@Meddler Context on the Ahri buffs?

Koechophe·Mar 24, 2016·2 votes·876 views

It's a little frustrating, seeing Ahri who's hovering at ~52% win rate and who seems to be reasonably healthy as a mage, get straight buffs, in contrast to the number of mages who are suffering (Viegar, Viktor, etc). There are 16 mages sitting at below a 48% win rate, some of whom were recently nerfed (karthus, swain, viktor) and haven't been readressed. I hope this doesn't sound too adversarial, I'm just wondering why Ahri's getting buffs in comparison to other mages who seem to need them more.

It's just a tooltip correction which was reported almost a year ago. link

What buffs did she get. Charm (E) damage increased to 60/95/130/165/200 from 60/90/120/150/20

It's a horrible buff, and I'm not even going to go into why. All I'm going to say is that from an Ahri main's perspective, LeBlanc completely outclasses her right now and she needs some form of compensation.

@OP Every mage needs buffs, including Ahri. Don't look at winrate as your sole factor in this.

So, +5/+10/+15 Base damage on rank 2,3 and 4 of Charm...

Not really much. Especially, if you consider, that it remains the same on rank 1 and 5; so her dmg lategame as well as earlygame stays the same, since you usually don't put another point into Charm until Q and W are maxed out.

Honestly speaking, the value buff isn't necessary on charm. For what it's worth, I'd rather them buff Foxfire's ratio and let Charm stay as a low-damaging, utility move.

tbh i read the change and the first thing I thought was

"oh they're nerfing her charm to 60/90/120/150/180 and made a mistake on the tooltip it's only 5/10/15/20 damage on a single-target ability, no big deal"

and then I find out it's a tooltip fix and I have all the sads because really it takes 10 months to update a tooltip?
