Ahri needs new passive

Zero Skill Tank·Jul 29, 2016·1 votes·767 views

Ahri is one of the safest midlaners, it's kind of disgusting she also has sustain most midlaners lack. If you manage to do some damage on her, despite of all tools she has to avoid it, you deserve for this damage to stick.

It also simply doesn't fit her playstyle, it only really rewards her for spamming Q's and stalling midlane.

I really think that changing it to something different, even as dumb like "bonus damage on next ability at 9 stacks" would help to make her playstyle better, both for Ahri players and her enemies.

I would take more damage every 9th spell. But I like my heals. It makes up for the lack of dmg most mid laners have over her.

with more damage they'd have to just nerf her damage and negate any purpose. She would be a lot less fun to play after they try to balance that out because you'd be spending so much time trying to deal with the broadcasting and counting like with rework vlad but 10x worse with mobility and mana problems

unfun for everyone

I feel like you just complained that you cant hit an Ahri, and that you want to change her passive to make her weaker. Actually that sounds like Fizz as well lmao. She does need the sustain though. She as one of the lowest base health in the game and is incredibly squishy.

you don't have to "hit her" you have to let your balls drop and defend the wave from getting shoved under your tower while she heals or take advantage of the shove. If you can't do either then your problem isn't ahri

just need to cc her with a root :P

Play either lissandra/morgana or ryze vs her and dodge the taunt then you should be able to deal with her easy

I can deal with Ahri, but her stalling potential is just not good gameplay.

define "stalling' she doesn't heal by stalling

I feel like Ahri's passive (and the whole champ right now) is at a good state. The healing is not very significant during early laning phase, and scales quite decently during mid and late game. I do feel like changing Ahri's passive a little bit would be nice, like a breath of fresh air. Maybe something like every 9th charge, her next ability would still heal for each enemy hit, however her next ability would ALSO deal a little extra damage (like, a small ap scaling, 5% or so). Of course there will be some scaling differences/nerfs here and there for her damage and healing factor, but I think it could work. It would reward Ahri for playing aggressive from time to time, since her current passive encourages a passive laning phase. It would fit for many different playing styles. Ahri

ahri is already awarded for playing aggressive.

you don't get 9 charges of her passive by "stalling" like the OP suggests. You have to spend mana on minions and nuke their hp down to get that sustain. The more aggression you put out the more you heal. The more you push the lane the more you heal. Ahri is actually one of few sustain champs that actually gets more out of being particularly aggressive rather than passive.

I agree with you. It's just fun to think of new ideas for a champion. I was just saying that IF Ahri were to have a new/changed passive, I would like something like this. =)

you would never see anything else played mid if they did what you suggested. Are you fucking serious?
