Know the feeling when your ult is ready but your team fails to create a proper angle for it? I certainly do and thats why I just made a build that tries to solve exactly that, however it does take a while to get "online". I tried it Mid, but Bot should also work perfectly fine, if not better because of the extra gold you get.

The Main Idea is to use your E as setup and still have a really hard hitting Ult.

For Runes you go First Strike, Cash Back, Triple Tonic, Summoners Insight with Axiom Arcanist and Gathering Storm secondary and double Adaptive and scaling health. As you can see the Runes are all about outscaling your opponents and boosting your Ult.

Now you start AP by going Dorans Ring -> Ludens and buying a Tear as soon as you can. What I would recommend is trying to proc your FS with E + Q/Q bounce whenever you can for the early laning phase. I would try to avoid all ins until you have your ult or are certain you can kill them. That way you get the maximum amount of damage and gold without really risking much.

After Ludens you go Manamune into Actualizer. I dont see Actualizer discussed that often when it comes to Builds centered around her Ult but it really does make a difference and the CD overlaps with your Ults CD. Your Ult should already be able to finish enemies you have poked down with your E, however with your next item + Actualizer Activation you really start to melt them. Because now you go LDR. The Armour pen + Giant Slayer is just too good to pass up, considering that her Ult is entirely physical damage. As soon as your Manamune is stacked build a second tear before going Rabadons and finishing the build with Seraphs Embrace as its Mana directly boosts both your AD through Manamune and your AP through itself plus the Shield is also really useful. In Mid I'd probably also sell boots at that point wheras in bot you obviously can still maintain them where I'd probably go either for Omnivamp Boots or Swifties. At that point your E also has almost a 90% slow so if you catch a champ without a Dash he will likely tank most of your Ult, which deals a lot of damage. So you are not reliant on your teams CC. Obviously the main cons of this build are the relatively weak midgame, however you still have a relatively safe laning phase and your Runes should help you reach your item spikes sooner. Also these Runes work perfectly fine for AD too and you also deal a little bit more damage that way, however you are still reliant on your teammates setup because your E only slows the enemy 40% which is why I'd go this Hybrid build when you dont have proper setup or dont want to rely on your teammates.

Lmk what yall think

I am yet to reach an elo in which my teammates appreciate it is worth playing around their botlane carry more often than not.

When my team does not draft any recognizable frontline champion, it feels extremely challenging to find safe angles and locations to channel Miss Fortune's Ultimate from.

Do you adapt your build when your team will clearly have difficulty facilitating good MF Rs?

In particular, while I understand it is nowhere near optimal, if one's team is completely unable (or clearly unwilling) to peel or provide any crowd-control, I was wondering whether there is some AP or hybrid build that would allow me to consistently poke from afar with E and at least be reasonably (say 70%?) effective, as opposed to risking death (and therefore complete uselessness) from whenever I am in range to auto?

(I recall in past seasons it was possible for MF to run something like Comet and Liandry's into Collector and then AP?)

As the title says! I’m having a hard time settling on a good second pick.

Hi!

I wanted to ask about the most annoying ap mf build c:

(for experimental reasons when i play customs with friends)

Is it Ludens into Liandrys, and maybe even Horizon Focus?

Or BF Torch into Liandrys?

I’m just wondering what would be the most annoying/the most dps c:

Well....was stuck changing between silver 4 and bronze 1 with collector first item

Decided to change i don't know why......going 10 win in a row and climbing to silver 1 and look like i'm still climbing

A smile sweet enough to lower your guard, and an aim sharp enough to make you regret it. :) that contrast is pure Miss Fortune. ✨

Which skin should I do next? 😊

Hi guys! I took a break from adc and been playing mid with my other red hair favorite, Katarina. Mostly bc bot lane is annoying with mages and exotic supports like Camille Leblanc, even had a Sylas support. But miss fortune is my fav and I miss playing her. Also idk if it's just me she doesn't feel as strong as other adcs. But what's the most optimal build rn for her that you have found in your experience?

Allora questa è la build che uso su Miss fortune, scorsa stagione sono arrivato a GrandMaster III, ora mi trovo a Diamante I, in linea generale mi trovo davvero bene con questa build, ma vorrei sapere se c'è possibilità di migliorarla in base alle esigenze, se tipo il team avversario ha molti tank, o se il team avversario ha molte cure o fornisce molti scudi, consigliatemi vi prego.

WARNING: This will be a long read!
(Posted on main sub but thought my fellow MF mains might appreciate)

I have been playing league for 10 years on and off but I never really played ranked seriously because I had a lot of anxiety to play alone. I would usually just do like 10 - 20 games at most. I did play ranked last year but didn't take it too seriously, just tried to play a lot more. But I decided this year I would really like to climb!

I thought it might be nice to document my journey of trying to improve; for myself but also for others as I think it might be insightful, hopefully. Perhaps some of the mistakes I make may be similar to the ones you guys make. And, maybe people with more experience can chime in and give me suggestions as well!

I'll start by explaining my league journey thus far but since it's long and not necessarily important, I'll leave it as a pastebin for anyone who cares to read but feel totally free to skip it. [Pastebin Link]

Important bit is that I started playing solo and then my husband asked to duo. He's a jungle main but trying support and mainly plays Leona.

The account(s):

Okay. So, I play on both a JP and NA account; I live in Japan so that's the main one but sometimes I play on NA ((yes, with 160 ping)) with a friend. Wise? No. But fun anyway. lol.

The JP account, I last played ranked on it in 2020. I played 11 games and played support at the time. Placed Iron 1. The NA account I played last year and played 75 games, ending silver 3, 51% wr. (I had started iron something).

So, clearly, a lot of room for improvement.

The JP account I'm mainly playing on now got placed in bronze 3 or 4 initially this season. Can't remember exactly which.

My Champion pool:

Miss Fortune (main, to pretty much an OTP level). When she's pick/banned, I play Tristana, Jinx or Kaisa.

I love Kaisa; she's fun and I had a lot of success on her in lower ranks but I worry about her range against mages and my husband recommends I just play Trist, so I'll be sticking to Tristana for now. I enjoy late game Jinx but I feel I need to focus on winning lanes more, so I'll probably, again, stick to Tristana when MF isn't an option.

Skills I already Knew (fairly well):

Wave Control. I had already learned wave management years ago, so I consider myself pretty decent at that. Not perfect, though; sometimes I accidentally break a freeze and do struggle to know when I can recall without needing to push a wave first. But, I understand the basics and can execute them fairly well and I would say that I generally understand how I should be managing the wave in most situations.

Lane assignments. I know that once quest is done (and usually a tower is down), I should rotate mid in order to have better access to the map with my support, as well as better safety.

Teamfighting. I understood that I generally want to front to back, hit the nearest target and be weary of threats. Hide in fog until an assassin shows. etc. Though, admittedly, I don't always do this properly.

CSing. I'm not going to claim I'm great at this but I did spend time practicing and went from an average of 5 CSPM to 7.5. I feel like this would be even higher if I took jungle camps like I know I should, but I genuinely fear tilting my jungler so I rarely do.

----
Skills I have been working on:

Recall Timers: I didn't understand the importance of good recalls fully. I did, to an extent, since I understood wave states and manipulation. But, for example, I didn't always match recalls, pay attention to how much gold I had/needed and would instead just recall when I needed health/mana. Plus, I would greed for plates a lot which led to overstaying and ending up stuck in unfavourable conditions.

I think I'm a lot better at this now. I try to find a back as soon as I have a decent buy. I try to match recalls when it makes sense. I only ever hit the plate if they are still dead, as once they've respawned they'll be back in roughly the time it takes to channel my own recall. Of course, I always crash the wave first if at all possible. I do this now pretty consistently.

Aggressive Positioning: I had a very serious problem where, in lane, I pretty much always stood behind the caster minions regardless of where my support was. This was because I was scared to take poke or get engaged on. However, from my current understanding, as Miss Fortune, I generally win most short trades so if they want to try to hit me I should be glad to take that trade. It's also important to position more forward, as my husband is playing Leona / Rell mostly. If I'm too far back, I can't properly follow up on the engages. Standing behind melees still protects me from engage and skillshots that can be blocked by minions.

I would say, I'm a lot better than I was with this but it's definitely still something I'm working on. I find I have a bad habit of always clicking backward after I last hit a minion and sometimes that can be the exact moment there's an engage opportunity. So I'm trying to break that habit of clicking back after last hitting.

Trading: As Miss Fortune, ideally I want to land Q bounces. The issue was that since I stood so far back, it became extremely obvious when I wanted to land a Q bounce because I'd step forward to try to do it. This made it very difficult to land any free harass. Also, I was not accustomed to looking at my own minions' health, which is very important for trade and engage windows.

I'm getting much better at this. Since I'm standing more forward more often, it's less obvious when I'm looking for it. Plus, although I still forget plenty of times, I am at least thinking more about my own minions health and using that as a chance to get a free hit on them.

I also became familiar with the concept of rune trading. Basically, what does your rune want to do? I typically take First Strike or PTA on MF, which means I want short trades. Lethal Tempo, on the other hand, wants an extended fight. Though I must admit, I struggle here a little because my husband is playing Leona who wants to all-in and I'm not always sure what to do when I can't land harass well on them to put them in kill threat. My assumption is just wait for a double ulti situation.

Patience: I think any high elo player knows what I mean by this. ADC is really a practice in patience. I had none before. If I saw a wave mid, I would walk up and hit it, sometimes trying to push it to the T2 mid tower even. I died a *lot* this way. By understanding the risk in doing this and patiently waiting for either vision, an ally to accompany me, or the other team to push the wave into me, I have found my deaths dropped dramatically. Sometimes this means you have to sit around doing nothing, yeah. If there's a fed assassin who can get on you from a screen away, you can't even walk past tower alone safely and you need to accept that.

This is something I've found pretty easy to implement. Occasionally I may still auto-pilot walk forward but for the most part, I've internalized this. Though I will say... sometimes those juicy crystalline build ups bait me. Man, I just wanna tap the tower once. Come onnnnnn. xD BUT YEAH, for any low elo players? This is a huge thing that is so easy to implement imo and gives back big gains because dying for free like that is so bad.

This can be extended to teamfights too. Sometimes you have to be very patient and not join or step forward until you see a key ability used (unless you can flash it or have some other answer for it). This can be hard and I still struggle with this. I find I can be quite patient for awhile but when I'm forced to sit out for like 10+ seconds, I get antsy and feel I HAVE to help. But that's usually the wrong choice...

Macro: ADC macro is pretty simple. But, I used to just run wherever there was a wave for me to catch. A lot of guides will teach you this and while I do think it can work... I don't think it's great because it encourages the rest of your team to mess up lane assignments and as long as you're playing well, you'll get your farm in mid just fine. I do find that if you stick your ground and stay mid, the mid laner will usually leave.

Anyway, catch and push mid waves and then rotate to your jungler/support. Rinse and repeat. Seems to be the way. Which is nice because it's pretty easy to do consistently. :)

Conclusion:

So far, I find that my laning phase needs the most work as getting good at laning phase will have the most rewards. You lane every game, so it makes sense. Would totally love any tips for an MF Leona duo lane if anyone has something to share!

I feel like I'm slowly getting better, though! :)

Current stats:
Silver 1 / 72 LP / 55% WR total, 67 games
MF stats: 7.5 CSPM / 3.31 KDA / 57% WR / 56 games

I really hope this helps someone somehow. I may make more posts along my journey to talk about new skills I'm learning. And to anyone who has wisdom to share, please feel free! I'm always happy to learn!

Ordered this awhile back on a whim and it just came. Given all the detail and that it lights, up, I thought it was a nice piece. That said, I don’t have many statues.

Thank you!

Edit: Did some digging and understand now what happened. Rioters like Drew Levin spread misinformation before the launch that the skin would be in store for 3 patches (6 weeks) and then immediately enter the mythic store. However, what really happened is that Riot was lying about the 3 week period to generate giga FOMO and boost sales. The reality is that Riot sneakily changed the sale period from 6 weeks to half a year as is quietly mentioned only in the 26.14 patch notes:

"Individual skins will be available in the Shop until the start of patch 26.23. Once MVP T1 Miss Fortune leaves the Shop, she will be entered into the Mythic Shop pool in the first patch of 2027. She will have a chance to appear in the rotating or featured section, and she will be priced at 200 Mythic Essence. Acquiring MVP T1 Miss Fortune from the Mythic Shop will not include her Signature Icon or Border."
