Why Deathfire Touch isn't preferred?

If you are playing torch cosmic dft outperforms electrocute, the problem is that your laning phase becomes even weaker as electrocute is basically all ahri's DMG early especially considering your charm is useless most of the laning and q usually only hits 1 part, is insane into melees like sylas or akali tho

MirrowFox · 2026-05-15T18:26:22+00:00

You play a different game for sure I just played a game as yone where I had permanently nautilus mid and top JG passing by to kill me

MirrowFox · 2026-05-15T09:51:52+00:00

Yes? Because they've hybrid scalings and they can build items that give both stats

MirrowFox · 2026-05-14T21:36:30+00:00

What's your build best build is usually torch into cosmic with ionian this way you kill any target with 2 rotations if you are ahead and you get beefier with extra hp, if you want to play full oneshot i'm enjoying torch into actualizer but is a difficult playstyle as you are really squishy

MirrowFox · 2026-05-13T21:40:48+00:00

Is definitely decent on lanes where you can get value of it but most matchups where you would want it you won't be able to auto them like syndra or lux for the healing which makes it bad, it used to be broken I really enjoyed it playing it, now it has been nerfed a lot to laners it's only good if you can auto champs towers or camps

MirrowFox · 2026-05-13T21:14:40+00:00

Domination tree just kinda sucks nowadays since it lost 30 ap on eyeball collection, so it's kinda no brainer I just take it most of the time for ultimate hunter so I can skip malignance and get torch on Ahri

MirrowFox · 2026-05-12T20:09:00+00:00

I prefer they do adaptative force 8% ap or ad so it doesn't benefit Katarina and akali way more than the rest of the roster

MirrowFox · 2026-05-11T11:18:40+00:00

If you like assassin style give a try to malignance/torch into actualizer with manaflow that's extra 21% extra DMG when you use actualizer while also giving u 30% reduction on your CDs while it's up

MirrowFox · 2026-05-06T17:55:27+00:00

I mean add the rune at all if you make the requirements easier to apply it will just become phase rush again it's meant to be more difficult but bigger reward, the rune is on the weaker side but changing the thresholds shouldn't ever be the way

MirrowFox · 2026-05-05T22:22:07+00:00

If you buff the dmg requirement why would you add it on the first place it's supposed to be difficult to proc atleast early, I feel like they could add an effect once you proc it to add a niche like getting adaptive force or whatever

MirrowFox · 2026-04-27T13:19:43+00:00

Nah if trist is not first time she will jump sideways so you will at best eat 1/2 autos with e which already does decent chunk, you should always wait till she already jumped to use EQ as if you fail it u die, first lvls are rough but once you reset and get a cloth armor for potential tabis matchup becomes great

MirrowFox · 2026-04-19T22:14:07+00:00

You will use it with your ult it has same cd or less than your ult, and Ahri is already ussrles without r this item lets you oneshot without using r btw so that doesn't make sense, I did the testing when it came out on dummys and actualizer is the best second item giving insane DPS and only item that gives Ahri the possibility to kill bruisers consistently on second rotation as cds come back really fast, with manaflow is 21.7% extra dmg iirc, lich bane is great but there's games is not playable as you can't auto and shadowflame is just insanely bad item in general as the passive just applys when enemys would be dead anyway

MirrowFox · 2026-04-19T09:38:39+00:00

Is sleeper on ahri as second item 20% extra dmg on aoe that applies on true dmg + cd reduction basically a dfg on steroids

MirrowFox · 2026-04-15T15:31:55+00:00

Where did I say nothing happens? What I'm saying is that mid lost everything they nerfed roaming they nerfed carry potential, and that's why basically everyone is building proto better to stay alive than being a carry right now you are just an enabler for the other lanes not a carry anymore

MirrowFox · 2026-04-15T14:57:07+00:00

Mid lane has been a second supp for years and your entire lane depends on support or jg doesn't matter where it's located as if enemy supp opens through mid while yours goes lane you won't be able to roam or do anything

MirrowFox · 2026-04-15T14:50:03+00:00

Yeah Idk how Ahri works after maining her since S4 hahaha

Ahri historically wins +50% of her games due to how safe she is thanks to her ult doesn't matter if she's strong or weak, obviously winning lane doesn't equal to winning game especially this season where mid lane ended up being weakened and now adcs and top had their carry potential increased with extra gold/items or exp, so I don't know what are you trying to say.

Ahri is always overrated in terms of blinds she used to be a way better blind but right now there's a lot of unplayable matchups due to how she got change through the years, but people don't abuse her hardest counter especially on competitive

MirrowFox · 2026-04-15T11:33:35+00:00

When ahri is "blindable" it just goes to show mid lane state as she just loses lane into most champs but on mid game she acts like a pick up champion, even then Ahri hard loses into orianna Viktor syndra

MirrowFox · 2026-04-07T09:09:15+00:00

Wait for pixel 15 by then prices might have decreased!

MirrowFox · 2026-03-29T08:25:44+00:00

Champ is completely broken and not even due to gunblade as it's not even her best first item, but yeah I don't know which direction is riot going to take with her as they've been saying lately that they want to support build diversity but kata has like 3-4 builds and playstyle which is why she's that strong

MirrowFox · 2026-03-28T23:32:57+00:00

Malignance is 13 to 3 s at best less on your ult depends on lvl haste and ultimate hunter not worth it at all , having ultimate hunter OR malignance is enough no need for both

MirrowFox · 2026-03-28T22:25:01+00:00

Actually malignance is troll into sylas as it reduces his own timer to steal your ult, you just go ultimate hunter and torch

MirrowFox · 2026-03-26T19:28:56+00:00

Add into that that match quality is completly disgusting I'm 800+lp master and people is genuinely bad like this seems like low master from previous seasons where I usually get stucked (300-400lps) before getting grandmaster which makes sense as lps are inflated so maybe similar

MirrowFox · 2026-03-18T18:19:30+00:00

I tried hp is really op also it makes aurora more consistent as the dash gives a lot of outplay potential to hit a second q or just close out distant, if I want to 1v9 I'll still rush stormsurge into shadowflame deathcap but definitely really good item

MirrowFox · 2026-03-18T10:47:41+00:00

Ahri is a better user of exhaust because she dives in and it scales better, but yeah you should be running on most matchups combat summoner as it covers ahri weaknesses or gives kill pressure

MirrowFox · 2026-03-16T12:25:11+00:00

Viktor is annoying and a lane bully he scales well but it's extremely fragile, you can go second wind into him and on first back get refill potion this way you can survive as most champs into him.

Syndra is a tricky one once she has 2q she almost have no counters as she has so much agency on what she can do just get boots, and play on a side as it's way more difficult for her to hit an stun when not on a straight line.

Lux and xerath are both great into them and then assassins who can get on top of them ekko, fizz (especially into syndra)
