What do you know, Ahri back up to highest playrate AND winrate midlane in Plat+

But hush hush, don't dare speak out against this champion or her success because the Ahri waifu clan will come in droves to downvote you. You shouldn't dare say how braindead easy of a champ this is with her mindless Q spam push, roam bot/top for gank, rinse and repeat. She's doing exactly what Ekko used to do when he was a priority pick. Stop fucking buffing this champ just to sell skins for your waifu playerbase. Either take some reliability/safety out of her goddamn kit, or reduce her Q damage to minions so she can't brainless push and roam.

In the kassadin thread, i said he was cancerous in a low-key way.

Ahri is the definition of cancerous in a high-key way. Really high-key.

kassadin is also cancerous but at least he has shit waveclear and doesn't hit his oppressive state until he has RoA, Lich Bane, and Zhonyas. Kassadin also deserves nerfs but I hardly ever see him because he gets banned or players are afraid of getting counterpicked.

Theres a difference between timing your mobility like leblanc does and just brainlessly spewing it out randomly as fast as possible like ahri does in lane. Probably one of the most faceroll champs to ever desecrate the mid lane. Her ult + ignite + electrocute + w dont take any skill to use and are enough to finish 70% hp targets. God forbid you fall below 70% hp in lane vs ahri cause get rdy for skillful DUHH DASH DASH DASH HURR DURRR. Did I mention she has built in sustain to heal up to full as well? Its like the champion designed for idiots and the 54% winrate shows.

iDarkWindSep 18, 201813 votes

Don't dare to defend LB, she is the same BS that Ahri is, perhaps even worst pre lv6. 2 Dashs with a possible return and a passive that makes her invisible for on second and gives her a outplay potencial with her clone.

I hate playing against champions that have kits that allow them to fck up everything and still not be punished, and our new recent addition to this list is this thing: Akali

DKM BismarckSep 18, 201816 votes

No. LB is as much of an issue as Ahri right now, she is just harder so her winrate is lower and for a champ of her skill floor/ceiling, her winrate is absurdly high.

DKM BismarckSep 18, 20186 votes

Nah, Kassadin is also high-key cancer. He's absolutely absurd, if he is even remotely meta he becomes p/b with a more than good winrate, every single time. The champ is such a problem child

Ahri is just too good of a kit in terms of soloq. Kassadin is too good of a kit everywhere.

Dat KatSep 18, 20182 votes

What does high key, low key mean?

Because you seem to be strengthening your argument confidently with those terms.

Noor SakataSep 18, 201821 votes

Her banrate speaks the truth of how unfun she is to play against , so far she is the least banned mid laner in the current meta and all champions who have been meta so far , meta ? sure she is strong but she isn't even strong to be a meta champion that can 1v5

She is never cancerous to play against , this thread is surely delusional No matter how good she is , her kit allows her to be strong against 1 enemy at most , so she can never dominate , Akali has much less winrate , but EVERYONE would prefer playing against Ahri more than Akali or most of assassins

Takes 0 skill to play ? well she is a simple champion like most of champion in the game

Winrate is too high ? then why did you choose to complain about her ? Nami has both higher , slightly a higher winrate and has much way more pickrate than Ahri , but no one complains about her because she has just been like that because of the Starting support items nerf and in Korea Kassadin has much higher both pick and winrate So why did you choose to complain about Ahri?

For your infomation , Ahri has one of the weakest wave clear pre 9 , especially at 7 and 8 , Her Q makes the backside Caster minions survive on low hp , W and E won't kill them so you have to use auto attacks and until then 1 or 2 casters will die , at lvl 9 , wow Ahri can 1 shoot caster minions with Q , WOW WHAT A BROKEN WAVE CLEAR ??? her wave clear is sure nice later , but don't call it broken

Ahri is ungankable after 6 ? well mid lane is full of champions that are ungankable even pre 6 , not to forget that she is only ungankable because of her ULTIMATE , so you got angry that you couldn't kill her ? well you just forced her to use the key to her kit that actually makes her a champion , the key for her to roam or to kill the enemy laner " tho she fails at both if she misses her Charm "

After buying 3 items Ahri killed you even when missing her Charm ? Well yes , she hit r w q ignite and applied electro , sure her q isn't hard to land when you Ult and W won't miss , but she just used her Ultimate , for the love of god you people .. she used 3/4 if her kit , even if they are easy to land , some champions are using half of their kits " non-ultimates ones btw " and still killing people while they are easy to land and with 1 item spike only ! Ahri can't do that when she has 3 items while more than 1 enemies are near , like any champion in the game she gets bursted , and she can't do that against champions that got shield in their kit or took barrier

Like any mage , Ahri gets hard countered by MR , " BUT HER Q DOES TRUE DAMAGE " O....ok.. lol , so the q on it's way back killed you ?

Most of meta champions and champions that are being played lately are ad , they still buy QSS to dodge her only CC ability that is a skillshot

But actually , do you think it's more fun to play against champion Irelia ? the champion that has 50% which is 4% less than Ahri's but actually dominates and gets a triple or quadra kill everytime I watch a stream ?

Btw for your information , it's not really about winrates , Before her latest rework , Ahri had 52% winrate while at the same time everyone complained about how useless she was

So you want her to be nerfed ? what nerfs comes to your mind ? I honestly can't think of anything except reverting her latest buff , any other nerfs will make her useless again

besides , why are you complaining about Ahri to be exact when she finally became in a good spot ? wait nvm you are a jungler main who gets angry everytime he fails to kill Ahri , even though when we finally had a mage being a good pick " half mage tho , but her only ability that makes her half assassin is her ult "

besides , why do you hate it when Ahri misses charm and runs with her ult in fights? I mean , forcing Ahri to run with ult makes it as if the match is 4v5 lol

Ahri is a mana Hunger champion , she runs out of mana easily more than any other mid laner in the game while laning

Btw , Ahri isn't a champion that can 1v1 you from behind , she is a champion that MUST stay ahead to be viable. She isn't LB who dies 10 times and still kills you without even using half of her kit. in other words , deaths for Ahri pre 6 are enough to keep her out of the match

Idk what to say anymore , Keep complaining when Graves Irelia Akali Fizz Talon and many others dominating as they wish.

Tbh As a both Akali and Ahri player , the Ekko match up , I'd rather fight Ekko with Akali much more than Ahri , besides Akali is safe too , even much safer than Ahri , Akali has safety from Ult , E and W , 2 basic abilities , while Ahri's safety is limited to her Ult , but as Akali why would she run when she can just kill you ?

and I explained in my comment , even though Ahri is safe , there are other safer picks too so .. Ekko himself is safe too at times " not always though " At least when you bait Akali and Ahri ultimates , Ahri can't roam while Akali can , Ahri can't kill without Ult in early most of times while Akali can , Akali got better lane sustain than Ahri , Ahri's lane sustain drains her mana anyway , and I watch a lot of streamers tho , Shiphtur who mains both Ekko and Ahri , but mostly Ekko , he prefers to fight Ahri 10 times more than Akali , you can just dodge Ahri charm and you got 0 threats , if you actually dodge Ahri charm then you can kill her as Ekko before she runs with ult because she her ult has 1 second delay after each dash , I used to play Ekko a lot .. most of times the second all in will kill any squishy champion anyway

Well with this Reply , I can't take you seriously anymore , with all respect but sorry , this reply shows that you are a salty player ,more like the " report my team plz " guy , so calling me Ahri abuser for simply maining that champion since I started playing the game ? I'm one of the Ahri mains who always played Ahri in all her situations , strong or weak , I'll always play her , besides most of my matches were before her buff and before her rework , I actually replied to you out of respect

However , having I called myself an Akali player , doesn't mean I don't play her in normals , I could call myself an Akali abuser here , even if I only had 15 matches on her , but why didn't you call me Akali abuser instead ? that simply explains how you are the circle jerking type and you shouldn't be taken seriously , to let you know , Akali has 60% ban rate , she is either picked or banned , I can't always play her , I have to go blind pick , and somehow she is perma banned in my games , those 15 matches where she was open , that's all.

I'm sorry....WHEN HAS AHRI BEEN BAD???! LMFAO. Your champ has been taken extra special care of because of your dumbass playerbase that circlejerks her when she starts garnering anything less than positive attention. Ahri has literally had a winrate of 50% or higher every single fucking patch since July of 2014. My source for this is League of Graphs where she is also currently sitting at a 53.5% winrate and a playrate of 12.3%. Yet people like you want to say she is "balanced" or, "she's just really safe, she doesn't do that great of damage". jesus fucking christ you guys are the most toxic fanbase. If your champ doesn't have a winrate over 50% then she's "unplayable" and "weak". You have truly never had to go through a period where your champion wasn't unplayable or viable.

At this point, the guy is just baiting Ahri mains to lash out at him. I'd just ignore him. Let Riot make the call, because they should know the real numbers. You see people complain about Yasuo daily/weekly, but is he nerfed? These guys will come back in a week or two from now, make a new account, and post the same thing.

I just ban Ahri these days. I swear the impact and benefits of banning her is higher than Zed or yasuo because of the winrate/pickrate problem. She is just annoying as heck to deal because you just cannot win. She has not specific timing where you can trade damage to her.

MezoSep 18, 201814 votes

Can you guys stop complaining for the sake of winrate? Of course she has a high winrate because the meta not because she is BROKEN DESIGN or NO Counterplay !! Riot always shifts the meta during the pre season by releasing some changes usually affects the meta. I don't play Ahri at all to defend her or something, But her counter play is the highest between all assassins and snowbally champions. Like complain about Leblanc oneshotting you with W Q R or Talon moving around the map to show you how beautiful is the Grey Screen. just please wait till the meta shifting without ruining the champion because she has high winrate >.> Also i guess removing the additional damage outside champions kit like damage from ignite or non-keystone runes will be a good nerf without touching the champion.

But this champion is fine. I have seen someone on boards saying that her win rate is fine and she has it only because of her high pick rate. That's how people playing her understand the world, no wonder she has to be that easy to play.

Said it before and I'll say it again; I'd still rather lane vs Ahri than any mid lane assassin or some cancer Irelia mid.

She may be strong but imo she's a rather fair champion with a simple play pattern and I'd rather fight her than something like Akali.

Slim GragasSep 18, 201810 votes

I just haven't seen the same problem with Ahri that i have with many other champions this season. Currently at mid diamond and i still haven't seen near the same amount of dominance from Ahri that i have from others like Akali, Zed, Fizz(from all these recent buffs through patches), Kassadin, LB. I do see Ahri's stats and how good they are, yet i've seen these other dominant mid laners be priority still who get banned out more often. You can check on U.GG for example, all of these champions i've listed actually have way higher ban rates than her which would ALSO be the reason they don't get picked as much. Don't forget the tons of other unbalance in the game. For god sakes, look at Zed's for example, in all 40% of matches he is banned. Akali is at almost a 65% ban rate for all matches and for good reason, while she has a low winrate, i believe this is because she hasn't been played optimally yet due to being new but many have already experienced how broken her new kit is still.

She cant use q to clear a full wave. Its not brainless push and roam. Before lost chapter her mana fucking sucks. She won't be pushing waves that fast until she gets ludens at which point it takes her at least 2 q's which is around 5 seconds cd each. + some autos and w. That takes around 8-10 seconds to clear wave. How is that brainless push and roam? It takes every other champ the same amount of time..

Let's be honest here. Ahri was never depicted officially as having massive boobs. It is extremely funny how the fanbase thinks it that way, as like they also think she has a good "fluffy" kind personality.

...even if she is legit some sort of vampire.

Fizz Akali Zed are the issues though [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Kassadin and TwistedFate both have higher play rates :/ they are also more mobile.

Pick rate doest really mean much cause LeeSin and Yasuo always have high pick rate regardless of how good they are.

And i honestly dont think Ahri is that good of a champion. Damage wise there are better choices and mobility wise there are better choices.

Ahri is really good at avoiding ganks which leads to less feeding which is why her WR is usually up. But looking at her team fight damage and single target burst. There are allot of champions that are better to pick then ahri.

Honestly think her ult is the biggest problem.

That's funny cause I never had problems with an enemy Ahri in months.

I ether stomp her in lane with my other mid lane picks or I'm playing support so she will just get cc by me the instant she makes a move.

Oh well if she gets nerfed that's just more freelo when the enemy team picks her [sg-jinx]

oh look. you play Ahri and Lulu almost exclusively in Ranked games and have "Charm" in your username. I bet you have zero bias at all LOL

But on the other hand, she plays syndra nicely, which is one of the few champs that can logically blast Ahri out of lane repeatedly. Playing Ahri definitely gives knowledge on how to beat her efficiently. She is not trying to try and talk propaganda i guess. This person is just talking on experience.

That name though, you obviously never play Ahri.

Let's check out your OP.GG http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=2charmnot2charm

Looks like you mained the champ for 6 seasons lul

Just read more carefully. Although it is true she plays ahri, but she plays lulu more and she says "she can kill her off easily with her sup pick." and It doesn't contradict with anything. There is nothing wrong in saying "I know how to beat my main champ"

For instance, I get all the hate in the world saying "I know how to counter malzahar the instant he uses E on a minion" and nobody trusts me but it is true.

That's because it's really hard to do poorly on her. She's a safe pick into most matchups and if you play right, you shouldn't die frequently. She's a generalist, so she can do a bit of everything (waveclear, poke, make picks, assassinate) but she can't do any of those better than someone who specializes in those areas. Poke: Xerath is better Waveclear: Ziggs/Anivia Assassinate: Leblanc, Katarina, Zed, etc.

The thing with Ahri is that unlike other mages, she can remain safe against assassins early, who are all meta right now, particularly Zed and Talon.

Katarina? Assassinate? Are we playing the same game?

LTK KoRoSep 18, 20187 votes

Bias is strong here i see.

Let me guess, kata deserve buffs in your opinion?

KrullySep 18, 20186 votes

its amazing how theres always 10-14 downvotes when its about ahri.

wildfox99Sep 18, 20186 votes

i'm more amazed for the upvotes

ZER0 2Sep 18, 20186 votes

I fail to see the problem tbh. I barley ever play her either, but it's always nice to see a mage that doesn't just have to button mash like most of the assassins performing well.

Dat KatSep 18, 20182 votes

Its part of this community's nature to complain about champs that shit on them recently.

mack9112Sep 18, 20186 votes

Her playrate is probably high because she never gets banned

General MattySep 18, 20184 votes

I can't even gank this champion because of her aids ult that can be used for offense and defense. D:

JaegaerSep 18, 20187 votes

Cant gank anyone who has a dash until they use it. Its not just ahri.. Just camp her pre 6. use your brain

Better gut .

As much as I hated getting cockblocked by that champ, she definitely got gutted for no reason other than pro play. Ryze and Azir were gutted because of one tricks and pro play.
