MF Underrated?
All the pros focus on Lucian and Ezreal while Cait and Vayne are regularly seen as the secondary picks. Meanwhile, MF seems criminally Under-rated.
MF can nuke a whole team with the Ult (this alone can win entire team fights and even if it doesn't land, can often force the entire enemy team to play around it). She can nuke a whole team (and with Essence Reaver + Crit she has it up for pretty much all TFs) AND dealing tons of sustained damage. Her auto attack rate and damage is still on the high side IN ADDITION to the power of this Ult.
She's just really really strong at all stages of the game. Mid to late game she runs around dealing tons of damage with her autos and her Ult.
Early game, she's probably the strongest laner. She's the character to pick if you want to win or go even in the lane; you'll rarely do worse through the pick. Her Q does absurds amounts of poke damage and if the enemy tries to play around it, you've generated a huge Let Me Farm In Peace zone that other ADCs struggle to create.
Unlike Cait who falls off later in the game or Ez who struggles early in the game, MF is strong at ALL STAGES IN THE GAME.
Why not pick her?
If the enemy picked a ton of assassins? Just pack a 1 GA into the build and have your team peel; your damage is still ridiculous.
Is there something I'm not seeing?
Lucian can't Nuke a whole team and he isn't as strong in some stages of the game. Ezreal just seems way too unreliable even if he may be safer and his early game is horrible. Vayne has a bad laning phase and
