Sighs... Last Whisper and Black Cleaver have different functions, and they work different with Miss Fortune, you can't generalize it and label them at will.

"Even more: If you're building this during mid-late game you'll probably only have your Bloodthirster or Infinity Edge and perhaps your 2nd Tier Boots. if you're going to build the other two, you'll get to far behind, in my opinion."

My opinion is that you need to understand the game mechanics better - Miss Fortune can work as an AA carry but that doesn't mean LW/BC/BT won't work on her. The fact that Bullet Time is now Physical Damage and the reworked Black Cleaver applies on every wave makes it extremely lethal, and Last Whisper only adds more power to that punch.

Let me enlighten you on a particular matter; Bullet Time with the Last Whisper + Black Cleaver combo deals almost the same damage on a 100 Armor enemy as 2 fully stacked Bloodthirsters. Shocking?

Bullet Time takes 35% of your Bonus attack damage to factor in. 2 BTs give you 200 AD. BC/LW gives you 90. That's a 110 AD difference, right? No, not really. The problem with low ELO players is that they only look at the numbers on the surface and forget about the rest.

At rank 1, Bullet Time deals 65 + 35% of your bonus AD

200 bonus AD = 70 extra damage per Bullet Time wave

90 bonus AD = 31.5 extra damage per Bullet Time wave

100 Armor = 50% physical damage reduction

Case 1 (BT/BT): 135 per wave pre-mitigation

135 - 50% (67.5) = 68 (rounded up) per wave

Case 2 (BC/LW): 96.5 per wave pre-mitigation

96.5 - 35% (33.775) = 63 (rounded up) per wave.

You lose 5 damage on your initial wave. This marging closes in per wave since Black Cleaver shreds the armor of your enemies.

You lose 42 damage on auto attack, 5 on Bullet Time's 1st wave, and 28 on Double Up straight out, assuming you can keep both BT fully stacked; decrease everything by 30% if we are talking about standard BTs. The difference is a BC/LW combo benefits your team in a way BT/BT can't.

Also, any build that includes Infinity Edge without Phantom Dancer OR Statik Shiv is a waste of gold. Straight up. Critical chance is the most expensive stat for a Marksman and without lots of it, IE just becomes a large AD boost.

Next time, try Black Cleaver, Last Whisper, Bloodthirster, Mercurial Scimitar, Zephyr, and Boots. All the AS you'll need, a defensive item, and the ability to clean up like an assassin with so much pen and CDR.

Miss Fortune can be built in different ways and make them all optimal with the right play style. She is, unlike Kog'Maw and Tristana, free to depart from the straight DPS build and deviate into a more spell-casting oriente style. Ever wondered why Genja likes her so much?
