Who wants to bet that when Ahri gets nerfed they won't revert the charm change

That would mean that Riot acknowledged that they made a mistake, so instead of nerfing the problem that is her charm they will probably do some other inconsequential nerf lol

the point of that change was to make her less of a kite mage and more of the assassin she was meant to be and that people enjoyed more. That is why she gave up the extra mobility in exchange for the extra damage when she lands a charm. It also rewards her for landing it and punishes her for missing it

That's exactly what happened with Ornn so yes I can see that happening.

You mean the 20 percent damage amp change?

That wasn't really the problem, this was the best buff they could have given her without breaking her.

If you're referring to her most recent charm change, then yes, I agree.

They literally just had an Ask Riot where they answered "Why do you nerf them in a different way instead of just reverting the buff?". Go read that.

To be honestly it shows how she wasn't that bad to begin with.... Oh right she had a 51% win-rate and they buffed her.

Riot refusing to revert buffs and instead nerfing good aspects of champions is probably responsible for why champions are so "hard to balance."

You couldn't criticize Ahri before, despite her problems, because she demanded that you commit to your Charm casts. That's how I knew I was facing a good Ahri versus an "ok" one.

If you didn't think Charm was going to land and it did, you had yourself to blame for not following up with your other abilities. This buff just allows a mediocre player to pick her, throw down charm, and reap all the benefits of a mobile assassin with minimal risk.

I'm guessing it'll be a nerf to Ludens rather than a nerf to ahri.

I'll put $600 on nerfing literally everything except Charm over the course of three years.

They will then nerf Charm to its previous functionality and revert half the other nerfs, and when she inexplicably ends up underpowered after this, they'll add more dashes to her Ult at higher ranks, restarting the cycle.
