Can Riot finally take a look at her? She has been too good for way too long and it seems like Riot has just ignored her this whole time. Not a lot champions have been consistently good for as long as Ahri without seeing any changes. It;s like she's the 
of mid lane or something
Ereldra4 votesSo, I'm not going to argue about wether Ahri is too strong in SoloQ and needs nerfs or not. She probably is and will therefore get nerfed at some point. Thats fine, I'm kinda waiting for that for half a year now.
I just want to say, that I really don't like the "LCS"-Argument. The biggest reason that Ahri is coming back is not because shes suddenly super strong but because basically every single strong Midlane-Champion got nerfed over the last 6-9 months. Started with Azir who is now really weak, Viktor was nerfed several times, all the mages from the mid year update (Vladimir, Cassio, Syndra, Malzahar) are nerfed, Lissandra got nerfed, Taliyah after her short dominant phase nerfed, the Assassins from the Assassin Update (Katarina, Leblanc) got nerfed out of pro play (not yet sure about LB but she most likely will atleast no longer be pick-ban), Corki got nerfed, Jayce nerfed, Ryze nerfed, Syndra nerfed and I probably still forgot someone to mention.
So, what is actually left? Orianna is the only strong champ that didn't get nerfed, everything els are basically champs that are either Assassins and therefore only situationally viable for Pro-Play (like Zed, Talon, Ekko, Fizz, Kassadin) since they require certain playstyles and teamcomps or champs that don't really work in Pro-Play (stuff like Annie and Karthus).
So it's not really a suprise that Ahri is beeing played since she is one of the very few champs left that didn't get nerfed, that is a fine blind pick since she can survive almost every lane and that has atleast decent-good waveclear.
If you nerf half of the midlane champion pool, some of them to the point where they are no longer really viable (hello Azir) AND introduce a 10 Ban System it shouldn't be a surprise that a champ like Ahri that was considered not strong enough since she didn't really do anything good enough to pick her over something else is becoming more and more of a priority everytime another champ gets nerfed.
I have no doubt that Riot will nerf her, thats fine, but I really start to dislike this way of balancing. They are nerfing and nerfing and nerfing and everytime a champ like Corki falls out of the meta something else has to take it's place which then gets nerfed too, and something else takes their place until they get nerfed. Give it another half a year and we will have nerfed every single Midlaner until we are back to the starting point... I'd really wish they would start to buff some of the underperforming champs instead of just nerfing everything. It doesn't always have to be big stuff but just some little things like a bit base dmg, Mana-costs or CD changes to champs like Lissandra, Azir, Lux etc. that are too weak right now..
ViiLLAiN3 votesshe hasn't been bad so u think she needs a nerf?
what kind of logic is that?
RlP K0BE4 votes"Not a lot champions have been consistently good for as long as Ahri without seeing any changes"
Ahri has always been a top pick for solo que. Her kit has pretty much no glaring weaknesses.

she doesn't have a lot of burst if she isn't fed lol. anyone who can out burst her or cc her can easily beat her such as syndra, brand, Diana, viktor could just wave clear and ignore her, ziggs can do the same so many things ahri is good at that other can take advantage of
Glock 193 votesIve played over 1000 games with ahri. shes been nerfed a bunch of times since I started playing with her several years ago. shes fine where she is at and essentially comes down to skill based matchups. she does have several hard counters that shut her out. no big deal. quit whining because you cant lane against her. nb
Kukan Seishin1 votes:D Hi fellow Ahri main
Packun Flower2 votesAhri isin't really all that strong, just annoying to fight in lane.
But we do know riot is prone to making sure that only certain champions are played in the LCS. Now that she's seeing some more pro play they'll probably hit her with a few nerfs to make sure she doesn't step foot in the light of Esports and take the spotlight from all time favorites like 
to name a few.
Handy Sandy 1 votesI think the reason why they're hesitating is because she has counterplay since her 2 main sources of damage are skillshots and has counterplay as well as outplay potential. The only thing that's wrong with her is that she's like Leblanc being a kiting mage as well as an assassin for some reason.
EndlessSorcerer2 votesshe's like Leblanc being a kiting mage as well as an assassin for some reason.
Blame damage creep.
At this point, the main difference between damage among mages is the degree of overkill.
Her damage used to be noticeably lower than other mages in exchange for her mobility.
Hawckey1 votesAhri is actually a fun mid laner to play against though, you can tell you've been outplayed when she kills you and it's pretty easy to predict what she will do
RlP K0BE4 votesPlaying back, farming with range and using her ult whenever they get into some trouble isn't that fun to me. Or using her ult to get into range so she can't possibly miss her skill shots isn't too fun either.
CzapLaaaaa3 votesHer ult is mainly used to reposition so she can land those skillshots in the first place.
Should we also punish aggressive ezreal players using their blinks to get in melee range Q? Or a blitzcrank popping his W to run within a much shorter range to throw his hook at you for almost 100% hook or burn flash to not die? Should we punish any champion for using the tools in their kit to get shit done?
Ahri is not the only champ that can do this you know what a stupid point.
Hawckey1 votesLol every mage plays back, it's still better than oppressive Talon, Kat, Lb lanes where you are forced to stay under tower for the entire laning phase. Ahri only has kill potential early if she lands her e which is pretty hard to land assuming you are playing safely. Everything in her kit is avoidable aside from R > W which will never kill you by itself
Lugg1 votesAhri and Lee both need major nerfs. I'm talking like the old Kassadin nerfs where he wasn't played for two years.
