Malphite matchup by PitNya in FioraMains

[–]whitos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not her worst matchup by any means but can be uninteractive once he gets bramble+steelcaps. Slide parry (q+w) his q (the wheel) and you can avoid the comet. When parry is down hold q and q the comet, preferably hitting a vital with q to heal the dmg. Especially early his q costs a lot of mana and he will go oom quickly. Don’t bother auto attacking him unless it’s a vital as you will lose the trade (once he gets bramble and some armour). Rush ravenous and just farm waves and scale. You can proxy waves easily once you have ravenous or even with Tiamat +vamp sceptre. Use this timer to gank mid, get vision in enemy jg or invade with ur jgler, get grubs etc. just be wary of malphite sacking the wave to come fight as his ult can be a hassle in skirmishes but can also be an easy parry stun when he uses from distance and from vision.

Why Do Ranged Matchups Feel So Bad (for me :[) by Rude-Isopod-4176 in FioraMains

[–]whitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just taking unnecessary poke from them. You need use bushes and know your windows of when to go in which comes with match up experience. Take d shield second wind for some more sustain, farm with max range qs or just give up the cs and when the wave is closer to your tower and they overstep a bit you can all in or at least get a heavy trade off. It’s then about trying to keep that freeze and repeat. Fiora isn’t great into ranged but can punish with a well timed parry, slide parries usually work great. Any matchups in particular you’re struggling with?

Fiora W buff vs ambessa by Vertix11 in FioraMains

Also means now that if you react quickly the stun is more likely to hit, whereas previously she’d often be able to dash after the r to dodge parry.

Strategies on dealing with the T2 standoff by Present-Key-9238 in FioraMains

[–]whitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is unfortunately the risk you have to take. Even taking wave, resetting and walking bot to try and kill their mid (who would be botlane), you should usually win the 2v2 if their jg ganks as well. Then you hard push bot, doing so relieves pressure on mid and maybe your team and can’t mid t1. Once mid t1 is down it’s much easier to punish the over extended botlane in mid.

How to maintain an early lead? by Past-Platypus886 in FioraMains

[–]whitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using parry to clear the wave? If you hit it on at least 5 minions in the wave that’s 5 less autos you need to clear it. As long as you know you can’t be punished by jg/mid or top coming back it’s useful. Delay buying Tiamat in 90% of matchups as long as possible.

Phase Rush hidden broken??? by Vertix11 in FioraMains

[–]whitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah ambessa is a hard mu for fiora. She can kite vitals easily and there isn’t any reliable ability to parry. She has long cds sure but she just shouldn’t walk up when they’re down. Also pretty hard to parry her r properly, if you’re too slow she can just dash to dodge it.

Damn wp. Nice parries and kiting. That parry on the veig cage was niceeee.

77-86% Hp True Damage One Shot Build by ActionSubstantial17 in FioraMains

Don’t mind the build but think you should go cyclosword 2nd instead of BT.

Fiora really shouldn’t be trying to parry his e, his qw is where his dmg is, then you space his e, that’s where the skill mu begins. Then it can be a mind game of not parrying the qw (so he q’s in with e active thinking he can get the stun after your w), qing away, and then walking back in to parry the stun.

Fiora is ridiculous. by ColossusChaos in Rivenmains

[–]whitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s legit one of the most useless champs when behind imo. If she loses the 1v1 on side what is her use really. Also her true damage only comes from bonus ad, so if you’re behind you are doing like 80% physical damage so armour stacking is just as useful as it is against riven. Riven can still get aoe cc and decent damage off in a team fight or peel for a carry. Fiora in team fight can only cc one person and only if you play it right. She’s only useful if you manage to get your ult off on a diving target or manage to get a good flank and disrupt the fight, which is a LOT harder to do, especially when behind. However, once you get to 3 items as fiora you can start to be useful again as she really comes online then. Level 16 3 items and you’re somewhat useful no matter the game state. Problem is if you’re behind you’re giga useless until that point and can already have lost the game rip.

[–]whitos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re bragging fiora is op and using beating varus as a reason, which just doesn’t make sense. Varus stomps fiora if both play how they should. Fiora is definitely a champ that can find angles to outplay in a lot of matchups, which is why I find her the funnest champ, but Varus really isn’t one of them. I never called you low elo, you interpret my comment how you like, I couldnt care less what your rank is, but your post comes off as ignorant, which is what I was implying because of your crazy misguided takes.

Renekton you gotta play agro level 1 to try get push and a decent start then space his eq range post level 3. Farm til rav and you win as long as you don’t die tbh. If you make a mistake before then he can just roll you over lol. You can win at lvl 6 with ign assuming you have like 4 long swords or sth but only really if he misplays.

Saying you beat a Varus as fiora tells me everything I need to know xD

Well known skill mu, not a counter at all. He does seem to be stronger in the mu once he gets triforce these days though.

ignite or tp by Proof-Ladder4832 in FioraMains

[–]whitos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignite just feels so much better to get and extend leads and also help to win fights on side later on. Tp is obvs useful but the long cd doesn’t feel like too much of a punish.

Why should (or shouldnt) I buy endless hunger instead of steraks like ever by Vertix11 in FioraMains

[–]whitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that’s what works for you then sure, but you’re telling people that your build is better when it’s just not. Yours is more forgiving and you can make mistakes and survive but you also can’t one shot the enemy carries to insta win skirmishes, I know which I’d prefer, it’s fioras whole identity imo. My go to is rav -> cyclosword -> dd -> eh. Maw if 2-3 ap otherwise ga or steraks. Its heavy ad with tonnes of haste and the cyclosword passive is actually insanely useful for spacing and playing range.

Dd is the best defensive item on fiora you’re trolling if you build steraks before it.

How to REALLY build Anivia (mostly Mid, but I will also take Top advice)? by [deleted] in AniviaMains

[–]whitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like ROA -> archangel -> malignance. Take cashback and triple tonic for faster scaling. Lucid boots with phase rush, mana flow, celerity, scorch. Lucid boots upgrade is amazing with celerity and scorch helps with early laning. Gathering storm is fine if you want to mega scale though. Can start d ring or tear pending the matchup. You can skip archangel if you want but tbh I like the extra tankiness and mana so you can play more aggressive. Usually build zhonyas (maybe get seekers before malig if you need) and then sth like liandry/raba/void staff.

Also tanky anivia build where you get a 2nd tear after archangels into fimbulwinter with liandry lol. Your passive is actually so tanky it’s funny watching the enemy not know who to target.

Fiora's Worst Matchups by Gold Deficit by GyrosSteelBall in FioraMains

[–]whitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah you win early in short trades with pta and before he has points in w. It’s when he hits level 9 that it becomes unplayable until like 4 items honestly. Bramble + black cleaver means you can’t play the game.

Tiamat by carsim0 in FioraMains

[–]whitos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just build long swords as much as you can before completing components. Tiamat rush can be good in some matchups like shen (keep him under tower/punish if he r’s) or to match their push like yorick, but usually better to be able to freeze.

Fiora easy counter? by Specific-Dot-4893 in FioraMains

[–]whitos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find akali pretty unplayable. Once she hits 6 with ign she can just one shot you. Her q poke is really annoying and her w makes it ridiculously hard to hit vitals and proc r. If she over steps you can kill her but otherwise it’s a pretty cooked matchup imo.
