Nice, very nice. So you decided to lower Ahri's skillcap. A tactic that was absolutely mandatory to win lane against champions like LB and Diana, and it was no easy task. I could have dealt with a numerical nerf, and it would be fair, but you actually decide to change her kit in a way that rewards skilled players less? Together with the change that makes Alistar's combo impossible to screw up, I get the feeling the game just wants to please the casuals now. What's next, a nerf to Zed where hitting additional Qs will do no extra damage?

I for one am livid. The Nerf isn't needed. It's a little trick for skilled Ahri's to master. And requires a lot of focus to predict dashes to charm-inturrpt them in the middle of dashes. Match ups like leblanc fizz will be come that much harder when Ahri is already at the mercy of these champions for various reasons(to which is off topic).

Also, this can't be just Ahri. Morgana Q when timed right can stop dashes, Thresh Hooks, Xerath E, Cass R, Naut Hooks, elise, the list goes on. If Riot is trying to target ahri's ability to inturrpt dash abilities. They need to check into every champion with hard cc and mark it as a bug. It takes practice and timing to cancel someone's abilities with hard CC just Ahri is the one who actually practices this method of inturrption, since it's another little trick that is actually skilled.

... Eh... Seemed more like an inconsistency in her kit as opposed to legitimate power budget.

Yeah that doesn't seem like a very well thought out nerf (not that I think she needed on in the first place).
