Miss Fortune desperately needs some help

I mean a few other AD carries do too but at least Ashe/Varus/Draven etc. have clearly defined strengths that outweigh their immobility. She doesn't even need any huge changes to be a decent champ again; most of all I'd like to see her passive decay when damaged rather than instantly go away so that she at least has some kiting potential at the beginning of the fight.

There are some other things I could see helping her out (particularly making her ult work like Lucian's, perhaps with some other balance changes so that it's not broken) but she's fine in the damage department. It's largely just usability that's the issue. The AD magic damage and AP physical damage is pretty awkward but at least it doesn't make her mechanically clunky to play the same way her passive works. Her Q turning into an auto reset would also be a decent change.

Really though I'm just so sad it's been years since I've seen her played competitively and it would be so easy to give her some minor QoL buffs to make her viable again. I wouldn't even mind her getting some compensation nerfs if her passive and abilities didn't feel so awkward to use.

TL;DR possible MF fixes: decaying passive rather than instant -70 ms which just feels weird auto reset for Q (this one isn't that bad honestly, but I wouldn't really mind it) no mana cost on W (trist q, kog w, etc. have all had their mana costs taken away on their steroids while this considerably weaker steroid still has one) a change with the awkward scaling on Impure Shots stacks and ult damage (i love triforce mf but realistically it's trash so you never get AP on her aside from baron) E being easier to use; shorter animation or perhaps none? it's her only real defensive ability and the fact that it holds her in place for about .25s leaves her passive easy to pop Bullet time either working like Vel'koz's ult or Lucian's. Having a core part of an ad carry's kit involve them being completely stationary just doesn't sit right with me. If this were changed I hate to say it but I'd completely understand a compensation nerf

Again, I can't stress enough how much I understand compensation nerfs would be needed if any (or all? I can dream) of these were implemented. I just want her to feel not so outdated.

Discuss my redundancy and the fact that the TL;DR is nearly as long as the preceding paragraphs. Oh and discuss MF :^)

Your tl;dr is longer then the actual paragraph you made. Lawl?

Also, MF's steroid applies Grevious Wounds. Which, now that E.C. is gone, can only be done with Morello's or Ignite, or a few select champs. MF is a champ that has Grevious Wounds built into her kit. On the w having a mana cost, I think it's fair. Granted, I'd love a zero mana cost w, and think it wouldn't be broken, but at the same time I can see why w still does have a cost.

MF's pretty good where she's at now, actually. Only issue is that her ult kinda does subpar damage compared to her autoattacks late and can only really be used as an execute on a runner.

You should see the last game I played as her. :)

I think she is okay. I wouldn't mind a "slight" buff. I think I might have to play her on the rift to get a good feel but as an ADC for me she always seems to still be in the game. Her ult is lack luster though.

MF isn't exactly weak right now. She's just out classed by every single other ADC, her only thing going for her is literally her Grievous wounds. I really think Riot should expound on that and make her a Niche Split push, or Tank Busting ADC. She's great against people like Garen and Mundo though.

And your right, Do SOMETHING with her ult, it is so sub par compared to every single other ADC. Nobody else's ult requires them to be a sitting duck for 2 seconds while doing sub par damage.
