Why are we buffing ahri?

Ranmaru··6 votes·1,723 views

And not any of the other mages that actually need it like orianna azir syndra karthus galio viegar lissandra ziggs lux jayce velkoz why are we buffing the mage thats at a 49% winrate when we have things like karma with 45% winrates

a 49% winrate with a 5% pickrate is not bad

it's a small early game buff. Nothing too major.

it's an easy buff to make so might as well add it soon you know? It's not like she's receiving many changes like karma might get soon™

Because they felt she can do a little better in this meta

up that 49% winrate to 50% so they just do an easy buff

they shoulda just left her as is before all the nerfing a couple years back, y'know, back when her charm could cancel a dash and her Q gave a 10-15% speed boost

Why don't we buff teemo's damage but also give him a role so that he can be as strong as ahri, ahri was strong on her rework release, Teemo has never been "Over powered"

idk

Maybe because different champ with different kit where different buffs will affect them and the meta differently?

again, different champ need different things. They felt those buffs were enough for Ahri so they put it right now and somewhere down the line they'll buff the other champs that need it

Why nerf any problem champion when Aatrox exists?

Why buff Jinx or Twitch when Caitlyn is far worse off?

Rickless said after her minirework that if she's not doing well then they'd buff her. She's not doing too well in the meta and has a hard time having an impact on games so Riot buffed her.

It's literally that simple. Stop with this, "Why does Ahri get this but x doesn't" shit. She hasn't been good for a while now, hasn't gotten any skins, any buffs, any news on her for a while, it gets really old when Boards has been doing this shit since before it was even boards.

Worst part is I know you don't actually care about those champions because if you did you'd know that Liss is getting a new passive this patch, Karma is getting changes, Vel'Koz and Viktor are getting (albeit negligible) buffs, Lux got buffed until you low elos couldn't handle her, Karthus was monstrous with funnel, and Orianna got buffs last patch + is meta.

The only nerf she got since her rework was the sweeping changes to mid lane main users, lol.

You really are ignorant, aren't ya?

The amount of time it lasted isnt a nerf?

By the way going to my other posts and downvoting them and being toxic while replying to them isn't helping your case, Ahri got un needed buffs for no reason

I don't downvote and I rarely upvote.

Also, Ahri went from 51% winrate pre-rework to 49% post-rework when they said they were going to make her feel a lot more playable and impactful. That didn't happen so Rickless was making good on a promise he made.

And circling back to what I said earlier, I really think it's funny how circlejerky people get here when Ahri gets attention. "Why are they buffing Ahri when other mages need it more?" They're literally looking at buffing all/almost mages, and if you read patch notes or Gameplay thoughts by Meddler, you'd know that.

Cass just got buffs, Viktor got buffs, they're trying to buff Syndra and Annie, Ori got buffs and is back in meta. Corki got huge buffs and Liss is getting a new passive as well. Pull your head out of the dirt.

Sigh any time you try to tell anyone who plays ahri that ahri isnt underpowered they legit start crying, my point is ahri wasnt in need of buffs and before you call me biased look who I main, A terrible mage and the worst mage, So no im not a biased assassin main But you are indeed biased, Ahri hasnt been weak since her rework and has been average with a good pickrate why are we buffing that? Ahri should not have as much damage as someone like annie since annie has no mobility and mediocre burst meanwhile ahri has medicore damage and insane mobility.

They will also buff Karma and probably some of those mages, but I have no idea why youd buff Ahri besides the fact that its Ahri kek

Its funny how triggered these ahri players got because someone thought that a champion with a higher win rate than all these other champions purely based on the fact that they have the most toxic and biased mains

Ziggs is trash and is badly in need of buffs to be made viable. (Level 7 Ziggs)
