How the Ahri nerfs affect her builds and playstyles

So, lots of buzz around Ahri's nerfs and I wanted to clarify a couple things that will help determine just how much these changes affect her.

Spirit Rush is going up 20 seconds at rank 1. In raw power that's simply more time to punish her for not having her ultimate up. It's going to be a lot more impactful to burn her ultimate early (and it already is) so ask your jungler for help or something. In terms of safety, this is a pretty decent nerf.

When it comes to aggro play (assuming Ahri/her team is winning), that's a wave longer she needs to wait between roams. You'll probably rarely feel this in low elo games.

Builds

Electrocute - Core for an electrocute build is Luden Morello Zhonya's (unless you're fed, then you can get a Deathcap) or Luden Protobelt -> other items. Electrocute builds also run ultimate hunter so this really does fuck-all. By the time you get a Luden's you probably have 2-3 stacks on Ult Hunter so... yeah. Maybe 12-13 seconds of actual impact at level 8-9. Really not the end of the world unless you're playing balls-to-the-walls, ult off CD.

Glacial Augment - Most common path is Twin Shadows into GLP, you'll HAVE to reverse it since you get your first item (Twin Shadows) around level 7. Twin Shadows is only 10% CDR and having to wait that long for more CDR feels bad. On top of that, you're not getting Ult Hunter. Almost the full 20 seconds will be felt. GLP into Twin Shadows will probably be the superior path after this change to get the CDR ASAP.

tl;dr this build nerfs two things.

1. Nerfs the "I'm getting carried" playstyle of safely ulting away every time things go south. She'll be much weaker in lane to assassins, and I think her winrate will drop a good 1-1.5% in low elo games.

2. Nerfs the Glacial Augment build. This build is better in high elo but the nerfs aren't so impactful they take away from any of her viability. A 400 gold item powerspike (1 minute later) isn't huge unless your name is Viktor and you desperately need the item. Besides, this means you get an early revolver and if you're running Glacial something tells me you'd like the opportunity to be rewarded for autoing.

Estimated winrate drop in high elo? 0.5% at max, I personally think it'll be half that.
