I completely agree with you on this. For the reasons that you listed above (incredibly in-depth reasons, by the way), this guide is utterly terrible and must be condemned to the pits of hell. I cannot think of any more words that can describe how terrible this guide is that you didn't already use. Thank you very much for commenting on this guide, it is a true pleasure to see other peoples inputs that actually make sense, and I am happy that you are an active member of the community.

worth trying out!

Level 1-2 Fiora is super strong. Not many champions can handle the early damage output.

Maxing W first is not inefficient. Against certain champions possibly but overall no. Maxing W first grants you the most damage during the lane in order to make up for her "weak" laning phase.

In terms of this guide being similiar to mine, I haven't really bothered looking to much through it. I do not see this guide catching mine though so if anyone wants to report it if you think it needs to be then do so. I don't really care :P

read this is u haven't, it's very useful for ppl new to the site

The idea of your structure is good, but it looks ugly.

Fix it please.

Build seems fine.
Fix your structure and I will upvote :D

Pretty good build, but it's too much based on build: Fiora- Double Edged Sword. You put a bit work in it, but I can see a lot of similiars to top rated build. Not in items, but lot of a phrases that you used in your build, are copied from that build. I'm not even sure if you played Fiora for real, or you just played her in rotation today, and added build, but with many copied things from others builds.

Already commented.

I REALLY hope this was stated before the Season 3 Armor Pen changes. Season 3, you should ONLY grab AD quints if you have trouble last hitting or want to win earlygame, as Armor Pen outshines AD by far lategame.

This is very true. A week after she came out i found she was much better as a bruiser than a carry because she could actually get fed easily.

I read some of the guide, but i can't finish it atm. It seems good for the most part, but I'll be back later to finish reading.

My single critique so far is the idea of an assassin Fiora. This may be just me, but I find that Fiora does not play well as an assassin because she's squishy. The only champs she can come close to assassinating are all champs with autoattack focus or on-hit effect spells, thanks to Riposte (" Parrrley!" " Riposte!" "What? You can't deflect bullets with a rapier!" "***c you yes I can I'm Fiora!").

no

Hydra first is fine if you can abuse it early. If you try rushing it I'd also run flask for a camping lane until you got the pickaxe.

Maxing W first is inefficient. Every Fiora lost vs me as Renekton because you can simply wait the damage out and 5 AD is not much. Try to max Q after a two points in W but don't level it up any further. Aso E is only needed if you can afford to tank your wave or the opponent is very agressive. Otherwise you loose too much.

Missing are combos with Fiora, right clicking enemies doesn't work early.

You opinon on Ravenous Hydra is true. I'll make note of it in my guide. One problem is that I think that it is a long stretch between Tiamat and Bloodthirster so I think it is okay to build Ravenous Hydra if you aren't getting enough money. As for situational items, I am saying that these items are viable, but I myself most likely won't build then unless the circumstance forces me to. For formatting, this is my first guide and I am not farmiliar with coding. I do plan to make visual changes probaly next weekend or on free time.
