What if Ahri's charm scaled with distance?
There's a lot about
that is fun to play with but there's other things that can make it look like you are a glorified cc bot with your charm. I'm no Ahri player, but Imo, hitting or missing the charm should be the clear difference between killing the squishy target or letting him survive. I think that if Ahri's charm scaled in distance so that longer range charms either crowd controls or makes the target take more damage from her could increase her skill expression. The distance would probably be really similar to xerath but it's more skill expressive if you hit a long range charm than just press r a billion times until you are point blank. That way, riot could give more damage to her when she lands it and maybe nerf her dmg if she doesn't.
Ahri Imo should feel better when mastered, but feel slightly worse when not mastered.
