If you think MF is too strong, that is fair to say so. But nerfing her E instead of her actual damage on her ult is a bit silly. I know riot has mentioned many times, that they want to find alternate solutions to a problem without tackling it directly and ruin a champion / item. ( no real quote just vague memories of interactions on the boards )

But more times than not, you would tend to see very lil change aside from what actually needs to be done, and then the change be placed into effect after the previous nerfs.

With that being said, I am a off meta mf player. I love playing her AP. I agree that her ult is way to strong, and it ruins peoples day's during fights. Her auto attack damage got buffed ( way higher than it needed to be ) during the whole runes reforged update, and because of that along with certain keystones her winrate / damage out put has been insane. But her is way to costly in the early game to even justify spamming it, so seeing that get nerfed instead of her actual strengths seems silly to me.

Now before you say that they should nerf her keystones. Aery / arcane comet on MF gives her a insane amount of poke / damage, but that is not the problem. Her real strengths come from harass, that is without a doubt what mf is good for in the lane. She is a lane bully. But the one thing that people always argue is weak about her is Her E. Her E is strong in the early game but weak in the late game. its why they nerfed the base damage on it from 300 all the way to 210 a while back. With the new updates, you no longer needed to rely on your E for damage, you could use manaflow band and poke people out of lane with your Q easy. Her e is only useful as a engage and disengage.

Now what I'm not saying is that the E nerfs are too much, ( granted you can take it that way ). What I am saying, is that if your going to nerf MF, nerf the parts about her that is oppressive. Her E wont change her winrate, infact it probably wont change the way the game is being played for her at all. If you tackle her Q damage, you can lower, her powerspike a bit without taking away her viability since she can still poke quite often if she maxes it. Or if you even take a stab at her CD's on her ultimate, it will make it so she cannot win ever fight while having it up, and have to use it more strategically .

This is not a complain post about ( MF is shit now, revert rage quit ) No. This is just a post for me to express my concern that the balance team might be tackling her in the wrong direction.

I actually want mf to get nerfed so I can play her again, without her getting banned or picked, so this is my own bias speaking on this one. But I fear this change doesn't do anything except pointless padding. I know there is a lot of circle jerk about champion changes going on, but my real question is. Why not tackle her real strengths? Giving her more weakness on her weakness doesn't make her weaker, it only makes her true strength shine even harder, cause people will find better ways to cover up her weakness's.

TL:DR , If you want to nerf MF, I suggest tackling her ultimate or her Q damage, since those were the buffs that made her stronger. Indirect nerfs like this doesn't stop her from doing damage, and will only make you have to nerf her even harder in the future to cover up this mistake. Just my personal opinion on this matter
