Miss Fortune getting a buff instead of a nerf if you think logically!!!

So in patch 7.5 Riot is thinking they are nerfing Miss Fortune by REMOVING: If double up's first shot kills the target the second shot will hit for 50% increased damage aka a CRIT HIT.

If a person looks at the facts on this and thinks a little they will notice the buff to miss fortune's Q- Double up

Currently in ranked and especially in pro play if a ADC chooses Miss Fortune their ultimate goal is to wait for a minion to be low with a champion behind it to punish with a double up. This sometimes takes 1-2 minutes to combo perfectly in a match especially in pro play. That means a skill that has a cooldown of 6-7 seconds early game is being used maybe once or twice per minute where if you abused the double up knowing the enemy adc has to move in to last hit you could very easily get in 6 or 7 uses in a minute. So lets do some math

a LVL 3 double up by lvl 5 which is indefinitely still in the laning phase will give you 5-6 shots per minute if you can manage your mana with masteries and maybe an item. Knowing the 2nd hit will do 100+ (100% bonus attack damage)+ 60% love tap damage if you bonus damage is 48 1 item plus starter item each hit will smack the enemy for 100 + 48 + 58 (base 49 plus additional 48 X 0.6) = 206 before armor( a low number for adc's) is factored in.

with the 50% crit bonus that's 309 per hit if minion killed

because people wait for the perfect chance to get that crit hit in they waist many chances to just hit the adc with a second hit dealing damage chunking the enemy's health. in a 2 to 3 minute time frame high lvl players can expect to use it 3 or 4 times because they wont use it if the minion is at perfect health but the champions is not in range or vice versa. that gives a high side of 4 X 309 = 1,236 damage in about 3 minute span using double up.

When the crit bonus goes away the need to wait for the perfect double up is gone and spamming the skill will be more natural. With mana costs recognized and the fact your enemy adc needs to move in range to last hit at least 3 of your minions you can get an easy 11-12 shots in the same time spam without the mana mastery would be approximately 11X206 or 2.266 damage.

So taking into account that a player probably wont use the skill 24/7 under either condition you can still expect to easily get 50-70% more damage in without the crit buff on the skill because theirs no longer a need to wait for crits.

It wasn't that hard to begin with. You can auto attack minions to get them low then pop off a Q. As an MF one trick I just pop off Q whenever the enemy is behind a minion regardless. It was really more or less icing on the cake to pop it off a killed minion. The best though was killing a champion with it, then getting a double kill off another champion because of the bonus.

This is definitely still a nerf.

I agree it is still a NERF in general and especially to players like us but for many players that wait for those crits they don't just spam the skill like we do for them its a buff because they will start using the skill more often.

I'm more salty about the mastery nerfs. They are even nerfing DFT in 7.5.

I already feel like I do 0 dmg unless I happen to get fed. Now it just feels worse. I really think Riot just hates marksmen.

Other champions can one shot them with one ability, yet we are expected to put 16 auto's in before it looks like we've even tickled a champion.

Unless you are Varus. Apparently Riot is ok with the damage on his Q, but MF's Q... too much. smh.

Well apparently Riot just gave mf a new BUILD all together now on the pbe her second shot does the same damage as the first shot but can critically strike for 200% damage so to nerf MF instead of wrecking her lethality build they moved her to a crit build like the first item to rush now is gonna be IE. But a crit build is actually a buff because her ulti will now critallcly strike for 20% more damage like every time you use it. Also she will still have lethality because you still get clever. also varus's is getting a Q rework either 7.5 or 7.6 that is supposed to be a nerf so yay lol.

Her Ult has the same type of wording, "can critically strike" but if you never build crit, it still critically strikes. I'm assuming you still don't need to build crit on her because of the wording of her new Q. It seems like the crit is built into the ability itself. For the past few patches I have not built crit on her often. The games I don't build any crit, I would often times have the highest critical strike in the game because of the way crit is built into the ultimate. This doesn't really change a lot. Just turns her into Q into an rng instead of a guarantee.
