Is Ahri's kit healthy for the game?

According to Riot's designs, Ahri seems to be a low risk high reward champion. I am not complaining but just curious because I sometimes likes to design champion. Want to know Riot's thought on these.

I don't even understand why they needed to give her Q that damn mobility. DFG offered insane burst and indeed was a toxic Item that a lot of champions rushed. But Riot went completely over board by giving Her Q that speed buff. All that she needed was DAMAGE COMPENSATION. She obviously had her own thing going for her before the whole DFG removal.

A lot healthier than many.

Well, Ahri belongs to that weird Mage-Assassin hybrid which often makes champs have the decent early game of a Mage while having the snowball potential of an Assassin. Same applies to LeBonk. The concept of ranged + high mobility is just bullshit overall.

She's a furry thus is disgusting by default. Gut the freelo fox.

I really do not seethprolem. Her kit is designed to synergize with her q:e to line up aperfect q,r for positioning. I've never felt the rage that isfelt by laning against say, heimer or annie.

Come on guys, Ahri's not that ba-

You have been slain @ 6 minutes

she's fairly high risk/high reward, not sure what makes people think that isn't the case.

Yea, i absolutely hate playing againts her. You can't engage, and get the kill, she simply ults away. And if she wasn't mobile enough, her q gives her extra mobility.

Well she's low risk-high reward when her ult's up. But when it's down she's way easier to catch even with the MS boost on her Q (Which STILL makes no sense if you ask me :P)

Manwalrus8/28/2015, 1:22:47 PM3 votes

In a word. No. She's the jack of all trades, mobility, burst, cc, AOE damage and true damage, not to mention sustain. Allow me to ask, what is she bad at?

Gregor Gysi8/28/2015, 2:03:41 PM3 votes

Safe mage, there is no problem kitwise. She is simply overtuned, but that's going to get fixed sooner or later seeing how she succeeds in soloQ AND teamranked/proplay.

so many broken champs and you choose ahri wtf is wrong with people she is balanced she is good at many things but doesnt excel at anything her early game damage is meh and at 6 she cant even all in you without hitting at least 2-3 q's (which is not hard to dodge) unlike other champs Annie Diana Fizz Zed that can just go in at any time with way more damage she is one of the safer picks i agree but her burst isnt even as high as leblancs or annies + she is skillshot oriented so stop these unnecessary qq threads

Ahri hur dur im 0-20 but still relevant since i have true damage, a broken charm, and half my kit is point and click with mobility

Ahri has been the top assassin for several patches now, but people don't really care. She is a pretty easy champ to play and has a high win rate to go with it. As a Rengar main, I fucking hate her.

I've literally never felt like she was too good or too hard to lane against. Ahri is more about opportunity and picking the right time to strike than straight brute force. She can't simply disregard the enemy laner or jungler and go all in, either.

You can beat her with a LOT of champs.

The Bíg Ticket8/28/2015, 2:03:58 PM1 votes

No...she is probably the easiest midlaner in the game with a ridiculous winrate despite being picked by all the 15 year olds who fap to her splash in the loading screen. Completely freelo, play her if you wanna get diamond.

Would you chase a singed over half the map? No? Then why do you chase Ahri, who's thing is to kite people?

Because Ahri straight up doesn't have enough damage to kill you unless you get hit by multiple rotations of spells

In order to do anything with Ahri you need to land E. And if you let me poke you with my Q when i'm wave clearing, that's your fault. Regardless of my 1 second speed boost, it has like a .25s cast time and if I'm cc'd during it I don't get to run. The Mobility QQ is pointless.

I think the kit itself would be rather healthy - but currenty there´s still too much dmg on w and r, allowing her to all in squishies without hitting her skillshots.

Decrit8/28/2015, 3:06:40 PM1 votes

As far as i know she is high risk high reward for being an assassin mage ( in the sense safe for an assassin, risky for a mage ) with a fallback patter to contain cases where she can' t manage safety at all.
