Riot, make ahri less safe early

Luxxum·Aug 31, 2015·2 votes·628 views

As someone who has played a bit ahri, she needs to be less safe early. I'm fine with her having a speed-up, but she needs the speedup to scale into late game, so her early laning isn't so safe, but it would be better later. Perhaps put the speedup on her w. It's a filler ability as-is, and that would give a better reason for leveling it. Kite mage is a great thematic niche for her, but it really leads to a boring lane, both for her and her opponent. Late game, a hyper - mobile mage would be fun, but it shouldn't be allowed until at least 6.

My idea is to let her get a speedup if she lands charm instead of mindlessly throwing Q whenever she's in a bad spot.

Honestly this isn't bad, but it will be a buff to her late game. Thank you for not just making a ridiculous suggestion mate, well played =] Too many champs are safe early atm. They have atleast 1, probably more for each role I think lol. The problem with it is, they have no down side to their safety, whether they're manaless, or the have silly mobility.. or hard to duel early.

However, Ahri is strongest as an early game dominant champ and does fall off compared to others in the lategame. All of her counters are extremely mid-late dominant, but if she got stronger in the lategame it'd confuse things more. Her counters wouldn't outscale her as hard, even when they're behind they outscale her.

But if she got power shifted into the late, she'd be harder to balance because her counters would outscale her less hard.
