PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE AHRI'S Q MOVEMENT SPEED

3/7 PBE Update: Hextech Alistar, Birdio, Pizza Delivery Sivir, New Ward Skin, & More

Please do not remove Ahri's Q movement speed. It has, for me at least, made Ahri more exciting/fun to play since the change was added into her kit. The movement speed buff she gets helps her reposition and dodge a lot of abilities while trading and in teamfights. Also as a side note the animation made for her is aesthetically pleasing(Plus I just feel strong when I throw out a Q).

In the link I posted it shows that they're trying two versions during the test: ver.1 with bringing back her old charms power flux on enemies, ver.2 bringing more power into her ultimate. (also minor buffs to her W)

Normally I would be fine with this except in both versions they're planning to take away Ahri's Q movement speed and I would definitely hate to see that. It just feels right for her Q buff to be there and wrong to take it away now.

In my opinion Riot could probably decrease the increase in scaling on her abilities and keep the Q buff. Idk why people have been saying she feels underwhelming.

Does anyone else feel the same? I really want to let the designers know about my opinion because I love this champion and would hate to have something implemented that devalued her for me. Let me know what you guys think.

I rather like the speed boos on her Q. Feels good for re-positioning/skirmishing. I don't want the damage amp back on her Charm since it just makes Ahri wait until she lands it before she engages.

It's incredible you guys are getting the DFG passive back and you're complaining about the Q movespeed.

Ahri mains never dissapoint with their delusions.

I agree. I just jumped into training mode to try the changes, and new Ahri just feels bad. I'd rather they kept the Q-Movement speed, and changed how her ult works / nerfed the cool down to be more limiting and fair.

Even if they added a mana-limiting factor to her Ult similar to how they did with Kassadin's Ult so she can't dash away every 70 seconds on 100 mana.

I don't like this version of Ahri at all.

nah bro, ahri got some pretty sweet compensation for the removal of that movement speed.

now ahri players can't play brain dead and get away with it

For years people wanted the damage amp back on her E. Guess what? You don't get to keep both. The speed buff was added to compensate for the removal of the damage amp. Ahri right now is pretty good. Pretty good winrate and playrates. Now what happens when you give a champ that is already pretty good a massive buff?

Sorry, the days of a steady 54% WR with 20% playrate are over

They're removing it? Good.

Edit: You got a big fat buff for it too, get out.

On the contrary, please do. As long as Ahri keeps her obnoxious safety, she can't be buffed to have decent damage. Those buffs however are huge, I guess Ahri's gonna be 55% winrate all over again.

I think more damage is a good trade for reduced safety. She used to be a one shot champion with DFG anyway, her safety kept her meta even after the "nerfs".

I barely notice her Q movement speed when I play her. I'm usually more focused on how little damage I do compared to other mages. Her charm buff is back and I will definitely take that over the ms. I'm glad they fixed her.

I enjoyed the movement speed on Ahri's Q, but I'm not sure it was implemented correctly.

I would prefer if they keep the movement speed, but only grant it if the ability hits something.

I was thinking that they should move her heal bonus on the passive to her Q and have it work every time, move the MS bonus to her passive and work as it does now, and then doing something interesting with her W.

I dislike ahri because she can kill me if i misplay and she used to be good years ago so she should only be nerfed regardless of her actual power level right now. No I will not play her to learn her weaknesses because I believe they do not exist and you cant change my mind

YES DELETE THIS ! FINALLY !

... I do feel like it’s a pretty fair trade, but I also would like to keep the Q movement speed(then again, what player doesn’t want their main to be as strong as possible without being brain dead and boring to play?). I like playing Ahri not because she can 100 to 0 enemies, but because she moves fluidly. I won’t make a fuss over it if her Q movement speed is removed, but I won’t be too pleased that she’s clunkier to play, even with boosted damage. I mainly play for fun at the moment, so none of this is from a competitive gameplay view.

The Q movement speed promoted toxic gameplay and it should get removed.

While the Q MS speed was kinda funny "for Ahri" it started to be unfun very soon. Especially last year when her winrate dropped to 52% and then she got hit by another Ap ratio nerf on r and W. Ahri started to be unbelieveable Frustrating to Play. I almost quited her and gave up because i couldn't climb out of Diamond 5-4 Elo with her Anymore. The new Ahri made also alot of famous Ahri Onetricks stop playing her. For example: Elusive Ferret, and even Vertigal, he still Plays her, but he quited for around 4-5 months last year, and now again started to Quit to Play her in Solo queue, he might not tell it, but he certainly is frustrated about the Champs state. And i can understand it. So many games i have lost on Ahri when i completely crushed my Enemy on lane, and got early fed, i was relying on my Team way to much now. I could do only 1thing that was to blow up a single target that is Out of Position, once i started to Poke my damage fall off to every other Champion super hard, Ahri no longer allowed me to win fights when my team was behind, even when i was the one ahead the Most, and that made me more and more frustrated about her. The only way to balance her and make her more rewarding is to remove the Q Movement Speed while giving her back damage that she has lost all over the years from the rework [sg-soraka]

Really sad about losing this. It really made playing her feel unique.
