User blog comment:Nhan-Fiction/(Champion Rework) Fiora, the Grand Duelist/@comment-4881935-20130815012540

Let's see my opinions on your abilities:

Passive: The only issue I that might occur with the passive is that it will either be too weak early game or ... strong late game. Heh, strong late game won't be bad though. Overall, not a bad thing, but I think restoring health based on the enemy health might forced Fiora more into a bruiser. Not something I would consider as way to buff her.

Lunge: Your buff isn't a bad thing. Obviously nerfs from base damage and cooldown will be needed to balance it, but it's good. But I seriously question why the armor penetration would scale with the amount of the enemy missing health. Seems extremely pointless and counter intuitive with her style of play. Most people open with Lunge since it's their main gap closer, so having to save it when they are low health is just weird.

Riposte: I imagine the length would be something like's 2 second to be able to block more than one, and each damage would be really weak since you can hit multiple time. A change I would love overall though because omg, it's just a strong mechanic.

Burst of Speed: Issue with initial bonus movement speed upon activation is her three dashes (2 for Q and 1 from ult) she has for chasing. Her already strong sticking ability even being stronger to stick. Obviously, her ability to just dash (not factoring what else they may do) will need nerfing.

Blade Waltz: They have the damage reduction so it's not so overly broken for single target. As it currently stand, for a single target ability, it is by far the strongest ultimate nuke. 1000 base damage plus 240% bonus AD scaling, and it applies on-hit effects. Yeah, without the damage reduction, using it as an AoE ability is actually more of a horrible idea because killing the one important target is so much better then spreading the damage around.

Overall impression: Almost everything here are designs buff so I really can't say I hate it overall. I like buffs. Any spell I complained about, I already pointed it out so I don't feel the need to restate them again. If I have anything more to say, I might say them again.
