zed vs ahri, riot favouritism

This is but a few of the ahri threads swarming around on NA, all the other servers are exactly the same. If you cannot see what you are doing wrong then there is no hope of us changing it now.

but there is just one thing i dont get YOU DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYER BASE AT ALL, I DONT MEAN TO RAGE BUT JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ARE YOU PEOPLE IGNORANT OR DO YOU JUST NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK? ON PBE ALL EVERYONE WAS TELLING YOU IS HOW RETARDED THE SERIOUS CHANGES YOU ARE MAKING BY REMOVING DFG and THE 20% DMG AMP ON HER CHARM.

I MAY AS WELL PISS ON MY MONITOR BECAUSE THAT HOW EFFECTIVE CHARM IS NOW

sorry about all the yelling but that needed to come out.

How can you honestly justify shitting on the whole playstyle of a champion and forcing players to build her in only one way? I thought that on multiple occasions rioters have said that they wont to promote diversity on the rift.

Well good job on that because now your golden boy zed is the only really viable assassin in the mid lane. booo hooo he got a AS nerf, cry me a river. its not like a fairly substantial AS item is core on him at all :^) and its soooo great having his passive and the botrk passive almost one hit you if you have 50% hp without even using a spell. (not to mention the executioners mastery)

It would be a shame that if you are a ap mid laner you have to buy one item every time you vs zed. because screw diversity and what you need, its all about zed.

You are basically given the choice to either buy the costly seekers arm guard that gives none of the early game stats that you want or lose lane to the zed who comes back to lane with whatever the heck items his heart desires and you still have to dance around his endless poke. Poke that costs hardly anything and that he can farm safely with in the event that he made a mistake and does not have complete and utter lane dominance. And then there is the ever looming threat of him going all in on you, which he will do whenever he fucking feels like it. And if you are able to duke the point blank ninja stars of armageddon prey that he forgets to use the blade of no fucking escape active what will slow you the fuck down ON TOP OF THE E SHADOW SLOW so that he can whack your face untill you go pop.

In the likely situation that you die you may think that your tower will at least get you even with him untill you realize he hasn't used his free insta flash back to his 3rd shadow that also clones his skills for even more damage -_-.

But no lets shit on ahri and tap golden boy on the wrist.

I don't know, Ahri got a big movement speed buff while using Q, got a .15 ratio increase on her charm, and got bug fixes. Sure, you can't 100-0 someone by landing a charm, but I don't think you should have been able to do that to begin with. With her mobility, I don't think she should be able to 100-0 someone. That being said, you can't compare anything to Zed because they obviously have a hard on for his #LC$BIGPLAY$.

Just wanted to also point out the mana issue as well. Since mana regen got gutted in S5 Zed is even stronger than ever and Ahri got weak as hell because of it. A zed misses his combo boo fucking hop he can toss another one out in no time whereas if an Ahri misses her combo, which does less damage now, she loses so much mana and pressure since her auto's are much less dangerous than zed's

Also that bullshit Zed nerf , lowering his attack speed?, Yeah cause that was his issue his attack speed. It's not like all he needs is one combo (not even an auto) to kill mages early on. Removing a core item and lowering mana regen is a nerf not this bullshit.

But yeah #LC$BIGPLAY$ is influencing the game too damn much. People ask for Lee Sin and Zed nerfs? We get a weakened Ahri, DFG removal to screw mana hungry mages over even more and Sona nerfs instead.

Thanks Rito

At risk of coming under a hailstorm of angry fire. I love Zed and in all honesty, Zed is insanely difficult to balance without making him useless. I would assume they're taking stabs in minor ways to see how they affect him that way they prevent Olafing him. That being said the attack speed nerfs will likely see him take about 1/8th of a second longer to blow up a squishy target. He needs more to really bring him into a relatively balanced place in the game. A champion like him will never be fully balanced I don't see how it would even be possible to do so. He's either going to be strong, or useless, no in between.

However, I agree that removing the damage amp made virtually no sense especially since they gave Fizz DFG in his ultimate. I think the removal of DFG was substantial enough to bring Ahri into line as a relatively balanced champion and that the damage amp removal on charm is going to see her win rate plummet harder than a man with cement shoes being dropped off the pier.

Ahri is in a fine state provided you don't play the full assassin style that people were used to. She is much more (and always was until they added the 20% damage addition to charm) about kiting and taking what you are given. I really don't think she needs any buffs, but I main her as more of a kiting type mage and always have except for last season when dfg made being an assassin the optimal build.

If you need any proof, im so far 3-0 (small sample size I know) again diamond/plat players from last season and am rocking 40-7-26 as my k-d-a. Ahri is fine as is (imo).

The change on Ahri lets Riot focus on buffing her damage instead of letting her stagnate because of the damage amps.

The AS nerf on Zed was only the beginning, I'm pretty sure we'll see his Shadow Slash get reduced damage on minions in the next patch or two.

no champion should have both burst, an easy escape and poke. That is why both zed and ahri were op.
