there is just something about being able to play her as an assassin that just feels right to me. i have not been enjoying this game for the last little while but this ahri change has made things a little better. how does everyone else feel about ahri right now?
Elphrihaim6 votesFor the first time in ages I don't feel like fox-fire is fighting me on who I want to kill.
I have a reason to rank the button before level 8 again.
I really don't see the point in her innate as it stands because I have literally not seen it ever matter outside of the first 3-4 minutes in over 50 games i've seen.
BakedLotion1 votesyea the speed boost is like unnoticeable
Snowman Arc1 votesI believe in some cases, it can help you escape by throwing a Q and if it hits, you might get to save using your R to escape. But yeah generally it's very underwhelming.
Nevurwin5 votesIve Been an Arhi main since release, and though this iteration does good damage, it doesn't feel as satisfying as past versions. I barely even notice when i proc her passive movement speed, and now since you actually are required to hit enemy champs in order to proc it, i feel her utility to kite has diminished. She spell vamps significantly slower now, and if you dont hit your charm, you do much less damage.
I feel a good change to counter balance her "Slow feeling" now would be to Revert her Ultimate to its original state, where she could Dash consecutively without the 1 second delay.
Automated Riven1 votesShe is an assassin, (or plays like one) and shouldn't be a kite mage. Her Ms boost should be removed.

its just in combination with ludens echo losing its MS, Ahri is now extremely slow and easy to track down. Her only window of mobility is her ultimate... which is lack luster considering most assasins have their mobility on their W/E's. ie zed, lebanc, fizz. Or they have a mobility tool that can be used frequently, ie Talon.
Most assassins base MS is 340+, so the least they could do is put Ahri in line with that, she currently is at 330. And like i said, Since they removed MS from ludens she really doesnt purchase any, anymore.
iamthegoatofwar4 votesThis actually isn't new ahri. It's OLD ahri basically from my understanding of it.
2Charmnot2Charm2 votesYea season 4 ahri even though you could play her as an assassin before that, just season 4 was the only season with the charm amp.
Häxel1 voteswell ahri got charm amp patch 3.13 and lost it 5.2. Also not exactly old ahri cause part of her movement she got 5.2 she still has, passive now is on q so you only get best case heals (yous till get stacks from w,e,r but don't waste the heal on them) and ahri has now new targeting rules for w as well.
Hèntaî 4 votesI missed this ahri so much, when they reworked her to be a kite mage with that ms mumbo jumbo and took away her charm amp the first time, it killed me :(
NineTailedMystic3 votes10/10 would damage again
Ahrisistible2 votesold was an assassin to but because riot or ahri main youtubers never really said in more than a click bait title no one really knew that. The new ahri is just a less safe version of the old one that has less depth because you cant get the same angles or do some of the old play old ahri could do with out the move speed. I could get the entire enemy team to chase me from their base all the way throught BOTH jungles to our base and pick up at least 3 kills doing it. and top lane ahri use to work because bruisers couldn't stick to you because of the movement speed but know both aren't as good any more because of the new nerfs she got
NineTailedMystic1 voteslol
Häxel3 votesso...you pracitcaly played not an assassin but singed? well good they changed her (and you stillg et ms by hiting your abilitys so theoreitcaly you still can play this). Btw assassins should not be safe so you saying odl ahri was an assassin while also being safe contradicts itself kinda. Also saying you let them chase you the whole lane: if you need the whole lane to kill 3 targets that also doesn't speak for an assassin but jsut for an extreme kitemage. New ahri got moved again a bit away from kitemage back toa ssassin but riot has let the movement stay in a weaker version so she still can kite a bit but is just less safe.
Keevalroy2 votesOh no! You lost your safety net! How awful! Now you have to think about positioning without your shoehorned sprints to run away from danger, and now you're punished for overextending and playing like a fucking chimp!? The absolute HORROR!
Ahri Body Pillow1 votes:steamsalty:
Keevalroy1 votesHardly. I'm mocking, not complaining about balance. I love that my favorite champion requires some semblance of skill again without DFG creating a problem.
Ahri Inari2 votesShe can kill thing on sight, it's so fun.
Keevalroy2 votesShe feels so much better now, but I still hate that they just HAD to include a speed boost. I'd much rather they kill it completely, remove the heal passive from her Q, and move it back to her passive slot with the previous heal version. Yeah, I'm gonna be pretty picky about that part, but overall, I'm both amazed and thankful they would even consider something like this after 3 years of people like me screaming at them to revert her.
Also, I'd like to point out to Riot that as they continue to revert champion reworks, the champion communities' responses are overwhelmingly positive...maybe something to think about, hmm? More to come perhaps? Maybe your gameplay direction actually isn't as loved and successful as you believe it is?
Elphrihaim1 votes{quoted} She feels so much better now, but I still hate that they just HAD to include a speed boost. I'd much rather they kill it completely, remove the heal passive from her Q, and move it back to her passive slot with the previous heal version.
My salt personally is that her movespeed isn't attached to her W-- you know, the button that rewards you for being close to enemies?
Keevalroy1 votesI'm keeping my feet dug as deep into the ground as they were in patch 5.2 - she shouldn't have an MS boost period. She didn't need it before, and doesn't need it now. It has no thematic sense, or reason to exist on a champion who is already mobile enough without it.

I agree.
It has no thematic sense,
I disagree. It makes perfect thematic sense for a trickster to be able to slip away from being close / in danger.
or reason to exist on a champion who is already mobile enough without it.
I agree.
Keevalroy1 votesFair enough. I argue that a seductress with a random speedup doesn't make sense. However, the Kiss of Death interaction makes perfect thematical sense.
Electric Ratt1 votesIt's mixed feelings. I kinda miss her Q movement speed and I don't notice a difference whenever I tick it off and I die alot because of that, but I do like the E and W changes tho.
Athenes Lulu1 votesNot necessarily "new", but that was pretty much her identity back then.
Spice and Wolf1 votesI got fast used with her new kit without ms. For me it feels stronger and I really have fun playing it
Shíníng Díamond1 votesI'm confused. Is it not worth taking movement speed runes then?
Zena1 votesLove the new Ahri. Though her new passive, the speed boost, isn't noticeable at all.
The added effect on her charm is really good too. She isn't overpowered at all. I think she's at a good spot, not weak, not to strong and weak points to punish her.
Alohaxrick1 votesIt feels a bit weird without the movement speed from Q.
Miho1011 votesI miss the boost when you activated Q....
Vlada Cut1 votesNice Mc Donalds refference in the title. I'd like some Big Fox Mac with an S+ sause without salt please.
