An actual post on the state of Ahri's kit and not just whining/complaining

and sarcastic ass posts for free upvotes, I'm getting REAL tired of looking at all you little cretins.

Anyway as someone who's played a boatload of Ahri, I can probably pick out the actual discrepancies from the whiny complaints. So, on to her kit:

Passive: this one is a tricky one. While I don't know if an assassin should have sustain like this (even with the nerf), i'm not sure what else to trade it for. back to this in a moment.

Q: this is probably the one thing most people have a problem with. The MS boost either needs to be toned down or removed, as it made her very reliable in lane, whether it was escaping or engaging. I'd like to see it toned down, mostly because it's great for repositioning. If it was removed, that wouldn't be the end of the world for her.

W: fine. nerfed range, so she needs to get in close to use it.

E: people cry about this one, and I gotta say it's super unfounded. It's her only CC, it's not a short CD, and it's not inexpensive (especially in lane phase). "oh but she uses it to escape" yeah, so does every other damn mage with CC? Don't make false equivalences here. Now, on the other hand, if you're talking about the E + Q escape combo, yes, I get it. But that's the MS boost, not charm.

R: A signature ability on Ahri. The only thing I'd touch on this is maybe up the CD a little bit, since it's acquisition range was nerfed (like W). Maybe 115/100/85. If the MS on Q is removed, this is as high as it should go. R is her engage, chase, kiting, and escape. I wouldn't mess too much with it.

Now, the passive on Ahri is both problematic and not, because of how it works. The sustain she got was nerfed, which was definitely an actually balanced decision. She also needs to use mana to set it up (and that's 150 mana at minimum with 3 W's). On the other hand, it can make her hard to kill, although I'm sure if the Q ms boost was removed, it wouldn't be that much of a problem.

But if we were to trade in another passive, what would it be? I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
