How to rework W into a useful skill:

W's active is effectively useless outside of lane except when fighting an adc 1v1 which rarely happens. There is no incentive to not proc W's active as an enemy because the damage  is mediocre and not damaging Fiora during its 1.5 second duration is stupid. Therefore you have to give the enemy a reason to wait the Parry duration out instead of ignoring it. Fiora players don't feel rewarded for correctly timing her W because it grants no additional effect besides damage. Its arguable harder to time than Sivir and Nocturne's shields yet it offers less protection, less added benefit for successful usage and inferior in general.

The solution is to make W steal 15/20/25/30/35 AD from the enemy for 3 seconds if they proc Parry but lower the duration to .75 seconds to allow enemy counterplay by baiting the Parry then attacking afterwards. This also increases the skill floor of Fiora so that she has to time it correctly. If she does then the additional AD buff/debuff will actually make her able to duel effective since currently most Bruisers will beat her in an all in since she's squishy. Enemies would actually have a reason to not attack through Fiora's parry since that much AD stolen could turn the trade.
