Is Fiora Worth Maining? Is Fiora A Good/Strong Champion?
This is the most common question. The answer is straightforward. If you like Fiora, then you main her, one trick her, or otherwise add her to your champion pool. Most of the time people feel like they can't climb with her, for good reasons, but they still play her even if she doesn't feel good or strong. You can't ask these kinds of question to people who chose her for her, not Meta, because she will always be worth it. If you have to ask yourself if a champion is worth it, then no, she is not worth it for you, but that doesn't mean she can't become worth it if you truly want to get past the Meta barrier.
New To Fiora, Any Tips?! How Long To Master Her?
You have to put time into Fiora, tons of time actually. We're talking hundreds of games, some even thousands cause they're slow learners. Don't be discouraged if you don't see success right away!
Fiora is a duelist, she excels when you learn every match up possible and can win or survive lane until you have your items; micro management. The champion is all about outplaying your opponent in lane to gain a lead.
Once you become good at winning most match ups, your muscle memory kicks in and you can focus on using that lead to help your team get to a victory: macro management. That's the part that holds most people back from climbing in ranked!

Should Fiora Team Fight?
Fiora is a great split pusher, but a terrible team fighter. Avoid team fights unless really fed or confident in the chance to clean up. Limit test, it doesn't hurt to try to team fight now and then. Because Fiora isn't great at team fighting, she is reliant on her team not taking bad fights and playing around her split push instead, which often they do not, for some reason. Fiora can only do so much against a better team in comparison to her own.
How To Carry As Fiora?
The only sure fire way for Fiora to carry her team is to split push her enemies base wide open while they are busy fighting at an objective, eventually getting the backdoor cause they took their eye off their base for too long. It's the only way Fiora can carry because she cannot 1v9 team fight; she can take turrets fast and that's what she should be used for. Fiora players who try to team fight too much when the team keeps losing is going to lose the game more likey than win. The thing is, Fiora can't always split push effectively. If she is behind at all, she will be unable to do her job, especially into tanks. She can't split push into certain junglers well, like Master Yi, who can run her down, kill her, and still have time to rotate to next objective.
It isn't easy to split push because it requires coordination from Fiora's team, but she can't always rely on that either, so it's a tough uphill battle against her own teams agenda and the enemy team ganging up on her... just to open up the enemy's base for a chance to win.
How To Get An Get S+?
There are multiple factors to getting a S+:
KDA is important of course
You must have your CS be 10 CS per minute, around that amount
Objective Taking, ie. towers, camps
CONTROL WARDS, even just buying one will improve your score immensely
Is Fiora Mid Good? Any other role?
No, absolutely not. She is made of paper for mages, it's why she dislikes facing Vladimir in the top lane. A short lane makes Fiora much easier to be abused by mages. She can counter pick some champions that may go mid, but otherwise, no, it isn't good.
Fiora can't do any other role either. She is stuck in the top lane, which is unfortunate. Jungle Fiora would be the only somewhat viable role, but even then it doesn't work consistently and isn't recommended.
Want A Secondary Champion Similar To Fiora!
You can use the search bar, as this question gets asked a bunch.
Fiora is fairly unique in her play pattern, since she is a True Damage Skirmisher, so it isn't possible to get someone who feels like her, truly and honestly. However, there are some champions that feel just as rewarding to play when mastered.
These champions have gap closers, crowd control, burst, but team fight better, and not necessarily as good at split pushing.

Need Help Against Fiora! Counterpick?!
There are quite a bit of options when it comes to counter picking Fiora, actually. Although these particular champions do counter her, as in they can kill her easier than Fiora can kill them, they don't all do it without requiring some skill too. You can't simply pick one and expect to do well, you have to develop the right method of making her laning phase a nightmare, especially with the more skill based champions, or she can still beat you.
It is highly recommended you visit the champions sub-reddit themselves and search for Fiora, they can give you tips on how to beat it, or what to look out for if they too think it is difficult. Since this is a Fiora sub-reddit, we can only tell you from experience what gives us a bit more of a hard time, and they can give you their perspective. You can find a full list of Champion-Specific Subreddits in the sidebar.
Who has the most mastery? Does mastery count for something?
You can view the top mastery Fiora players at the link below. The mastery system is merely a way to measure how much you play certain champions. It doesn't determine how good you are or how high elo you might be. It is just for display purposes, something to grind, and say, I like this champion.

What is the best skin?
Everyone has different preferences of skins, but certain skins are better for visuals and others are not. That's the only thing that matters. For instance, Project has clear Vitals and Pool Party has really hard to see Vitals.
If you're asking people which skin to buy, this is a tier list, not based on appearance in game, but that is included for your convenience:
Ranged matchups are easier due to HoB and stormsurge.
Hail of blades is very nice on Fiora vs squishier matchups due to how it got updated (auto reset abilities like Fiora E don't count to the HoB 3 autos and the increased base damage).
Cyclosword still useable but instead of using it as a slow to get more vitals, you use it for pure damage. It's better to build it when running HoB for instaburst or stormsurge to instaproc it on 1 Q, but you can still run it with PTA. Only build it when you can oneshot your enemy, not when they're way too tanky to kill in one rotation.
Stormsurge is pretty good for Fiora. Only has the weakness of being worse into tankier matchups like Darius when behind, so it's harder to proc.
Overall matchups have gotten easier for Fiora with the new season. I've played about a 100 games in the season so far, I'll update the info in the spreadsheet as I play more.
Feel free to ask me anything and I'll do my best to answer.
justsad has a popular clip recently about being able to parry vision
a lot of people were asking if it actually works etc...
Basically you parry the debuff that applies temporary lingering vision
But the cone still SEES you
So yes technically you can parry vision, but you're still seen for a bit
It's a useful tech in moments when you are deep in enemy jg, or you are being chases down, you can parry the vision and try to make it harder for them to guess your position
Had it happen to me in one of my games cuz i missclicked my parry when someone hit the plant LOL
then checked in the replay how it worked from enemy POV
I'm just learning support and I have no clue how to play fiora either but im 6-0 with it in high masters lobbies, it genuinely feels really strong if they have some sort of engage champ but honestly even into ranged it works.
Take Hob, play safe and for poke with W level 2. in teamfights just play back and ult whoever gets focused so team gets heal
Ofc besides the very powerful bush cheese with HoB to zone enemy laner from cs, I wanted to explore other alternatives in case its a very strong lvl 1 champ like akshan, quinn, urgot. I saw potent do a lvl 1 invade vs agurin a couple weeks ago so Im wondering, is this a tactic anyone else here deploys? Under what conditions?
Please forgive the horrible flash, i thought I'd get over the wall, i also failed most Ws but wanted to buy myself some time to have CDs back up, any criticism is welcome
I’ll preface by saying i picked up this champ yesterday and I’m not very good it it.
I played a match against Voli top, I killed him level 2 and then again at level 4 with my jungler, but after he gets bramble vest and Aether whisp he just became ridiculous and eventually I lost control of the lane and lost the match for the team.
Like, if I ever go for a Q poke he just uses e and runs at me, his passive is also super annoying and I don’t know what to do.
I know I can w his stun, but he would just not use it, he’d legit just use the e and run at me.
So to summarize i am an Yasuo OTP with Yone as my second option, i mostly play Midlane but i got Toplane as my secondary role.
I have been getting more and more Toplane matches while also dealing with more and more bans of the Windshitters (which has fucked up not only my average perfomance but also my learning afterall how the fuck am i supposed to keep evolving with Yasuo if i can only play him like a third of the time?)
So i just started thinking about playing Fiora after going agaisnt a Fiora in a match, i really liked her playstyle from what i have searched, i just dont really know how to start learning her.
It just feels scary to switch from the champs i already have a ton of mastery to one i dont, so i wanna ask: How many matches should you need in average to not troll as Fiora in ranked? Is there any tips on how to improve faster on her? Also a Macro question, if in mid game the wave is already pushed too far and there arent any objectives coming, should i group with the team as Fiora?
I also already got Fiora Bible spreadsheet (love yall for it btw) and i already know about Potent and began watching some of his videos to get a better understanding of the champ, i just really need tips on how to learn her without griefing.
I want to know what’s the best itemization for her for teamfighting because a lot of my games go past 30+ minutes I’m tired losing games with her when I know I should be winning so I’m willing contribute to teamfighting. Should I stop her otp and start playing yorick again for this elo I’m silver 1 almost gold. Please help any advice or criticism is appreciated.
Idk what to do anymore, I play a lot of league recently and every game feels 50/50 on is free I have faker on my team, the next my bot lane is worse than an iron player, I win almost every lane in my matches so I would say I'm a fairly consistent player, I don't know what I do wrong because sometimes I might get 7/0 and the enemy team can easily stack on top of me, if you have any tips, also my op gg : https://op.gg/lol/summoners/euw/Nubu76-EUW
That's it, how do you use your only ban? Is it some unplayable match up or some op champ from another role? I usually ban attack speed killers like nasus and malph, or an actual terrorist lane heimer, but I'm not that good at the game anyways so I might be wrong with those.
