No Wonder Ahri is Broken

Incarceration··6 votes·2,727 views

Ahri is broken with good teammates because she doesn't have the aoe to 1 vs 5, but she has so much safety and bullshit that she can easily win or at least go even.

Please lower the missile speed of her Q, it's literally impossible to farm when she's throwing a max range q.

Honestly, Ahri's main weakness used to be her sub-par damage. Rather than immediately burst targets down, she would kill people over multiple spell rotations while using her ultimate and MS buff to reposition.

Sadly, damage has been increased across the board by masteries, so her main weakness isn't really relevant any longer. She now has enough damage to burst squishy targets in one combo, so now her main disadvantage is lower potential overkill against squishy targets.

Fix the mastery system and the problem will mostly sort itself out.

Honestly the only change Ahri needs is the movement speed taken off of her Q. I'm fine with her mobility if its completely tied to her Ultimate. I'd lane vs an Ahri over a LB all day every day

I..don't have any problem with her. All her main sources of damage are skillshots. She's going to try to hit her Q at max range so both true and magic damage are hitting you at the same time, but that also makes it easier to dodge. She has decent waveclear, her passive to sustain, but I don't find much trouble in her since she's skillshot based.

Thing is, she hits one damned charm, I'm dead. Cleanse isn't even worth taking because the charm duration is so short, and once she hits it, she presses an ability and does a million damage to me.

The q is way too hard to dodge if you don't have a mobility spell on a low cooldown. When you are closer to her, it feels much easier to dodge her q.

That's an assassin for you. Maybe a item 3102 will help.

I can dodge it as slow Karthus with no boots. If you have trouble dodging her q then good luck dodging Lux's Q, Morgana's Q, Xerath Q, etc. Ahri isn't that broken, she's just an assassin.

Play her for 3 or 4 games. You'll learn to dodge her Q a good amount, and her E even more.

Her Q is VERY dodge-able.

There's a reason Ahri's core combo is R-E-combo or F-E-Combo. She needs that element of surprise via blowing a major cooldown in order to land her kit most of the time. WAY more balanced in my opinion than most other champions who don't need to blow flash or R until they've already all but secured the kill. Ahri always burns her cooldowns hoping to set up the kill - you dodge the flash-charm or R-charm and she just blew a huge cooldown for nothing (unless you dodged it with Flash).

Clense is worth taking because some ahri players max E over W [zombie-brand-facepalm]

If you don't take it enjoy being charmed for 2 seconds.

Ahri isn't broken?

Push her in. She can't even clear a wave in a single Q like most mids.

I wonder why they gave her Q move speed in the first place? It wasn't part of her kit originally

It was as compensation for the removal of DFG, as well as the loss of Charm's damage amp. The balance team decided that having a hyper-mobile champ's main weakness be low mobility was weird, so they took the chance to switch directions from assassin to skirmisher. Problem is, they planned on the speed boost being a net nerf due to the loss of about 35-40% of single-target damage, then buffing as needed. Instead, it resulted in the then-tenth-highest win rate in the game's history. Add in followup nerfs to everything except the speed boost, and it's now a fundamentally-unbalanceable ability (you either take damage or don't, so changing the numbers or adding a delay is unlikely to help) that single-handedly keeps Ahri's win rate positive.
