Fiora has better burst damage and is cooler and sticks to targets better.
atm I like wriggles/wits end GA or wriggles/ghostblade GA into more damage.

She has 2 gap closer and 1 mini gap closer as opposed to Master Yi's one gap closer.

Her Ult is very strong damage and it also grants her invulnerability and lets her tower dive people easily

Her W lets her ward off most enemy kiting attempts

In the jungle, master yi is generally a quicker jungle due to alpha strike's damage to multiple targets+random damage. Fiora's ganks pre-6 are stronger than master yi's but master yi has a bit more possible front-loaded burst because alpha strike + double strike + wuju style does an absurd amount of damage while fiora relies on the person ganked to auto her to deal maximum damage. In lane though, Fiora is far and away better than master yi.

I was never comparing them in the jungle. I was comparing them in lanes. I don't think either Fiora or Yi should jungle. I mean, yes, they can pull it off, but I'd always rather play a jungler like Skarner who provides the team with CC, good ganks, counter-jungling, and tanky-ness

I don't think he's viable as anything apart from AP Yi and even that is only if he gets his lane camped by his jungler

Rumble shouldn't be a problem, burst him when his Q is on CD. Malphite should screw you over though, just get wriggles and farm.

How does Fiora mid compare to Talon? I know that she's more of an AD carry than assassin, but the riposte active doesn't do anything vs casters, while talon has two types of CC, and isn't gankable when his ult's up. Fiora's escapes seem a little limited, which also means she can't disengage as easily as the other melee carries (Trynd/Jax/Yi).

Melee AD just seems like it only works for bruisers and bursty AD casters (with Riven being somewhere in between). On paper, though, she looks more fun/useful in more situations than master Yi (though Yi's passive is OP for backdooring).

She's a bruiser, not an AD carry, same with riven. A lot of bruisers can be built squishy or with lots of AD like jarvan, lee sin, irelia etc.

Something about Fiora:

Many people play her wrong. She can, and should be aggressive right from lvl 1. Especially vs AD-ish bruisers she's amazing right away, especially if you build her right with full armor runes and defensive masteries. Q -> hit -> Q -> hit -> retreat with 4 stacks of passive should regen her to full hp in no time and that already deals like 150-200 damage. After lvl 2 she gets riposte and passive 15 damage and at that point she should just keep attacking the enemy because she outdamages them like crazy and just outregens them in trades.

From my limited experience she destroys stuff like Pantheon for instance. With full armor runepage and cloth starters and constant harrass Pantheon really can't do anything.

That's one reason why you probably consider the -minion damage masteries in defensive tree on fiora. She's really strong from level 1.

I cant express how much I agree with this
I played vs Fiora as Panth today
She did exactly what you mentioned (Q/hit harass right off the bat), she traded slightly better than me
At level 2, I thought I could kill her, she wrecked me

Defensive runes/masteries, offensive items. Also, probably the champ who benefits the most from cleanse.

Don't buy Warmogs on Fiora (except maybe very situationally). She doesn't benefit a lot from health compared to others.
First, lifesteal is a great substitute for health on someone who does as much autoattack (and ult) damage as her. Consider that a vampiric scepter is 32/66/100 + .24*AD health back just from ult, worst case, plus some back for each auto you land, and it scales with more deeps.
Second, you like resists. In lane, your passive gives you lots of healing. Once you have lifesteal, you have lots of healing.

Don't go super glass cannon. Infinity Edge is pretty hard to fit in your build unless you are rollin in da brozouf. Wriggles or Hexdrinker should be your first buy, followed by BF Sword into Black Cleaver or Bloodthirster. Upgrade Hexdrinker, buy GA. You now have a solid core of resists and lots of DPS/1v1 potential, plus tons of free healing in fights. It's a very fine balance between being tanky enough to not die before reaching your target and doing enough deeps to dunk your target once you get there.

Added your post to the OP near the other builds, as this build is just as amazing if not even moreso than the ones I posted.

I try :D

Here's some thoughts on how Fiora compares to other champs:

Fiora vs Talon:
Fiora can disengage better than Talon thanks to the second dash on Q, but Talon outbursts her. Talon also has a silence and better poke. Fiora can't dunk casters near as hard as Talon late game but she doesn't become useless because someone bought a chainmail.

Fiora vs Master Yi:
Yi is significantly better in jungle, though I actually feel like Fiora has stronger ganks due to being able to follow a flash with her second Q. In terms of sheer late game DPS, Yi beats pretty much everything, but Fiora is far more useful in teamfights since she has two dashes and an ult that both takes her out of the fight and helps her stick to things.

Chainmail? It's not as if being an AD caster and all you weren't going to buy a Last Whisper...
