Miss Fortune
I've recently picked up mf again in hopes of her new rework (super hyped btw) and I've realized a few things.
She isn't great. She's good, but not great. She has 0 mobility besides her passive which can be stopped by a single caster minion auto. Late game she more than almost every other adc has to position and think ahead. When she ults she is basically saying "Hey I'm standing still and vulnerable please come and take me". She needs champions that can seriously lock down and peel. She feels like she should be a late game carry who needs peel and they should fear her ultimate but she's designed to be an early lane bully.
The most frustrating thing to me is her ultimate. Why does it not have ad scaling? Every other adc who has an ulti that has ap scaling is because of its utility. Not to mention its one of the easiest things to just walk out of (besides
ultimate). I had high hopes for this update and was hoping to bring her back into some ranked play but I just can't bring myself to play her in ranked. She's so vulnerable.
Tldr: Missfortune's update is a bit of a letdown to me. She's not up to par as she should be with other adc in case of being safe.
was getting all of the issues with her kit fixed (e.g. her weird mixed damage scalings, unnecessarily poor late-game, underused AoE potential and complete lack of options when choosing when to engage or disengage). So far, the biggest change she received was the removal of the Grievous Wounds on her W, which got replaced by a Strut activation which will do nothing to help her kite in combat. Besides that, a buff to her Q which will mostly just affect her laning (which is already strong enough), and a few number tweaks, she's exactly the same, and none of her issues have been addressed. Riot even promised to make Strut scale into the late game, which they didn't do, and completely ignored requests to disable deactivation from minion-based damage past the early game, which the community has been asking for years. There have been balance tweaks that changed champions far more than Miss Fortune's current "rework", and the changes she's receiving feel like a huge missed opportunity. She also still hasn't received an expanded VO, too, so she's still stuck with her 17 lines, including that one now-obsolete reference to summoners. ;_;
's own overhaul. A lot of what was was promised on that page was either seriously exaggerated (e.g. her Strut activation on W, which from experience on the PBE does nothing to help her disengage, even in the very specific case where she purchased
and maxed out its shield), or just flat-out wrong (namely, her Strut scaling per level).
