That aside, Thornmail is a shitty item to buy against Fiora. Not only she can bypass it with her passive (true damage) but she tends to build tanky, and with magic resistance and HP she further reduces the damage done by Thornmail.

Ironically Thornmail used to be a hard counter to old Fiora. She would essentially kill herself because her ult could proc it. Also, with her squishy builds, old Fiora would take a lot of damage as well (it also helps that Thornmail used to be stronger back then) - You could indeed outtrade Fiora just by rushing Thornmail, even if you were playing a squishy champion.
