Would you consider MF as the balanced ADC others should be compared to?

I noticed MF seldom comes up on the gameplay boards. This is a trait shared with Velkoz, who has been seen as one of the most balanced champs in the game for a long while now.

Would you consider MF one of the more balanced ADC's in the game in terms of kit, strengths, weaknesses etc?

She's less annoying to deal with than the rest Her Q is basically like a crit, but it's telegraphed pretty easily Champs with crit-like functions Caitlyn Jhin Senna Xayah Tend to pull it off faster than MF, with either a form of CC or an escape in case things go wrong Not to say MF doesn't have her own CC (E) or escape (W/P i guess), but it isn't going to beat a full root or untargetability

No. Any adc that has a passive that can almost 1 shot anyone is not balanced.

Balance is a champion that through a combination of Attacks and skills performs well.

MF can literally almost 1 shot without even using a skill.

She is op as fuck, and the only reason she doesn't have 70+ winrate is because most other ADCs are also op as fuck and also because she is an easy target for both assassins and mages

Jinx low mobility low cc high risk high reward which makes her fit very well into the balance triangle. she has been fairly decent for all of her history and the only time she was super broken was that one time where sivir was broke too. shes very easy to play but rewarding for mains who can position well with her.

I would say Jinx is the most balanced ADC and Jhin MissFortune are close behind her

the current meta fawours a burst of raw damage aproach... thas why mf is currently at the top of the adc pecking order

but botlane shoudnt be ballanced around her current power level. Currently botlane (as in adc) is a weak role, its middle of the road in low elo... but in higher elo's it osnly gets worse.. even pro players start lumping it with toplane when it comes to impact on the game. And it is weak because sustained damage which is their primary contribution to the team is just less desirable and weaker overall.

many of their items got nerfed over time... IE lost half of its crit damage bonus... phantom dancer got reworked into a defensive item with less stats... rapid fire cannon and stormrazor got added and started pushing adc's into lower damage playestyles relying on range and utility.

There is also addition of bramble vest and also changes to thornmail which changed it from an anti adc item into an general armor item with bonus benefits vs adc's... so enemies take it just because they can, rather than taking it to stop a fed adc... so many enemies start investing heavily into anti adc items without even thinking about it.

Mf is not a top tier adc by herself... she is a top tier adc because no other adc align with the meta the way she does and with her reliance on spells she sidesteps some of the nerfs that were done to adc itemization. So it makes no sence to ballance the role around the only adc that doesnt fall out that hard.

idk a champ who has an ult that can ace an entire team in 2 seconds doesnt seem very healthy. but she doesnt have 3 million dashes, she doesnt have any point and click spells that 1shot you.

i just think ults like mf rumble shouldnt be able to destroy an entire team in 2 sec. but other than that mf is fine to me.

Velkoz balanced?, you are wrong kiddo. Vekoz is an extremely one-sided anti-melee champ playing midlane this term is never balanceable, if the meta is right he becomes broken, if it's bad he is above 50% if he is broken and below if he is fine.

MF doesn't have 10 thousand jumps as the old design team said how a succesful ADC should be designed. She is an easier to balance champ consequently, she has a more stable gameplay as she portrays what an ADC supposed to be: positioning somewhere behind the backline and dealing most damage overall.

No. She is dead simple to play, has a super strong ult, free attack speed and movement speed, super simple burst damage autos. She is insanely good when you look at pickrate/winrate, very strong at all stages of the game.

Actually come to think of it that is a shining example of what marksmen unfortunately is in this game.

She's kind of annoying to deal with, but the positioning is basically the same as you would face a mage: stand off to the side so they don't get to damage you AND the wave. Her damage and reach is insane, and can definitely carry a game if she gets ahead, but also has the potential to lose the game if she plays poorly (unlike hypercarries, who just have to bide their time and they'll scale up eventually).

All she really needs is a mini-VGU like Morgana and Ezreal got so she can get an updated VO and some internal organs.
