Yet another proof that people fail to see what Fiora is -> "High risk, high pay-off" champion. She does not need cc(unless you want her instabanned). It's just not her style. You want Fiora with cc? -> ask someone to pick Leona(or any cc-centered, LOW DAMAGE champion).

On the buff note:

Duelist buff -> Old passive is fine at it is and it certainly don't need buffs. Why? Fiora is not a tank and definetly not a Garen. You want sustain? Go for BT. Her passive is designed to outlast scirmishes EARLY game vs most champions(since Darius' passive eats Fiora -_- ). Buffing her passive will just help her snowball EVERYONE!

Lunge buff -> Simply NO! Lunge's role is a gap closer. Give it crit and more CD... fine. But CD starting after the first NO! And that come from a hard Fiora fan... Not underrated she will shine like no one else. Why? Ultimate TOO OP!

Riposte tweek -> -_- Fine by me. Since anyway most people do hate Darius AS reduction on his Cripple rather than his ridiculous OP Hemorrhage...

Burst of Speed -> I rarely go into mana hungry state... I don't mind the ms reduction though... It's neglectable.

Blade Waltz(I know it remains unchanged!) -> That's what Fiora is! That's what her kit is all about. That's the true TOWER DIVER! That's the reason the rest of her kit seems underpowered. Q-(W)-E-AA-Q-AA-AA-R and it's a kill right under enemy tower. And you have more that 50% health to either keep farming or have a chat with the enemy jungler.

Final thoughts -> As any other champions Fiora have counters. But she is versatile. She can top, jungle or even go bot(altho most people will rage quit if Fiora calls ADC). She is an assassin/tower dunker/backdoor mistress. She don't need tankiness nor cc. She prefer to kill the enemy before they have the chance to to combo her. With Fiora you go ALL IN. You either SNOWBALL or SURRENDER! She is NOT a tank, NOT a support, or anything of the sort.
