Reminder that Ahri's Charm is still messed up.

I've been abusing the Nine-Tailed Fox in ranked, and I play a lot of her. As a result, I've noticed a... Discrepancy in her charm.

Every once in a while, when you hit a charm, the enemy, instead of walking towards Ahri, will continue walking away. It's really annoying when you're in lane and you need to finish them off, but you can't because they aren't walking towards you.

The animation shows them as charmed, but they'll continue walking the wrong way. This is less noticeable when Charm is at max rank, because it lasts longer and it seems to correct itself. For example, if I use my max rank Charm on a Nasus, he might walk the wrong way initially, but eventually he'll turn around.

I just feel like Charm isn't instantaneous like it should be, instead it feels like the game takes a minutes to register that someone is charmed, and by the time it realizes it, the Charm duration is already over.

Like I said, this isn't a problem late-game, but considering most Ahri players max Charm last, it makes early game slightly annoying. And this isn't to say it happens EVERY charm. Not even close. Once or twice a game, at the most. But it's still REALLY annoying and let's those 100 HP enemies get away when they shouldn't.

Fix!

EDIT: Thanks for the attention, guys. I appreciate it. I've noticed a few of you think this should be under "Report A Bug". I agree. However, I felt this was more gameplay oriented and less of a bug, just a discrepancy. I'd be happy to move it to the proper section, but thank you for the attention, guys!

I have seen this as well. While granted, it has been from enemy Ahris but I have noticed it but thought that was a one time thing. Also, this should be placed under Report a Bug.

Some male champs are gay and some female champs are straight, or whatever their reason is for not being turned on by Ahri. Can't be helped that Ahri's charm ain't working on them.

I still don't understand why you don't get vision when you charm an enemy. Nothing is more infuriating then landing a charm on a guy in a bush and fox-fire won't launch because you dont have vision of the guy, even if he's 400 units away. If I had the skill to land charm on a guy I didn't have vision of, give me vision of him! Or least let fox-fire home in on charmed targets, even if I don't have vision. Tbh that'd be an even better QoL buff.

I've found this actually happens with Rakan ultimate sometimes too. Very weird, and extremely annoying for him, since they walk right out of your knockup if you ult w

It does it on Rakan's R too. I think the Charm coding itself is bugged.

i've seen it before and i've done that before. basically when ahri charms you, if you right click fast enough, you can glich yourself out of her charm.

Yes, I've been hit by that kind of messed up charms more than once, the Ahri was the enemy so I did not complain, but it must be pretty tilting.

ive had this happen before on urgot its a blessing

Call Me Nana6/6/2017, 6:25:57 AM1 votes

it seems her charm is initially programmed as a fear, then kicks in how its supposed too.

I agree, its super frustrating when you q just missed because of it.

good, bitch needs another nerf anyway

Ahri is hated so much by some people that a bug that ruins league in general is considered a good thing if its on Ahri.

This belongs in report a bug, as it is an unintended effect. It won't get Rioter attention here as easily as it will there anyway.

Arhkadian6/6/2017, 11:36:58 PM1 votes

I sometimes get it to where they just done move at all aswell.

Happened to me where I was fighting a kat and I charmed her just outside of tower range, but since she didn't move, she didn't move into tower range and she killed me as a result. Very obnxious.

I HATE this, I want to start maxing charm second just so I don't deal with this

Really shouldn't be maxing charm last, especially after the last patch imo.

Been playing Ahri a decent amount as well, happens like once every two games.

I play Ahri a lot and see this quite a bit as well

My least favorite part is if you die while your charm is traveling, the charm will not hit If someone is charmed and then you die, the charm will end (this one makes sense since they have nothing to walk to, but it just gets lame)

Its because of pathing

Sort of related, I charmed someone as Rakan, then used W'd behind them to knock them up. Instead of walking towards me, he just kept walking straight ahead, right out side of my W range

same it has literally saved the lives of my enemies, which in turn usually ended up being a dead me

As an ahri main for 3 seasons, this is an occurrence that has been happening even before they stoped her charm from interupting dashes.

As far back as I can remember, this only started happening after her ridiculous 60% winrate buffs

From what I have experienced, +98% of her charms will work properly.

However, in that 2%, some really weird stuff happens. Mostly, what happens is what you said, they get charmed and just keep on walking. From what I remember, it only happens when the target is walking away, and the charm is near max range.

from the minority of that 2% (~1%) The enemy is able to completely disregard the cc and cast a movement ability WHILE CHARMED. I'm not sure what causes this, but I think it stems from the same issue that the walking thing does.

Yeah, this should be under "Report a Bug"

Last game our GP Got charmed and started walking left away from Ahri, but then auto pathed back to Ahri? Weirdest thing to see.
