Completely Gutted Miss Fortune

Over the last several patches, Rito has completely reveresed MF's identity as an anti-carry. It used to be that she could triple-on-hit, boost her AS, AoE Slow, chase, and apply Grevious Wounds, giving her a lot of dueling power against other ADCs. Now, with her base damage lower than any other CHAMPION (Not just ADC) in the League, her capacity to fulfill and ADC's primary role of single target damage is completely gone. With other ADCs like Graves or Jinx able to tear her apart in 1v1 or 5v5, she can't contribute anything meaningful to a mid to late game fight.

Furthermore, even her early game power (Where she used to be strongest) has taken a huge hit, as she can't focus down an enemy ADC while their support is out of position.

She doesn't fit in a poke comp, because she can't deal relevant damage to out of position foes, she can't work in a siege comp for the same reason. Her damage is too low for a dive/engage comp, and her damage vs towers (With her crippled base AD) isn't high enough to split push.

Are you JAXing kidding me? MF is better than ever.

Her win rate/pick rate is through the roof compared to her previous iterations... her team fight potential is way higher and her bursting capabilities actually exist now. I don't even play ADC, I play support/jungle, but even I can see that MF is infinitely better than before.

I've played the new mf 2 times now, and she is some what broken. When you hit level 2 you can get a 60% AS buff AT LEVEL 2!!!! That's more than any other and at max rank its 120% AS buff, with just a item 3087 and item 3006 as my only AS items i get about 2.20 atack speed when i use my W. I can keep that if i auto champs/minions so its a BIG team fight tool. The passive works well with that, lets say that your facing a Ezreal/Sona lane. If you auto ezreal then atuo sona then back to ezreal you will get the passive proc on ez 2 times or more if you keep doing that. Her E was never that good but it got a 200 range buff with it. Her Q's damage with her passive is INSANE!!!! If you kill a minion with it and it hit a champ + passive its HUGE damage, i was chunking for over 1/2 half.

Then the best for last her ult. It has good damage with it because it lasts for 3 sec now and not 2 and when ever you upgrade it it get 1 more line of bullets so your going to kill with it. I picked up penta with her cause she has the damage for it with a good lane and team fight.

I always thought of her as an AoE carry. I was disappointed that riot didn't support that until now. But in retrospect, it probably wasn't good to support an "Anti carry" in a lane where 9 times out of 10, your opponent is a glass cannon.

The Miss Fortune right now is probably more overpowered than anything. She has no real fall offs besides not having a strong form of mobility but even then she has a 100 MS steroid that can potentially last forever.

Miss Fortune's main fall offs before was having no mobility (buffed), falling off late game (buffed), and her ultimate required you to be ahead to do damage with (insanely buffed).

Miss Fortune right now does well at any part of the game and works with and against basically any team comp, she's extremely strong.

not sure how she was an "anti carry". Strong laner maybe, but that doesn't make you an anti carry. Urgot would be considered an anti carry in the sense that he can shut you down in lane AND if he is able to get his passive going on you he can reduce you damage by 15%. MF was (and still is) a lane bully with an aoe wombo, not an anti carry.
