Here is why I hate Ahri

Don't get me wrong, this is not a QQ thread. Starting from the base, Ahri is a mage who dominated the mid lane meta for almost all the season, with incredibly high winrate/pickrate, a super versitile mage who actually got a lot of love from Riot. Yep. Why is this champion so loved?Because she has one of the biggest fan base in the entire game, a shit ton of skins when there are champion with 1 or 2 skins, and there are changes to be done even if we talk about balance, but only utility imo. Talking about balance, why is Zyra, an immobile champion without any kind of dash/blink or move-speed buff got 325 movespeed?And why has Ahri 330 with 3 dashes and a flat movespeed buff?But these are balance things, what I say is that she has got too much love from riot when there are champion who NEEDS attention, both talking about skin and in-game feelings. For me it's just unfair that Ahri is so loved, but I think you got me.

EDIT For all the QQ thread about Ahri's balance, she's completely balanced, she's just annoying cos of her high safety/poke/decent damage/sustain/mobilty/high-cc and AoE true damage. But I do think she needs some changes tho, but not now. Now Riot needs to focus on old champs and other champ's balance.

Just saying, if I could make some changes on Ahri I would make the Q movespeed buff scaling instead of flat, and probably a cooldown between every dash (Nothing big, like 0,5 or probably less :P)

EDIT There is already a cooldown between every dash, my bad

riot can't do anything, they didn't want to nerf lee sin because of fear of retaliation, any changes to any champion is usually cause for hostility, but with popular champions that backlash is worst, do you remember when veigar got his rework and everyone got upset, veigar wasn't even that popular compartively, any rework usually is condemn as a complete failure by players. its change the game and we riot vs don't touch the game and we riot, their is literally nothing they can do because our community are just a bunch of hive minded shit eaters that are the cancer that is killing the game.

I agree, we as players, we think of balance, and why it should be done, or attention, or whatever the fuck you want, Riot thinks first of all of business, then there are popular champions, and then the balance. Weird tho

Ahri has the nidalee syndrome. Chunks your hp from far away. If you try to engage the engage is bad, she can E , Q and ult away. If you engage and she can kill you, she will burst you. Just like nidalee and Q/takedown. Both have some sustain and are mobile. Mobility and siege/poke are things that should never walk together. When you negate the poke greatest weakness ( hard engage), you have a broken kit.

pretty sure nida is actually way more strong than Ahri, nidalee has all what ahri has got but better.

And why has Ahri 330 with 3 dashes

I don't like her Q's MS boost, but her 3 dashes is her ultimate ability. It's not nearly as spammable as, er let's go with Leblanc, Zed, and Riven as examples of mobility. Her three dashes are perfectly fine imo, since they're tied to her ult. But the Q MS boost is just... weird. I don't like it. If they took it off, I'd like playing Ahri and against her more.

I would post a serious comment but since I main Ahri people would just say I'm biased.

edit: The Q movespeed is scaling, it starts at 205 and decreases to 80 over 0.5s. It's not the same buff for the whole duration. Unless you wanted the max speed to scale with ability rank? Also there is a cooldown between dashes.

For the Q yes, I mean the speed to scale with the rank. For the dashes there is the cast time, but there is not a cooldown, I am almost sure..

There is kind of an internal cooldown, she can't use any abilities during the spirit rush animation, and that animation only ends like 0.5s after the actual dash. If you go into a custom and spam RRRRRRRRRR you will notice it.

There is a 1 second cooldown between her dashes. It's in her patch notes.
