It's funny because Ahri is underpowered, has subpar ratios, and practically everything she does can be dodged


I agree, but I think her R and E and having somewhat low cooldowns make up for her lower damage somewhat.

She is fun to play at any rate.

Nowadays, having a big burst >>>>> having good sustained damage as a non AoE mage (like Karthus, people like Xerath have tiny AoEs so they barely count).

Basically, in a lane, people don't go in, have a fight for 20 seconds, then retreat, it's short trades or committing to a kill. As far as her E goes, it's not THAT good of a spell anyway. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's a short, unreliable CC. Wouldn't you rather have Xerath's low cooldown Mage Chains?

Ahri is fine the way she is.
If you cant dodge her abilities then that is your fault.

I have played against people who could dodge my **** like no tomorrow and then the stupid ones that just stand there.

Her ball only goes in one direction.. Just move out of it. If it hits you at the tip of the shot it only does the AP dmg and not the true damage.

Her ULT makes up for her cooldowns I think. Once her ult is up and on CD she really can't get away from you.

That's my opinion.

Sure after laning phase Ahri is kind of meh. But in laning phase when you're a champ like Karthus or Viktor who don't have burst ultimates she just jumps to you, taunt and then Q + E and ignite. If you are non-burst AP champion that doesn't have much mobility you can't do ****.

The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

Naturally.

Nevertheless, a decent ult doesn't make a champion, and the fact it requires you to get closer to do damage is a fatal flaw.

People complain about her triple/quad flash potential....She's a 1v1 assassin but her abilities have JUST enough damage to make 1v1 a possibility. She's a lane winning champ. Her powercurve is similar to LeBlanc's but LeBlanc starts slightly lower in terms of burst (burst=full combo/time) Ahri on the other hand has a slightly higher start, she still does nice early damage for having **** ratios, but her mid game and late game fall off and as far as I can tell she actually drops well below a lot of other champ's bursts.

Sustained DPS champs are Cass/Karth/Victor(?)/Ryze all have short CD abilities with solid damage, but what keeps them competative late game is their ability to consistently put out damage over extended durations. They HAVE a burst combo but unlike Annie/Veigar their burst is slightly less. But unlike Annie/Veigar once their Hadoken has fired they have most of their CDs up to continue fighting.

Ahri falls somewhere in the middle. A perfect Hadoken for her would be E+Q+W+R+Q+R+W+R (with little to no minions present) or something similar spacing her CDs to keep her damage constant, as well as giving the player time to land what they need when they need to. But once her full rotation is out her charm is still on CD and she has no escape. Her Q/W come up rather quickly but being so intently reliant on landing her combos semi-perfectly her damage becomes unreliable, ESPECIALLY against skilled opponents who know how to dodge.

She LOOKS built for team fights because of her seemingly 90% AoE spell selection but what she excells at is short duration 1v1 fights..Somewhat of a "burst DPS" rather than sustained, the more people around when she's attemtping to fight someone the worse off she is because her Fox Fire (her highest base damage spell) then splits between the 3 people/minions in range.

People think she's OP because they fail at avoiding her "pillar mechanic" skill shots. They also think she's OP because her early game damage ca be overwhelming. What they fail to realize is that she isn't built for a long game. So they ***** and moan and try to say "OMG AHRI SO BROKEN 4 FLASHES WTF, SO MUCH DAMAGE", bad players making bad judgements, and blaming their frustration on champion mechanics that they can't beat.

It's the same situation in any game. There are some truths here and there about unbalanced or broken mechanics, but Ahri IMO is balanced on the duration of a game as well as her mechanics. Just my rant ^_^ cheers

Didn't have time to read everything Jeffy said, but yeah...

Ahri shouldn't be nerfed. D:
