Ahri ideas.

So, right now Ahri mindlessly mashes buttons and wins -- and that's okay because she's a slutty fox and makes money off of little kids, which Riot loves. But, I think she's had a high 50% winrate for long enough now, don't you? How about a rework to make her actually, you know, fair? Make her into a REAL skill champ like people insist she is.

Passive: "Spellvamp is toxic." So why do so many champs have passive healing?

  • REMOVED: No longer gives healing.

  • I thought this was her Q: Landing 5 hits with abilities within a few seconds (consecutive or multiple targets) grants Ahri 50% MS (or whatever her Q is right now) decaying over 2s.

Q: No real changes other than taking away the MS for spamming it.

  • REMOVED: No longer grants MS while in flight.

W: Big changes here, since it's auto-aimed, it's gotta have some kind of restriction on it, right? And, you know, for an ability named Fox Fire, it doesn't have much to do with fire.

  • Now does 25/35/50/80/100 damage per bolt. (Made up numbers)

  • Burn baby burn: If all three bolts hit the same target, the target is set on fire, and takes an additional 50% of the total damage dealt by the ability over 2 seconds.

  • Charm amp: If the bolts hit a target that was hit by your charm within the last 5 seconds, then the target takes 100% additional damage per bolt.

E: No changes.

R: A few more changes to more auto-targeted bullshit.

  • Now does less damage per bolt.

  • Essence Theft?: If all three bolts hit the same target, the next ability to hit that target will heal Ahri for X health (modified by AP).

Bam. My idea for how to make Ahri fair without taking away anything.

So it's a problem for her, but not for Fizz Darius Akali Fiora Annie Riven to be all button mashing? seems legit

I mean I'd like to rework / delete half the roster, but that won't happen.

Just delete Fiora, Fizz, Yi, Darius and Lee Sin, then League will see true balance

i'm seeing that as mostly a buff think about it she lands her e and w's you since the e doubles it the damage over time would be doubled too

Ideally, she'd have about the same power she does now, but less accessible. So you have to actually do things to win.

Right now she doesn't even need her charm to 100-0 you instantly.

Never in my life have I 100-0'd anyone without charm without being ridiculously fed as ahri, conversely, while playing against her I have never been instantly 100-0'd unless I got charmed first, or she was ridiculously fed and should have ended the game 15 minutes prior, The power everyone complains about isn't there unless you get past 20k gold. The only possible exceptions I can think of were really squishy champs that were poorly built, but ANYONE could have nuked them. Now don't get me wrong, I love your idea for the W, I'm not one of the Ahri fanboys that downvote everything. However, with the exception of the W being both unengaging to play with, and being not worth using in laning phase, the problems aren't there, not such that she needs to be retooled to this degree.

An alternative that seems fair to me is moving the Q ms boost to every other Q, or tie it to essence theft. Either would reduce the spamming of Q, but nothing is going to really affect the top tier Ahri mains, without making her unplayable for anyone else, she isn't that complex, and I feel it's better that way, she is a cheap to acquire champ with a lot of power that's easy to learn, but not unfun to play against like her counterparts and not heavily affected by balance changes to other classes, which makes her the perfect introduction to bursty champs for new players.
