Ahri's kit a little too deep

I feel like she does everything a little too well right now, she has no drawbacks. Easy, safe, and early push, sustained dmg, sustain, burst, mobility. It's a little excessive.

Wouldn't say she is immobile when she gets three dashes with her R. But ahri is probably one of the most balanced mid laners right now.

Better nerf irelia.

Wait, we are talking about Ahri? Oh. IMO she's fine. Yes she can do a lot, but she's not the best at anything. She's not quite a sustained DPS champ, she's not an assassin that much anymore, and she's not exactly a burst champ either. Also, there's a level of difficulty in hitting all of the W's and R's, your Q either has to be very well planned out or you need to be reacting the whole time it's out, and her charm is easy enough to dodge.

If you look at win rates, Mal and heimer are ahead of her while galio and brand aren't far behind. Plus if you pick her, the other guy can pick Annie, Swain, Kat, or LB and make your laning phase absolutely miserable so it's not like she's got no counters. If you don't know the match up as Ahri, the other guy picking J4 or Wu Kong into her will leave you frustrated. She's not tough enough to handle bruisers in her early game.

Not to mention the fact that she's supposed to be able to do a lot. Her lore is based off a kitsune, a mythical fox who uses guile and charm (( cough obvious reference cough )) to lure in victims. The more tails they have, the older and more powerful they are, but at the same time they're not really known for being brutes able to take much punishment. I'd assume that due to the amount of tails Ahri has, she simply has the knowledge to be good at a lot but a master of none because she needs to be able to lure a LOT of different people to their deaths - after all, it's how she remains human at all.

May not mean much; but if not from a gameplay standpoint, her lore gives a pretty solid basis behind why she's good at a lot without being perfect in any.

Her q mobility completely wrecked her identity. Her immobility was supposed to be her drawback

Except her ult already gave her pretty alright mobility.

She wasnt immobile to begin with.

Right, she never had a winrate spike after movespeed got put on her q.

AbsoluteSadmanJul 25, 20151 votes

It made her more mobile. Plus, there were alot of other factors affecting that.

Dorans HatJul 25, 20151 votes

None of those factors were that her q got movespeed.

I said there were alot of other factors. Not that this factor was unimportant.

I honestly think she's fine. Dodging her charm is a lot like dodging lee sin's Q. Granted it gets messier when she hits 6, but it's still manageable. I think the problem is that a lot of her counters aren't generally seen right now.

She's strong, but she really, really isnt that big of a problem. You can beat her with a LOT of champs.

Perfect solution: Orb of Deception no longer speeds her up. Charm reverted to dealing 20% increased damage to affected target. Ability Power ratio reduced to .35 from .50.

Problem solved, aaand.. fixed?
