I need some MF help. It seems like most builds are kind of ashe-like glass cannons, which doesn't really seem to help. How are people building her these days? Maybe a frozen mallet or something first? I'm at a loss here. It seems I dominate early lanes but as the game goes on it is too easy to be focused, granted, I am playing solo queues where tanking is mostly a foreign concept, but still.

Any help would be appreciated.

This Miss Fortune Guide might help you, with good positioning you really only need a banshee's Veil.

This is a guide by stalyn, a pretty good theory crafter and player from LC

very long title, haha, but has a ton of strategy packed in there

As a range carry, you will always be a glass cannon. You have to get used to it. You're not a tanky dps like a Xin or Irelia, and you will never be.

The only 1v1 fights you should be winning in the beginning is against other glass cannons. MF has no CC, and the only way you win fights is to kill them before they kill you. Prepare to stand and fight if you are caught and you don't have any escapes left. Occasionally you can actually kill 1 before you drop.

Do not build a Frozen Mallet early on. Your priority is to be deadly as soon as possible. Once you have at least 1 good damage item (BloodThirst, IE) then you can focus on BV and so on. Early Dorans can give you some survivability as you are building up that item. Frozen Mallet is an item that you get towards the end to help with chasing people down.
