"Varus is nothing like MF?

AoE slow, heal debuff, free magic damage onhit, and both are in general lane bullies good at denying their enemies farm and getting early game advantages. I think Varus does a better job of this however."

It's easy to compare them until you actually look closer. The heal debuff is only inside the descrated ground while Miss Fortunes is onto anyone she attacks with her W active, that makes Miss Fortune's a lot more useful. Miss Fortune's damage on hit is immediate, and doesn't need to be triggered by a spell, of which you could miss and lose the damage all-together. I am not scared of Varus in lane, he is not that much of a bully, his skillshot is pretty much his bullying, dodge it and he is not a threat. Miss Fortune is different, she is actually sort of scary early game, because her heal debuff isn't limited to a tiny area, which can be walked out of and healed thereafter.

AoE slow is a true similarity. The rest can be made to look the same, until you actual take a look at their skills.
