#Essence Theft (Passive) healing changed to [3/5/9/18 at level 1/6/11/16] from [2 + (1x Level)]

Is Ahri OP again? If so, that's news to me. In any case, why are we nerfing her right now?

Constant 54% win-rate and 20% popularity through multiple patches. Op or nah?

She is a Fox. She deserved compensation item 3070

because people are constantly crying about her win rate and her pick rate. I'm fine with tuning her here and there. As long as they don't wreck her.

Yet most people don't realize her counters or ways to deal with her. When you take away your mobility you can destroy her. This is why me and many others ran things like Lissandra against ahri back before they nerfed lissandra.

I wish riot would stop doing these knee jerk reactions and let the meta try and fix itself. I mean the tank meta was a big deal and people miraculously started playing vayne. Its almost like vayne does really well against champs that build a lot of health. Way too many times players almost look to Riot to nerf things they don't like instead of finding solutions to it.

I've never had a problem fighting an Ahri before, tbh. She has safety and outplay potential, but it's not like she's that hard to fight. It's generally pretty obvious when she's gonna use her Q or her charm.

They want to make her more vulnerable to poke, I guess.

It's weird passive for mage/assassin tbh.

You call that a nerf? This changes nothing since you cant even touch her..

Nerf? More like a joke.

It's the same as the "nerfs" to Nid, Fizz, Yas, Jinx, Ekko, Gnar, Kat, etc. They aren't even noticeable in game but Riot can now say they nerfed them.

That is the entire purpose.
