One reason Miss fortune will never ever step up in competitive play

Against. When miss fortune is AGAINST them

Competitive League of Legends is played in draft mode In draft mode, both teams take turns banning and picking champions, so you have information about who you'll be playing with and against You should try playing draft mode some time, if you want to get into ranked then it's important to learn how draft works beforehand.

Thing is though Feast or Famine is long gone. Just look at how every assassin's lane. Look at Draven and Xin. Feast or famine is a thing of the past. MF is simply a lane bully who must take advantage of laning and team fight positioning. She is legit a one trick pony when it comes to team fights where the only "exceptional thing" you can do as MF is "good positioning" really. She's not difficult to play either. You can be behind but have suitable arm pen and items, all you do is sit back and press R.

However, there are few things she suffers from. People act like her MS makes her immortal. She's still an immobile ADC who must burn flash at a hard engage. The current meta demands if you are immobile ADC, you better have the fire-power to back it up so you can shred before you are shred down. Basically "best defense is a best offense." Next, it isn't easy to outplay lane bullies with such restricted kit. Look at it this way. lucian is the perfect embodiment atm as a lane bully. He forces fights and can control its pace and win. That's what a lane bully does. MF lost her touch of what she used to be. She still does great amount of damage but now she's not a mere early game champ. She actually needs arm pen and needs items to scale. Sure she can control laning but again she gets countered by hard engage which forcibly stops lane control.

I agree though champs that rely on feast or famine generally don't do too well in competitive team matches. I do think we should bring it back universally to balance some champs.

It is gone for most champions I agree. The rework of Fiora and the release of Ekko last year signaled a change in the balance team's thinking. They no longer like glass cannons. The problem is that assassins should not be reliable. With assassins in any games you're taking a huge risk by assuming you can best your lane opponent. If you mess up, then you pay for it for the rest of the game. That is the way it has to work.

Assassins don't offer the team anything other than kills, so I can see why they wanted to tinker with that formula again. However it's created a lot of problems for all of us this season.

Champions that work well in Gold or below are different than ones that work in higher ELO and competitive play. I don't think the majority of people realize that the majority of what works in competitive play will not work in our own ranked games, especially if you are in low ELO. Vice versa too. Riot should really do a better job at advertising that to lower ELO players even though I feel like it should be obvious.

The build makes her tankier and significantly more mobile. I know that just the Youmuu's active and Black Cleaver passive may not seem like much, but topped with her instant W/Strut it makes chasing her rather difficult. Another weakness it eliminates is her poor base Attack Damage, which is the worst in the game. The armor penetration pretty much fixes that issue because in the end she's usually doing nearly true damage to most squishy champs, especially if she applies all BC stacks.

She's still naturally an unreliable pick but I can see her being picked in the LCS with this build.
