Piggybacking off the top comment to point out that the outfit change is probably an unintended consequence of fixing the poor editing of the ropes around MF's hand.

The most likely explanation is that the current MF splash was the original. It was later revised into the one with the covered midriff and messed up ropes. Since the ropes issue was pointed out to them last patch, they probably just reverted the image without noticing the outfit difference. Please don't be outraged about MF being sexualized. If anything, this points to Riot preferring the covered midriff look.

/u/FAE_BLADET_WIRLER is correct here. What you guys are seeing in game right now is a mistake which we will be fixing this as soon as we can.

The above image is what she originally looked like before we decided to update her. We were looking to match her depiction in League as closely as possible, but after seeing the design in-game we felt it just didn't match the character we know she has the potential to be. From there we worked with a few other Riot teams who have released content featuring Miss Fortune to evolve her design closer to those pieces of content.

The change that caused this issue was intended to fix the rope layer so it correctly aligned with her hand as a few people have pointed out over the previous weeks, but in doing so we implemented the outdated version. I apologize for the mistake here and we will get this fixed soon.
