Ahri Nerfs

Hi I'm a Silver 4 mid lane main. Right now, I see Ahri a LOT in ranked, and I always feel so useless when playing against her. Sure, there are some ways to counter her, but I feel like she's REALLY strong, even when not fed. Maybe its just me, but I feel forced to take cleanse when playing against Ahri to make sure I don't get caught by that charm which lasts an eternity!

Also, the mobility her ult provides makes me feel completely powerless when I need to hit just 1 skillshot to kill her. I've had multiple instances where she would charm me, activate her ult, and even though I cleansed the charm I just couldn't hit her except with basic attacks (I was playing Orianna at that moment).

So, basically what i'm trying to say is:

  • Her charm lasts too long
  • Her ult is up too often
  • Her mechanics are too easy for the amount of damage she puts out

So, better nerf Irelia

But forreal, please at least take a look at Ahri in the upcoming patch and don't look at her win rates in competitive like you seem to do in almost EVERY patch these days Riot -_-

That's all, good luck in solo queue and stop playing tryhard champs!

They look Plat+. If she is overperforming, there will be nerfs. If it's just Bronze, they don't care, and rightfully so.

They already nerfed her charm to the dirt compared to what it used to be. She is in a balanced state. If you play a non mobile champion like Orianna against Ahri, you wont have a good time unless you harass pre-6. Learn to stay behind minions so you don't get charmed. I played her very exclusively in season 5 and I'm telling you she isn't nearly as strong. She's not very hard to play against and for the most part you can almost tell where she is going to dash next for her. Cleanse is garbo unless its against a heavy cc team. Barrier will suit you better.

If she isn't dumpstering people in high elo than she isn't worth looking at really.

well from what I can tell from your match history is that all u seem to play is kat with the odd few games on other champs like Orianna and AurelionSol. Which ahri is ment to shit shit on those champs and as for all the kat games if she gets her charm on u when u go in well your fucked as well which is kind of the point of her charm

Im not à reference, but why you pick oriana against ahri? Oriana kit is, I think, a little difficut to use against even immobile champs cause they can still walk and avoid the q, but ahri... Ahri is one of the most mobile champ and have been crafted on that qualitie. For that reason, I think that ahri can be a counter to oriana. If I understand the counter définition, at same skill level, the counter win. That's why the countered think that the counter is op. For exemple, Annie is suppose to counter ahri effectively by instacast and point and click cc. Give it à try! :) EDIT: And btw ahri is à 1v1 champ, while oriana is à tf oriented champ.

Literally the single most picked Mid-Laner while being amongst the top win-rates. This is Plat+ btw

Ahri has been broken as fuck since forever, but half the board plays her, so they dont want nerfs. Been like this ever since the DFG compensation.

She is a lot like pre-nerf Jinx when Gameplay would defend her +30% pick-rate with +55% win-rate.
