Ahri 54.5% win rate now

inb4 this thread is -10 from ahri mains.

Ahri main here, and yes i agree ahri is a bit overpowered at the moment, she really didn't need that last buff.

and most ahri mains don't bother crying about her being weak because they're too busy crying about her W not being 100% what they want it to be

"YASUO IS SO BUSTED OMG"

Nah ahri and garen are weak and nerf are unjustified - respective champ subreddits

ahri mains are going to downvote u to hell for insulting their waifu. whenever ahri is strong she is cancerous

Which site are you using ? She already got indirect nerfs this patch , she and LB are the most affected ones from the nerfs since They both use Domination and Sorcery at the same time and both got nerfed , her winrate should drop soon , it's not even a day since the patch lol

besides , again , why did you choose Ahri to complain about ? she isn't that OP or something , and there is a champion with almost the same stats as her , why didn't you complain about him ? 54.5% winrate , the same exact as Ahri , 10.3% pickrate with 36% Ban rate , maybe a less pickrate but his Banrate is 6 times higher.

there are still some ahri mains that think she's weak

while yes, spoiler alert, i am a ahri main (as clearly shown by the icon, and the user name (magi=magic kyubi=9 tailed fox), and no i didnt downvote you, because you're just expressing your honest opinion, she is in fact quite strong, but she has very clear and predictable spell casts, since her Q and E are straightlined skillshots, and she's very reliant even more on her charm, and her R. Her charm, E, also hits the first enemy hit, so winions are a bitch and a half for her.

And her only source of saftey, with the removal of Q bonus MS and now converted into the passive(which is only a 20% MS bonus for 3 seconds), for a micro Phase Rush, is her R, and if her R is down, unless she lands a perfect charm, she's very open to being harassed if she doesnt 1) have R up 2) doesn't have her passive active.

so my tip(s) for fighting ahri, is

1. • find someone who can out damage/harass her, or assassins. i struggle so fucking hard when it comes to champs like brand, lux, yasuo, zed, talon, fizz etc. if you have someone who can outmobilize her like yasuo (bonus, yasuo can block all of her spells, and her E has a delayed launch time, so it can be predictable), or maybe irelia even, even leblanc too, or even dodge her spells like fizz playful/trickster etc.
2. • you can use the minions to block her charm (another tip, her Q is slightly longer than a minion wave lined up, while E is slightly shorter.) and if she misses her charm, punish..the...fuck...out...of...it....with her new charm, if she lands it, she gains 20% bonus magic damage in her spells. so if she misses it, shes an awkward sitting duck. And thats another thing.
3. • let her outplay herself. she has quite low cooldowns (Q=7 W=9/8/7/6/5 E=12), but her mana costs are quite up there as well (Base mana: 418-843 Q:65-85 mana W: 40 Mana E: 70 Mana EQW lvl 3 combo=165 mana or, 36% of her total base mana at lvl 3.) And from playing other ahris, a inexperienced ahri will spam a lot of spells constantly. so if they keep on spamming Q, they would be oom by 6 Qs. And heres the major downside to her style of her kit
4. • her Q E and R are all straight lined skillshots, R being the fastest, but used mostly for repositioning, E being slightly fast, but has a very short charge up time (i think 0.4 seconds?) and Q being somewhat slow. so shes not only very predictable, but also very easy to dodge if youre smart enough

So to recap:

Passive:

1. it's a mini phase rush. gives her 20% MS for 3 seconds
2. this only activates if she hits 2 abilities on a champion. good for poke

Q:

1. her main power.
2. can reach a full wave but has hard time clearing it until rank 4-5
3. its a semi-slow straight skillshot that deals true damage on its way back, so the easiest way to dodge it is 1) know its distance 2) step to the side
4. Watch an ahris patterns. if she likes to spam the shit out of it, she will waste mana early game VERY fast, especially in her Q. left click on her to see how much mana she has. if she has above 155 mana, she has enough for a nasty EQ combo, so wait till shes down to less than 130. that way, she wont be able to connect her Q if she lands a E. Punish heavy mana use
5. every enemy she hits, she gains a stack, max 3 stacks per Q. at 9 stacks, she can heal herself for 3 / 5 / 9 / 18 (+ 9% AP) for every enemy hit
6. does not reveal enemies in bushes, but will still add stacks if it does hit them. good for face checking

W:

1. still useless rito plz*[sg-ahri-1]*
2. its basically still RNG. the weakest of her kit.
3. the fox fires will prioritized whoever ahri Auto attacked, elsewise, it randomly goes to 3 nearby enemies

E:

1. one of her most important non-ultimate spells in her kit. miss this, you're dead
2. charm increases in duration by rank, 1.4 / 1.55 / 1.7 / 1.85 / 2 (i personally like to max this second)
3. charms the first enemy hit
4. Does not reveal target, but will still cause sound effects if it does land. good for safe face checking
5. if she hits it, her W and Q and R can deal an additonal 20% magic damage
6. prob one of the best teamfight starters, so avoid it as best as you can
7. did i mentioned she hates to charm minions? eew gross*[sg-ahri-3]*

R:

1. unlike old ahri, new ahri is now extremy dependant on her R for mobility
2. consists of 3 flash range dashes, can use in a duration of 10 seconds, with a 1 second gap inbetween
3. the best way to counter this is to watch her movements and to "dance with her" around minions. remember her combo is usually R E (ahri....aR..E...get it....sigh), so if you dance with her fast enough, and she misses her charm, her R2 and R3 will be awkward or sloppy, and Q wont be as crazy powerful. her R is very straightlined, but fast. shes not unstoppable, shes not invisible
4. mostly used for repositioning.

this is as most as i can think of. she's pretty squishy, and shes unsafe without her passive or ultimate, and you gotta land that dang charm, but it hits the first enemy hit, so use your minions to your biddings. thats...honestly all i can think of tbh. theres prob more, but oh well. im only 167K Mastery points on her, so im not all that great, but these are just some ideas on how to fight her. ya gotta revolve around when she's least safe (without E R or mana) Hope this helps you a bit on how to fight the seduction of a gumiho~

Its funny.

Because Ahri mains is full of people that complain about their champion being too weak.

You can 1 shot someone and miss all of ur skillshots but ahri mains ofc dont see that as a problem.
