^ Clearly you should take what every player says with a grain of salt, pro or not, and it's unlikely Elementz would ever be able to accurately predict all trends in the game.

Still, the point stands that this is someone talking about the game, who knows far and away more than the average player, or the bottom feeders who scream "OP", "No skill champion", "Nerf!!", and so on. If you have to take someone's word...

When it comes to Fiora, sadly, it is as you say. Riposte needs quite a bit of improvement! Shorter cooldown, scaling from something other than AP and it should probably work on many more abilities.

At higher Elo levels, it is extremely difficult to play an effective Fiora, as opponents will know what to do to counter her. Being squishy is bad by itself, then she's melee, which means that by definition she has to expose herself to retaliation when attacking, no escape or defense tools(Riposte being too unreliable), well, that's a losing combo right there... All ranged AD carries outshine her by a rather large margin, and saying Fiora is OP is pretty much a declaration of limited knowledge of the game.
