Ah I think I just meant DoT's. Also if a tower is attacking her it can still go through after the ult starts. I've had that happen three times recently. Either way, I just had a horrible game with fiora jungle and still went 13-6. There's something to say for fiora as a jungler, though I'm probably going to take this guide down -- I agree that smiteless Fiora is a bad idea now, though I have had nothing but luck with it in normal games. I suppose that's the nature of normal games, though.

Woops, I meant untargetable. And what AoE could possibly hit her?

Fiora is NOT invincible in her ultimate. Most aoe can still hit her; all DoT's still continue as if she wasn't using her ultimate.

That being said, I thin kyou're understating her power, possibly from playing her similar to shyvana when she is, simply put, a different hero. If you get boots of mobility with alacrity, Fiora's ganking ability is incredible. She can burst for at least half of a hero's health even before you get black cleaver and (optional in some eyes) last whisper. Most people simply make the mistake of not upgrading W first, which gives 35 extra attack damage (along with the parry, of course, which every 5 seconds can potentially return 260 magic damage). After getting W, she is pretty unmatched 1 versus 1. With boots of mobility + alacrity + the movement speed boost from her E, few heroes can get away from her in time to avoid a gank even with flash. If they get close enough to hit her, she can Q in, burst of speed (again, plus movement speed), get a couple hits off, Q again, and ult. Easy kills made even easier after getting extra armor penetration.

Whether my guide is good or not, I'm averaging around 20 kills a game the last 10 games I've played with her along with about 7/10 wins, so I'd say she isn't underpowered.

Lets see, both champions have fast clear speed - assuming you get Madred's Razors on Fiora - trust me. Both lack any real croud control. Both depend on raw damage when they gank. Both make good use of their movement speed steroids when they gank. Both have great teamfight potential with damage - not with croud control - not to mention Fiora can go invincible. And both can't gank properly without using their gap closers.

Then if she's basically Shyvana but worse, there is even less of a reason to pick her. But more importantly than that, she is not similar to Shyvana in the slightest.

She has sustain, gap closers and all that but not that immense clearing speed: she is outclassed by a lot of junglers not only in terms of clearing speed but in terms of ganking and counterjungling too. There is no real reason to pick her.

You got the idea completely wrong. Her whole kit design makes her the perfect jungler. Sustain, a double gap closer, immense clearing speed, and an ult which ensures the enemy won't escape assuming you use it correctly. She is basically similar to jungle Shyvana, but weaker in many ways.

FTFY.

All the justification I need.

In high elo Elise, Ahri and Sona can be used as ADC and make will you cry, and Miss Fortune and Varus can go AP but I got the point I do love Fiora she is my favorite champion only second to Irelia.

I must admit that I just don't buil IE neither BT on Fiora and is rare the match where I don't become the main target of the enemy team.

People build Fiora as Master Yi and top lane needs to be usually a brusier/tank maybe thats why my style dislakes full carries items on Fiora.

The idea wasn't to make something completely different, persay. The idea was to instruct on how to play Fiora aggressively and to show her as more of a jungle than a top. The smiteless part may be a bad idea, but it does show that even without smite, she is a character that can easily take on the jungle and gank well.

To sum up, I put the items that I think are best for her and have served me well. I put her in the jungle because I think it is a much better fit for her than top. I chose smiteless to bring attention to the idea of her as a formidable jungler. Whether you use smite or not, Fiora in the jungle is, in my opinion, a great decision.

Thank you for the constructive criticism.

Fun fact: Fiora is also considered a jungler in high elo. Some would argue she does better in the jungle than in the lane due to many unfavorable match ups.
