Dauntless Ahri- Add Q and E effects Riot please!

Uberejho··16 votes·2,005 views

Hello there! I am an avid Ahri main and I seriously think that with the new skin, Dauntless Ahri, it should include new Particle Effects and her Q and E abilities. Riot claims that they did not change the effects because they believe it will change the clarity of using her abilities while playing with the skin. Buying the skin should include those particle effects because... isn't that why we buy the skins? We buy skins because they change the effects and many others things. It doesn't really matter that maybe some of the "clarity" while using the skin, because we spend RP on a skin even if it obstructs gameplay sometimes. Let's be honest, so many other skins, like Firefighter Tristana and Pulsefire Ezreal, obstruct this clarity of gameplay. We still buy these skins though don't we? Nevertheless, I really would like to thank Riot for making so many Ahri skins and I do not want to sound unthankful for making this skin but I just believe that they should add effects to her Q and E.

Her passive should really be

"A color dependent on skin" -> Passive not ready

"Green" -> Passive is ready

That maintains both the gameplay clarity (If Ahri's ball is green her passive is up) while also giving more room for the ball to have more character on each skin. :>

So you would want more of that?

Oh no, but saying that for clarity issues they won't do it is weird. They don't have to make the skill hard to see when changing the animations, which they did with the Lux and Tf skins, so why not change the orbs color without making it invisible?

I think it's because her passive already makes the ball change color, and Riot doesn't want players to be confused whether it is the normal ball or her passive. (imagine, if popstar Ahri's regular ball was pink, and her passive made it teal, while Midnight Ahri had a Dark blue regular ball, while the passive made it orange) you suddenly have a bunch of unnecessary color clutter.

That is exactly what I was thinking man, i thought different colors were new particles, but I want them to change the e color. I dont like how its the same on every skin.(I main Ahri btw)

If nothing else, they could add a bit of that purple/black pixelation effect thing.

In general, Riot's new skins have a new, full set or particles that can even seem wierd. Skins like Battlecast Alpha Skarner, where It took me a whole game to figure that whatever he was doing was his Q, and Ravenborn Leblanc, where the Q didn't even seem like her Q at all, and where Her W mark thingy was pretty much completely unreadeable for me. We still love and buy these skins so I don't see why Riot has to hold back with this skin.

Her Q and E both have new particles, but still have base guidelines so as not to be unrecognizable. They added a new trail onto Q, and some extra, darker particles onto the E.

Ok thank you

Pretty sure most skins don't change the particles and effects. Hell, even some legendaries don't.

What are you talking about, her q already has effects on it, and her e doesn't really need a change. Meanwhile, I don't see how Firefighter Trist and Pulsefire Ezreal obstruct clarity....

I'm not too sure about Pulsefire Ezreal but Firefighter Tristana has projectiles in the form of water spraying out the gun and it feels strange looking at it if the attack is cancelled outright or at the last second. I may be wrong but I've always found her autoattacks a bit difficult to look at.

I don't really see Trist too often, but I always thought she still fired cannons in the water. Anyways, even if it's hard to see, it's an outdated skin and shouldn't be comparable to something released today with Rito's new standards. I mean, yeah I don't see why her charm can be a slightly different shade of pink/red but her orb is fine. It's already a different color with new particles.

Her Q has a dark red trail when the ball is going out, and the ball as a whole is a darker shade of blue than in other skins, I'm guessing they keep her ball blue in each skin because people are used to that to tell when u have passive stacked. Her E has some darker tails and an extra long particle trail vs the base in addition the the pink cloud thats always there, I'm assuming they keep charm pink every time because its kinda a warning to people, u see pink AVOID that skill shot. I get what you mean and I think they could afford to even go with like a magenta charm in this case to better match the skin motif & its something they have changed on other skins (head hunter Nid and her red spears vs her normal yellow-orange ones). But im guessing if they changed Ahri's charm too much they would run into a problem similar to what Frostfire Annie had soon after release with the really dark pyromania effect, in that the enemy can't see the spell as well as they normally can thus their reactions are thrown off which can introduce unfair advantages to the skin making all Ahri players who have X skin better than those who do not at the same skill level, and people will whine since its harder to see and thus dodge the darker charm

Can we please fix her feet while we're at it? They look soooo bad, and it makes the rest of her lower leg look weird. Seriously Riot, it would look fine with the normal shape.
