Double Up (Q) - [removed - "If the first shot kills its target, the second deals 50% increased damage."]

I honestly do not disagree that the damage could use a nerf (especially with lethality being as strong as it is on her), but honest to god you just gutted her Q by changing it this drastically. Using her Q mechanic is my favorite thing to do in this game, and by removing it you're removing probably the most meaningful expression of skill in her kit. Its extremely situational and has very clear counterplay (Is the minion low? Don't stand near it. Position around MF moving up on it.).

If you want to nerf it, nerf the base damage or dial the percentage increase down. Don't remove her most satisfying mechanic.

Please don't go through with this change. This is Azir all over again where they just meaninglessly remove parts of the champion's kit only to discover what they removed was not the real problem, but never give the functionality back. Lethality is what makes MF strong, not her Q. Honestly, a champion like Jhin gets slight number nerfs to his ult slow instead of having it removed completely. Even Camille when she got nerfed only had her numbers decreased. Stop stripping champion abilities like this. The community justified Azir's kit trimming by saying his kit was overloaded. Now what? Are we going to say Miss Fortune has an overloaded kit too?

It already does increased damage if it bounces from the target to the one behind it, causing increased damage. Why is there a need for the other part of the same skill?

Its a good nerf and her Q is still the same. If she lines it up so it bounces from minion to champ it still hurts, but now it doesn't have the minion death bounce part which takes 1/3 someones hp during laning phase.

Its kinda hard to not call you out when you say you can understand a damage nerf to her Q, but when its happening you say its stupid.

Her Q is

If bounces, does increased damage If bounces but kills first target, does even more damage.

Removing the 2nd part literally does what you already said you supposedly understood. She still gets rewarded for doing a good Q, but now it won't be BS damage like I said, during laning phase and taking 1/3 someones hp so easily.
