What can I say but don't take extended fights, and you only win all-ins against him with some help. Instead, poke him often with your skills while watching for his "stand aside" ability, and make sure not to take too many empowered axes from him.
Alistar
Alistar's unique perk is his passive Triumphant Roar, which will constantly heal you so long as he gains the stacks (7) needed to activate it. In addition, his crowd control makes your kit function nicely and synergizes with your e/r combo.

I specialize in the bot lane, and the marksman champion I prefer to use is Miss Fortune. As you read this guide, you'll discover team compositions that work well with her abilities and get recommendations for suitable items.
With my guidance, you can improve your skills when playing as Miss Fortune.
So, let's get started with my guide on Miss Fortune - The Bounty Hunter!
|
Why choose Miss Fortune?: - This champion is relatively easy to understand and learn. - She deals excellent damage against targets during trades, has strong farming potential, and is effective at securing objectives such as turrets/ dragons or baron nashor. - Has the potential to carry the game, make big plays, and is a great team fight asset. I always enjoy playing Miss Fortune, and I hope you will too. |
Love Tap helps with last-hitting and harassment (scaling with levels, and attack damage). To maximize damage while farming or trading, hit new targets ( minions, champions, turrets or neutral objectives) often and switch between them. Love Tap will also triggeron-hit effects such as life steal on each target hit. |
| Cost: 43 / 46 / 49 / 52 / 55 Mana | Cooldown: 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 / 3 | Cast Time: Matches Basic Attack Timer | Target Range: Miss Fortune's Attack Range | Effect Radius: 500 | Angle: 160° | Speed: 1,400 | Double Up allows you to bounce a cannonball from one target to another, applying Love Tap, on-attack andon-hit effects ( Blade of the Ruined King, Muramana and Essence Reaver). It helps secure minions or bounce off near-dead minions for critical strikes on the secondary target hit (if any). Avoid spamming it often, as you will quickly run out of mana. Pairing it with Infinity Edge amplifies the bonus critical damage dealt. |
| Cost: 45 Mana | Cooldown: 12 | Cast Time: None | Strut improves Miss Fortune's mobility, which is advantageous both in and out of combat as long as she doesn't take any damage. By activating Strut, her passive movement speed is immediately increased to its full potential. Additionally, the attack speed buff can help her push lanes, trade more effectively, and secure objectives. When applying Love Tap to different targets you'll reduce the cooldown of Strut. Proper positioning is crucial to ensure that Strut's passive is not removed. When Miss Fortune respawns, she will receive movement speed equal to the current rank of Strut, allowing her to return to combat faster. |
| Cost: 80 Mana | Cooldown: 18 / 17 / 16 / 15 / 14 | Cast Time: 0.25 | Range: 1,000 | Effect Radius: 200 | Make it Rain is great for starting fights, slowing down enemies, potentially secure kills (if aimed correctly) or aid in your escape during combat. It's great for collecting Dark Harvest stacks from a safe distance, while also providing access to the enemy in the backline, even if tanks or other frontline champions are protecting them. |
| Cost: 100 Mana | Cooldown: 120 / 110 / 100 | Effect Radius: 1,450 | Width: 40 | Angle: 30° | Speed: 2,000 | Bullet Time is a potent ability during team fights and skirmishes. Very beneficial when used in tandem with Make it Rain or your teammates' abilities ( Malphite's Unstoppable Force, Leona's Shield of Daybreak, Solar Flare or the third cast of Yasuo's Steel Tempest plus Last Breath) to ensure maximum damage. With Bullet Time, you can create opportunities for your team, such as: - When looking to secure objectives ( Dragons, rift herald or Baron Nashor) . - Tipping the scale in a team fight or skirmish. Purchasing Infinity Edge, grants increased critical strike damage to each wave. |
I will share simple and practical combinations while playing Miss Fortune in Summoners Rift games, whether in draft or ranked modes. These combos will be easy to understand and implement.
Playing As Miss Fortune:
- You can use the ability Double Up to hit targets hiding in nearby bushes by bouncing off minions.
- To maintain the your Strut's passive, get shielding effects from items ( Bloodthirster), or the mountain dragon soul.
- Make it Rain can also be used when scouting for the enemy within a fog of war zone (walls, bushes, or areas where you do not have vision).
- To deal the most damage to the enemy with Bullet Time, position it in choke points, ensuring that each wave of bullets hits the enemy.
Playing Against Miss Fortune:
- Avoid being near minions when farming against her to avoid damage from her second Double Up bounce.
- When damaged Miss Fortune will lose the bonus movement speed from Strut, making it easier to chase her down.
- Stay mobile to avoid the damage from her Make it Rain- Bullet Time combo, especially when paired with potent initiators.
- Use your crowd control/impairment abilities when Miss Fortune activates Bullet Time, cancelling the channel.
As a Miss Fortune player, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the primary objectives for each game stage. Keeping this in mind can make all the difference in your performance. - Early game: In the game's early stages, your primary goal should be to gather as many minions as possible to earn both gold and experience. It will enable you to buy your essential items, giving you an edge over your opponent. Other tactics you can perform to deny your opponent access to gold and experience can include setting up a slow push, freezing the wave or trading with them. Additionally, it's essential to keep an eye on the enemy jungle and ward off the area to prevent any unexpected attacks. - Mid-game: During the mid-game, it's time to group up with your team and focus on team fighting and securing objectives like Baron Nashor, Rift Herald, or Dragons. Exercise caution when collecting waves or jungle camps, and always be mindful of your opponent's location to avoid falling into an ambush and getting eliminated. - Late game: You must make strategic decisions to secure victory in the late game. It may involve pushing lanes, focusing on objectives, or team fighting to take down the enemy nexus. Staying focused and making intelligent moves is essential, as a single mistake can be costly at this stage. |
Before prioritizing objectives like dragons or rift herald, one must consider the potential dangers of wandering around the map:
- How much could I gain/lose when roaming compared to staying in my lane?
- What are the risks to me?
- Will I get ahead from roaming, or will I need to catch up?
Assessing whether your involvement in team fights will impact the outcome or objective is critical. If it won't, it may be more beneficial to maintain pressure on the map from your current location.
To maximize your chances of victory as Miss Fortune, only engage with Double Up, Make it Rain, or Bullet Time once your enemies are in a favourable position to apply the most significant damage output.
Default
An essential spell for Miss Fortune that you should pick for your games 100% of the time. Since you don't have access to any form of self-peel, Flash assists when caught out or stuck in rough situations, allowing you to escape safely, dodging any crucial abilities.
Secondary Options
Barrier is helpful for Miss Fortune to shield yourself from highly damaging spells/auto attacks or damage dealt by foes who use stealth as their form of engagement, where Exhaust would be unable to hit them before damage is applied. Champions that it would be useful against are Shaco, Akali, Xerath, Kha'Zix, Twitch or Lux. Note that Pyke's Death from Below and Urgot's Fear Beyond Death excute won't be blocked when activating Barrier in combat with them.
Your goto spell for dodgingcrowd control effects applied to you ( Lux's Light Binding, Morgana's Dark Binding/ Soul Shackles, Leona's Shield of Daybreak/ Zenith Blade/ Solar Flare, or Ashe's Enchanted Crystal Arrow), along with gaining protection from future disabling effects and increased tenacity for a few seconds. Removes Ignite, Exhaust, Smite & grounded effects while being ineffective againstcrowd control effects such as suppression, nearsightedness, stasis or airborne. These can include: Poppy's Keeper's Verdict, Bard's Tempered Fate and Nocturne's Paranoia. If you're affected by damage over time, attack speed reduction, armor shredding or grievous wound effects, Cleanse will not remove them. Note that activating Cleanse before being hit by animmobilizing effect won't save you.
Effective for Miss Fortune when looking to slow down and reduce the damage you could take from a threatening foe ( Draven, Katarina, Master Yi, Zed or LeBlanc) in combat. It is also handy when fleeing combat or reducing damage over time spells cast upon you. Note that with Exhaust you can't reduce the true damage dealt from abilities such as Darius's Noxian Guillotine, Garen's Demacian Justice or Camille's Precision Protocol recast.
Ghost provides strong engage and disengage potential for Miss Fortune. It shares a similar effect with Youmuu's Ghostblade, allowing you to dash through allied minions or monsters in a pinch, making it easier to chase enemy champions or escape bad situations. It also helps increase kiting potential (while active) when looking to dodge important skill shots from enemies such as Lux, Xerath, Zyra, or Zilean.
An effective spell for Miss Fortune, providing healing and a small movement speed bonus. An excellent choice for Miss Fortune that can give you that little boost needed to escape skill shots or get you and a teammate out of a jam. The downside is that subsequent Heal activations within a short window are less effective, so refrain from taking it should your support choose this instead. If you both have it, coordinate them appropriately for the best results. |
Stealth Ward
Stealth Ward is your main trinket in all games as Miss Fortune, revealing units within a target location. With the ability to place a max of three Stealth Wards on the map at any given time, you can create sightlines on essential regions of the map. It is helpful when setting up vision while split pushing or when establishing deep vision in enemy territory or objectives ( Baron Nashor & dragons).
Farsight Alteration
Farsight Alteration (available at level 9) is picked in 99.5% of games as Miss Fortune and helps when looking to split push or getting vision on objectives or other regions of the rift from a safe distance to prevent you from having to walk up to bushes and spot enemy flanks. Similar to Stealth Wards, it helps create vision in critical areas, but unlike Stealth Wards, it's visible to the enemy and fragile, meaning they will die the instant they are spotted.
Oracle Lens
Control Wards
Control Wards help to deal with camouflage-based champions such as Twitch, Rengar, Senna and Evelynn when they approach them. However champions with invisibility effects, such as Akali, Talon, Kha'Zix, Shaco, Vayne, Wukong, and Teemo, won't be revealed when approaching a Control Ward. Always consider buying Control Wards to remove enemy vision (traps or wards) from the map; therefore, do your best to acquire one or two if you have spare gold. |

Berserker's Greaves are the default selection in most games when playing Miss Fortune. They provide valuable attack speed needed to trade efficiently in each matchup and grant consistent damage against objectives such as turrets/ baron nashor or dragons.
Zephyr provides increased attack Speed and extraon-hit mobility that helps to improve your kiting potential in combat.
Excellent on Miss Fortune when dealing with slowing effects applied to you in combat. They can vary from sources such as Ashe's Frost Shot/ Volley/ Serylda's Grudge/ Rylai's Crystal Scepter, or other movement impairing effects/abilities that would leave you vulnerable and make it hard for you to escape combat.
Consider Mercury's Treads against manycrowd control effects that could impair your survivability should you not be able to bring Cleanse. I recommend these Boots for their tenacity & magic resistance should the need arise. Great into teams with heavy magic damage threats.
When facing champions that rely on dealing damage through auto attacks, it's advisable to choose Plated Steelcaps for Miss Fortune. An excellent option when looking to reduce damage taken from auto attacks during combat or when against teams who heavily stack physical damage.
While Mercury's Treads and Plated Steelcaps aren't selected often on Miss Fortune compared to Berserker's Greaves & Boots of Swiftness, that doesn't mean they can't provide valuable resistances during fights or skirmishes. Consider your opponent(s) before making your selection.
Going the "no Boots" build path (using Zeal or other % movement speed item replacements) along with your Strut passive to move about the map is viable. Still, when you are low and trying to escape, it will be much harder without Boots than having them. So, if you take the "no Boots" route, ensure sound positioning for the best results.
-Critical Strike: Geared towards a heavy auto attack/on-hit playstyle with improved critical strike damage on Double Up and Bullet Time. It scales nicely into the late game.
-Lethality: Improves your overall damage against targets with your abilities, while also shredding the armor of squishier targets and tanks.
Works incredibly well when stacking otheron-hit effects against your targets.
Helpful when facing champions such as Caitlyn, Ashe, Xayah, or Draven.
Also strong when paired with otheron-hit/on-attack item effects.
While it may not provide the same level of armor penetration as other options ( Lord Dominik's Regards, Mortal Reminder, and Serylda's Grudge), it's still an efficient choice to consider. Great into champions who possess high armor ratings, such as Rammus, or Malphite.
Note that Nocturne's Paranoia will consume the spell shield, so be careful when entering into a team fight.
Will not affect champions who possess magic damage shields from sources such as Kaenic Rookern, Maw of Malmortius or Galio's Shield of Durand.
You can take this into Veigar also, but after awhile the shield will not be able to withstand the amount of damage he can deal with sufficient Phenomenal Evil Power stacks, therefore it might be wise when dealing with him to invest in another defensive option ( Guardian Angel).
However, due to its long active cooldown, careful ability blocking is paramount.
- Dark Harvest is an excellent keystone option for Miss Fortune that deals additional damage to low-health targets, when hit by any of your attacks/abilities, increasing in effectiveness based on the number of souls acquired. As you gain more stacks, your execution threshold increases (further increased with The Collector). It's also a great option when playing lethality on Miss Fortune. - First Strike is an excellent keystone option for Miss Fortune, providing extra gold upon damaging an enemy champion. Additional gold can be obtained (equal to the amount of damage you deal with abilities and auto attacks) once you trigger First Strike on the enemy. A helpful keystone that pairs nicely with Cash Back when looking to ramp into your much-needed core items. With the initial 15 gold, hitting a single Double Up or even Make it Rain (if you have a lot of mana) can be huge early. - Press the Attack is the most efficient keystone for Miss Fortune since it works well into most matchups and triggers after auto-attacking three times or performing an auto- Double Up-auto combo. Upon triggering the effect, your target will take more damage from all your spells and auto attacks. Excellent when paired with crowd control supports such as Leona, Thresh, Rell, Nautilus, Amumu, or Braum. - Conqueror grants extra damage for Miss Fortune (per auto or ability used) in combat, gaining an extra boost during trades and duels with the enemy. So while we may not trigger the keystone's healing effect, it's still a viable option to consider. - Arcane Comet is a strong keystone choice for Miss Fortune when looking to poke down the enemy at a distance. Very good into poke champions such as ( Ezreal, Lux, Zyra & Xerath), and also effective to chip away at lane opponents who don't possess sufficient healing or shielding in their kits. Another solid option when playing lethality with Miss Fortune. |
- Selecting Cheap Shot for Miss Fortune is excellent in fights, dealing additional true damage on a target recently affected by crowd control effects (not including suppression or airborne). While the true damage values aren't stellar, you can still make the most of the rune. A great choice alongside champions such as Leona, Morgana, Lux, Nautilus & Amumu. - Taste of Blood provides a small amount of healing to Miss Fortune upon damaging a target with either auto attacks or abilities in combat. While the scaling is low, it does help out Miss Fortune recover health during trades or upon dealing poke damage to the enemy. - When looking for more potency in fights, consider Eyeball Collection. It is helpful when looking for increased damage potential with your autos and abilities, thus giving you more threat presence in team fights and skirmishes. It's an excellent rune choice for any matchup when you run the Domination tree. - Treasure Hunter on Miss Fortune is an excellent way to gain extra gold per unique takedown and accelerates your build to acquire your core items faster. It is best in games where you can quickly snowball your opponent. - Ultimate Hunter grants Miss Fortune ability haste towards Bullet Time's cooldown, giving you more chances to dominate in team fights. Very strong when combined with items or runes that offer additional ability haste. |
- Magical Footwear allows Miss Fortune to delay buying Boots to focus on getting your legendary and core items sooner. Once added, you gain extra movement speed in your current pair of Boots purchased. Takedowns will speed up the acquisition process by a small margin. - Cash Back is an excellent ramping rune for Miss Fortune, allowing her to reach her core items spikes ( The Collector, Infinity Edge, Youmuu's Ghostblade or Bloodthirster) much sooner. Biscuit Delivery is essential for extra sustain after trades and skirmishes, granting more max health per biscuit (max 3). It's a must-have Inspiration rune for Miss Fortune in most of her challenging matchups. - Cosmic Insight is an excellent rune option to consider for Miss Fortune as it provides more access to summoner spells ( Flash, Heal), active/passive item effects ( Youmuu's Ghostblade, Edge of Night, Guardian Angel), and increased ward trinket usage for increasing vision on the rift. |
- Triumph provides Miss Fortune with additional sustain and income generation when eliminating enemies after duels and skirmishes. It's an excellent option for more uptime in combat and the ability to snowball your lane due to your increased gold advantage. - Presence of Mind helps Miss Fortune by increasing mana regeneration as you hit enemies with auto attacks or abilities, ensuring a healthy mana pool before team fighting with the enemy. - With Legend: Alacrity on Miss Fortune, you'll have more trading power, thus increasing the damage you deal in fights. You'll also have better success farming minions or taking objectives faster. - Legend: Bloodline can help Miss Fortune when up against opponents who rely on poke spells such as Ezreal, Lux, and Soraka. Although the life steal from this rune may have a lower value when compared to other options, it is still a reliable source of healing. - An excellent rune option for Miss Fortune improving our damage against low health targets, making it easier to eliminate them in combat. A strong rune choice in both lethality or crit builds for team fights & duels. - With Cut Down, Miss Fortune deals increased damage to targets above 60% max health. It's a solid rune option early on, while being very effective during late-game team fights, improving dueling significantly. |
- Conditioning helps Miss Fortune by providing some added durability in combat. Excellent into
Assassin
matchups ( Akali, Kha'Zix, Rengar, Master Yi) or other champions that make it hard for you to survive during fights and duels. - Bone Plating is a solid defensive option for Miss Fortune, providing damage reduction from incoming attacks & abilities. It can be massive during team fights, such as Miss Fortune, potentially saving you from certain death and leaving the fight alive. Consider Bone Plating into matchups that consist of Assassin or other heavy burst comps. - Overgrowth is a safe option for Miss Fortune when selecting Resolve as our secondary. It provides an additional layer of durability and gains extra max health from monster/ minion deaths. While the health gained is small, it builds up nicely throughout the game and is a viable option in duels and skirmishes. I wouldn't recommend this rune when fighting champions who have % health damaging abilities ( Shyvana Flame Breath, Fiora Duelist's Dance, Ornn Bellows Breath, Amumu Despair, Kog'Maw Bio-Arcane Barrage) or build items such as Blade of the Ruined King and Liandry's Torment. - As Miss Fortune, choosing Revitalize is a strong option because it works well with shields and healing from sources such as Legend: Bloodline, Doran's Blade, Bloodthirster, Blade of the Ruined King and the Elixir of Wrath, increasing their effectiveness in combat. Additionally, you will receive increased shielding from the Mountain Dragon soul. |
- Manaflow Band is a great choice for Miss Fortune when you need extra mana (it synergizes well with Manamune/ Muramana) and provides increased mana regeneration. It holds immense value for Miss Fortune and can be a staple pick in any matchup. - Transcendence provides Miss Fortune with more ability haste during fights, thus increasing your damage per second to enemies and objectives. This is excellent for poke matchups ( Lux/ Ezreal or Sivir/ Zyra) in which you can attack from a safe distance with your abilities. - Celerity is a more underrated pickup on Miss Fortune when compared to other more common choices in the Sorcery tree, such as Absolute Focus or Manaflow Band. With the added mobility, you'll have faster rotation speeds to fights or objectives from anywhere on the map. Improves the effectiveness of Strut, cloud dragon soul, and any items ( Youmuu's Ghostblade, Opportunity, Kraken Slayer) or summoner spells ( Ghost/ Heal) that contain mobility bonuses. - Absolute Focus increases Miss Fortune's all-around pressure in fights and duels, so long as you have sustained healing from Bloodthirster, Blade of the Ruined King or other healing sources to maintain the required threshold for the bonus damage—scales nicely with Love Tap providing more burst with each auto attack and Double Up bounce. - Gathering Storm enhances our damage output from autos and abilities against targets and continues to increase indefinitely. When paired alongside Dark Harvest, it provides additional burst damage against targets. |
