ex Fiora main since the rework.
There's an article on that very subject in the Nexus; "Champion Update and the Flawed Fencer" which also gives some understanding of how the ChampUp team responds to the community input as well.
