Ahri, the balanced yet awkwardly unbalanced lone cat...
Ahri has to the be the cooliest champion. With high potential to be great, but the wrong potential? Whoever created Ahri is perhaps, in my opinion, the smartest person alive in the gaming industry.... But then, I feel like she's very fragile. Kind of like LeBlanc.
She was a terrific idea, but the moment she came out, her "next trick" to make her enemy's life bar disappear was just too good. Then, she was forgotten about... Until she got nerfed, then buffed again. Then reworked since EVERYBODY was playing her. Then nerfed (her silence) and then buffed (her magic trick of deceiving people). That probably had to be the best thing that ever happened.... She was nerfed, since she just took the
Q>R>W to kill anyone or just even Q>R combo. But buffing her strengths as who she really was intended to be is just awesome. And I feel like
is in the same process. However, I sort of feel like people just hammered her without the right intentions. I mean... Yes she was a very scary fox, but the only sole reason that she was nerfed was because "She is just too OP". I feel like her charm rework was really well but, at the same time, the purpose of it just falls out late game. I play Ahri so I kind of know that even if you miss your charm, you can always
and hit any other abilities to get the kill. Not to mention that she has an incredible incredible nuke. When I started playing Ahri since she came out, she was supposed to be a primary mage, or a "mobile mage assassin". And yes, she falls in that category but I feel like her assassin side just got too strong, or over the counter. Pre 6 means you have to hit charm to get the kill (awesome) but, mid-late game, if you have the
it's gg unless you somehow screw up really bad.... which is like extremely hard to fail than to not to. Her ultimate, is perhaps the best in game (my opinion) but at the same time too strong? I feel like the reason why Ahri players get lazy to not work as hard to get kills late game is because Ahri's ultimate is a strong source of damage... Of course there's the side of high risk high reward, but there can be other abilities that make it high risk high reward that actually takes some skills. Is it just me? She's so easy to play, so much rewards for the wrong intention of playing her. She's an amazing assassins, but not so amazing when it comes to the term of "mobile mage assassin". Her mage part? Eh. In teamfights she's "exhausted her use". Once she assassinates her target, she's done her role and she just kind of stays in the back, lingering and throwing out spells that keep her safe. She was supposed to be a risky champion that seducts overconfident enemies and then punishes them. And have nimble ways to reposition and slip through the tightest situations. Now, she just (Q)s all day in teamfight, and in lane (now that her mana get buffed) but that doesn't mean it makes a SIGNIFICANCE difference. Every act done should be rewarding, but I feel like all of Ahri's rewards went to her assassin cool-cat mode. I rather her have a more risky gameplay that gets her more reward. I remember a game where I R>W>DFG>E (missed)> Q>R>R out. Somehow, I killed the ADC
This just shows how strong Ahri is without the use of charm.... It's crazy, I want her mage side more and a balanced amount of mobile and assassin side. There should be other abilities that help me reposition than 3 dashes and I'm over. Ahri should be more reliant on charm. Instead of it just being there until lvl 6 where it just means you can make it a clean kill or not. I want more of Ahri, than LeBlanc tier nuke or too much of consistent damage of Ahri's mage side (Q).... I feel like this is where her Passive comes in. I do have an idea but, I like I've been shot down too many times... Oh Riot please listen to me!!! I posted many threads, before and after I've changed my summoner's name!! I made post that Lissandra should have a consistent and a better slow on her ult. Which was ignored and people cursed at me for, and few patches it happens! I told people that LeBlanc should be nerfed but her deceiver side like her passive should be buffed, but people said "she's already OP enough" and I wrote a forum about Cassiopeia needing a rework, especially something that revolves around her Twin Fang (E) and nobody heard me.... And then the Cassiopeia rework came... Why does nobody listen? Am I screaming to a brick here? Or am I just insane? I feel like both... But, please am I implausible? Do I speak of wrong information? (Not a rhetorical question.) I'm not telling Riot to post a comment on this thread or for people to encourage me to write my ideas and my beliefs but like... I just want to be heard and somehow make a difference... But if it's for the worse, maybe not I guess.
