Compensation for Ahri apparently means nerfs.

Orb of Deception (Q)

  • Ahri gains a massive movement speed boost (215-80 MS) while her orb is traveling (over 1-2 seconds) that rapidly decays over time.
  • Mana cost increased by 10 at each rank.

Fox-Fire (W)

  • Fox-Fire's rotation speed has been increased by ~30%.
  • Projectile range reduced by 100 units (650 -> 550).
  • QoL Improvements:
  • Fox-Fire's targeting system will now attempt to acquire a new target if the original target is going to die from other Fox-Fires.
  • Casting Fox-Fire no longer interferes with Ahri's basic attack animation.
  • Slightly reduced the time between spell cast and the missile firing.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed a rare bug where Ahri's third Fox-Fire wouldn't deal damage while her passive was active.

Charm (E)

  • Enemies hit by Charm no longer take 20% increased damage from Ahri for 6 seconds.
  • Base damage increased by 0/5/10/15/20.
  • Ability power ratio increased by 15%. (35% -> 50%)

Spirit Rush (R)

  • Projectile range reduced by 100 units (700 -> 600).
  • QoL Improvements:
  • Spirit Rush is now more forgiving when dashing through or over terrain.
  1. Slap a short MS boost on Orb.
  2. Make orb more expensive at every stage of the game.
  3. Reduce Fox-Fire's damage range by 100.
  4. Completely remove Charm's +20% damage amplification.
  5. Slightly increase Charm's damage.
  6. Reduce Spirit Rush's damage range by 100.

Riot: "Ahri has been given a short movement speed boost on her Q as compensation for the removal of DFG!"

Riot: "Ahri's built-in DFG has been removed, the range of her all-in damage has been reduced, and the cost of her primary poking/farming tool has been increased to compensate for her compensation."

Jesus you are late.

Did you also find out that Ahri's win rate shot up so hard she was one of the best performing champions in the game thanks to these very compensations?

She was a kiting god, and impossible to pin down upon the "nerfs". People see that their favorite champion has changed, and decide changed=ruined. They never seem to look at the changes for what they actually do, instead looking at what they don't do.

I guess I mostly see nerfs because to me her biggest buff, the movement speed boost on Q, feels kinda out of place and just slapped on. It just seems like a really lazy way to make her more like the mobile mage she's meant to be. :/

Yeah, sorry I haven't been playing as much LoL lately. :|

Get over it.

Ahri is still really freaking strong.

I would actually welcome more Ahri nerfs, just so that her ban rate goes down enough that I can main her again.
