The slow from glacial is so good it get rid off her main counterplay (dodge charm) with barely any trade off because the extra damage from GLP compared to Luden make up for electrocute in all in, and cheap shot make up for electrocute in lane.

The nerf is her ult cooldown but glacial Ahri doesn't even need ult to make plays she just need GLP or twin shadow active. While classic Ahri with Domination/Sorcery highly rely on ult.

The trend of Glacial Ahri started when her charm duration, twin shadow and glp got buffed.

As a classic build Ahri player I feel upset about this.

I'm not saying Ahri shouldn't be nerfed, but Riot does it wrong.

People says, remember when Zed had to land shuriken to kill someone? Now people will says, remember when Ahri had to aim her charm?

Riot keep messing up with their game every patches.

Never thought we'd reach a point where Glacial Augment would be considered OP, especially after the GLP gut

I'm all up for people being creative with playstyles, stop getting things nerfed just because they don't "fit" whatever picture of the champ/item you had in mind.

I mean the initial impression people had on Klepto was for supports as extra income and some extra vision. I believe Riot probably intended that as well. Who would've thought it would be used on GP/Ez/Nasus to accelerate their builds by selling off the loots? But that is strategy and creativity in action. Especially with the inspiration tree's description: "Outwit mere mortals! - Creative tools and rule bending." Isn't that the whole point of that tree? And here people are crying about it being OP again. First Klepto, then Spellbook (though arguably spellbook wasn't being used properly, since people were using it for the summ CDR only), now it's Glacial Augment. Stop stifling player creativity!

Ahri doesnt even need the nerf, just glacial.

But if they nerf her ult on top of nerfing glacial its gonna be too much.

Honestly the whole Glacial thing with GLP is cancerous , Veigar Velkoz still makes me hate my life everytime they build it
