Ahri hasn't still received a notable nerf

ModBoggyBuntu··9 votes·886 views

Why hasn't she received a good nerf? The last nerf she received to her sustain was pretty minimal compared to everything else she has on her kit. Her Q makes her ungankable and gives decent damage, her W adds to her burst, E is basically a death sentence unless you're a tank and her ult makes her either ungankable or undodgable on teamfights. On top of all her mobility and damage, she gets the sustain from her passive and also can either roam or lane very effectively, and she has barely any hard matchup

Why hasn't she received a good nerf?

She doesn't need one. She's still got hard counter picks and champs that are pure skill matchups against her.

The problem isn't Ahri, the problem is in people selecting champs. If you are picking before the other mid, you have to at least consider she's showing up and make a pick that at worst is a skill match up against her.

So your contention is that Ahri is both strong enough and popular enough that people have to warp their choice of champion selection around her existence, and she's somehow still not OP?

Ahri is by no means unique in that regard.

When top lane hasn't been picked, you have to worry about the enemy choosing Darius (bullying), Fiora (dueling), Riven (snowball), and Nasus (scaling).

When the support hasn't been picked, you have to worry about them choosing Morgana (to prevent CC), Leona (to crush sustain lanes), or Braum (to block skillshots).

When ADC hasn't been picked, you have to consider whether you can deal with Vayne or Caitlyn.

When jungle hasn't been picked, you have to consider whether you will be dealing with an early invader/ganker (Shaco, Lee Sin, Elise) or a farmer (Shyvana, Master Yi, Amumu).

That's only a small sub-set of champions. When someone is popular, considering the possibility of them being picked when selecting your champion is common sense.

How about a change that rewards players for successfully getting close to her? Right now anyone who goes near her eats a full combo.

Ahri is one of the untouchables.

She's aloud to remain a god tier pick with a high win rate throughout so many patches. I don't even know why some people bother defending her. I don't think what we say gets through to Riot when it comes to certain champions, and she's one of them.

To be honest, Ahri seems to be quite balanced at the moment. She is strong, but has counter play and plus, she's really popular and if Riot did a significant nerf on her, people would go a little crazy

The problem is her Q MS buff. She obviously had a functional kit before the buff so either tone it down or remove it. "DFG COMPENSATION THO"

Her MS buff isn't as huge as people make it sound.

If you're expecting rito to nerf their poster champion just give up it's never going to happen.

What shits me off about Ahri the most is that you can miss your skillshots and still dish out substantial damage from W + R

Edit: Potato grammar

If I could change her, I'd give her 20% magic damage amplify back on Charm, reduce its ap ratio back to 0.35, and remove the speed up on Orb of Deception. She's already highly mobile with Spirit Rush, she didn't need the extra mobility. I felt it's what accentuated her role as an assassin instead of this hyper-mobile mage-assassin.

Why does Ahri being popular mean she needs a nerf? Janna is played just as much with a 52% win rate - where are all the torches and pitchforks for her?

People complaining about Ahri being overpowered are the same jerks who are playing stuff like Viktor , Azir or Diana mid. Ahri's pre 6 is still shit and her Q does no damage until lvl 7-8 with atleast 1 major item completed. You cant even wave clear with her Q early game.
