Super surprized that they're buffing ahri

Since she can 100 to 0 somebody with only a athenes/morrello. So glad they're buffing an already broken mobile champ into an even more broken mobile champ. hoo raw to always having to ban ahri now.

Last I checked, reducing a champion's damage output by 44% isn't considered a buff. Or is this Bizarro World and everything is backwards here?

they nerfed the hell out of her by removing her charm amp

the movespeed on Q is just a cute quality of life change to confuse people with.

Is she really 100-0? I mean they removed the raw damage amp (ahri has good dmg already) but I wasn't expecting her to do that still xD I know she is going to see a lot of competitive play with that Q change for sure! People underestimate mobility.

The exact same words were said about Sona after the 4.13 nerfs. Thus far, her pro win-rate has failed to go above 0% since and yes, she's been played multiple times.

Sona and ahri are 2 different factors. Ahri is already getting spamed by a lot of pros and Koreans. Sona has always been a smash your keyboard type of champion, and her counters are the dominant supports (Leona, thresh, blitz) who get picked like 90% of the time in every freaking game. plus ahri has always had a pretty solid and strong kit (mobility, best Cc in game and pretty decent damage) sona just got picked because of her burst potential CDs (which is why the nerfs were main y focused on her damage potential Q and passive)

Mobility is a really strong stat that most people under look.

Last I checked buffing a champs mobility and damage isn't a nerf. removing the 20% extra damage on E doesn't mean much when you consider all of the extra AP scaling and base damage she now has. Charm needs to be reworked into something like a taunt and her ult cd needs to be raised since she can use it 2-3 times a fight. an Ahri can already 100 to 0 you without charm as long as she hits that Q for a ridiculous 600+ true damage (oh baby, I smell balanced).

it does maybe 300 true damage MAX at level 18

I just played around 5 or so games with ahri and have to say that's a lie. I even one shot an annie and orianna using only Q, 900 magic damage and 1100 true damage. super fair damage that riot should in no way tweak. kappa

so you're telling me an ability with 140 base damage and a 35% AP scaling did 1100 true damage in one cast. Unless my math skills have completely abandoned me, she would need about 3000 AP for that to happen which afaik is only possible for thresh and veigar to reach
