Reminder: MissFortune has a 54.06% win rate with a 12% pick rate.

**Reminder: Draven has a 53.21% win rate with a almost 10% pick rate. ** He's supposed to be a high skill floor/ceiling champion also XD

Reminder: Jinx has a 53.54% win rate with an almost 14% play rate.

Reminder: Ahri has a 54.25% win rate with a 13.64% play rate

Reminder: Jhin has a 52.46% win rate with a 33% play rate.

Reminder: Nami has a 54.03% win rate with a 15.86% play rate.

I think these champions are long over due nerfs.

But better nerf Orianna's base MR by 4 instead!

4 out of 18 are outliers.

Garen Has the exact same winrate with a similar playrate.

Stupid balance team. Fix your broken champs.

Dope Solo4 votes

Honestly, I think these devs are just hopelessly incompetent.

RainXBlade1 votes

Riot's balance team is as useful as a government in a third-world country.

Rathar Dashing1 votes

I think those are more organized.

Also a reminder that she is extremely unsatisfying to play and she probably needs small changes to alot of her kit to make her balance and satisfying to play.

TitanAnteus5 votes

Oh I can't win? Better R away 5 times.

Frosted Tips4 votes

Exactly she is safe and that is also apart of the reason she is not satisfying. She is suppose to be this assassin mage mix but she just feels so boring and safe. If you don't get ahead early just sit back farm and never die because you are uncatchable. I think she needs a nerf but it should also come with a power distribution taking defensive power and moving it to offensive power.

power distribution taking defensive power and moving it to offensive power.

It's funny how it happened with removal of MS on Ahri q, and it made her even less satisfying. But i agree with your point, i just wanted to point it out

reminder Nami now has 54.5% win rate and 16% pick rate

but some champs arent "oppressive" so they are fine hehe

Better nerf Zoe

I hope that becomes the new meme XD

legit deserves every nerf on the pbe atm your point?

Infernape5 votes

Reminder: Ahri is unplayable unless her win rate is above 55% /s

Edit: Looks like someone cannot take a joke.

HaIlMonitor1 votes

Someone gets it! the only way Her mains can actually win on her is if first time players have a 55% chance of winning in their first ranked game on her! lol

lolipopevelynn5 votes

sry, everyone too busy bitching about Zoe like drooling idiotic sheep on a bandwagon that they cant see who the true terrors of mid lane a re right now.

Zed Ahri AurelionSol and soon Akali after her inevitable buff and once people learn how to play her.

Veigar is a sleeper too, and even while sleeping he is still insanely good.

Daddy Ants4 votes

Ahri main.

Yup I see why you think she's "balanced"

SwiftKitten883 votes

not going to lie.. ahri is VERY strong atm

https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/ahri/all

every elo.. she is definitely in nerf range

i love her i cant play her.. and i love watching her... but... yeah thats a bit op.

still strangly enough she manages to not seem oppressive even with that high a winrate... which is pretty amazing, and is also reflected in her rather low banrate for a champion with that high a winrate.

is she too strong... sure i cant really deny that.. that winrate is too high, but winrate isnt the only thing

again Ahri donest FEEL oppressive,, which arguable means more than actual balance.

but yeah i would give her a few love taps as well

Frosted Tips2 votes

Because her kit is about safety. Being safe means a good winrate and not feeling oppressive look at Janna over the years. Never drops below 50% winrate and on average winrate is 52% or higher and her playrate hovers around 8-12% on average. They are both super safe and that helps their winrates stay high.

IMO Ahri should be less safe and more of an assassin idk for sure how to do that, but maybe change her Ult so if it doesn't do damage you lose a charge so she only gets 2 charges while running away.

Ahri should be around 51-52% win rate.

Not heading towards 55%

Frosted Tips1 votes

I didn't say it should, I explained why it is high and what I believe could be a nerf to help reduce that problem. She also is not satisfying to play. She is supposed to be this assassin mage but she just feels like this pick mage that just waits for a charm to land that she just throws out all the time and once one finally lands she goes in.

Janna can feel oppressive though becuase, her movement speed allows her to dodge anything

TahmKench feels EXTREMELY oppressive because he completely negates any good move u do. forcing you to do what u DON'T want to do which is focus a tank.

a champions doesn't need to kill you.. they just need to aggravate you to no end. a Shaco .. even if he is 0/12. is STILL STUPID AND ANNOYING.. its not AS opressive as if he was 12/0

but the oppression is still there

Zed FORCES u to get item 3157 . and this is turn FORCES you to delay your mana regen..

that what makes him feel opressive.. they force u into to doing thing u DON'T want to do.

ahri donest do that.. i mean sure if u get hit by a charm your FORCED to walk into her.. but... thats a skillshot she has to land that and her landing that donest feel oppressive.. it feels like. "well shit that was stupid, i let her hit me with charm"

every outplay she does FEELS like an outplay... thats the difference

TahmKench eating an allies doesn't FEEL liek an outplay

Janna pressing R or just having stupid absurd movement speed letting her dodges anything doesn't FEEL like an outplay

but ahri does.. every tie u die.. u KNOW why u die..

and yeah.. her winrate IS definitely too high and she needs nerfs.. but the fact is even with such a crazy winrate she still donest have the same "feel" of oppression

Frosted Tips1 votes

I agree with everything you said. I just didnt want to get instantly downvoted by saying I think is is extremely oppressive and she needs at the very least a minor gameplay update but IMO it should be a full rework. The only way to counter Janna is by playing 5 ranged champions. She makes melee champions useless it is unacceptable how easy and safe she is. Her ult for sure needs a change.

By that logic

DrMundo Vladimir Soraka are oppressive because they force item 3123 / item 3033 / item 3165 purchases.

Lissandra Malzahar Urgot Skarner Warwick are oppressive because they force item 3140 / item 3139 purchases.

What makes Zed oppressive isn't items that you have to purchase against him. It's the fact he's low risk and extremely high reward.

Zed can literally mongo his ult, as long as he presses Ignite and manages to proc his electrocute he's going to kill you.

On Lolalytics.

OP.gg continues to keep her around 51.5.

Dope Solo2 votes

Again, look at the sum total of all the champions she has a positive win rate against. 6/43 - In Korea. My data is global plat +.

Correct.

Lolalytics is worldwide.

Rathar Dashing2 votes

I'd wait to see the dust settle after all the rune nerfs, she's definitely going to take a hit from at least one of the changes.

Malak2 votes

lol I play Karthus, one of the midlaners she "struggles" against and I still ban that sexy but cancerous bitch

Daddy Ants1 votes

Sona's pretty sleeper too imo.

She has a similar win rate to Nami but a quarter of her play rate.

Bisaknosp1 votes

she'll get indirectly nerfed next patch

btw there are more champs with similar playrate and winrate but better focus on ahri xd

besides her wr is only high because most other mages are garbage and she can survive vs assassins i fear it will increase or stay the same despite her main tree getting nerfed since they are also nerfing zoe assassins partly rely on snowballing their lane, harder to do vs ahri so atm there are not many good picks vs her tho ori does fairly good vs her but she gets nerfed next patch so wait fuck her wr will go even higher i'd prefer them buffing other mages and tone assassins down a bit

Ahri's a problem, that's why people are focusing on her.

I'd go with all of the above and a direct nerf.

ThıghConnoısseur1 votes

reminder ahri is only good when she has a 54-55% win rate lol

(not saying she still shouldn't be nerfed)

And today's data indicates a positive winrate against all but 3 mid laners.

https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champion/Ahri/counters/

Vs Karthus 48.21 Vs Annie 49.15 Vs Asol 49.96

Its 50 and up from there for 35 other champs.

annie is getting buffed so thats will lower ahri winrate [sg-ezreal]
