Can we either remove or drastically tone down Ahri's movement speed boost on her Q please?

It's just plain overloaded and overkill.

It already is spammable with CDR, deals a good chunk of damage, good range, true damage and is a very good wave clear tool.

Why the fuck would you even add a giant movement speed boost on it? Why the fuck would you remove her weakness of being vulnerable outside of ult or pre-6?

After having played every patch since her release, I'd (And a lot of other people also would) say that her Q MS boost should be bigger but situational rather than every time she launches it.

E.G: Gets huge MS boost that rapidly decays if it hits a champion. It would emphasize her strengths as a kite mage and reward her for hitting abilities, rather than just spamming it to dodge poke.

Rewards should be given for hitting enemy champions, rather than hitting the air.

I'm kind of tired of them nerfing all her other abilities just because the MS exists. I liked playing her a lot more before when she did heavy damage but was slow in the laning phase.

To be fair, it does cost quite a bit of mana, and is fairly easily dodgable. Any Ahri that spams their Q to dodge skillshots will run out of mana pretty fast.

Another level 24 dupe. Am I the only one noticing all these threads complaining about Ahri are made by the same few people and dupes?

After they nerfed her charm and removed DFG I am guessing they saw that she was a squishy underwhelming mage that later in the game did nothing without ult. I think the movement speed it gives is necessary but maybe a bit over the top in lane, good luck ganking or hitting her with a skillshot. I would tone down the movement speed a bit and change her foxfire....its a boring ability.

While agree it should probably be toned down a bit...why are you so salty man? Also, they added that like half a year ago

Its not overkill actually, The MS is necessary because it compensates for the cast time. If she didn't have it, she would have literally been nerfed for DFG getting removed. Her Q ms was the only thing she got in return, her ranges were nerfed on her W and Ult. Ahri is a completely skill based champion that can be easily countered in lane by almost anyone, but in turn, she can win every single lane depending on the skill of the player. She has 2 skillshots, those are her damage just dodge them. Her charm is super easy to sidestep and if you get hit by the first proc of her orb for some reason, you can just sidestep the return. I don't understand where all the Ahri hate came from, until just a few weeks ago no one ever cared about her Q ms. You also neglect to mention that it has a high mana cost compared to most other midlaners without mana sustain.

The only reasonable nerf to her Q that wouldn't completely gut her kiting ability is to make the MS scale with ability level. That way she would have the MS for when she actually starts to kite, like when the laning phase ends. TBH Jg ganks are easy to avoid on any champion, just ward your lane.

ahri is just fine

You can't have it both ways, they nerfed her into the ground to please everyone after DFG removal when they nuked foxfire and Charm dmg amp. If you can't dodge her Q then the issue isn't her but you. The tree dmg only works on coming back and her Q costs a ton of mana. If she runs away from a gank with it that means she's not csing and had to spend mana she needs.

She's an assasin and is supposed to be mobile or have you forgotten Akali Kassadin Katarina Leblanc Swain Talon Vladimir Zed Who're also all mobile and can all counter her.

If they take away the movement speed buff then she'll be fresh meat like she was after DFG removal and they'll have to buff her in another way and we'll come right back to the whining about her being op/broken.

If you think she's so easy then go play her against any of the following Zed Vladimir Viktor Talon Swain Katarina Kassadin Fizz Annie Akali That know how to play and you'll get wrecked every time.

she is a kite mage thats why now stop whining about x champ and learn how to play against it holy shit

There are a lot of unskilled scrubs in this thread.

Just saying.

Why is it always the Katarina or Fizz or assassin players whining about Ahri and not the immobile Syndra, Orianna, Malzahar, Brand or Azir players?

Hmmm.... maybe you should stop picking garbage for midlane and then complaining about a movespeed boost of all things.

As compensation for DFG and Charm losing it's %damage amplification.

FebruAhri9/2/2015, 6:36:39 PM3 votes

People complain about Ahri's mobility when she is specifically made to kite people. But when Zed or LeBlanc nukes your ass in 0.2seconds, it's ok because they're made to kill people.

ahri scales terrible any late game comp can beat her

powerbats9/2/2015, 3:09:51 AM3 votes

I miss clicked on Swain but the point stands she can be beat and she has to burn mana to get away, she can be kited, and wrecked but instead ppl want her basically gutted because if you can't beat her complain she's broken and needs to be gutted. If it's not charm/ult it's her q ms boost. Again she's gated by mana on her q and if you play smart she'll either run out of mana really quickly or have to avoid engaging if you play smart.

Talon, Annie, fizz, Swain, Lb, Galio etc all counter her hard. If you want her MS nuked again you'll get something given back to compensate that you'll complain even more about. I've played Ahri since release as well and after the DFG removal and all the nerfs she was basically a free kill hence they gave her the ms boost to make up for it.

She was difficult at 1st to get used to but once I did she was a lot of fun to play with but I also ran into ppl who knew how to play against her and usually I got wrecked or I had to play so safe it was pretty much the same. If those complaining about her would actually play her and nothing but her they'd see she can be countered.

Get rid of the movement speed and bring back the kiss of death mechanic.
