Soooo, I LOVE to play MF. I usually start off with a mekki pendant so I can constantly harass with double up. I turn that into a manamune ASAP and get merc treads.

from then on I usually build bloodthirster > ie > black cleaver.

the thought process behind my build is that I have the potential to devastate the enemy team in teamfights with a HUAHAHAUHAUEAHUHUEAUHEHEUHEAUHAAEHUEHUAUAUHAAA ult.

Would it be more effective to still start off with a mekki pendant, skip the manamune in general, and go for bloodthirster > phantom dancer > ie?

looking for feedback/advise/suggestions please

start with d blade
build infinity edge
dont get manamune

Generally speaking an AD carry who leans on abilities for AD damage (MF or Caitlyn, but not Tristana or Ashe) should emphasize +AD and put less emphasis on attack speed or +crit. The reason being, of course, that such items enhance autoattacks, but autoattacks are not your focus.

Try to build/play so you don't rely on meki/manamune. They aren't as bad as a lot of nerd ragers want to make them out to be, but late game the only damage +mana really nets you is in the rare circumstance that you're otherwise out of mana. That's not likely later. Team fights go far too quickly and your natural reserve will get you through.

This just reminded, off subject, of a bunch of nerd ragers cursing me for grabbing a meki on Karthus, even though I had done so because between that, runes, and masteries, I could lay waste almost constantly. He's a mana-dependent AP carry though, so the extra mana did literally translate into extra damage. You shouldn't have that so much with MF.

who's mf?

It's all so dependent on ELO/level that it's hard to say.

In the higher ELOs, people are much better at staying clear of double-ups, so mana isn't the issue, opportunities are.

At higher summoner levels, mana regen per level runes will cover you quite well starting around level 6 or so.

Yeah, sry i'm asking. But who is MF?????

mf means Miss Fortune.

Your build is great. Fit in some survivability in between when suited and keep playing her that way. Depending on whether you are more effective with auto-attacking in teamfights, build ArmPen. Some people advise MPen when MF is utilizing her ult to more of an effect than auto-attacking. Problem is too many luxury items.

I'm a hater of Doran's items now due to the potion nerf. I'd only grab them AFTER the initial items if I'm in need for some early game help due to being shut down, but otherwise I'd go with meki pendant & 2 HP pots- or a plain shoes and 3 pots which is certain to annoy the poop out of your opponent.

Manamune is an ok item but it's not completely necessary to have on Miss Fortune.
She's a very auto-attack oriented champion with the use of skills only to harass (Q) or to help get in some more auto attacks (W or E).

I would recommend building strong damage as soon as possible such as Last Whisper or any of the items that build off BF Sword. Ultimately, it's all situational and is up to you to decide which is the best choice!
