The last patch didn't do much, they nerfed her earlygame because she was too stronk in lane. So in the end it didn't actually do that much I guess.

How did I contradict myself?
And if her total damage breaks even at around 400-500 ap, how is that a "nerf, period"? After that she does more damage from her complete combo, so meh. If she would have lost out on all stages of the game I'd have said nerf period. Now it is not.
Her early game is nerfed, cause she is a lane bully and EXTREMELY hard to face in lane. You say that without her early game she is nothing late, which is wrong but sure it hampers her. What they want to do with this early game nerf is allow the guy on the other side to have some kind of early game what so ever. Since most don't against Ahri.
Because this isn't an Ahri nerf thread, I wouldn't discuss much.
But here's the thing, Ahri doesn't need a nerf, because of whatever reasons you can find in the Ahri nerf thread.
You say its a late game buff.
Calculations have shown, the "buff" is a nerf.
Sure, at 800 AP everything'd capped and Ahri would be doing the same damage she did as before with Fox Fire.
It deals 1, or 2 less damage, call it 0.1 even.
That is still nerf, however RIOT or people claim its a buff.
Any decrease in everything is simply, A NERF.
Nuff said.
Plus, how are you gonna get 800 AP ?
For items, you have to forego sustainability.
Change your runes so much that Ahri probably doesn't get mana regen.
Oh and, you need a baron, elixir of brilliance and blue buff to get close to 800 AP.
And it's not even close.
Riot is just giving Ahri a buff in disguise as a nerf, so people wouldn't complain much.
That buff is simply there to make some players happy, but some of us know 800 AP is just way too impossible in some games.

It's a buff.
Its a late game buff that's almost impossible to attain with an early game nerf. Especially with Fox Fire. Even with calculations done, no one is denying that Fox Fire loses about 0.1 damage at cap point. 0.1 or 100, any decrease is still a nerf.
Conclusion : It's a nerf.
@Wonder
I thought its a well known marketing strategy, something bad happens, throw in something good as well :D. Especially in Riot.
@Amazing Monkey
Action packed <3. Right word to describe it. This is like the only art that shows Ahri all fired up for a battle. I wonder if she'd get some new lines too.
@Anandre
Before I knew it was an official skin, my first impression of Firefox Ahri was Shyvari, and someone decided to just do a fanart and combine both of them together. The pose that Ahri and Shyvana are literally the same, except that Ahri is holding her orb while Shyvana is showing her fist.
