Miss Fortune vs Lucian Counter Pick

Lucian is the stronger duellist inside 500 units and the weaker one outside them, and that is most of the matchup. Miss Fortune attacks from 550 and posts 52.7% across 3,469 games on patch 16.13.1.

His pressure comes from Lightslinger, which turns the attack after every ability into a double shot, and from Relentless Pursuit, a short dash whose cooldown falls each time those double shots connect. Chaining Piercing Light into an empowered attack is a genuine burst window, supported by 60 base attack damage against her 55, 641 base health against 625 and 335 movement speed against 325.

What he does not have is a way to threaten from the distance she actually stands at. Double Up reaches a second target behind the first, Make It Rain slows and reveals an area from range, and Love Tap pays out for hitting someone new, so poking the support and then the marksman is rewarded rather than wasted. Her difficulty rating of 1 against his 6 matters in practice too, because her sequence works when executed slowly while his depends on ordering abilities and attacks correctly under pressure.

Health totals stay close through the game, 2,341 against 2,325 at level 18, so no durability advantage compensates for the 50 units of missing reach. Refusing the short trade and attacking only at maximum distance removes most of what he is good at. Kit: Lucian.
