You tend to do lose track of what you say a lot, I notice.

You still CAN disengage with E. That much hasn't changed. Thing is, now you have options: being able to go all in or just say 'fuck it' and escape. That's what dueling is about, really: picking when the right time to strike is, taking advantage of your oppenent's inability to read you (which is difficult when you consider how counterplay works) and backing off when the fight grows too much. Balancing those three things while trying to put that into a fencer/swordsman-esque champion is not an easy task but should be a fun challenge all the same.

If anything, though, I'd rather you make up your mind 'fore taking your criticism seriously. This is the opposite of what you said the other day and frankly not getting a straight answer from you is giving me a headache. The only usuable thing you've said that has any consistency is about Lunge, which I can look at to make better without outright buffing it.

Here's another thing to consider: Some champions have multiple playstyles among characters, even among those who have pidgeon-holed roles like Fiora (aside from Bruiser-Fiora. That doesn't quite work at present due to her W not being the defense option she's looking for or needs, and her sustain option is paltry in comparison to other bruisers or bruiser/carries).
