Champion Balancing (Miss Fortune Example)

I heard about the planned nerf for Miss Fortune's Q ability and I was wondering if the members of the community had a voice in those changes. Miss Fortune did need to be a little toned down however removing the double damage(if it deals a killing blow) part of the skill which actually require some level of skill is ridiculous. Miss fortune was strong because of the lethality items, which have gotten nerfed, and her ulti as well as her E ability were so simple. Instead couldn't you reduce the slow on her E ability or make it so that the slow on her E decays so people can actually escape the E & R combo? If you really insist on nerfing her Q ability, tone it down so it doesn't do double damage but maybe a 1.5 or 1.25 multiplier so it has some sort skill and purpose. I am rather tired of Riot introducing new elements into the game, nerfing champions who were good with it, and then proceeding to nerf the new element that they had introduced. It is the single reason why the game only sees play of the 10-25 best champions in every game out of the 134 champions. In my opinion, I think that we need to see some buffs being thought out and applied to a large population of the champion pool so that they are on par with the most frequently played champions. Well thought out buffs would create some diversity in the game instead of seeing the same old Talon Jhin Camille Leblanc Khazix Rengar Jayce LeeSin Quinn Varus every game. Quinn needs a nerf though cause she is just a buzzkill for every lane opponent.

Pretty sure they're currently making it so the second bounce can crit, and is guaranteed to crit if the first bounce is a killing blow, so that theres still some champion mastery expression to MF's Q.

She is pretty much the same if you build her crit, but worse if you build lethality.

That is the intention, and they should make it like this for Jhin aswell, but they are shitlords who want people to buy the new champs.

Basically they changed Miss Fortunes Q so the second bounce will do the same damage as the first but they buffed and nerfed it. The second hit now has a chance to crit on every use with a 200% crit hit and will still automatically crit if it kills on the first hit. So its been nerfed with lethality as in you wont get those crits without the kill with a lethality build, but they totally buffed her because now if you choose a crit build your pretty much guaranteed every 2nd hit will crit after 2 items and its 200% damage instead of 150% which makes it similar to her current second hit damage. Also when building her crit her ulti will start criting for a 20% increase in damage which will wipe out teams faster since a crit build can earn her more damage in general with the recent nerfs to lethality builds.

Basically all league is doing is knocking Miss Fortune out of the Lethality game and Moving her to the Crit field so in the current meta she's been nerfed but once the meta moves back to crit meta she will be a beast and they will nerf the damage on her Q again or remove the crit hit all together.

In the end these are the facts

Miss Fortune nerfed YES Miss Fortune buffed YES, just not in the current meta
