"I play above 2000 elo" sure buddy, you and 90% of the people who post on here.

As for "Fiora should be played as an AD carry"... Why would you think that? Fiora's skillset is extremely similar to Jarvan's (gapcloser Q, defensive W with an extra offensive effect, attack speed steroid E, nuke ultimate) and yet he is indisputably a bruiser. A melee range champ with significant AD scaling damage abilities is not best played as an autoattacker. The only viable melee AD carry is Tryndamere, because all of his skills are utility and specifically designed to synergise with autoattacks.

If anything, Jarvan is actually better suited to an AD carry role than Fiora, because of his passive and the way that his ultimate forces a close-range fight. Fiora's ultimate, on the other hand, is a straight-up nuke with no such utility.

You say things like "Last Whisper isn't well suited to Fiora"... again, why? I really hope you aren't talking about her W there. It simply isn't a significant damage ability after the laning phase, and you don't buy LW until mid-late game anyway. LW is great on Fiora considering that she already gets AD and AS from her abilities. Armor pen has extra value on her if anything due to the synergy of damage stats (ie. every 1% armor pen has more value as you gain more AD / AS)

Regarding Guardian Angel, you say Fiora is a terrible champion for it which demonstrates that YOU are the one that doesn't understand how to use it. GA is a mid-late game snowball item that you buy if your team is already winning teamfights. You buy it so that once the fight is over and the enemy team is aced/retreated to heal, you can revive and push down towers/do dragons uncontested, thus snowballing your team's advantage even harder. I fail to see how Fiora is unsuited to this task. Of course GA is a situational item, but if you are in a position where you can take advantage of it then it is basically the most powerful item you can get.
