[PBE] MF's AD per level reduced to 1 from 3? I hope that's a typo...

She'll only end up with 67 base AD at level 18, all because of her new Love Tap? Is she supposed to be 100% incapable of dueling an opponent when she's out of other targets?

EDIT: Quoting Statikk.

Sometimes it will be best to focus fire a target and ignore Love Tap altogether, I think that's okay that it depends on the situation.

I would think of Love Tap as a "bonus" rather than something MF has to do in order to just function.

Yeah... 1 AD per level doesn't let MF duel someone EVER.

Her love tap damage is through the roof, it is a buff if you can master her and stay back when you can and destroy with your ult. Which now deals all physical damage and has ad scaling.

That does not refute , nor contradict the original poster's argument. MF is not going to be able to duel, at all.

Its the price you pay for being a heavy AOE damage threat, which will be her identity.

Too high a price. And it's not just in dueling, but in objective secures and tower killing.

Yup it's intended.

And that statement is pretty untrue: If you aren't getting Love Tap bonuses, your damage falls. It's not a bonus for triggering it, it's a punishment for not triggering it. That said, her damage can be pretty ridiculous in some scenarios.

Still not sure how I feel about the rework. No help I keep running into Caitlyn on PBE that now counters her somewhat vs not as much live (I have never had an issue against Cait as MF on live.)

The problem is that Riot is banking too much power into Love Tap, and sacrificing too much of MF's base AD as a result. She's not just going to have difficulty with 1v1's, but also with objective secures and tower killing (compared to other marksmen).

It's TOO punishing when MF's base AD at level 18 is worse than Chogath's level 1 AD.

Her W is a 120% attack speed steroid for 3 seconds (5 sec after proc'ing love tap once). Love tap deals 100% of her total AD when proc'd and it will proc once on a single target. She's still able to duel (or rather explode) squishies very efficiently.

A dueling situation with a tank might be another thing. But why would you be killing a tank alone in the first place? She got tools to move quickly around the map and pick her fights as she pleases. Increased range on E also nicely allows her to slow down approaching enemies from a far to give her that extra time to strut away.

Overall the changes are huge buffs to her.
