5.2 Ahri Feedback

tl;dr: Combat mobility is fine, but Ahri does not need a 50%+ uptime out of combat speed boost that is only limited by mana.

  • At 40% CDR, Orb of Deception's cooldown is 4.2 sec.
  • In most cases, the speed buff will last at least 2 seconds.
  • The higher your movement speed, the longer the travel time and the longer the buff lasts.
  • It currently does not require any opponents in the vicinity to proc so it can be used to quickly roam around the map.
  • It's an unnecessary buff to her laning phase.
  • Combined with the Foxfire changes, the speed buff makes her W a much more reliable source of damage than before.

The in-combat mobility of Spirit Rush + Orb is amazingly fun to play with. Randomly throwing Orbs in the jungle for movement speed is silly.

Suggestions:

  • Requiring Ahri to throw her Orb towards an enemy / having an enemy in the vicinity for the speed buff to proc.
  • Making the speed buff only available post-6 by making it a secondary passive on Spirit Rush.

Either way, that's my theory behind her win rate spiking to 57%+.

Good thing Fizz took her 20% additional damage right? I still hate her W even if it does more damage. Nothing like needing it to target a champion and having it target a minion instead.

Yeah but no she does no damage now. The movement speed on her q gave her the ability to kite. Without it she'd be useless. Her damage is literally nothing now. She doesnt have range or cc so she needs the mobility to kite.

Using q the way the op describes and how riot intends Ahri to be used, should some of these mana costs come down? To do Leblanc's full combo it costs 270 mana to do about 2500 damage. Ahri is doing about 1900 now, but To do Ahri's full combo costs 310 mana. Ahri's mana costs should be reduced so that a full rotation would cost 230 mana

remove it all, give her the charm amplification back, and buff her ult damage by 5 (base and scaling per charge)%

wow, i fixed ahri post DFG!

idk why they had to be so extreme about her changes. its just an item.

And yet we have people ranting and raving that the speed boost is useless and they should instead just give her lots of raw "damag3z"!
