What Happened?

So, why is Ahri the new FOTM thing to whine incessantly about? She hasn't gotten any changes and I haven't seen her win or pick rate spike at all. And yet here we are, this whole board is spontaneously filled with Ahri threads. lol~

Did you guys get bored of whining about Vayne already? I expected a good one or two more weeks of that before it finally died down.

There is a constant rotation of 3 champs that will top the "Bitch list" - it changes from month to month, but someone will always complain about a champ, and depending on the mobs fickle nature they will bandwagon.

I created this thread about whining and kept the "Bitch list" updated for a while, then got tired of doing so.

She's had it for a while now. And yet suddenly everyone turns their attention to it out of nowhere. Why did it just now become a problem to everyone on the boards simultaneously? Seems like bandwagoning to me, I bet half of the people complaining about her didn't even have a problem with Ahri until they started seeing other people's posts.

do you live in a rock? most people have always complained about ahri but ahri mains keep downvoting threads so they don't get seen and they leave 0 evidence of QQ threads to prevent nerfs

I usually check the boards multiple times a day, and the only time I've seen more than 3 Ahri posts on the Frontpage / Gameplay and Balance boards is the days following immediately after the DFG compensation.

Sorry but it's really hard to see this sudden burst of Ahri hate as anything but bandwagoning and people trying to fit in by hating on whatever has been deemed cool to hate. And I can't give any merit to someone hating on something just because other people are, even if all the points are valid.

Unfortunately that makes up like some 70%-ish of the posts here, and it's why I have trouble taking these boards seriously.

Being serious here, Ahri is due for some changes; at this point nerfing or buffing her won't do much.

After those buffs she got she became way too safe during laning phase, she has an anti-engage/anti-dive charm and sustain and a pretty meaningful MS boost from her Q which removed her previous weakness which was pre-6 laning due to the fact that she had no mobility pre 6.

Good question. If you complained about her last week, you would get downvoted to oblivion in a second.

The Nerf Bandwagon has just left Riven Station. The next stop is Ahri Station. Stand clear of the closing doors

Vayne hasn't received any changes recently either.

Vayne, Ahri, Riven, and other champions people complain about have always been good. They aren't like Skarner or Gangplank, who were overpowered for only 1 or 2 patches.

A large group of players have already been hating these 20%+ pick rate with 52 to 53%+ win rate champions because these champions have been dominating SoloQ since the beginning of the season or even further back.
