Ahri needs her Q to be on a longer CD

SwapShadows··8 votes·598 views

Honestly her Q gives her way too much positives to the point where it's never a bad time to use it.

Im getting ganked? use Q

My opponent is trying to auto a creep? Ill use Q every time because it comes back every few seconds

I need sustain? use Q

I need to catch someone? use Q

Either her Q needs to be on a longer CD early game or she needs something removed from it whether it be the insane sustain, true damage or movement speed boost.

If she doesn't land E-q late game she isn't killing a carry unless they're already half health. She needs to land charm or orb or both at least to 100-0 someone unless you're DISGUSTINGLY fed.

Her W, E and R is what needs nerfs

W and R can easily 100-0 an enemy without needing to land Q and E on them once you get ludens echo for late game, and her E got unnecessary damage buffs that she gotten which need to be toned down. Lowering damage on E and W and adding in more higher cooldown for her R is a proper way to do it. The reason for adding in a Cooldown for her ult is to make her Roam less, and more easier to gank.

And her sustain is a passive I wouldnt consider that to be part of the Q to be called "overloaded" while true damage only happens when the orb flys back to her. Its her main damage to start out with

Her Q is indeed overloaded, but it makes up for her w being one of the worst abilities in the game. It does mediocre damage at short range to a single target. It's only valuable aspect is that casting it is a free action.

It's far from the only bread and butter spell in the game, or the only combination of damage and mobility. Leblanc's w, Fizz's troll poll, etc.

#SIGH more Ahri QQ.

  • So they balanced her to a point where she can't all in you at lvl 6 regardless of your health percentage...
  • They made it so she cant kill you without landing charm.
  • Then they nerfed a bug that would allow Ahri a massive heal on W-Q(so she only gets a decent heal on Q only with more enemies hit, preferably champions).
  • Nerfed the range of W-R to make it harder to get off that damage in general.
  • Then they removed charm damage amp, then removed DFG and removed her compensation for it.

So when Ahri began to just use Q for everything, riot's all like, mana regan utility masteries op! Rekt that, shortly after adding more mana cost to her Q so she has to manage her mana more appropriatly opposed to Q'ing for poke with a skill shot mind you.
It's because they want Ahri to play for E and Q. But then some kid comes in a cry's about what riot wants Ahri to play for?! And you want to increase her Q CD?? It's as if you want her to just WR you. Would you be happy then? Rofl Beyond all this, there are newer and older champions who don't even have 1/3 of patch note changes like Ahri does, so many other champions need "Balance", it's almost disgusting. Ahri is incredibly agile and fully capable of outplaying many champions; which is why she usually sit's at the top 10-20 of win rates with probably less over all damage than most of the other champions on that list. Look into balancing those who are top 5?! Malzahar for example? heimer? Wukong? WW?

Anyone that actually knows anything about this game knows that her charm or w and ultimate aren't the problems she has atm

Her problem is that she spams her Q constantly in lane without any kind of regret, her Q needs higher cooldowns at lower levels or she needs something removed from it such as the unneeded movement speed boost.

The use of Q is reduced because of mana regan nerfs to the utility tree and the increase to mana cost for her Q. If you don't play Ahri you wouldn't even know how this was nerfed and has made her much more aware of her mana. The Q increased CD is too much and completely not necessary. AP champs focus on using abilities since that's their primary damage output and waveclear.
