Fiora is surely one of the top duelists. It is extremely difficult to 1x1 her because of her ultimate, insane sustain, and attack speed steroid. I've seen many Fioras capable of towerdiving champions with no problems and easily getting out, then coming back with full HP without having to go back to base. They usually build lots of items with lifesteal and armor penetration. Fiora is extremely frustrating to duel and I've failed to duel her with many champs that are even listed as counters to her. With that said, the only reason Fiora is not considered one of the top choices for champions, and that she is weak or bad, is because while she is nearly impossible to 1x1, she is extremely easy to 2x1, 3x1, and etc, assuming that at least one of the champions killing her has hard CC. Hard CC is her bane, because she has insane damage, but is very squishy.

But I would say that one of the hardest champions to 1x1, even more so than Fiora, is Tryndamere. The main reason why he is so damn hard to duel is his ult. In fact, with his ult, he can just jump on the entire enemy team, activate his ult, kill whorever he wants, and flee alive because of his ult. The only way to prevent this is if your team wastes all your CC on Tryndamere. But then you are not using CC on other important targets, such as that bruiser trying to come close to your ADC. Also, thanks to his ult, it is pretty damn hard to kill him. Even if you bring his HP close to zero, he will just ult, kill you, and then survive because of that f***ing ult (and any possible lifesteal items he bought). Tryndamere is just a pain in the ass, and to be honest, I would delete that champion from LoL if I had the chance.

Akali is another champion that I would consider a king of duel. Thanks to her spellvamp, it is very hard to outdamage her. But at least Akali does not have an ult that makes her invincible for a few seconds, allowing her to kill whorever she wants and then flee alive if she is not heavily CCed (yes, I am speaking of Tryndamere). Imagine if Akali had such ult. She would be considered one of the best LoL champions, if not the best. Akali is fine as she is, but if I had the chance I would remove her spellvamp and trade this for better scalings and/or bases, this would make her still have a lot of damage but at least she would not be impossible to duel.
