^ Now do the same for Fiora, they're just as different as her and Malph.

The shield passives are both shields that scale with HP. The only thing Fiora and Vi's passive have in common is that they both activate when attacking. I think 2 shields that both scale from HP are closer to each other than a heal vs shield on attack. Either way they're both not far appart.

With the AS I meant they both have low base AS. Not that one debuffs opponents and the other buffs herself. Fiora has a decent base AS, Vi and Malph's base AS are just plain bad.

Malph's hands are made of stone... Gloves and hands are at least a lot more similar than gloves and swords.

Vi can knock away opponents in the path of her ult, they are both charges and have lots of CC. Fiora's ult has no CC at all and the only thing in common with Vi's ult is that they are targeted abilities. Again Malph's and Vi's ults are closer in effects and visuals than Fiora's and Vi's.

Vi can use her Q and E as "ranged" harass. Her scaling on her abilities means she doesn't need much of an AD buff either. If you build Malph with AD, Iceborn, Hydra you will have a huge amount of AoE damage on each attack you do (I'm not saying that's a viable build, but it is possible). Vi's only AoE ability is her E anyway, while Malph has his W passive, E and R all to deal AoE damage. So Malph deals way more AoE damage than Vi, they just do it in a slightly different style (they both spam their E as their main source of damage though).

Vi might be AD but she needs defenses as well. You might build Malph AP or tank, but AD Malph is also an option. Again I'm not saying it's the best option, but it is possible and compared to other tanks quite viable as well.

I'm sorry but I don't see how Fiora is closer to Vi than Malph is. I think Vi and Malph are just as close to each other, both visually and mechanically, as Vi and Fiora, if not closer.
