Like, is Ahri really that bad? Aren't her mana costs a huge gate for her? I don't understand how she's being seen as broken...

from what I'm seeing, most people are mad about the Q speed. They can halve it or something. That's fine. Maybe add on an extra 5 or 10 seconds to her ult CD. If Riot actually cares to do that. I know I wouldnt. Seems like a lot of bandwagon shit to me.

It never dissapeared. Ahri is on same cancer level as LB and Riven since her "compensation for DFG removal".

How this bullshit can still sit under Riot radar i dont even. Maybe cause there are champions and "champions".

LB: Just as mobile, higher damage combos, no cost to ult, lower CD ult (fucking 40 seconds at level 6 with no CDR)

but okay, she's just as bad lmao

Her damage is not high, its middling. Mages such as Velkoz Viktor Anivia are high damage mages, assassins such as Talon Diana Leblanc have more burst power. Seige mages like Lux and Azir can do as much or more damage as she does with greater range. Mages like Cassiopeia and Malzahar do more damage over time.

Ahri's a generalist, so she's a pretty solid pick in most situations. But I wouldn't pick her into teams with good targetted stuns. Champions like Annie and Maokai . Her short ranges are a bad combination with another short range adc as well.

this is a really good explanation. Also, she's a kiting mage, so that's her little niche. Pick her if you want to lure enemies into traps or just whittle down their health as you go. I think people tend to forget her intended role.

Actually Ahri damage is not high at all, since most of diamond players wouldn't get hit by ahri's true damage of q, it is ridiculous that it takes so much time for ahri to hit true damage while most of other champs can hit every skills instantly.

Even if ahri hit "all the skills" to the same level champ, most of them wouldn't really die with ahri's damage.

High mobility? <- but very weak HP

High damage ? NOT TRUE AT ALL, AHRI CAN"T BEAT almost none at mid if comparing only damage.

Low cooldown? In teamfight, you usually only can use q,e once, and w twice, and everyone can use ult only once. Not really low cooldown.

High late game assassinations???? Ahri can't kill anyone by oneshot in late game, unless somehow adc roams alone and get charmed like bronze.

High utility???? Compare with other champs.

After several updates,

All Ahri's stat becomes "middle ranged". Nothing really especially good, thus no one really picks her to carry.
