5.16 patch notes
"Since her return to the kitier, mage-ier (still a word) side of things, Ahri's benefited from a pretty safe laning phase" - balance team patch 5.16
She's recieved an enormous amount of QQ as to why is she harder to catch since the change from Charm amp damage amplification to a steroid movement speed boost on Q. Resulting in a "safe laning phase." Be that as it may, i can't recall anyone ever asking for kite mage Ahri and no one buys into that, because no plays kite mage Ahri, Ahri lands charm, she rushes, kills you and then moves onto the next thing. like What? If anything, i would have to say most Ahri mains would definitely prefer charm amp over orb movement speed boost.
The change has resulted in, her passive being nerfed, because her laning phase is too safe? When she had charm amp, her lane was more gankable pre 6. So riot ultimately got her nerfed by giving her movement speed boost instead keeping a damage amp and then proceeds to gut her passive because of it. Overall? Great work, what a joke.
Honestly, i don't think Ahri ever needed the healing passive and a rework all together would've been the proper thing todo. Kids cry about a safe laning phase because of the movement speed boost, then her passive healing on top of that made it too much? Well excuse me because people forget to mention any of the following champions who heal, without having to use 100-200 mana to do so. I would like to know where does that leave these champions that heal without even having to use that much mana to do so?

I just find it interesting the amount of effort used to Gut Ahri, but then all those champions have how much healing compared to Ahri?
Even though Ahri's passive was nerfed, that doesn't change the fact that she's still going to ravage. Inb4 more QQ.
