Hey Jovy, here's your "official review." I really like this guide and its visuals, so don't be too put off by the amount of criticism below. Chances are if I didn't mention something, I thought it was either fine or great.

Build

As far as I know, B. F. Sword is the preferable buy over double Doran's Blade. D Blades are good early items if you can't afford the 1300g BF Sword. I feel like you could make an argument for double Doran's over Caulfield's Warhammer since they're close in price, but I don't think I'd skip BF if I could afford it. (after getting to the items section, it seems you agree, so I think the cheatsheet Note just needs some clarification)
I'd consider shortening your core to just ER, boots and IE. Rapid Firecannon is a strong standard item on MF but not a mandatory buy. You could totally buy Phantom Dancer in its place if necessary. Maybe you could have a "choose one" kind of thing with the two Zeal items after your core items and before things get situational.
No Lord Dominik's Regards for a situational item? Maw of Malmortius should also be included as an option. Maybe Edge of Night too since I've seen that a few times.
I think the matchups could use some work. Some like Janna sound like awful counters, but then you just kinda say "outside of that it's fine". Noting champions that can interrupt your ult is definitely useful, but maybe's more you could include in these matchups. Some brief advice about how to play against them would be useful.
Kinda strange that you don't use the Synergies tool (you have them in the guide instead), but you do use the Threats tools. I would have expected the other way around tbh, since you can quickly get across how two champions do or don't synergize, but it's harder to thoroughly break down a matchup in a small space. I think ultimately, utilizing both spaces (the cheatsheet and the guide) for both topics might be the best solution. You can give very brief summaries of matchups/synergies in the cheatsheet and then break down how to play with/against them in the guide proper.

Presentation

The graphics and color scheme on this guide are pretty clean. I like the easily readable font on the graphics too.
"on whom I have the highest mastery on." -> "on whom I have the highest mastery."
Your Pros & Cons have some inconsistent capitalization. Either capitalize them all like titles or go with just the first letter (and abbreviations like AoE ofc). I'd also change "Mov Speed" to "Move Speed." You could consider dropping "due to Strut" since that's explained in the description and the important thing is that she's fast.
I'd change "No gap closers" to "No dashes." Even in the description for that con, you use the term "gap closer" to mean defensive tools.
Might just be me, but the indentation of the main rune page feels kinda large and a bit random.
"7% more dmaage" -> "7% more damage"
The secondary rune icons could be switched from the Sorcery/Inspiration icons to the actual runes you're talking about. This isn't necessarily objectively better so it's up to you, just something to consider.
It's kinda awkward that Love Tap doesn't have a tooltip anywhere in the abilities section. Probably just add brackets to the first time it comes up. You could also rephrase the first sentence to start with Love Tap if you want it to match the other abilities.
"only use them when you're almost positive that the Q bounce will hit your primary target." -> "only use them when you're almost positive that the Q bounce will hit your intended target." (this would probably clear up the point you make in the next paragraph as well)
"you'll be able to quickly and fluently swap between targets" | I feel like you mean "fluidly."
Unfortunately I think it might be too hard to parse the image for Make it Rain. I only see the AoE indicator because I know what to look for. A new player is probably just going to see the bush.
"silances" -> "silences"
"and etc." -> "etc."
Gifs of each ability in action (during an actual laning phase vs real people) would be a great addition to the Abilities section.
"Maxing E will allow you to be more self-reliant" -> "Maxing E second will allow you to be more self-reliant" (unless you're telling people they can max it first)
You have some inconsistencies with when you use tooltips for items and stuff. Executioner's Calling gets a tooltip in your items section, but Quicksilver Sash and Stopwatch don't.
Just like my own guide currently, your gameplay chapters could use more supporting visuals if you can add them. The topics are organized well, but people are way more eager to consume theory content when they can see some nicely edited screenshots or example gifs that demonstrate the concepts they're learning about. This is the biggest area for potential improvement in the presentation of your guide, since the existing stuff is already functional enough.
"Enemies will be vary of standing behind low health minions" -> "Enemies will be wary of standing behind low health minions"
The sarcastic bits in the gameplay sections come off very deadpan and are pretty hilarious.
"You also have your Flash, your only gap closer, for when things are really difficult." | Like I stated earlier, you might want to call this a dash/blink rather than a gap closer if you're going to use it defensively.

Content

Triumph and Legend: Alacrity are described in the guide but you take Overheal and Legend: Bloodline. D: This area could use some updates for clarity.
Cut Down is viable against teams with 4-5 high health enemies. Coup de Grace is definitely still a good standard, but it's a small optimization you can make based on the game.
"Nimbus Cloak is a logical choice for someone as speedy as Miss Fortune" | This isn't really an adequate explanation. The rune has little to do with Strut and more to do with ADCs using the rune to reposition and kite more effectively. It's an equally common rune on other ADCs who don't have innate movement speed buffs.
Absolute Focus is arguably an option over Gathering Storm here for games that aren't going to go to 30+ minutes, but I'd understand if most people reading this guide don't really need to make that optimization.
I'm a bit unsure about the lack of summoner spell options. On the one hand, Heal will suffice for like 95% of games for people reading this guide. On the other hand, other summoner spells like Cleanse, Barrier and Exhaust are definitely viable situationally, based on your support and the enemy team comp. I think it might be justifiable to keep Heal as the main feature but cover the other summoner spell options in case people need to adapt (especially if their support has Heal).
The first paragraph of Love Tap could be improved imo. Instead of focusing on the fact that it's possible to proc your passive, you could instead point out that Miss Fortune excels in short trades relative to other ADCs. It would also be useful to state that Double Up procs this passive as well, so you can get a lot of free damage by bouncing Q off ranged minions and proc your passive without taking any damage in return.
"Miss Fortune gains movement speed out of combat." | This isn't technically accurate. She gains movement speed after not taking damage for a few seconds, but she can still enter combat and keep her MS as long as she doesn't get hit.
I don't know if it's accurate to say that Make it Rain's slow isn't very strong until it's maxed. 40% slow is pretty strong for a rank 1 ability. You could also mention it's a good tool for setting up allied skillshots (you can use it to make your support's Rocket Grab / Dark Binding / Pillar of Flame easier to land).
It's probably worth specifically telling people that right-clicking to move will cancel your R.
"This will give you a plethora of stats although on the whole you will have a slight bit less amount of AD than if you went with B.F." | Actually it's quite a sizable difference (40 to 16). Regardless, the tradeoff is more "power now, but your build's a bit delayed."
I'd argue that Ninja Tabi and Boots of Swiftness are viable alternatives to Berserker's Greaves in some situations. If you're against a Trundle and Glacial Augment Veigar, you'd probably want the swifties over the extra DPS from zerker's. Likewise, fed Talon / Nocturne / Zed = Ninja Tabi + Phantom Dancer so you don't instantly die when they touch you.
Saying PD is good vs mixed damage is kind of random/irrelevant. It's useful vs burst damage, which usually comes from either an assassin or burst mage. While Bloodthirster can keep you topped off in slower fights, PD keeps you from getting blown up before you can do anything. The only time damage composition is relevant for this item is that it conflicts with Hexdrinker / Maw of Malmortius (meaning it's not as ideal if your only threat is magic).
I mentioned this earlier, but Lord Dominik's Regards should be here. You even mention Mortal Reminder is anti-healing (which is true), so the more standard armor pen choice should be LDR.
Interesting that you mention Quicksilver Sash removing hooks, since it only sorta does. You can QSS + Flash to break knockbacks, but if you just use QSS you'll still be getting knocked/pulled. The only exception that comes to mind is Thresh's Q, since it sticks to you a lot longer than other hooks and can be removed more like a stun.
To be blunt, your Wave Control section is too simplistic and doesn't really do justice to the topic. There are more benefits to pushing the wave than just denying your enemies farm when they're recalled/dead and you also don't distinguish between slow pushes and fast pushes, which have drastically different effects. While this topic is really challenging to tackle, I think if you want to do it justice, you'll need to redo this section (and it'll probably have to be a lot bigger by the end). This is probably the biggest content issue with your guide right now. On the plus side, if you fully master this chapter, like 99% of League players don't understand wave control, so your guide will be useful for pretty much everyone below D2.
"If they're smart though, they'll stand back and try to get a few last hits from a safe distance, and wait until they are level 2" | The lvl 1 laners shouldn't get any last-hits while they're down a level. It'd be more accurate to say if they're smart, they'll stay in XP range until they're level 2. There should be no safe last-hits if you're abusing your lvl 2 spike properly (aside from maybe Ezreal Q).
"Although ADC do not roam necessarily, you will need to join skirmishes in the River area and help out with Dragon." | Slight grammatical issue here (ADC is singular), but I actually think this sentence needs rewriting in general. ADCs can definitely roam (especially MF with her speed) with their support if you've crashed the wave to the enemy tower. Rotating for skirmishes can also trump last-hitting of course.
"Losing lane is not a very big deal and in fact it's what's expected from you as a Marksman." | I thought this was tongue-in-cheek but there's no later indication that you were kidding. I don't think MF is expected to lose most lanes. It's still okay if you do, but I wouldn't say it's expected. One of the bot lanes is going to be ahead of the other after all, so it's not like Marksmen always lose lane.
While freezing bottom after losing lane is definitely a viable strat, it's not the only option. If you have your ult, you can probably still contribute to fights well enough if other teammates are strong enough to contest dragon. Depending on who your mid laner is, you may want to swap with them and farm mid instead of bot. A lot of mid laners like Zed and Fizz need to go to a side lane after the early game so they can pressure the map and flank. If your mid laner is someone like Qiyana or Kassadin with weak waveclear, they also won't be able to defend the mid turret while you can, so that's another reason to switch.
On the same topic, the "Farming After Laning Phase" spoiler is a little overly simplistic as well. If you as the ADC are constantly farming bottom in the mid and late game, your team won't be able to gain objective control. The safest option is to go mid to ensure you can get to either objective in time to fight / DPS it, but in the cases where your mid laner is a champ like Heimerdinger who doesn't want to ever go side lane, you'll catch either the top or bot wave while your top laner takes the other side lane. You should try to be close to objectives as an ADC since you're usually needed to team fight and to DPS stuff like Baron, while your top and sometimes mid laner can take the remote farm and join potential fights with Teleport. Overall I'd say mid lane is the safest place to be, otherwise just catch waves that push into your side lanes and push them back out, then regroup mid with your control mage if they're staying mid. You can use the numbers advantage to pressure the tower or get vision control while the enemy team needs to send someone to collect the wave that you pushed in.
The sections about objectives and team fights could be expanded at some point, though since the info is pretty straightforward and none of it is incorrect, I think these sections take lower priority compared to everything else.

This guide definitely seems aimed towards newer players, as you do a good job of introducing concepts that some authors take for granted and cover the basics of items and champions in case the reader isn't familiar with them. Some of the more advanced concepts in the gameplay sections are definitely welcome as well, since they're more likely to help players that are already familiar with the game and the champion. I think if you want higher ranked players (Gold/Plat) to get more out of this, you'll need to add in more detail on a few things. Build optimizations are nice to include when available, but the main thing I can think of would be expanding the matchups into its own full chapter of the guide and help readers understand how to crush their lane opponents and work with their supports. MF isn't too hard to play outside laning phase, but mastering the 2v2 (and occasional 2v5 :P) is what those mid-range players could really improve.

This review ended up being a bit longer than I expected and I had a lot of criticism to give, but overall I'd still say this is the best MF guide currently and other than a couple easily fixable hiccups, it's a perfectly usable resource for people to get started with the champion. Hopefully after you're done dealing with the nitpicks and maybe expand / improve a few sections, it'll be even more exceptional.

Hope you find this review helpful. If you want to discuss any points in depth, feel free to PM me on Discord. Good luck with your guide!

Thanks for your time Joe, lots of helpful comments here :) To address a few points...:

(1495) |

Fair enough @ most of those points. I'll reply to a few.

Build:

1. Yeah just tweak the Note then.

3. I think LDR and Maw are both really necessary in some games. The PD shield is comparable to Maw, but you'd still be taking true damage from any mage with flat pen. Edge of Night can be skipped entirely if you think it's not worth buying.

Content:

Limiting the scope of the guide to more newer players is a fair decision. My only concern is that some of the simplified explanations can end up being misleading (e.g. in the guide it sounds like Freezing is pretty much strictly superior for winning lane, which isn't really true). Maybe I can come up with some more specific changes without making the content really complex. Let me know.

7. This is a relevant distinction both when last-hitting in lane and playing team fights, since in both cases you can often auto freely without being hit. If worked while not taking damage instead of being out-of-combat only, they'd be broken.

10. In one situation you have your starting + a and in the other you have 3 blades. I just removed the common D Blade from both builds when talking numbers. Unless you're comparing BF to a total of 4 Doran's Blades, then it'd be 24 to 40.

20. You can probably just say to only give up farm to help the jungler in bot river / bot jg. Otherwise, don't give up CS to roam (push to tower first). The minutia of exactly when and how to roam is really difficult to teach, but I think the general conditions for roaming are simple enough.
