@Riot: Y U so stupid with Miss Fortune rework...?

Arcane Azmadi··4 votes·556 views

Pfft. What a joke. OK, so at least you backed down on the moronic "Impure Shots only applies AS to first 3 attacks" bullshit you were testing before, but the rework is still a waste of time and ultimate a net nerf to what is already the weakest ADC in the game. Why? She still doesn't have a real passive!

My GOD Riot! Why, why, why, why, WHY are you so physically incapable of giving her the most OBVIOUS buff any champion in LoL has ever needed! Strut REMAINS on of the worst passives in the game, good for running back to lane slightly faster or catching up to your team when you're late for a teamfight and NOTHING ELSE. No, having Impure Shots' active reactivate it does NOTHING for it because it still gets instantly turned off if she so much as gets coughed on by a gnat! EVERY time the issue of MF's balance comes up you get told the same thing over and over again- "fix her passive" but you just don't listen!

That aside, the rework is still just grade-A dumb. People have been screaming at you that removing Grievous Wounds from her W active is a bad idea because it negates the one and only thing she does (win duels against sustain tanks like Swain and Warwick or let her win duels in botlane by nerfing the enemy ADC's Heal) and you ignored them, giving it a 4-second shorter CD which makes NO difference because she still loses trades against pretty much everyone. You upped the bounce damage on her Q but almost halved the seeking radius, making it much harder to connect with, making her even LESS reliable. The only unambiguous buff you gave her was the increase on the ranks 1-4 of her E slow, which is basically an acknowledgement that "yeah, this skill sucks, so let's at least make it more useful at the rank 1 you're going to leave it at for most of the game".

Epic fail, Riot. Epic fail. You make such a big song and dance about MF because of your new Bilgewater (cough) '"event" but only manage to take the game's worst ADC and make her worse. And it's not like it was THAT hard, but apparently it was too much to ask you.

The "rework" wasn't a rework, and I don't think it was a fail either. They gave her a tremendous amount of buffs on every ability including her passive and ultimate ability.

The differences between the old and new Miss Fortune is that she's simply overall stronger. She can poke harder, duel more effectively, teamfight much better, and is still really strong in contradiction to what the community said before. Miss Fortune is really healthy and she has defined strengths and weaknesses and from someone who has played pretty much every ADC in the game extensively, not necessarily mastering but definitely getting to the point where I can carry just fine with any of them, Miss Fortune doesn't feel like she's lacking and actually I find that she does better than a lot of the current ADCs and statistically she does.

I love MF and keep playing her, but I know she's not the best. She has a great image and the way she runs around and shoots her bullets is awesome. But c'mon, this was NOT a buff. On paper it kinda seemed like a buff, now I've played her and had a better look at things, I can clearly tell it's not.

Her Q is way more predictable, while with her previous Q I could shoot from any position and I knew it was gonna hit. Skilled players don't get fooled that easily and keep away from it. The crit buff on it makes it more fun though.

Her W isn't that impressive. Not sure why they buffed the attack speed in PBE and then removed it again to how it was... now you just have attack speed for a champ that can't get away. Oh and the strut activation... strut isn't escape, it's basically boots of mobility so please don't make it sound that great. The stacks are ok I guess, but you don't really feel it's there. Maybe because it deals magic damage. I get that this could be interesting, but believe me she's one of the last adc's you would pick if you want to shred tanks or champs with upgraded armor. I would prefer this to be physical damage, it's clearer and it goes way better with her build (armor penetration). To give up grievious wounds for this was definitely a nerf, a least reduce her stack limit, increase the damage from let's say 6% to 8% and make it physical damage... THEN we have something.

Her E was nerfed... 3 sec slow reduced to 2 sec slow. Remember she can't escape properly? Riot's excuse was to make her E damage more siginificant, guys her E deals magic damage and is simply a tool for her to do combo's or to slow.

Her legendary ult together with her crazy laugh, makes it one of the coolest of all the ult's in the game. But again it's simply just a lot of noise. Riot is probably not gonna get rid of the E stacks. That's fine but her attack damage on her ult remains very low. Give her an extra AD % or simply increase her ult's base damage. Her ult is one of the main reasons I even pick her. For a static ADC like MF (one of the very very few) this ability compensates her immobility in a way. But make it worth, make it a truly strong ult... otherwise you simply can't rely on her kit these days.

She needs a buff, a big one, please do... because to have worked on such an awesome champ but not making her viable, is simply a waste.

  1. Make her strut activate when she activates any spell, it's really not that big a deal.
  2. Her Q could have some kind of a knock-back when anyone jumps on her and she shoots from close.
  3. Make her deal more damage with less stacks and also physical damage > magic damage.
  4. Make her ult mean something again

It's maybe a lot of words, but this is something she needs. With these buffs, she'll be more viable, probably still not top tier. I can live with that though, but just give her some love.
