Mobility means little she can run from veigar okay but he can one shot her.


Disagree :x.
Ahri's mobility is not just a mere mobility.
The one thing I've come to appreciate about Ahri's Spirit Rush is the ability to keep enemies guessing which direction you can dash about.
Think of her as a ninja-wannabe.
Those 3 dashes can buy her a few seconds and save her from potential disables or being two shot down by abilities that aren't lock on based.

@TxT
Basically, in short, AP >< AP, all APs counter each other in one or another way. Its just that, some AP champs have skillsets which are potent in taking down other certain AP champs too.

Imagine a LeBlanc vs Veigar.
LeBlanc has a silence, a port, an albeit, unreliable stun, and an ult which considerably buffs up her entire skillset.
Veigar, has a lock on, an Aoe, AoE disabler and ult based lock on.

For Veigar to defeat LeBlanc, he needs to get his aims right, even if he threw his ult right at her, LB'd still survive 1/4 or 2/4 health still intact maybe ? On the other hand, LB has superior mobility for an AP, and can quickly evade Veigar's spells but porting back before players have a chance to react.

See the comparison ? LB > Veigar.

But imagine a Ryze taking LeBlanc.
Ryze has a nuke, a snare/stun, a MR-reducing bouncing spell and an ult which buffs all of his skillsets as well.
Our tattoo-ed man, compared to Veigar, stands a bigger chance in defeating LB, as Ryze is somewhat tanky for an AP champ.
He can instalock LB down, just for enough time to prevent LB from porting back, throw in his MR reducing spell and nuke her down.

Ryze > LB

See what I meant by AP >< AP ?
All APs counter one and another in some ways.
If one potential AP counters your favorite AP, you have to rely on skills and intelligence to outshine them.
If you fail at doing so, don't feel bad.

One thing I've always learned about mid-ing is that, first to ulti wins first (most of the time). And patience is key. Especially knowing that you're an Ahri mainer. Now with that nerf, you need to have even more patience to kite and poke ulti you're sure you can dive in to secure secure (double emphasis) a kill.

THANK YOU LACORPSE FOR THE SIGGY. YOU HAVE SUCH A GOOD FAN SERVICE :D !!

I have a request to all of the users on Mobafire. If it's not too much for you guys, do +Rep me if I've said something reasonable, crack a funny joke or provide the latest updates . Likewise, I've been +Rep-ing people so long as I find their post likeable. So let's help out each other now, shall we ;) ?

Don't remind me, I am now praying hard that he gets nerfed back to oblivion.

Age of Swain...haha real funny. He's too broken for that to be funny. Might as well be Swain of the millenium.


Be nice people. Just be nice. And be friendly. Then learn success.

No it's swain of ages(?)

It's been ages (forever) since I've ever seen a swain in normal game.
I think Swain's kinda cool,just that I dont have spare IP atm.
And Swain can counter veigar because?You build tons of hp and just laugh at his ult?

By the way, speaking of counters, anyone good with Ahri vs Fizz ?
