Miss Fortune changes

Haven't gotten on the PBE to test out the changes yet but from my understanding, her new passive "Love tap" is supposed to provide you with the same amount of damage her "Impure shots" would give you without having to AA someone 5-8 times (Instead of AA enemy champion 5-8 times for X damage you now just attack once for X damage). That's cool and all but like someone said in another thread, the whole attacking someone else to do extra damage part of it seems weird. You're being rewarded for not focusing a target??? Not only that but her new passive sounds terribly boring and plain. Also, without "Impure shots" MF's ult loses a ton of extra damage but hopefully they've updated her ult ratios to supplement that change. They still haven't fixed the real problem with her "Strut" passive (caster minions OP) and her "Make it rain" remains completely unchanged... At the very least they could add an AD ratio to it. Guess the only thing we can do now is hope for two things: her finalized rework will reflect the ideals of the community and Riot will realize that adding an Instagram to her splash work doesn't count as an updated splash lol.

TL;DR: Her new passive provides more upfront damage than her old "Impure shots" but sounds terrible overall. Some complaining about her kit.

My wish-list of changes for MF would be: -Make her Q scale with attack speed. It's such a lame ability late-game -Make her "Strut" not completely disappear upon taking minion damage. -Better passive? -Make her E more than a shitty version of Gangplank's ult.

EDIT: Just played her on the PBE. She feel's awkward yet amazing and fun. Having to juggle between AA creeps in a wave in order to clear it to keep up the AS steroid (105% increase AS) on her W feels awkward but is fun lol. Her new passive gives her meaningful poke outside of landing the second part of her Q when late-game comes. Didn't get to test out the full potential of her ult yet but it looks promising. Adding some range on her E helps A LOT. You can use it to check bushes without putting yourself in danger. Her W also grants her 100MS at max rank and she instantly gains her MS rather than waiting for it to build up when you activate it which feels really nice. Overall, she feels really nice. She's a wombo combo team fighting marksmen with a nice laning phase and decent poke.

The problem is unless the enemys front line is perfectly parallel to one another, it encourages an squishy, escape-less adc whos mobility falls off on damage to go back further to get her full damage.

It will work fine in lane, but since the game isn't decided there it really really reads like a nerf

As a side note, I honestly can't believe its 2015 and her E is still the exact same, its such a bland skill that could fit into any champion.

Ha! So I was just about to start a new thread concerning this but (miss)fortunately I found this. So I'm gonna have a go at it.

So there is a thread for this on the PBE boards but none here. I understand people shooting off their mouths without having any idea how the changes work out is not what Riot wants, but honestly, players not on the PBE should be allowed to interact directly with Riot staff about this.

So let me start this by saying that I'm okay with change, I've been playing since Season 1 and though the first couple of times it really ground my gears everytime preseason changes came in, with having to learn items and masteries again, I have come to terms with it and see that it mostly does good.

Now I'd like to congratulate Riot for how they're bringing diversity to marksmen and fulfilling fantasies better especially with Graves and Caitlyn.

And now, I'd like to complain about Impure shots being taken away from MIss Fortune. I play for fun, I'm not very good or anything but I play a fair amount of Miss Fortune and she is definitely one of my Top 5 favourite champions. That said, I really feel like Impure shots was a very substantial part of her identity and a very satisfying one at that, it's even in the 'Shadows & Fortune' stories you guys just put up. Now I don't want to start hating on Love tap and it does seem like it would open up some fun target juggling in lane and small skirmishes, but Impure shots was the one thing in her kit that gave her some power to deal with tanky targets. I understand her ult carries a lot more power now, but in my opinion it carried similar amounts even before this rework; added to to that the increased channel time and my guess is the total damage you candeal safely and consistently hasn't changed much. Additionally, the Impure shots was tweaked, in my opinion rather well, not too long ago.

I also understand that having both Love tap and impure shots would be complete overkill, so I have a suggestion: Add the impure shots passive as a passive on Bullet time. It will keep her lane-bulliness in check and give her the power she needs to deal with tanks late game. That fraction of stacking mixed damage is something that I feel ties in really well with her gameplay as well as her fantasy. And as a final note, I also enjoyed it's interaction with the ult.

It would be great to get a reply to this. Thanks
