I've personally never had a problem disengaging from trades with the E ms boost. Of course, in my experience, they usually disengage first.

On skill, the Riven matchup is the only one that's really influenced by the non-Fiora's skill. And most of Fiora's difficulty lies in her teamfighting, her laning mechanics are simple. Although there's a lot of psychology in making Fiora plays.

I build health early via Doran blades, and some EHP from lifesteal.

Against Darius, I usually press my early advantage, and get him to be afraid to be offensive. Usually it either works, or he gets too reckless..

Fiora pretty much crushes Olaf at six though, his ult does very little against her. His E hits him pretty hard too.

The problem that Garen has is that he really can't engage Fiora at will. If he activates Q, I walk backwards or wait until the attack animation actually starts to Riposte. I've only really had problems with W baiting against ranged champs with wierd animations *cough* Kayle *cough* but I was playing a shitty game that game.

Pretty much every Riven I've seen in ranked sucks complete ass (ironically saw some ones in normals that kicked my non-Fiora ass), so you may be right on the Riven. But from from what I hear it's an acceptably even skill-based matchup.

Another thing is that a lot of sub-plat players simply don't have a lot of experience with Fiora matchups. Pretty much everyone knows the common top laners. Everytime I seem to play Fiora, my lane opponent seems to lose 20 IQ points. I'm guessing this is why, but being underplayed is a distinct advantage.

Admittedly, I am a more mechanic oriented player (I need to work on my teamwork/communication/leadership more).

My point is Fiora can lane competently against most top lane matchups. Not that she wins all of them by facerolling.

Personally, I've only really had problems with junglers, the hard counters, and absurd lane dominance champs (Yorick). IMO the enemy jungler plays a larger part than the enemy top lane, simply because of how Fiora needs to commit.
