Will champs like Fiora be revisited?

Champs like Fiora have gotten the short end of the stick as far as vgu's go. Do you think its possible to return to champs like these, and make them sound and play as cool as they deserve to? Fiora in terms of gameplay is pretty good but i feel like an opportunity was missed to truly make her feel like the agile, precise, graceful fencer she is. With additions like Zoe weve seen animation quality in LoL increase dramatically, she seamlessly blends between jump roping, twirling and casting abilities. When Fiora strikes a vital that moment should be heightened, the movement speed buff she gains could have a corresponding animation set where she twirls and ducks as if to evade enemy attacks. On the gameplay side, perhaps give her a stacking movement speed buff for each consecutive vital struck, call it "Duelist's Grace". Perhaps damage per vital struck is less, but stacks as well with consecutive strikes. Overall id just like to see a better execution of fantasy through gameplay and art.

Remember when they HAD to change Fiora's face, her actual identity, because they didn't think it was OK for champions to just be pretty for no reason?

And then they created Kai'sa who was pretty for no reason in complete defiance of what would make sense for a void-corrupted champion?

Riot completely changes old champions based only on the whims of the day and never undoes their mistakes. It's complete nonsense, they need to admit their mistakes, and they need to go back and fix them.

Fiora's a high priority candidate for a VO update right now, so at least you have that.

Fiora already has a cooldown reduction on a successful lunge, one slow, and a slow/stun ability....and you think she should get more move speed when triggering her passive? That's utter cancer. No. Just no. Don't suggest anything like that ever again.
