Champion Update: Fiora

"Hey all! Let's get a Fiora [PBE] feedback thread started! 

Fiora, the Grand Duelist Update: Now featuring more duelist. BIG changes to her passive, W, and R, with smaller but still significant changes to Q and E. Also included: new particles, sound effects, animations, splash & icons! For full context of why we took up this project and went the direction we did, as well as full descriptions and videos for her abilities, please check out our article here.

Thanks all!"

Fiora identifies Vitals on nearby enemy champions. Fiora will reveal a new Vital afte striking the last one, or after 15 seconds.

When Fiora strikes a Vital, she deals 3 (+.028 - .045 AD )% of the target's maximum health in true damage, receives [20% base, increases to 30/40/50% based on R rank ] increased movement speed that decays over 1.75 seconds, and recovers [20 + 5 per level] health. 

25/30/35/40/45 Mana
18/16/14/12/10 sec Cooldown 

Range: [400] 

Fiora lunges in a direction and slashes a nearby enemy, dealing 65/75/85/95/105 (+.55/.7/.85/1.0/1.15 bonus AD) physical damage and applying on-hit effects. This attack prioritizes Vitals and targets in kill range. 

If this ability hits an enemy, 60/60/60/60/60% of its cooldown is refunded.

50/50/50/50/50 Mana
21/19.5/18/16.5/15 sec Cooldown 

[Range: 750] 

Fiora parries all incoming damage and disables for the next 0.75 seconds and then slashes in the target direction 

The slash deals 90/130/170/210/250 (+.6 AP) magic damage to the first enemy champion and slows  their movement and attack speed by 50% for 1.5 seconds. 

If Fiora parries an immobilizing disable, Riposte stuns instead of slowing.

40/45/50/55/60 Mana
15/13/11/9/7 sec Cooldown 

Fiora gains 50% increased attack speed for the next two attacks. The first attack cannot critically strike, but applies a 1 second 40/45/50/55/60% slow. The second attack is guaranteed to critically strike for 140/155/170/185/200% damage

100 Mana
110/90/70 sec Cooldown 

Range: [500] 

Fiora reveals all four Vitals on the target champion, for a potential [4x damage of passive] % max health true damage.  In addition, Fiora gains Duelist Dances's movement speed bonus (30/40/50%) while near the target. 

If Fiora hits all 4 Vitals in 8 seconds or if the target dies after she has hit at least one, Fiora and her allies in the area are healed for 80/110/140 (+.6 AD) each second for 5 seconds.

Lore

"''I have come to kill you for the sake of honor. And though you possess none, you will die just the same.'' 

The most feared duelist in all of Valoran, Fiora is as renowned for her indomitable will and haughty pride as she is for her skill with the blade. She was born to Demacia's House Laurent, a once-proud family whose reputation was tarnished by the actions of her father. In an unprecedented move, Fiora challenged him to single combat and, upon winning, took control of House Laurent. Defying the Demacian establishment, she has set about restoring the reputation and pride of her family name, one duel at a time."

Gangplank Update & Captain Gangplank

As announced earlier, Gangplank's appearance is changing to reflect the events that happened during the story of the Bilgewater: Burning Tides event.  Check out the "Gangplank returns" post or Gangplank's updated Champion Update page for more information.

For those who haven't kept up with the event, here's a quick TL;DR following the story's epilogue - Miss Fortune, who was seeking revenge for her mother's murder, blew up Gangplank ship in an attempt to kill him. Gangplank managed to survive the attack but lost his arm and control over Bilgewater, which has has broken out into war as various gangs fight for power after hearing word of Gangplank's death.

Here's a look at Gangplank's new base appearance:

Gangplank

To go with his new look, Gangplank also has a new voiceover on the PBE! Clocking in at 6:30 minutes, this voiceover includes all new lines and new champion interactions:

Gangplank's "old new" voiceover is now only on the Captain Gangplank skin, all other skins will now use this voiceover as it is the base voiceover.

Gangplank also has a new champion select quote:

"Neither the flames nor the depths could claim me"

The pre-Burning Tides appearance that originally shipped as his base appearance with 5.14 is now the Captain Gangplank skin. Players who own and have played at least one matchmade game as Gangplank before the end of the event on August 10th will receive Captain Gangplank for free - announcement and more details available here. 

Captain Gangplank

As noted above, Captain Gangplank uses this voiceover instead of the new base voiceover.

While you can obtain this skin for free by owning GP and playing him prior the Bilgewater: Burning Tides event ending on August 10th, its price in the PBE shop is listed as 975 RP.

If you have more questions on Bilgewater: Burning Tides or how to obtain the Captain Gangplank skin, it's K! Check out our red post collection coverage of the various announcements. 

In-client Bios for GP & MF

Short in-game bios for both Gangplank and Miss Fortune have also been added in today's patch.

Gangplank

''I was cutting throats and sinking Noxian war galleys when you were still pissing your britches, boy. You don't want to take me on.'' As unpredictable as he is brutal, the dethroned reaver king known as Gangplank is feared far and wide. Where he goes, death and ruin follow, and such is his infamy and reputation that the merest sight of his black sails on the horizon causes panic among even the hardiest crew.

You can find Gangplank's full length introduction story on his champion page.

Miss Fortune

"'The bigger the risk, the bigger the bounty.'' Beauty and danger: There are few who can match Miss Fortune in either. One of Bilgewater's most infamous bounty hunters, she built her legend upon a swathe of bullet-riddled corpses and captured ne'er-do-wells. The booming echoes of her twin pistols in the port city's reeking wharfs and scavenger shanties are sure signs of another warrant from the Bounty Board being settled.

You can find Miss Fortune's full length introduction story on her champion page.

New Chroma Packs

We have three new chroma packs in this cycle - Cassiopeia Curse, Dragonslayer Vayne Chaos, and Koi Nami.

Cassiopeia Curse

Day, Dusk, Night

Dragonslayer Vayne Chaos

Green, Red Silver

Koi Nami Element

Sunbeam, Smoke, Twilight

Here's Riot LoveStrut with a bugs & feedback thread for these two new sets of chroma!

Bot lane is leading this wave of chromas as the Koi Nami Element and Dragonslayer Vayne Chaos chroma packs make a splash onto the PBE! 

This tidal wave of colors are arriving at 590 RP per chroma pack. 

Let us know what you think of this champ and skin selection and who you think we should deck out in colors next! Got questions? Check out the Chroma Pack FAQ here. 

PS: The Champion Select color swatches for these chromas are not in yet, but for reference, the order of swatches from left to right are: 

• Koi Nami Element Sunbeam -> Smoke -> Twilight
• Dragonslayer Vayne Chaos Silver -> Red -> Green

New Summoner Icon

A new poro artist summoner icon was added this cycle. No details on availability yet but this may be an icon related to the KR server art contests just like the previous "Paintbrush Poro" icon.

Ward Skin Selection in Champion Select

"Hey everyone! 

Have you ever hit champion select and thought to yourself: “Oh man, I forgot to pick my Astronaut Poro ward! How will anyone know I support the poro space program?” Well, say goodbye to those dark days because we’re bringing ward selection into champ select. Give it a try, and let us know what you think! And hey, who knows? Maybe your friends will finally start warding now. Hopefully. Maybe. Probably not… 

We’re also aware that the ward selection module is showing up in the post-game lobby if you didn’t close it out in champ select, so we're working on fixing that. 

Thanks for helping us test!"

Teemo

• Camouflage (Passive) - several changes (video preview):

"If Teemo stands still for 1.5 seconds, he becomes stealthed.

Traps last 5 minutes and take 1.5 seconds to arm and stealth. If a thrown trap lands on another trap, it will bounce up to 3/4/5 Teemos further before planting. 

Teemo forages for a mushroom every 35/31/27 seconds, but he is only big enough to carry 3 at once."
