So ahri nerfs when?

AgeOfTheMage·Apr 10, 2017·6 votes·605 views

Now this may seem like a salt post, and it is true i just lost to ahri, but that doesn't mean she doesn't need nerfs. here's what her kit includes: a speed boost true damage healing a charm 3 dashes her kit is rather overloaded and the fact that you're completely helpless if you get hit by a charm makes things even worse. i'm not saying to gut her or anything, but tweak somethings. your thoughts?

hi, yes, to you ahri lovers who downvoted without reading, if you're going to downvote please explain why she doesn't need nerfs, asides, i'm not even asking for much, just some tweaks or somethin to prevent her from being too strong.

Why the hell are people now just whining about her? she's been good since season 4.

LCS metaslaves.

They won't whine when they don't see it in LCS.

eh, she isn't played that much but that doesn't mean she till isn't a problem, as for why they haven't complained before idk.

Because she wasn't a problem until her bad matchups got nerfed.

and it is true i just lost to ahri, but that doesn't mean she doesn't need nerfs. here's what her kit includes: a speed boost true damage healing a charm 3 dashes

You are a human you have legs you type at speeds you use vowels in EVERY WORD you are on the internet you communicate all the things

you can make anything look op by adding a list. Ahri's abilities taken out of context and without numbers will look just as op as any other champ if you do the same.

her kit is rather overloaded and the fact that you're completely helpless if you get hit by a charm makes things even worse.

except that said "overloaded kit" doesn't actually do too much damage and you will still have time to respond to most things since charm doesn't last that long. Its more the displacement that's an issue.

i'm not saying to gut her or anything, but tweak somethings. your thoughts?

Her mobility should be on her W and it should be a dash not a speed boost similar to mikella from dawngate (the coin lady)

hmm, i can see that happening, what if it she got faster each time one of her w's hit so it wouldn't be instant, but it still seems like she has a bit much. her passive provide sustain in lane her q provides escape and poke(and true damage to help take down mr heavy tanks) her e provides hard cc allowing you to land everything her ult provides a chase/escape her w does need something done to it though.

at the end of the day ahri has been one of the best examples for where the designers seem to have wanted this game to go and she's also been one of the most balanced champs. Every matchup is a skill matchup for her. A lot of people think she cant be ganked, in truth that's just because people are cowards and will run away the second they lose half their hp because they don't know how to deal with casters that can defend themselves somewhat and/or they've gotten too used to barely scraping by on weak gankers.

yes but usually when you lose half health it's just from her going E then Q or Q then W, and seeing almost every ahri take ignite it's rather risky to keep going in, true she isn't impossible to gank however she is rather secure.

Nothing wrong with that.

Just as some champs are harder to avoid ganks from other are harder to gank.

Here are champs that can gank ahri harder than your average champ

MasterYi Akali Amumu Nautilus Maokai Diana LeeSin Camille Elise

People struggle to gank her for the same reasons they struggle to do anything of significance back when they were that dork that told themselves "lel I don't need smite to jungle!"

Most people complaining about ahri being too safe are the same people who wanted to break the meta without knowing what it looked like first.

AgeOfTheMageApr 10, 20171 votes

Yeah, I understand she isn't 100% safe but i mainly just dislike champs such as ahri ex: lux or blitz land q, use e, ult = you're dead unless ur a tank. these champs are jsut unfun for me to play against "just dodge" what if i'm mr pizza feet(morde) and i get hit over a wall before i get my tank items.

She's no better or worse than she's been since they removed DFG and gave her a mini rework to compensate for the losses. She's actually one of the more balanced mages in the game in my opinion.

It's true that she snowballs pretty hard and can be very oppressive, but she's also very easy to deal with when you learn how to play around her.
