Enriched Technique - Don't like the name. Can't see any basis that would fit it. What kind of blade technique would increase a fighter's regeneration? Not saying that the old name was good, but this just isn't any better. Personally I'd see something completely different for a passive. HP regen just doesn't seem to be what a duelist needs. And if it were something else then maybe this new name would start fitting the skill.

Lunge - Seems a bit weird to add on-hit effects here. I mean 99% of skills which do this resemble an autoattack (or enhance it), but this is just a dash. Though if you get BOTRK this effect could be a nice touch.

But having the ability to lunge to friendly targets... Sure it would be great, but this could be too much. It is no longer just a "small QOL change", it changes A LOT. Especially combined with the W change, Fiora's survivability just skyrocketed out of the roof.

Battle Tendency - again I don't like the name, but leaving that aside... First let's talk about the passive part: I think removing the flat AD would EXTREMELY hurt Fiora's early game. You take away 15 AD for 2% AD and 5 Armor Pen. That's completely unnoticable.

Now the active: this just seems to be a worse copy of Jax's Counterstrike. 1 second is extremely short (Jax has 2), and the cooldown is much higher with no damage and no CC. Don't like.

Personally I love the Riposte's mechanics the way it is now and I don't think that should be changed. The only thing I'd personally do is think of ways to improve it. Like changing the damage to be a percentage of what was actually parried (100% + some flat amount to make it meaningful in early?) - that could let it scale into late game. Or add some bonus effect on successful Riposte. Or some mechanic which would encourage "perfect" last second riposte (increased damage or something).

Burst of Speed - Uh, sorry but you destroyed this skill. I don't think you realize how little is 10-30 flat movespeed. It won't let you stick to your targets at all, meaning that all this attackspeed will be useless. Totally incomparable to the old 21%-45% values.

Blade of Waltz - no complaints here.
