PSA: Ahri has not dipped below 50% winrate in the past two years.
Allow that to sink in for a moment.
Allow that to sink in for a moment.
And this is the ONLY champ that caught your attention?
Wukong Amumu Fiddle TF Annie Raka Sona Kayle MF Xin Malphite
(I could have some of these wrong, but I'm pretty sure all of these champs have kept a 50%+ winrate almost every season)
I don't know where you get your info from, and my info is half baked; but Ahri is NOT a problem child and shouldn't be on the focus of any radar except when talking about her fluffy tails.
is pretty balanced and a relatively safe mid-laner. It is not surprising that she sees a lot of play when first-picking a mid laner and her hyper mobility with her ultimate is one of the more healthier dashes in the game.
If Ahri's ultimate is down you can chase and kill if needed. Meanwhile champions such as
were for awhile allowed to be hyper mobile with low cooldowns, good scaling base damage, and enough escapes that the windows of opportunity to kill the champion were too few and far between.
He is still incredibly annoying and frustrating to try to kill, even if he has become less effective with repeated nerfs.
I will have to say of the mid laners I think

are in a really healthy state at the moment. Not too strong or weak and decent mid laners.
I think
all need adjustments still that see high play with some being too weak or too strong. I really think with CDR being so prevalent along with the purchase of rylais by everyone, it has made
one of the more unhealthy champions. It seems it is just too easy for him to get strong in games that I play and he can just machine gun slows to prevent gap closes.
and?
52% win rate with 14% play rate.
Meh.
And the moment she ever does , she will be buffed up again to viability , much like lee sin.
That means absolutely nothing. Tons of champions have had 50%+ win rates for very long periods of time.
She's always going to be an iconic, and popular champion. The latter more obvious for several reasons.
Riot has no reason to leave her in the gutter, and more incentive to keep her out of it.
Easy mode freelo champ. Doesnt get nerfed because all the low elo kids jerk off to her.
let's nerf every champ above 50% win rate then.
Why would she?
