    I’m sorry but this is just wrong. From PHB 2014:

    You create three glowing darts of magical force. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its target.

    Each dart deals 1d4 + 1 damage and there are 3 darts, so 3d4 +3 damage.

      Nope, here is RAW:

      Magic Missile:

      You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its target. The darts all strike simultaneously, and you can direct them to hit one creature or several.

      And “Damage Rolls,” PHB, 196:

      If a spell or other effect deals damage to more than one target at the same time, roll the damage once for all of them. For example, when a wizard casts fireball or a cleric casts flame strike, the spell’s damage is rolled once for all creatures caught in the blast.

      I mean, they even provided a link to sage advice where Crawford answers that specific question.
