User blog comment:Nhan-Fiction/(Champion Rework) Fiora, the Grand Duelist/@comment-1330314-20130814123325

This is an interesting change from your usual champ concepts. Despite your reasons for omitting numbers, the latter are usually very helpful in indicating how you want to rebalance a champion, even if the numbers themselves are off.

I like how you changed her passive, as currently it's useless past the laning phase. It'd also help Fiora against the current health-stacking meta, which hurt her a lot.

Giving Lunge armor pen and execution potential is a nice thought, but ultimately doesn't address the issue of it being a terrible gapcloser. Lunge doesn't really need too much of an added damage boost, but could do with more functionality, either by making it more versatile (by allowing Fiora to dash to allied units, for example) or by making it more useful in teamfights (e.g. by halving the cooldown of Lunge when used against enemy champions instead of granting a second dash, and having Lunge apply on-hit effects).

Giving Riposte the ability to parry multiple basic attacks would certainly make it more useful than it is now, but would also make Fiora much stronger in the laning phase and against autoattack-based champions, where she's already very good, without resolving her extreme vulnerability to CC and casters. Allowing Riposte to parry either a single spell or autoattack would tone down her kiting problems while allowing for more counterplay.

Changing Burst of Speed to give her a base MS bonus is a great idea. Can't find anything to criticize here.

Removing the damage reduction on Blade Waltz may not be that good an idea. It's already very powerful against-single targets, and its main utility comes from its ability to apply on-hit effects onto multiple enemy champions.

Overall, while the changes for her innate and E seem really good, you've given her straight damage buffs whereas in fact she needs more utility, less CC vulnerability and less of a dependence on expensive items to function. You've done a lot of good to her, but I don't think you're quite there yet.

Also, you mentioned again that you're uncomfortable with number balancing. Did you see the message I left on your talk page?
