Cereal-Let's talk about Ahri

Ginjavitis··4 votes·3,475 views

After many, many games of spamming Ahri, i have come to the conclusion that, while she is not my favorite champion, she is probably the best all around mid champion there is....behind, ahead, multiple build paths, against AD, tanks, hypercarries, assassins, vs mobility....she does well everywhere and as long as the enemy team can't blink and stun/hard CC you she is amazing. What are your thoughts on the future of this awesome champion? Ahri

Ahri has no hardcounters, ahri hardcounters no one

She is the ideal Ahri is the best champ Ahri is inherently better than all other champions, efficiency is irrelevant Ahri is the Ahri of lol!!!

Ahri is a playmaker who can do all the things even when behind and yet when she falls behind she still feels like the underdog fighting for victory unlike some champs who despite also being balanced will not "feel" like they are even behind simply because they hit level 6.

She is the only mage assassin who actually acts like a hybrid rather than a bipolar hypermobile psychoburster, her design is graceful and elegant like her sexy curves. Ahri is everyones waifu, she's fun for everyone! (the opposite of anti-fun)

Ahri is also the champ the pros turn to when seemingly OP comps are dominating the meta.

She stopped the kog'maw She ended oriannas winstreak She crushed the fizz fad between her sweet honey ionian thighs like a watermelon on a gameshow She even managed to make prerework kassadin **** himself.

Whats more is that ahri has a skin for each season and a holiday skin. Now she just needs enough skins to have more than teemo and everything is awesome!

By far my favorite line. As for Ahri being fun, I'm going to be hnest and just say I never saw her appeal. She just doesn't look that fun to me and I don't enjoy playing her as much as Gragas or Shaco (And possibly a newer love of Sion). Different tastes, but I persoanlly never saw her appeal.

What do you play her as anyway? Bursty assassin?

hmmm you seem to like the heavier shirtless men.. just saying.....

I play ahri as ahri. Ahri is the most hybrid mage assassin

ahri is always a mage ahri is always an assassin ahri is always ahri

When you attack a mage you make it so that the mage doesn't need the finesse of an assassin so they can just nuke your face off. When you attack an assassin you make it so that they can reach the next target faster and waste less resources chasing you like a mage so they don't need special resources or amazing AoE.

They say new charm was for "assassin ahri" but now mage ahri can more safely spam and punish the crap out of any dirty naughty champ that tries to bulrush her even harder than she did before. They say athenes = "mage ahri" but now assassin ahri can blow you... away... and still have energy for many more rounds... of stuff

I play ahri as ahri! Ahri is a mage/assassin. I think some games would have a more specific name for it but lol does not. For example shyv or vi would probably be called berzerkers. I guess it would be called sorcereress maybe

Go balls deep or nowhere at all. I really love that play style, because even if you're losing, you still have that burst of glory. It's like playing Captain Falcon in Melee or PM. You might lose, but you win anyway because you look so damn good, even when you're losing. It also tends to have a lot of comeback potential. Nothing like a Gragas ult to say "What is teamfight positioning?"

They say athenes = "mage ahri" but now assassin ahri can blow you... away... and still have energy for many more rounds... of stuff

I can give a thumbs up for this sentence. I guess her flexibility can lead to man fun things. I'm talking about play styles here... among other things.

In the Core rules, yes, there are more non-Int spellcasters to Int spellcasters. Bard and Sorcerer over Wizard. Then, you add Summoner vs. Witch and Magus, and they're equalized. Hybrid classes come in, Skald and Bloodrager vs. Arcanist.

You have 5 Charistma-based arcane spellcasters, and 4 Intelligence-based.

Still, how often do people build a Charisma-based character without Intelligence?

Well, to be fair, you can have Sorcerer use Int, Wis, or Cha with archetypes. You can also have Witch use Con with an archetype, which is silly. And now there's a Cha based Magus archetype.

Without Int? Not often. With Int at the same level as Cha? Not often. If I'm playing a Cha class, I'll usually put Int as my second or third lowest stat unless I'm playing a skill monkey.

Fair point, although basic Bards are the definition of skill monkeys.

It's just that the EK doesn't feel strong. BAB is only barely better than Magus, saves are worse than Magus, and Magus automatically gains armor proficiencies that don't affect arcane spells, instead of needing Arcane Armor feats. The only other theoretical situation I've considered using it is if the campaign goes past level 20, which is redundant when Mythic tiers exist..

Yes, but if I don't need the Int skills for whatever reason, then I don't bother much with Int. I already have enough skill points to be a problem.

Like I said, you can always combine it with Magus to cast MOAR SPELLS a turn. But for pretty much any of the prestige classes, they are at best on par but usually weaker than taking your base class to 20. But they tend to have fancy interesting abilities that can be used for wacky builds.

...dunno what youre talking about... but I think the more efficient path would be to add some more ahri. And then all your arcane things will flare up and you will be hard like a raidboss.

Funnily enough, now that they let you use a Cha based Magus, you could reasonably make a Kitsune Magus, thus adding Ahri. Though it's still not the ideal race for the class because of the hit to Str.

Kitsune is actually a really good choice of race, particularly for sorcerers. I could add Ahri to my game.

I now have the urge to make a Kitsune commoner, take the tail feats, and load up on star gems.

Like, for example, my magic sniper build. -Pick Halfling or Elf because they have racial benefits for Sniping stealth -Level 6 Rogue (Sniper archetype) -Level 4 Wizard (pretty much any archetype, focusing on Evocation and Divination) -Arcane Archer Prestige class.

You're going to have Far Shot plus Accuracy reducing range penalties to 1/4 (you can fire a composite longbow at it's maximum 1100 ft. range with only a -4 penalty) You can attach any AoE-based spell to your arrows, plus you get a lot of special abilities. Arcane Archer has the equivalent of Whirlwind Attack, up to (class level) targets within range at the highest attack bonus. Which will be literally everywhere that you can see. And nobody will be able to tell where the hell that Fireball came from c:

I'm running a silly high level campaign right now because my group whined when I kicked their ass with single NPCs of their level. Racial template+gestalt in PF is just as broken as it sounds. I have an optional fight set up for them that's 20 levels of Magus, 10 levels of EK, and 10 levels of it-doesn't-matter-anymore. This monstrosity will take the entire party and win. Probably on turn one. Because Dimensional chain full attack into 2 metamagic'd meteor swarms is fair.

... Every single time I start talking with other GMs, they tend to have more experience with systems, and they tend to be every bit as evil as I am. Why is that?

Because it takes some malevolent glee to be able to design fun and challenging encounters. It takes extreme sadism to make fights that you know will wreck their shit.

No, I have never heard of iDarkside, but if he is like bunies he MUST make insightful and engaging threads hitting the core of solid game design.

Basically he was a guy threw all these insightful words about every champion and how they might have been imbalanced. For example: "Fucking Shyvana doesn't deserve her damage" or "Veigar is so fucking OP" (Or needed massive buffs, forgot which) or "My main is underpowered!" Some random bullshit about some random champion about what they need based off his owned pathetic excuse of what he called logic.

He got better later on about his complaints, but the real reason why everybody hated him is because whenever you disagreed with him at all, he would throw the biggest fucking hissy fit. Then when people trashed him for it and downvoted him ASAP every time, "OMG EVERYBODY'S AGAINST ME WTF I DO?!?!? FUCK YOU FGTS" blah blah blah. He didn't use those words, but yeah, he was a big bitch- I mean, sage of wisdom.

I enjoy playing Ahri with Lichbane. Being mobile while having plenty of consistent damage. and while I can not delete people as easily as I could with deahtfire I can still quickly kill them since charm increases the damage from lichbane.
