When Ahri is up for nerfs after her update, do us a favor

When she's up for nerfs because she'll probably be too strong, how about you just remove the fucking movement speed buff altogether like you did in the first PBE version which for reasons that shouldn't need to be explained, got a ton of praise.

Maybe a red can enlighten me, but for over 3 years, you've gone out of your way to protect this unnecessary and nonsensical MS buff to the point that despite its removal being suggested and begged for over and over by the Ahri community, who celebrated when you finally considered removing it, you evidently couldn't bear letting it go, so you stuck it back into the kit. Why was this the decision after you got it right the first time?

If ANYTHING is going to change with her when the nerf discussion comes back up, this should be priority number fucking one: remove the heal from her Q, and return her old passive. Now wait! Wait right there! STOP! Don't move the MS passive back to the Q, don't make it conditional with her W, don't allow it to proc off of her 3rd ult charge, fucking kill it, and don't try to bring it back. You would have nailed it right off the bat with the first iteration, but for some reason, you kept trying to force the speed buff back into discussion as if to persuade us that we wanted this. We don't, and reactions, polling, and alternative suggestions demonstrate that clearly. We don't want shitty players taking advantage of a safety net and claiming they're good, plus, I'd think most mid laners wouldn't want to continue trying to set up a gank only to have her throw a random Q out to sprint away from danger, knowing damn well you're better than this player, but they have a safety net to cover for their poor positioning.

Just something to keep in mind since this version is said to be the final iteration before going live...even though it shouldn't be.

People liked the movement speed. They asked for it. That's why it's on the latest iterations on the PBE.

Because Ahri has always made a lot of money, and they don't want to risk her playrate being at a normal level, 'cause she'd make less money then. And when bad players can keep from dying thanks to an MS steroid, why would they get rid of it?

Because mobility is her thing? Changing her passive to the move speed buff helps her reposition outside of just her ult.

It's because a lot of Ahri players were crying that the ms was gone, you know the bad ahri mains and it was actually A LOT of them. So the guy in charge wanted to give us both worlds, which is fine. I respect that but I would definitely like more damage over her being safe when she already is safe. It'll probably get nerfed but we'll see how it is. I hope they finally fix her tails on her model while they're at it but they probably won't ofc.
