We need to make Ahri fun to play again.

Dear Summoners, let me talk about my self first :)

My story with league was in the beta(or alpha) when I bought it with money and it was a hard copy CD (or DVD not sure), internet for me was a problem back in 2010, so i could not play it.

I came back when one friend told me about the game, and I was like "oh it's free now? I bought that game long ago." Back then the community of league was in the "GameNet center thingy," league community was not big back then. I also remembered Varus login screen.

My first champ to play was Janna, it was in free rotation and I played twisted treeline, then I was a fan of Veigar, I bought this champ as soon I got IP for him, he reminded me of BlackMage in FF.

So...

I want to point out something, and I want to call it "Fun to play" and yes I'm putting Ahri in the title because she was My most beloved champ I played since start of seasons 3.

before everyone gets hyped because I'm talking about Ahri, My definition of "fun to play," is not about BUFFS, I do not want more damage.

It's hard to explain but think about it this way, Her Mechanics is not even Mage or Assassin anymore, it's like Twisted Fate finding his way in every meta but still struggling Ok keep up with me until the end.

  1. After late Season 3 Riot made this game, so most champs stick in a specific role.

  2. While you prolong in the game Riot changed Assassin, Big Example Road to Pre-Season: Assassin Update patch 6.22.

  3. if you see point one and point two, Ahri's role haven't changed at all. Riot didn't change her Hybrid Role and that which leads to her uprising suddenly, then going to her downfall to a very long period of time

Example, and read every patch and quotes why they changed her.

  • Oct-2013, Her role as an Assassin is powerful than Mage, patch 3.13
  • Jan-2015, Her role as a Mage is powerful than Assassin, patch 5.2
  • Mar-2017 Her role as an Assassin is powerful than Mage, patch 7.11
  • maybe 2019 she might repeat the cycle.

As I reach to my conclusion, a Hybrid Role for the past 5 years of changes, Ahri struggle to pull out the full capacity of ether 1 specific role and that what makes **her, Not Fun To play ** Or doing the Full Capacity of 1 role + adding extra benefit of the Secondary role and thus getting a hard nerf leading to do nether 100% capacity of ether roles mage or Assassin.

Many thanks for reading my article, your Buddy/Summoner Gurren Rumble :) [sg-ahri-2]

Ahri IS fun to play but her safety forces people into a mindset where "i cant go in if its risky!". Ahri is fun - its the people who main her who dont think so. Just like riven players arent toxic but instead create toxicity.

Also... Ahri is hyper mobile, one of the safest champions in the game, and has a TON of burst damage. She has ~1100+3.8AP iirc, which is similar to leblanc at ~1300+~4.0AP.
This being said Ahri has a LOT more mobility than any other mage assassin with her Q giving her a ridiculous speed boost and three dashes that go over walls. She pays for her lower damage with her obscene amount of safety.

Not sure I believe you within the first couple sentences since it was free to play in 2010

Ahri is one of the strongest mid laners out there and that charm is broken on her nuker kit

true, I didn't say that she is not strong, she is one of the strongest champs in mid lane, I can not deny that.

But I never mentioned that she is weak + your statement of the charm is over exaggerating, compare it to other CC projectiles. :)

Anyway, simply speaking I tried to explain that she is not fun to play anymore.

Assassin patch, she is not included in the change https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-622-notes

Mage patch, she is not included in the change. https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-69-notes

All I'm pointing is a change in her game style, to the whole years of the game change, Ahri didn't receive a proper change.

Not sure I believe you within the first couple sentences since it was free to play in 2010

My memory is vivid when it comes to 7 years now, I'm sure I bought this game in 2010 (or late 2009), Hard Copy still existed at that time, First map was Aram once you install the game, you get introduced to the game + you should play Ashe in tutorial.

Also, sorry duo to no evidence I can provide for the Hard Copy I bought.

Ahri IS fun to play but her safety forces people into a mindset where "i cant go in if its risky!".

Well, My mindset is different than what you have mentioned, thou Ahri is my third main. you statement is subjective that does not apply to all people.

Ahri is fun - its the people who main her who dont think so. Just like riven players arent toxic but instead create toxicity.

  1. With all duo respect I really put my information and facts to the context to deliver a message, so she can request and ask just for a proper change of mechanics to be fun to play again, her mechanics is the same since 2012.

  2. All she got is miner changes in her game style:

  • MS in her Q
  • In S3 that she got 20% damage more in her E (so she can give back the old damage if she landed E so basically it's the same game-play but to relay on skill shot rather than bursting people with W +R)

Also... Ahri is hyper mobile, one of the safest champions in the game, and has a TON of burst damage. She has ~1100+3.8AP iirc, which is similar to leblanc at ~1300+~4.0AP. This being said Ahri has a LOT more mobility than any other mage assassin with her Q giving her a ridiculous speed boost and three dashes that go over walls. She pays for her lower damage with her obscene amount of safety.

your comparison is so bias, how can you compare LB with Ahri? Every champion is unique in his/her mechanics.

Also, A mage should have A strong AoE of damage, LB does not have that, leading her to be a full Assassin single target lockdown.

Ahri in the other hand is unique, and no champion is like her, because she is hybrid in both roles
