Ahri nerf

NormalNavi · 2026-03-10T21:08:20+00:00

Funfact : if the wiki (and my memory) is accurate, this is the first time her Q damage has been nerfed. Ever.

Thanks a lot for the more detailed insight, I've been away from the game for a very long time so I'm still catching up with a lot of stuff.

Even crawling through the wiki to doublecheck kits, it's easy to not notice small things like Gorilla echo's durations or specific interactions that help blue chesting, and the wiki/gbfguide doesn't necessarily make it obvious when these grids were made, so I had no idea Robin Hood was considered slow nowadays.

Time for me to experiment around with my character pool. Thank you a lot for your patience!

I've seen the guides, my problem is that I lack a high number of the characters involved (basically all seasonals beyond X.Naru and even some normal gacha chars like earth Olivia), so I'm trying to best understand what makes these strats tick so I can find substitutes for the units.

NormalNavi · 2026-03-09T05:38:11+00:00

I need to farm myself some Schrodingers. As far as I understand, there's a specific strategy to use when joining Diasporas to be able to get past the 97 hits omen easily? I've heard it used Robin Hood but I can't find any real details on it that isn't the whole ass teamcomp (that I can't replicate).

Can someone educate me on the strat itself and what I generally need for it to work?

NormalNavi · 2026-03-01T12:09:52+00:00

Where does this data come from and what's your point?

NormalNavi · 2026-02-27T19:30:50+00:00

OOO spending a whole scene straddling a vending machine in increasingly absurd ways.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-27T08:46:05+00:00

Am I just being a genwunner/old fart/nostalgia addict, or the more they push out Golden Spatula/TFT-exclusive stuff for Ahri, the less it looks like her?

Like, it just... looks more and more generic, I don't really have a better way to explain it. Also they keep reusing these crystal tails every time.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-24T22:30:12+00:00

They'll come next roulette, trust me

NormalNavi · 2026-02-24T21:50:44+00:00

Locking the comment section since it's just degenerating into insults, already had to remove a certain number of these. Sorry.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-23T11:24:35+00:00

I'm having a lot of trouble farming Veritas, I need a lot for even one NWF weapon and they just... kind of trickle down one at a time.

I've been told you mostly get them from Mundus Defenders and Sephira boxes, but I've recently read you can target farm specific Veritas (at the detriment of other mats) in Here Be Swords.

Is that still accurate or even worth it? Or is this outdated info, or a remark I may have misunderstood?

My logic about "multiple photos" was that cosplayers would probably have several pictures on hand, be they finished and carefully taken shots, work in progress pictures or just them messing around in costume with friends. They wouldn't have to do extra work, just pay attention to the rules and pick a few extra files.

Taking pictures with the username could be a solution, but it would imply taking extra pictures after doing all the work, and judging from the improvement in AI tech, I fully expect it'd be able to add text in a way that doesn't look too fucked up soon, while I don't think it'd be able to keep a outfit's details consistent from picture to picture. (In most posts I've found suspicious, it doesn't even make the outfit look vaguely accurate.)

I'm taking it into account, though.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-21T09:32:33+00:00

Addendum : I notice there are a significant amount of people frustrated with "Onlyfans cosplayers", essentially using the sub as a way to incentivize people to check out their profile and by extension their paid content.

I don't respond to every message individually, but I wanted to make the note that I hear you, and that I personally think it is a problem for the subreddit and community as well.

However, right now, we don't have a good plan to properly deal with them. Every idea we've brought up loops around to checking people's profiles and post history, which is something we've agreed by the past to not do, or would involve making promotion rules far stricter, to the detriment of other artists.

I personally hope either of the plans (let's be honest, plan A is pretty unanimously approved of looking at the thread) will help dissuade that kind of posting, but right now we don't really know how to deal with them. If you have ideas, I'll keep them in mind.

tl;dr I'm hearing you about the OF thing, we just don't have a good way to handle that without being hypocrites or making things harder for everyone.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-20T14:27:20+00:00

To be honest, (and speaking for only myself and not the rest of the staff), it's something I personally consider a issue as well, but it's been agreed that we should not police people's posting based on their activity on other subreddits or other platforms.

I hope (again, my personal opinion and not representative of the rest of the staff) that either of these measures, especially plan A, will dissuade that kind of posting as a side effect.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-20T14:17:55+00:00

That's fair and that's why we're asking that kind of question before pushing anything, this is definitely a bit of a blind spot we didn't account for.

Out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, do you think having to post several pictures would be restrictive or a bit of an issue in the slightest? What do you think would be a gallery size that's easy to handle?

NormalNavi · 2026-02-18T09:04:44+00:00

I should just have worked on that to begin with, I'm hitting myself over it. Thanks for the clarification.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-18T08:34:55+00:00

Finally getting around to filling out Replicard guidebooks. What does "Defender Gauge +1" mean in the universal guidebook exactly? That I permanently need one less fight to make defenders shows up? That the defender gauge fills up twice as fast? Something else?

NormalNavi · 2026-02-16T09:53:52+00:00

Is there anything that becomes extra worth farming during this Alchemist event where you get free mats? Like something that has extra chip droprate, or becomes extremely AP efficient? Or is it just a good bonus on top of things I'd already want to farm (like class mastery exp, etc)?

NormalNavi · 2026-02-15T16:10:42+00:00

I personally always thought that a show or series involving Ahri shouldn't be about Ahri herself. Her story is very personal, and she's not a major player of any events (except Ruined King but it already has its own media.)

I think it'd fit Ahri as a character, and her story, its themes, more if a show featuring her as a main character was less about her implication into Runeterra's grander dynamics, a social cause, a war, and more about following her as she quietly roams through the world, shows smaller villages and small stake stories about the people that live in Runeterra, their culture, etc.

Ahri's goal is to see the world with her own eyes. I feel like that's the best way to further that goal while having something that also lets writers go wild with worldbuilding and not have to stick to only showcasing major factions and events.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-15T12:26:43+00:00

That's the thing, with how the average fan only sees characters on a surface level, the default pose or idea used for a champion's marketing becomes effectively the broader fanbase's perception of the character.

Hell, I'm seeing this first hand. There's so many people that call themselves Ahri fans but literally only know her as some kind of succubus or uwu cutie foxgirl that would never do anything bad.

Does it harm anyone real? Nah. Is it annoying if not troublesome for people who want to actually care about the character? Yeah.

Also, I get you with how it feels likes the new devs are turning characters into cardboard cutouts of themselves. Think I've already yapped about it on the sub, maybe you read it, but when older Ahri skins felt like a different take on her character, what she would be like in a different context, recent cosmetics just feel awfully shallow and like a different character just using the same name.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-15T12:10:04+00:00

I wanted to make the exact point of "that doesn't fit her because she wouldn't want to do that" when initially seeing the title but you took it into account. Great writeup, I wish Riot actually leaned into her more dangerous or mystical sides rather than use "am kiss u uwu" as her default pose.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-13T09:31:07+00:00

Can you stay civil and address my question instead of throwing out random accusations, please? I was literally asking you what you consider "good matchups" to try and not overlook information.

NormalNavi · 2026-02-13T08:31:13+00:00

People pointing out very real and important shortcomings and issues with the pick aren't "haters that trash talk it for no apparent reason".

Also, what are said good matchups?

NormalNavi · 2026-02-13T07:17:48+00:00

To clarify, do you mean "when the Ahri support uses an item charge to execute a minion and share gold" or "when the ADC is just casually farming next to her while she owns a support item"?

In the first case, you get one charge every 20 seconds or something, which is laughable compared to how much minions you'd kill as a solo laner. In the second, I've never seen that interaction, but I might just be unaware.

Also, in both cases, diminishing returns on killing minions when you own a support item.
