Ahris skill gap/whos really playing her nowdays IMO

Mobility Power·Apr 20, 2016·1 votes·524 views

so, i was a hardcore ahri player for several seasons basically in love with the champ thousands and thousands of games played, and when i play her right now its not as fun for me. i liked having to play my best to kill people, the movespeed on q is nice but once you have like 2 items r/w combo is way to strong and drains the fun out of her gameplay. i would rather them take a large amount of power out of w and put most into q and some into e!

nowadays i feel like shes a flavor of month champ for people.

not a hard matchup for ahri IMO to win vs annie you just farm lane and roam well. annie doesnt have enough range to kill ahri unless ahri makes it so. and of course its incredibly obviouse what annies next move with be - if annies running up towards you ignoring minions 10/10 shes gonna f once shes into tibbers range. easiest way to counterplay it is to f when she gets into range to f. i flash malphites ult probably 40% of the time, not because im hitting flash after he ults, because im hitting flash when i know he will ult. same with malz r i will ult up to malz and then f/e in a 90 degree angle. instantly pulls him out of ult and i win fight.

champions who rely on raw numbers not outplay mechanics will always be hard to balance around and of course will always be complained about.. i would rather play vs a fed annie then a lot of champs in lol. and if fizz wasnt tank i wouldnt give to shits if he was fed everygame either. 100% of fizz's dmg is avoidable: dash his q then make him use e to outplay himself. and also shark is such a slow and bad hitbox. easy dodge unless he bush cheezes.

im gonna miss the qss nerf because it hits people who are good at the game way harder then noobs. i really loved being able to buy qss and have it ruin 8/10 champs in league.

Really? i just bait ahri's in with 2 or 3 stacks of flame. Most players don't normally check how many stun stacks she is carrying constantly. Only time i ever flash is to secure a gank kill or initiating a teamfight.

when im in lane vs annie im constantly targeting her mentally counting- i also used to play annie :) the e before q bait is fun. a lot of players dont think about what happens next they try to react to it after it happens - if annies 2 stacks she needs to kill 1 creep with q then e f r instakill cause q cd will be back by the time that you need to hit it.

Mid lane is probably my least played role. (As i usually play role that are in demand. such as support, jg, or bot) And I still have trouble last hitting without building AD or defensive items.

That said, When I do play mid lane, Ahri's my go to. She has a good mix of Damage, mobility, kiting, and can wave clear fairly well. I wouldn't agree with the notion of adding more power to her Q. It would make her spike faster as her Q is level first. And it may give her inapropriate levels of wave clear.

Personally, I think her W could use a little work. As right now, it does little but add some extra damage to her combo, without really adding anything interesting to her kit.

her w is way stronger then you think, it has nearly the same dmg scaling as Q with less base dmg i think. q is like 70% w is like 67% i think. an example of a dmg shift that really made a champ become played rather then considered a troll pick is nautilus- dmg from his silly shield shifted to his ripple. same dmg just better to use. ahris w is also a really low cd and good waveclear skill if you use it right. not as good as q tho. imo i would rather have her w feel truely meaningless then feel like - let me r to you press a skill and nuke without even targeting it .. i would rather them put the dmg into her e then and not her q or w. it would feel more fun to play-counterplay with e getting the dmg actually. and also fit her theme.

It doesn't have the true damage either, its a mediocre nuke. I think its her ult and the thunderlord's/ludens procs you may be understating.

i mean, the r w nuke isnt gonna work if w doesnt do much dmg and you need to use your e. 1 r is 30 ap, all r's are 90. so if just 1 r and all ws hit you did over 1for1 ap dmg with ludins and thunderlords plus extra base dmgs. just r w is basically 1 for 1 tho.
