Nerf Ahri please

Cloud273··6 votes·976 views

I'm tired of seeing her in normals (non ranked games)/ranked and I'm tired of seeing her in LCS. Ahri is simply too safe and reliable. In addition to the ball of stats in her kit (healing, true damage, etc) she also has amazing damage, hard cc, and gets 3 dashes! And yes, I realized I just listed off everything in her kit and every champ looks op when you do this (we've all heard this bullsh*t a million times), but honestly everyone sick of her. And here's some facts. Ahri has the highest play rate of all mid champs and she has the fourth highest win rate among them (fiddle, talon, and anivia have slightly higher win rates).

Check how many games i played in season 4 then check how many games i played in season 5 6 and now 7, actually i'll tell you, 100 something games in season 4 from me climbing from silver to plat which was my first year of playing league try harding, barely 30 SOLO queue games in season 5, 0 games in season 6 and 50 games in season 7 with a high winrate and those games were done months ago before i stopped playing again.

I decayed from p3 while playing vs d5 players back to gold 1 and you're telling me someone with a winrate of 75% in plat elo is trash?

I'm not hardstuck at all idiot i just quit playing when i reach plat, i was hoping to change that attitude this season but no i had to move to a new place and deal with unbearable pings cause of shitty wireless and other bullshit happening in real life, so i will give zero fucks about being in diamond in NA solo queue.

By the way if you're smurfing on that account then nice job having a negative winrate in silver fucking elo with master fucking yi, a champion that is so easy to pub stomp in that garbage elo along with the golds.

She is the Lee Sin of mid lane, dont expect many nerfs but they will have to happen now since she is spammed in LCS and thats a big no-no. However her giant fanbase of weeabos will spam the forums if she gets ANY significant nerf. Cant wait for 10 bans, she is probably going 80-90% together with LB, Fizz and Kassadin because mobile AP assassins are so fun...

Ahri isn't the "Lee-Sin of Mid lane." That would be Orianna.

Part of being an assassin is being mobile...all of those champions have been nerfed to a balanced state. That's what the assassin update was for.

Ahahahha Orianna the most balanced and well designed champion ever made in this game is gamebreaking since she was released like Lee Sin. Ok nice to know. Now dig yourself a hole, lie into it and never come out pls...

Ahri can't kill tanks, ahri can't kill champions who dodge her skill shots, and ahri is not tanky. She is a skill based champion. If the enemy ahri is significantly more skilled, she is always going to appear to be broken. And that statistic is super skewed because in solo queue people are always going to get caught out more. Ahri is a pick-based champion, so naturally she's going to have a decently high win rate. Why else do you think Twitch has been one of the highest win rate ad carries for a very long time?

That's the only 3 things she can't do, which makes her kit a problem.

Either have kill pressure (aka be an assassin) have sustain, have mobility or have DPS.

While having one or even 2 of those things are no problem, a champion combining all of this AND doing it even just slightly better than average is a problem.

That's just wrong tho...

Start arguing then. Because your post is meaningless right now.

my thoughts on ahri

Coming from an ahri main who has played her when she was both strong and bad.

The reason she has seen few changes to her actual stats, is for a large majority of the time, she is like Lee sin when it comes to the meta. She is dependant on who is and isn't meta. She is also dependant on which items are strong and not strong.

Right now both conditions fit ahri. Champions she hates to face are out of meta, and items she loves to use are very in Meta. It's a double win for Ahri at the moment. Champions she loves to work together with are also very meta. So slash that it's a tripple win. This is a large cause for the sudden inflation of ahris win rate and play rate.

So where do we go from here?

Personally I believe the best nerf has nothing to do with her passive or her movement speed on q. Which many people complain about. No clue why, if Riot removed them this would legitmately change nothing about her.

So what I believe should be done is a very simple and clevor nerf.

Ahris Q has 2 forms of damage since it's a boomerang ability. Heavily nerf the damage on the first Q but Buff the damage on the second Q (the returning) This way bad ahri players are heavily punished for when they miss the returning Q and good ahri players are rewarded.

if this isn't enough we can also nerf the damage on charm and increase the mana cost on charm.

These two nerfs I believe would be a great way to nerf ahri without gutting her.

I'm willing to bet that anyone who is a bad ahri player isn't getting a whole lot of elo when they play her. Riot has nerfed her damage so many times to the point where if you're not on point with everything, then why are you even playing that champion? She doesn't have the damage to kill you if she misses too much of her stuff. She just doesn't. She's only seeing more play right now because mid lane variety has been getting chopped down to size.
