ahri is cancer

Bard to Believe··20 votes·2,512 views

don't care what you say to defend her blatantly atrocious kit

its cancer

q has a 215ms boost decaying to 80 on a 7 second cd skillshot that does magic/true damage.

w is fair, needs e to hit otherwise it sucks and more often than not prios minions

e would be fine if not for aforementioned cancer in her q

r is fine because it's her R

but the worst part?

Essence theft

Whenever Ahri hits an enemy with one of her abilities, she gains a charge of Essence Theft 2 Essence Theft, and can gain up to 3 charges per ability cast. Upon reaching 9 charges, her next ability heals her for 3 / 5 / 9 / 18 (+ 9% AP) for each enemy hit

why would you EVER give someone so stupidly mobile the ability to also heal themselves up 36/70/108/206 PLUS 9% of her ap on a standard 6 minion wave.

if you defend that then you have no clue how easy it is to get 9 stacks, and how hard it is to outplay someone so fast with that much sustain built into their kit.

The same reason why all AD Champions get Lifesteal. Lifesteal is worse than Ahri's heal, I can assure you it's more cancer knowing not how to walk left and right, and Ahri's biggest issue isn't actually her kit at all, it's the travel speed of her abilities.

because ahri can't follow you left and right to home her q in on you,

or just dash up into your face because you can react.

or just q, run straight at you and then point blank e you to land second q regardless of how well u dodged.

Yes ahri is a very strong champion but in comparison to some other hated champion (yasuo, lee, graves) her kit has a lot of counterplay. Slight damage nerf would probably enough. Just don't overextend against her because if you do so even your flash can't save you.

Her damage and mobility is probably fine. She needs her mana cost on her Q increased, though, so she has to choose pre-6 whether to use it to harass or wave clear/sustain.

Maybe you are right. But that change will not satisfy the inexperienced players who can't deal with ahri though.

There's no satisfying inexperienced players.

You mean the burst mage assassin with built in MS, 3 dashes, a hard cc charm, and sustain passive is kinda cancerous?

But that's offset by her reliance on skill shots. At least that was Riot's justification a few seasons ago. Times were simpler back then because everyone just sucked and were like "skill shots? wha...."

Skillshots reliant is hardly an argument when you have Hard CC and unconditional mobility like Ahri does.

She just Hits you at point blank range,

And to be honest, she is BARELY skillshot reliant. She doesn't necessarily need to land charm to kill you and 70% of her damage is auto targeted.

It actually baffles me why is this even here. Like...she deserves a better passive and we get this thing that is just a annoyance to deal. Since she is pretty much untouchable, we can give her a window of power passive so she needs to commit or something for a drawback for safe play and as well for rewarding good plays.

...like a reward for hitting your minion wave with a Q is pretty lame from a viewpoint from both sides.

She's getting popular, but I don't think she's busted, honestly. **Minor tweaks at most. **
