Thanks for your opinion. In my eyes, a mechanically great player can carry with Fiora up until high Diamond... Same with the Master Yi, Riven and others. (comes down to understanding the game as well but the tool, the champion, is just SO strong/broken)

I think mobility should be her main anti-spell defense. Her defensive mechanic should really be anti-auto-attack (feels more natural for a fencer), more consistent than current Riposte which I find really weird to use... I personally would like to have some more control over this "parrying"-mechanic, and would prefer being capable to apply it to multiple enemies if needed. Low-lasting stacks in my opinion could work, when it comes to counterplaying Fiora (just don't hit her for few seconds).

I have the option to make the W hold her defensive mechanic. I agree that it would be awesome to play a fencer, who brings stronger 1v1 capabilities pre-6. Her ultimate then... I have no idea. But I would go with some "stance". The problems I easily run into are:

- If her ultimate offers flat damage, she may quiclky turn into an Assassin.

- Adding more mobility and DPS in the other hand could turn her into backline-diving Yi...
