Fiora.

I had her in a deck she didn’t belong in before the nerf and got wins with her because of her health pool while not really having the cards to protect her. 

I took her out when they lowered her health to 2 just didn’t feel I could keep her alive without building around her. I feel that is how it should be. Any Fiora mains floating around here?

 

I was curious how they felt after the balance patch?

she doesn’t t worry me because I run 3 hush and a moonlight for good measure

    • Fiora/Shen was my go to ladder deck. I feel that that the nerf pretty much killed her, not that I am mad about it, she was top tier for a long time, that is not something you could say about most champions.

  • If I had to take a guess, I don't think anyone is torn up over the Fiora nerf. 

    Though I will say, I don't think I've seen any Fiora decks on ladder since the nerf patch. I HAVE seen her in best-of-three gauntlet decks though. My favorite decks happen to be pretty weak to Fiora, so I'm immeasurably relieved that she is no longer terrorizing the ladder. She was way too strong. 

    I checked mobalytics just before the nerf, and the top 4 champions for overall winrate were: 1. Shen, 2. Draven, 3. Fiora, 4. Fizz. Twisted Fate was way down at 14 because people were meme-ing with him a ton (like playing him in decks with Concurrent Timelines for some inexplicable reason) and also playing him in inferior decks like Go Hard. So, his winrate was being dragged down by the sub-optimal decks. Fizz had no such problem, so he's the real measure of the power level of the old TF/Fizz deck. 

    Anyways, yeah, Fiora/Shen and TF/Fizz were absolutely the correct targets for the nerf bat. Riot got it exactly correct. Fiora is not supposed to be a top-of-the-meta champion. Her gameplay is just too toxic to be so dominant. Almost no champ feels worse to lose to. And I'd say probably at least half of my losses to Fiora would be a situation where I'm open attacking with unstoppable lethal, still have like 15+ health, but Fiora is on 3/4 and she has a single combat or concerted strike. *Braumwave*

    So. Toxic.
