Riot Please revert Ahri already, our opinions after 3 years are still the Same.

When the rework came out every ahri main despite her huge winrate still wanted her to be revertet, you refused so we eventually stopped crying about it, you left ahri over a 53% winrate over 3 years for the sake of us stopping to cry, but she is SO bad. Bad in the aspect of solo carrying. Almost every mage is better today if your skill is higher than your division to solo carry. You nerft everything, you increased her manacosts, you lowered her Range, you lowered her base damage, you lowered her scalings, you increased her cooldowns, especially the R cooldown, her entire kit is made around her Ultimate, and everyone begged you to nerf the Movement speed of Q, because it's overbuffed but you just refuse! Just WHY?! Meanwhile 95% of the community, is asking for other champions getting reworked, because they are super toxic when it comes to playstyle (quinn, teemo) yet you ignore that. But you reworked a champion no one ever called "toxic or unhealthy" and no one ever wanted to see a rework from!

today ahris Combo is simple "land everything to do your full dmg just like every other champ" Back then a Ahri had to think, when do i shoot E? Should i R and e asap, to get the maximum dmg out, or should i play mindgames with my enemy, am i still able to kill him, if i don't use E's % increase dmg at all? Should i try to cancel lees wardjump with my e or should i save it because i wont be able to time it. Everythings gone of this part, ahri is so much less enjoyable, and she rewards you so much less than before when you are actually good on her. Isn't it funny when i say; the old ahri was alot harder to play good, yet still much more fun, for enemy and ally? While this one is easier and just not fun for both sides. Also riot had no problems whatsoever balancing her winrate out back then compared to today.

I specifically logged in just to upvote.

I still to this day have no idea why they changed her. And even more why they made her more noob friendly.(which also is one of the reasons for later nerfs) Her E dmg. amp was not the problem (given how i.e. swain has also one) especially since you needed to HIT charm to actually do something. (unlike the current poke style)

Her current state makes me seriously pissed off. Just don't buy RP till they revert her.

Wrong/Lie

There are many people who did so. Why? Ahri is a generalist and when you leave a generalist strong, there's no reason to pick anyone other and it baffles me that you are complaining about her being weak while also saying "you left her with 53% winrate so we don't complain". ROFL

Her ult's CD is STILL too low. The problem with it is that when it's up, you just can't do anything because the mobility is so good - either you all in/get a gank and she disengages and her ult will be off of CD before most midlaners' ults will so it's not really a loss for her, or she will just dodge everything with it - doesn't matter, as long as she still is near, you take the damage - and kill you.

Then there's Charm. There are not many midlaners that can deal with that spell - assassins get it in their face instantly when they try to jump on her and immobile mages are condemned to just stay away as even a little misstep dooms you because her R->E combo has a very deceptive range and their CC casttimes are way too high to respond to that.

Ahri is probably as interactive as Yasuo or any champion of that type for that matter, she just has an answer for everything (mibility, poke/range, waveclear, sustain, CC - they are not the best, but it's all you need) and it's only up to her to fuck up, otherwise you cannot do anything.

I'm not even mentioning that the "rework reverting" you are talking about is only buff literally everything for the cost of the Q movement speed buff on a stable 53% winrate champion. You must be doing drugs.

Ahri sadly has some power allocation problems. Her Q has too much going on. While you can get Magic and True damage, you basically MUST have your target at or near max range for the True damage to reliably come through. The speed bonus while the orb is in flight is a rather unneeded bonus that gives her Q too much. Passive can feel valuable in lane, but is a bit problematic to stack without having to waste a spell to round out the stacking. In mid and late game, the passive largely feels worthless unless somehow you aren't threatened when taking a minion wave in a side lane, and if not threatened, you don't much need the spell vamp anyway as after applying objective pressure you can back to buy and regen anyway. W is just so weak. It's a sad afterthought only worth using to stack the passive and apply pillowslaps of damage to three random targets.

Ahri needs tweaks to make her feel better. Weaken the Q a bit (remove true damage, make return hit do extra normal magic), make W worthwhile, lessen the stacks or give the passive heal a small boost.
