Miss Fortune Pros and Cons in League of Legends Season 14
Pros:
- Miss Fortune is very good in the early game. Her Q and auto attack combo lets her unleash a quick burst of damage that can easily buy lane priority against most ADCs in Riot’s MOBA.
- Bullet Time is one of the best teamfight ultimates in the game which can instantly wipe out the enemy team when timed right.
- Miss Fortune has a very flexible item path which allows her to go either Lethality or Crit depending on the situation and the match-ups.
- She is good at securing objectives and does a great job at taking down the Baron and Drake.
Cons:
- Miss Fortune lacks a fair bit of mobility. While Strut can help her to an extent, the lack of a dash makes her susceptible to ganks in lane and she is very easy to collapse on during a teamfight
- Her Ultimate can be interrupted. While it’s a great tool to melt the entire enemy team, you will not only have to time it right but also make sure that the enemy team does not have the CC to stop its channel.
- The Bounty Hunter is also mana-intensive with limited crowd-control abilities. She has a hard time chasing down kills and is very dependent on a Blue Buff. Opting for Essence Reaver or Manamune can circumvent this issue.
How to play Miss Fortune: Tips and Tricks for League of Legends Season 14
Early Game:
- In the Early Game, make sure to not leash for your jungler so you can get lane priority quickly. Miss Fortune is a lane bully and excels in the early game. Try to harass the enemy bot lane as much as possible. Look for angles where you can get your Q to kill a minion and bounce to an enemy for lots of damage.
- Secure towers and get early leads. Miss Fortune’s first power spike comes when she completes Youmuu’s Ghostblade, if you are opting for Lethality, or Bloodthirster if you are opting for crit. Look to be a bit more aggressive during the laning phase.
- Help your jungler secure early Drakes. Push in the lane and posture around the Dragon Pit to make it annoying for the enemies to contest the objective. Don’t be afraid to use your E to harass the enemy.
Mid Game:
- During the Mid Game focus on grouping up with the team and securing the objectives around the map. With her early power spike she will be able to help you secure Rift Herald, Baron, and Drake pretty easily.
- As Miss Fortune remains squishy all throughout the game with low mobility options, she is highly susceptible to ganks. Getting caught out when pushing far into the lane is a big possibility. So be careful of the enemy position when clearing waves and killing minion camps.
Late Game
- With the amount of burst that Miss Fortune has, you don’t really need to kite around a teamfight if you have a good frontline. She plays out best when she stands and delivers, and looking for opportunities to make the most of her ultimate.
- If you have an enchanter or an engage Support, don’t be too afraid to position aggressively.
