Before you go and olaf another champion by hitting it with a bunch of random nerfs that are just going to the make the champion annoying to play overall why not just remove the buff that everyone seems to be complaining about and no one who actually played wanted.

I dont see how nerfing her mana and spell range serves a valid purpose when riot just finished giving a few QoL buffs to compensate her post 5.2 on things like W and R. The MS on Q just seems like such a pointless and out of the blue buff tacked on to ahri that the first thing that went through my head when I saw it was that CertainlyT probably headed up the changes himself.

no, if certainlyT was head of the changes on Ahri, her R would deal %max hp damage true damage.

I love her new changes. Also they slightly lowered the mana cost on Q in pbe today. It's still slightly higher than live, but it's deserved.

So I don't know why you're complaining.

In unrelated news, I beat the last 3 Zeds I've faced too in the past week. Man that champion is sooooo over-powered. /s

How about they don't entirely remove the move speed buff, but switch it to her w? Currently it's easily her least interesting and least important skill. They can also then play with its cd and cost more, because giving it a longer cd or higher mana cost would affect Ahri's play style less than limiting her Q spammability. They could then also make the move speed increase by leveling w, if they wanted to limit her early game mobility and give incentive to level w early. Her Q is currently rather overloaded, and I think she would improve if they spread the power budget around to other parts of her kit.

CertainlyT wouldn't know what to do with Ahri, but you know who does? THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY PLAY AHRI.

Yet their feedback doesn't seem to matter to Riot, as she's getting worse and worse with each PBE cycle.

I would vastly prefer Q mana nerfs and W range nerfs over Q MS nerfs. Ahri Q was 90 mana for most of my history playing the champion and it was fine. The new W mechanics make the button really reliable and it honestly feels OP.

Meanwhile, the Q MS buff is unique and super fun to play with. Don't remove unique utility. It's a core design principle.

I love the MS boost... She feels so smooth with this and the other changes to ult, cast time etc. Personally I really hope they don't remove it..

How bout they just revert the changes? It's that simple lol, but no ones got a clue, just more pointless changes that make no fucking sense

I actually really enjoyed the ms on q. Made it fun, and made thematic sense because she's a slippery foxy lady.

The move speed boost is nice, but i think they gave her a bit too much damage after the DFG removal. Don't get me wrong, i enjoy playing her alot more now (i hated dfg), but she is a bit strong.

The w range nerfs tho? Those will make her feel clunky.
