I usually use Fiora with Banshee's Veil and Mercury's Treads.
Thanks to jhoijhoi for the sig(s)!

She's good, other champions just seem to fit roles better in competitive play.

Think of the different typical roles:

Jungler
Support
AD Carry
Tank
Off-Tank
AP Carry

There are more reliable junglers than Fiora.

She's not a support type (no skills for it whatsoever).

People prefer Ranged AD carries so they can stay at the back and whittle away at the enemy in team fights. But has enormous damage as AD carry and has skills that help her sustain and trade blows with other AD carries. Still, people seem to prefer ranged AD carries.

There are better tanks than Fiora and her skills don't lend aid to her as a tank.

Off-Tank is possible with Fiora and probably the most balanced role with her as a tanky DPS, but there are just better people for the job, it seems.

Not an AP carry...

But in any case, I like Fiora. Just not my first choices for competitive plays.

I've been using Royal Guard Fiora for twenty levels and she is fun to play as but Xtremely hard without runes. Fiora is a squishy Melee AD Carry and she is the Fencing Armor Piercing/Shredding Specialist like no other. Her Burst of Speed is her main steroid that can be used for farming. Lunge is used to catch run away champions and Riposte is used to parry basic attacks and reflecting magic damage. You have to play smart when you are using her because you just don't run up on a Mage and expect to live >_> Fiora "is" viable you just "have to know how to use her." Jax's Counter Strike and Master Yi's Meditate can survive her Blade Waltz since it doesn't proc on hit effects and it doesn't crit either.


Actually, Blade Waltz does proc on-hit effects. It's even stated in the skill's description.

I actually feel she will do well versus Rengar based on what I have seen of him so far (very harassy, encouraged to trade). If she could time her W for right when he jumps, I think she could probably win most trades and thus the lane. Other than trading, which she can't do very effectively if its against someone with more tankiness and range than her (Olaf, Darius, etc) she is squishier than most other bruisers until late game. Either you build for damage and glass cannon mid game and then build tanky late game, or you build tanky and can only kill carries.
