I don't suppose any one else is upset with this as much as I am. In fact, I'm completely heart broken.

She may as well be a rock in the road, now. Why not just add a few balls and chains to weigh her down more?

Ahri takes so much perfect perception and timing. In return favoring you the possibility to not just go in to die. Now? Here, we buffed your stuffed but removed your ability to evade incoming attacks. HAVE FUN.

NOT LIKE YOU NEED AN AOE SELF DEFENSE FORM OF PROTECTION WITH CC/ATTACK THAT YOU CAN HIT A TARGET WITH BY CLICKING ON THEM OR THAT CAN GO RIGHT THROUGH MINIONS .

AND THEN THERE'S JUST Q and E only goes in one direction. Only Q can go through minions/monsters. You can't target them at any one or pick an AOE location. W just pray and sprays where ever it wants to. R is just a copy of W with a wall hop distance x3 which can only be done WHEN ULTING. SO YEAH LETS JUST REMOVE "Not So Fast" FROM AHRI!

Great game.

RIP Ahri December 14th, 2011 - April 18th, 2018. "Speed of light? No problem."

Meanwhile all the people that actually play her agree it is a big buff.

Dont see anyone saying that? Her WR went down by 1~2%.

That's because it's a pretty big change, and people still need to get used to it.

Because a bunch of bads are trying out the rework.

It happens for any rework and is usually a lot bigger.

What? She feels amazing again. Even better than she used to be when she had the charm amp before. Basically got my old Ahri back but added a ms passive. I'm loving it. [sg-kiko]

They added a nerfed version of the ms passive she already had with Q.

She has more damage now due to amplification on her charm.

Before season 5, she was this way. She didn't need the MS on Q back then. Now, she still gets 20% MS if she hits 2 abilities (both sides of Q alone will activate her passive), which means she still has some MS for an escape. So she's safer than early season 5, but has the damage back. That sounds good to me, as a long-term Ahri player.

My play style was based completely around Not So Fast. That's why its hurting me now.

She's fantastic (2million Ahri otp Diamond) I'm able to carry so easely again, just made it back into d4 with 70% wr since her rework*[sg-ahri-2]* A good ahri knows also, that using charm as a combo start, is only the case in early game, this finally allows her to be able 1v1 most match ups again, which she couldn't do before because of all the dmg nerfs. Mid/late game it doesn't matter most of the time if u start with charm or not on adc's supports

But how? I mean the Q ms buff shouldn't have affected ahri mains that much, because of the cast animation. Every time u used Q u stucked for a very slight moment on that spot, i rarely managed to dodge skills by using Q, mostly of the time i got that "luck moment" when i and enemy casted both our skills at once, and i could dodge while he couldn't. Anyways, i mean even if u die now, or get not as fed as before u basically have like a 100cs advantage at like 25min or so compared to the old Ahri for free, (that's how she feels to me tbh). And the new passive is pretty good aswell for teamfights.

Also in the end i'm not here to say you suck because you have a different opinion. Everyone has the right to have his own opinion, and the changes might hurt you, like u said, but most ahri mains just wanted changes in her kit, and riot had to react sooner or later^^ Hopefully you can recover from this and that you will like her a bit more sooner or later [sg-ahri-2]

Q was great for fleeing. I used it well. Or even getting around minions. Its too late though. I already refunded her and picked something else out. There's no way I can play her any more. Not in the way I do.

the hell?

Danni ChimesApr 22, 20181 votes

Yea she's boss actually! The lack of boost from Q takes some getting used to, she definitely 'feels' very sluggish lol, but it just takes some getting used to.

BroLaneApr 22, 20181 votes

They made her less safe to play while rewarding her more for landing skill shots. Most changes that make a champ more skill expressive are good ones.
