I don't think Yi has a better teamfight in every respect, but yes they do share a somewhat similar niche. Also, if you are going to point out the similarities, then let's look at that for a second. What is Yi's ban rate nowadays? What will you do when Yi gets banned if you enjoy jungling him? Fiora is never banned, and rarely even picked. I still do think she has a niche, she just isn't as obvious a pick as Yi. Oh, and Fiora should never, ever get walled by tanks in teamfights... that's player error if that occurs, especially with her ultimate up. Once she gets to the backline, which she should, she can melt carries just as well as anyone else in the game. I understand that Yi is in a reallyyy strong place right now, but that doesn't automatically erase the viability of every other champion who shares a role with him.
