How to beat Miss Fortune

Common role: ADC

A lane-bully marksman who poke-bursts and channels an AoE ult that wrecks grouped teams.

What makes Miss Fortune dangerous

Miss Fortune bounces her Q for poke and burst, and her ultimate (Bullet Time) is a channeled cone of bullets that shreds a grouped, clustered team — a devastating teamfight tool in chokepoints. She dominates the laning phase with poke but has no mobility or escape.

How to play against Miss Fortune

• 1Interrupt her ultimate — Bullet Time is a channel. Any hard CC (stun, knock-up, silence) or forcing her to move stops it instantly.
• 2Don't stand in a line/cone in front of her ult, and don't group tightly — spread out so her bullets hit fewer targets.
• 3Her Q bounces to a second target — stand away from low-health minions/allies so it doesn't chain big damage onto you.
• 4She has no dash or escape — dive her with a gap-closer or hard CC. She folds once reached.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Ult is a channel — any CC interrupts it.
• ✓No mobility or escape — divable.
• ✓Squishy; hard CC and gap-closers punish her.
• ✓Grouped teams feed her ult — spread to deny it.
