[Reaction] AHRI OTP REACTS TO AHRI REWORK!!

[@DynastyUK_]

Super low quality video and kinda cringe! BUT they get views so fuck it! Also once again sorry for the awful Lighting on my Webcam i've been trying to fix it for a long time but still can't, will try not to make it happen again!

love the vid keep going king

I was hoping they'd swap R and W, a bit like they did for Diana, with a condition for refreshing the dash (example: it refreshes if you damage targets hit by charm with it). I honestly like Ahri turning more into an agile caster that does less damage but has sustain and is better at longer fight, and they sort of seem to be going for that, but I don't believe Ahri is truly going to be able to do that until they unlock her dashes. I also don't like that they're moving more damage to her W, but I do like the reduced mana costs and extended move speed duration. Finally, the health, regen, and def nerf is going to hurt a lot; I hope the (arguably) increased sustain will be enough to make up for it. We'll see, but I'm rather underwhelmed overall.

Now is a very strong ultimate and a very strong passive...

[@transient_moonlight]

@@JoseGonzalez-wj8nz Yeah, but it doesn't solve her problem: that she has no direction--either make her an assassin, or make her a hit and run battlemage. I prefer the latter, tbh. This is why I said that the rework is underwhelming. It comes off as random changes, rather than targeted at giving Ahri a gameplay identity.

[@JoseGonzalez-wj8nz]

@@transient_moonlight Actually it is solved. She's a mage xD And also these changes solve other things. Like Ahri being the champion with less pentakills if you don't count supports and tanks. And also she has lower damage but now she has a reliable healing during teamfights (it means she's a champion with low burst, but constant damage and sustain during fights). That way she can play fights slowly making picks instead of going like a fool against the most "easy to kill" of the enemy team hopping he die to make your champion useful.

[@transient_moonlight]

@@JoseGonzalez-wj8nz who cares about pentas, though. Ahri needs to kill in order to heal, so you still need to go after easier to kill targets to get heals and dashes. The difference is that you don't have the damage to burst down people, and your sustained damage is lackluster. I mean, if you want to dish out sustained damage, you pick a battlemage like swain, or a marksman, not Ahri. Basically, they gave her less damage, and a snowball mechanic that you can only reliably proc when fed, which is bad design. A much better design choice would be giving her the Diana treatment, thus making your dash more reliable (not tied to ult, or to some wonky reset mechanic). But like I said, time will tell.

[@JoseGonzalez-wj8nz]

@@transient_moonlight Believe me, I have been spamming that on PBE, she can abuse it pretty heavy.

[@sakutaro3musik486]

I like most of the changes, tho I would prefer her to have a megic res nerf instead of armor, so that adc can´t kill her with 2 shots ^^´ Also wish she would have better ap scalings, but I take the changes and try to experiment, might try to build her with my lilia build maybe even try tear again

[@kikis_cat]

Hey hun, love your reaction could you do a gameplay of the rework using a cute skin like new kda? I really want to see the skins vfx 💓💝💝♥♥

[@DynastyUK_]

Yeah 100% I’ll be going through all the skins and new VFX as soon as they’re out 😃

[@chiidybang370]

Just dont go fullburst. Liandry into cosmic and maybe lich bane. YOu extend the takedowns timer to 7 seconds with liandry, you have 0 cooldowns, movementspeed over the top and your ult can be up for like 50 seconds. Its only 9% less dmg in lategame than before with 1 rotation+1r. But you can spawn your ult more often-----> overall you might deal more dmg than before in a teamfight but less burst dmg to 1 target.

[@DynastyUK_]

I 100% agree Liandry/Cosmic is gonna be a core build on her me and LegitKorea theory crafted on this and came up with the idea that Liandry/Cosmic is gonna be pretty much the most viable build but we'll see how it plays out when it goes PBE/Live
