ARE YOU HAPPY RIOT?? AHRI 5.3

Hello fellow summoners and riot personal. This, this is all about Ahri and not just any Ahri but 5.3 Ahri

Now me, im unranked, not the best player have my moment like everyone else but this is a heartache like im literally depressed by the nerf that was pulled on Ahri in the recent patch (patch 5.3). this is from my own experience and probably as im not top of diamond master and challenger ill be undermined till one of those guys there say something similar and get credit for it but that's life.

I feel that the new Ahri lacks Presence people just don't acknowledge her since this nerf. before and i mean way before even before patch 5.2 people were like "damn charm hit me this is the end" now as of patch 5.3 its become "oh i got charmed, no biggie". in recent times if an ahri showed up everyone is like focus her and now she is being ignored really (or at least at my elo lvl) while this may seem like a plus its for the wrong reasons. you want to be ignored cause maybe your to slippery to deal with first or something of the sort. You could walk up in a team fight and the enemy team would disengage or decide there next move carefully but now no one cares, some people actually want to be charmed so that the fight starts and just rek the enemy team or end up getting REKT.

EARLY GAME?!?!?! there no longer is such a thing -____- . she is struggling through early game, no longer can u Q to keep up the cs count as the mana cost is so much that u need to save for trades, ganks, and engages. Aggressive mid laners take advantage of that low mana and go ham on you some people are even deciding To dive an ahri to get the kill cause that once burst ap assassin reking from the time charm lands is no longer there NO ONE RESPECTS HER ANYMORE. i feel that she cant do anything until she gets at least a item 3135 or item 3089 and due to the huge need for mana u wonder which should u get first item 3174 or a item 3165 untill then your just farming trying not to feed doing engages but most likely not getting any kills.

Dont get me wrong i completely understand what you guys (riot) are trying to do by nerfing foxfire and certain moves cause she got so broken in 5.2 that people who started playing her required no skill really you just build rite try to land your charm let it all out and your fine which makes it sad so i get that but dont u think the mana cost was a bit much!??! seeing as that burst that she did is out the mana cost should have stayed the same maybe even drop to compensate for that lack of burst.... i really dont know how she is late game now cause my games with her have never gotten that far cause i keep getting rekt but at least for the early game we need that Q as much as possible in the best way possible

Riot i ask u take a look at hr again see whats happening to others and decide whats what, please and thank u BUT this is just my opinon and feeling on this and up in diamond/ master/ challenger things may be different but down here they suck so guys check the stats.... STATS NEVER LIE

I'm pretty sure Ahri is still fantastic after these nerfs.

Something tells me you didn't play Ahri between 3.13 and 4.12. Her mana situation is fine.

Her win rate is ~51%, with a very high pick rate, whenthe meta has the likes of Annie, Katarina and LeBlanc as FotM. She's still strong.

She had a 57% winrate. She had to get nerfed.

Ahri ,Ahri ,Ahri .... Ahri

I love you, I really do. But you're not OP anymore with a 58% winrate, are you? We had some fun in 5.2....... did we not?

But wait, that means she's balanced and fun to play as without wrecking everyone's solo queue. She feel from a WW-like orbit due to some much needed nerfs. Please give it a week. I've done just fine with her in lane from the past couple days - not a single one lost. I will say lowering that ridiculous 85 mana cost on charm wouldn't be so bad to balance her burst cost. Anyway, the point that no one respects her anyway is in dire need of context and simply isn't true.

Maybe a bit to much hides face

If you watched lcs or played competitive youll see that ahri is busted. Her Q movement and ult makes her uncatchable and her charm = death or a flash then death. She is stupidly strong even after the "nerfs"

When everyone in soloqueue is like ima picking Ahri, heard she is broken, go something like 2/6/0 in the first 20 minutes, then last hits everyone because she is mobile and stops dying and goes back to 10/9/2 and still manages to win the game, I think she is too strong.

People are trash on Ahri, she still has 51% winrate, it means she is way too strong. As soon as trash people stop picking her, she will be balanced.
