After several discussions, I STILL Think Miss Fortune's Ult does way too much damage.

I don't believe such a wide reaching AoE should be allowed to 100-0 the entire team in a team fight. Shes' not Katarina. She shouldn't be penta killing off of a weird jungle skirmish and winning the game off of it. I refuse to accept that is good balance.

You mean an ult that is channeled and basically ANY cc will stop?

A knockup, a silence, a stun, a knockback, any cc except a snare/root/blind.

I often play champions who could stun them, but can't reach them by the time the damage has been done. And it's often behind their entire team.

You'd essentially be inting to stun them with some cheeky flash or dash. Guess what? You might have stopped the ultimate, but still end up losing the team fight anyway

You mean the ult that forces her to stay still & become 100% vulnerable to any dives by the opponent?

Totally agree. Yeah, she might be a squishy ADC, she may have to stand still and it may be interruptible, but it's still too much AOE damage.

To anyone that thinks otherwise, my answer is: compare it to Vel'Koz's ult.

  • Both champs are really squishy and have no mobility.
  • Both ults forces them to stand still, and both ults are stoppable.
  • Miss Fortune's ult covers a much wider and bigger area, even though Vel'Koz should be the one that excels at AOE since, you know, he is a mage.
  • Miss Fortune's ult deals a lot more damage than Vel'Koz's one.
  • Unlike the squid, Miss Fortune doesn't need some special condition to be met so her ult does its full damage. On the other hand Vel'Koz has to land 3 of his abilities on every enemy before ulting so his ult does respectable damage. Otherwise his ult feels like a morning breeze.

Even calling MF an ADC is kind of a stretch at this point. She leans closer to being an AD mage rather than ADC, being crap at killing tanks but good at softening them up while nuking their entire back line at the same time. Hell, she doesn't even build ADC items. Sounds familiar?

In that sense she is comparable to Katarina. She does have her trade-offs in that her sustained damage is far far inferior to any true ADC. That said, it's probably because of how weak tanks are that you don't even need ADC to kill them anymore, they'll also die in her ult as collateral damage anyway.

My problem with her ulti is her ulti deals dmg each 0.25 second scaling down to 0.18 at rank 3. Meaning that you cant even flash before you take dmg.
