When People Say Ahri Takes Skill

So her ult gives her 3 dashes (that do damage) Her E makes her do 20% more damage for 5 SECONDS!?! Her Q does True Damage as a mage, that also heals her with her passive. So 20% increased 400 True damage is 80 extra True Damage. Her W is an autoaim ability that does more damage because she never uses it unless she damage "charms" you.

Charm is a level up of stun because it stuns you and you walk towards her in a straight line (perfect True Damage Q)

So she is a Burst Mage that you cannot build MR against, ok Riot- Riot: But wait, she's quite weak so we need to buff her more!!

Okay...

When they gave her Charm the 20% Damage increase, they also took damage out of her Q. The 20% is to incentive full skill hits that always lead off with charm.
Her E has a REALLY SMALL HIT BOX, and moves moderately slowly. It's usually easy to avoid, hitting Ahri hard.
Her Q heal is extremely unreliable, because of how it works. Got to hit 9 targets with skills before it will heal on the NEXT skill.
Her damage scales less than almost any other mid mage, and her range puts her in precarious positions.
Her mobility is sub par vs the champs she generally lanes against ( all have more mobility, and can cross maps/gank better than she can and before she can arrive)
Her Ult damage is low as heck.
Her W usually targets nearby minions, not champs.

.....

You basically have to hit her entire kit to be of any use, and if someone gets hit by both shots of Q, they are either a) right at the end of the Q, or b) They are a bad player.

The champs I mentioned above own her in lane.

I'm not saying she's not viable. But you trying to screen shot a champ and say "just because their kit has this" it's OP without even going through the math, or actually practically thinking about the how it is to play the champ doesn't win you arguments. It just makes you look biased and uninformed.

Where on earth are you getting the idea that she does 400+ true damage in 1 ability? Even at full build, the total damage before resistances would barely hit 400 and only half of that is true damage.

did you just get ass ****ed by a ahri? her q and e is a skill shot btw. also her true dmg only applies on her q when it returns back to her.

"Buff Ahri". It is something I only hear on these boards. She is versatile, but never weak or strong. So Ahri demands the PLAYERS skill to make her do above average.

So the question goes, you want Ahri buffed? Get good first.
