Dear Riot, can we have assassin Ahri back?

She's in a decent spot now but it hurts to watch Gold/Plat players try to play her and ult into the enemy team for damage. It was better when she was "trash" and not picked by these supposed "Ahri mains".

Plus her current low damage/range, kite-based playstyle is much less fun then her risker pre-5.2 assassin playstyle because you were punished for wasting ult due to having no other forms of mobility. And W is ludicrously useless other then adding dmg to your ult or picking up stray CS because the range was gutted.

level 9 wat

Her w isnt useless at all, its so easy to bait noobs with it

Say you're in a 1v1, both low low hp, you're going to win most fights if they try to get at you since that w will kill them instantly if they get near, very fking useful. low damage? 300 true damage 300 magic dmg is so low bruh. so low.

Then stop fighting in lane and fight in the jungle like skilled players do.

yeah np, whenever you want to trade in lane, just remember to run into the jungle

trade in lane,

If you are using W to trade with Ahri, you are doing something wrong. Or at the very least if you are hugging their minions too hard.

yeah the current midlane is more of a test of patience of farming rather than the thrills. sad

Not much you can do about that really. If you assume that all champs are balanced and all players are of equal skill, Solo lane becomes a perpetual stalemate. And the only way to break that stalemate is though Jungler assistance.

Assassins are not allowed to farm champions anymore. So they can't be balanced around a feast or famine play style. And thus, why we continue the farm game.
