Ahri

Oh boy. What a mess this champion is. She literally makes midlane unplayable whenever the enemy team picks her. Where to start? Let's start with her Q, which does true damage. Why? The last thing we need is abilities that trivialize true damage. It's supposed to be a special thing, and yet it's wasted on things like her Q. Like we need anything else to make this game a joke. Her Q is a joke and it does joke amounts of damage. Her W isn't too much of a problem, I'll give her that. But then there's her E. I realise that there's supposed to be something that goes with her character of being a seductress, but let's not sacrifice gameplay for story, okay? The amount of time spent charmed by her E is ridiculous and should be halved at best. Slow gameplay is a good thing, but only if it doesn't go on for too long. And then there's her ult. 150 damage for every rush, up to 450 base damage, PLUS dealing with one that has item 3285 item 3165 ? Forget it, you're done. This champion is the definition of UN-FUN. She should never be allowed to be strong, and yet here she is, on top of the meta. Straight up deleting her would be the best course of action, but since people like her and especially her skins for obvious reasons, that can't happen. Make her the Lucian of mid instead. Lower the AP scaling on her abilities, but make her mobility boost from using her Q more. That way she can harass the lane, CS where needed and NOT be a pain in the ass. Problem solved!

I'm glad I can help Gameplay and Balance out in seeing where the real problems in League of Leigons are.

Yea. lots of champs to fix, but Ahri is fine. Learn how to sidestep, and develop better reaction time, and ur good. She is somewhat reliant on charm, so dodge that and you are good to go. Don't forget, you also need to be counter-attacking, and sidestepping is most important vs her. Dodge Q and E. don't try to out range. Good Luck.

Tips to beat an Ahri:

  1. Step to the left. Her skill shots are easily dodged.
  2. Play from a distance. Mid is for mages with ranged spells. If you are getting destroyed as a mid-lane melee fighter, that's on you for going against the meta.
  3. Work with your jungler to kite while playing passively under turret. Ahri is squishy and can't turret dive.
  4. Play Ahri. Learn her weaknesses from the inside.

Hope this helps!

Diana doesn't belong in mid o_0? Or other assassins (FizzKatarinaAkali) ?

I gotta agree with the 4th one, however.

Ahri destroys assassins.

True. But what you said is that assassins don't belong in the mid lane.

They don't. They belong in the jungle.

That..that's pretty false. Assassins can be midlaners, they just need the right tools and player skills to avoid being poked to death.

In short exactly what assassins have

They don't. They belong in the jungle.

Have you tried Katarina jungle? Zed jungle? How about Ahri jungle? She's classified as an assassin, y'know?

And Avantels right. Though in my ElO the other laner and I usually poke each other around the same. Helps when they suck at landing their skillshots, and you only have 1 lowcost, easy-to-hit, pierces minions and champions, ability that you use Diana .

If you poke me, your asking to eat a Q, or if I'm 6 or higher, a Q+R+W+E+auto's combo. I'm guessing you won't want to stick around after that to wait for my second Q+R. And Stormraider's makes retreating actually dignified (instead of eating skillshots).

But Ahri does pretty well against assassins because she can use her charm when they jump on her face.

Oh look a dupe.

There are many champions in the game that Riot needs to look at. I simply don't want to overload Gameplay and Balance with one long post detailing issues with every single champion in the game. They'd just get bored and ask for a TL;DR!

Oh yeah, you got me! Sorry about that, I'm watching Kaceytron stream right now and she said Legions and I got distracted. Legends, you're right!
