Let's talk about Ahri.

I am not one to rush to conclusions without testing first. That said, I'll admit, I haven't tried Ahri on the PBE yet, but I plan to as soon as possible.

From a theoretical standpoint, however, I'm simply curious. Let's compare pre-DFG removal and PBE Ahri.

After her rework, here are the effective buffs:

• Move speed on Q.
• .15 extra AP scaling on Charm.
• Better Foxfire targeting.

And her effective needs:

• No damage amplification
• Higher mana costs for her already small mana pool.
• Less range on Foxfires (150, even).

I understand the desire to make her a kiting mage. It's different, but not necessarily weak. However, how much is the MS boost on her Q worth in comparison to the power of her other abilities? Is it worth these nerfs?

EDIT: Okay, so after trying her (albeit against a relatively weak opposing team), she still FEELS good. Her W range definitely seems to be hit a little too hard, and you can definitely feel the hit with the extra mana costs. However, as far as her kiting potential and trading potential go, she's actually not too far off.

Discuss :)
