Fiora and the Nerfs soon in League of Legends

We’ll just come right out and say it. Fiora is OP. She can play the role of burst damage carry, splitpusher, and teamfight extraordinaire all at once, and she has little room for counterplay. That’s why it’s not surprising that nerfs for her cropped up on the PBE yesterday.

What is surprising is that the nerfs only touch her movement speed—and nothing else.

Specifically, the changes will lower the movement speed she gains from hitting an opponent Vital with her passive. The nerf will lower the speed by a substantial amount—a 20 percent nerf at level 18. The movement speed boost from her ultimate was also completely removed from the ability.

Who knows, maybe these nerfs will be exactly what she needed all along, but it’s unlikely unless we see some harder hitting nerfs in the days leading up to Patch 7.14.

Upcoming Patch 7.14 need week or two from now.
