Idea to balance Ahri

Glîtchy·May 5, 2017·1 votes·289 views

Now yes I love playing Ahri and Veigar but even I think Ahri needs a nerf, nowyes her charm was nerfed to not deny dashes but here's the thing, that was the INCORRECT nerf to "balance" her, now I'm NOT saying that the charm nerf SHOULD NOT have happened,

But rather it was unnecessary compared to her Q as in it's return it deals true damage that scales with 35% of her AP which is a massive amount of true damage when she reaches full build, now instead of true damage it should probably be instead that on return if it hits the same target, it deals 20% more magic damage (grand total of 55% of her AP scaling is used) which would probably help balance her vs. true damage that scales with 35% of her AP.

Here is her Q's scaling (both on return and being launched have same scaling)

40/65/90/115/140 (+35% of her AP) which makes a massive blow with her Q's return if she has void staff, Sorcerer's and Abyssal.

Yup. I've thought forever the only nerf she needs is to remove the true damage on return. Maybe evern lower the cd by a second across the board.

the proposed changes would make her extremely obnoxious all game while unable to deal with tanky teams. This isn't a nerf this is a gutting designed to keep people who haven't done the math feeling satisfied.

Bad idea. You'd be better off just making it full true damage, lowering the scaling, and increasing the size of the hitbox according to her AP or another stat, maybe max mana.

the proposed changes would be extremely strong in 1v1 and annoying and spammy without a good end or midgame to win any games with.

Strong against squishy' sure but isn't that the point of assassins?

not strong against squishies. Just strong but useless lategame. Obnoxious without a realistic endgame outside of abnormal conditions. This is a gutting, this is not just a nerf it is removing her from viability. She is not an assassin, she is a mage assassin or "kite mage" as they call it now. Compensating her for this would take something far more drastic than true damage. She struggles enough to do what she does as is even if she does have a way to do it more easily every so many seconds with her ult.
