12/11 PBE Update

Miss Fortune Make it Rain (E) cooldown increased from 14/13/12/11/10 to 22/19/16/13/10

Riot. These aren't the nerfs Miss Fortune needs honestly. Her problem is that double tap does WAY too much damage early and that her ult can destroy people. I think if you at least made double tap have a maximum damage and have it scale with level, she wouldn't be able to be as annoying in all stages of the game and her early game is weaker.

The real power of this nerf is that maybe i wont have any more MF support picks on my team

They are waiting to see the effects of the sorcery AD nerfs on her early game damage.

It'll probably be more than you'd think since her kit is doubly sensitive to the effects of AD gains and losses as love tap makes up for her super low base AD, especially early on.

They likely nerfed her E because it is stronger than it needs to be with the sustain gains from mana flow band + strong synergy in easy application of comet and scorch.

It's a practical nerf that will lower her power early on without breaking core strengths. I'm sure they will nerf MF further if she continues to be a big outlier

Long term I'd like to see riot further improve MF's skill curve.

well that would nerf the meteor in lane bully pressure... so yeah seems good actually.

it's actually her E in conjunction with Sorcery that makes her laning oppressive, and they nerfed it hard both directly and indirectly:

Scorch 30 base > 20 base Manaflow Band 60 sec - 75 sec CD Sorcery: -3 AD Make it Rain: 22 second CD (which drastically lowers her escapability and chase power).

These nerfs will knock 3-5% off her winrate almost immediately.

All this does is nerf my fun with AP MF. Well it was great while it lasted I guess.

Put this into perspective.

MF has nerfs on PBE.

Scorch is nerfed

AD from Sorcery tree is nerfed

Manaflow band is nerfed

Lethality is nerfed

Those 4 non-MF nerfs will hurt Varus and Jhin too.

MF's ult right now literally does triple the damage of a velkoz ult without the need for set up and it's triple the width so better nerf her fucking E

Well at least this will definitel kill support MF, not that support MF was ever necessarily good, but it's kind of annoying.

Did you read the entirety of the PBE changes? MF is getting 5 nerfs total in this patch, so take that all into account before making this post lol:

  1. E cooldown increased until last rank
  2. Lethality items (ALL have 2 less lethality, and given most MF builds incorporate 1 lethality item it's still a hit)
  3. Scorch damage decreased at early levels (helped with early poke dmg)
  4. Manaflow band cooldown increased by 15 seconds
  5. Combination path from sorcery --> less AD/AP

For how easy her ult is to aim and hit, it sure does some insane AoE dps. And its a hell of a long ranged ability for an ADC like her.

Dont worry they are nerfing all AD Assassins Leathality items.

Neidox12/12/2017, 2:33:40 AM2 votes

They are trying to kill the support style MF. Which is lame.

Currently MF can just spam E on cooldown with comet for a guaranteed hit. Additionally, the repetitive hitting lowers the CD of comet significantly. Right now MF can just poke you out of lane without interacting with you at all. It's SO much damage.

To the people mentioning how much Double Up does: It's always been a strong poking tool, but currently her best poking tool is Make It Rain which is not intended.

This nerf makes sense for right now, though I suspect there will be need for further nerfs in the future.

You're forgetting that they're nerfing both lethality items and runes which indirectly nerfs her further as well. I'm glad they're using this approach since she was fine before runes got reworked. And how exactly is she good at all stages of the game? Have you ever seen an MF getting into late game vs a tank?

Anyone that uses her E everytime its off CD is out of mana fast in lane anyways. I don't really see this "nerf" doing anything to miss fortune as an ADC.
