Playing Ahri, A memoir to DFG

FlowDartX·Feb 14, 2018·7 votes·603 views

Remember when Ahri did negligible damage, now she can barely finish out her kills and relies on her jungler, if you go electrocute you still don't have enough damage. But she is super safe due to the healing from the domination line. She doesn't feel fun to play at all and her fantasy of even remotely being an Assassin doesn't even happen until after 5-6 kills, and even then if shes going full damage she can only go in to one target at a time and with the way ADC's are, shes likely to be focused down immediately to where she will only get one person, her spells don't have enough range to poke in teamfights when that's the only non suicide bomber thing you can do at that point.

Overall, she just feels clunky and disjointed to play compared to other mages who deal better burst with just a couple of abilities.

Ahri to me has been this chip damage mage for quite a while, who cant risk going in unless all spells are off cooldown, only to use every single spell in a roll-the-dice all in and try and OHKO them. If you arent fast enough or dont know the exact cast flow, youre fcked and are likely forced to use a charge of Ult to get away.

Ahri is the mage with fixed amount of damage, meaning even if the enemie build MR she still does damage because of true damage.

140 flat true damage at max rank with a .33 ap ratio, wow sooo scary /s

"A memoir to dfg"

The English in there is sad.

There's nothing wrong with the English in the sentence, it is a memoir to DFG. I think you think its a Memorium of DFG which it is not

She just needs more damage in her kit. Reduce the Q's movement speed per level in exchange for more damage. At this point she kinda is an old champion and her W didn't age well at all. I like the theme that it brings with the spirit orbs but it needs a complete rework. Something more engaging and USEFUL to use.

I love playing her. Try: item 3146 item 3100 item 3020 item 3165 item 3089 item 3135 With Electrocute + sorcery (celerity and ultimate hat)

I find great succes with this!

Why would you get Lichbane over Luden's Echo which gives similar but also better stats....

yoshi2790Feb 15, 20182 votes

Because it gives higher and more reliable burst.

FlowDartXFeb 15, 20181 votes

Yeah, but you cant even really use it because she unloads her entire kit from afar and doesn't want to stay that long

yoshi2790Feb 16, 20181 votes

I think her R solves that problem, but yeah it's not 100% perfect

Because she dance around her prey, throwing spell and aa while beeing hard to hit. It's not like the prey can 3 shot with reliable right click on long range. Tristana item 3094

Unless you want the extra waveclear and play safe, lich bane is more rewarding with better execution.

Good. Having a assasin who can easily escape by pressing a button is frustrating. Having a mage assasin with a safe laning phase and 3 dashes on her ult escape you is old LeBlanc W kinds of stupid. But seriously he doesn`t deserve high burst damage if she got spammable abilitys with that kind of mobility

Shes barely a mage, they should just commit to her being the spellcasting Assassin fantasy rather than w/e she is right now. Also Ahri is safe for when she has ult up and when bronzies are so bad they cant abuse her terrible laning phase and less than on par damage for a mage at this time. She doesnt have the range to abuse comet, aery doesnt do enough damage and Electrocute still doesn't give her enough damage to close out kills now. All they need to do is fix the stupid fox fire chasing mechanics again so they prioritize champions harder. but for now she just doesn't feel nice to play and doesnt have the best waveclear in the game irreguardless of what people think about her kit being good.
