MORE AHRI GUIDES
33/50; Fantastic Guide. I'd like some more content added to the laning phase,
CHEATSHEET
team fighting, and roaming. For the most part, this guide covers most of the stuff
that ahri players are looking for to improve their play. I'd encourage you to take out
sections about non-viable summoner spells and items, as I don't feel that that adds
a whole lot to the guide, and ends up distracting the reader more than helping them.
Once you implement some of the changes to the comments i suggested below, i'll
be sure to scout this guide :) I really want to see this guide overtake xdanielwang's
ahri guide. This deserves to be top ahri guide. OH btw upvoted.

Correct; This is why it'd do you good to give your

readers an idea of what a max range Q looks like in
lane. Landing 2-3 max range Qs on your opponent
can single handedly win you the lane in some
matchups. I'd like you to add a little bit of a quiz, that
has you and an ranged opponent standing near a
minion wave, autoattacking creeps, and asking the
question, "is my opponent in range for a max range
Q?" -3

The games I lose to ahris are the ones where ahri

catches one of my carries with a flash charm. It'd
be really helpful to give your readers an idea of
EXACTLY how much catch potential ahri has, with
pictures of you successfully landing flash E's, or ult
+ E's on opponents that aren't being respectful
enough of her mobility -3

This is worded wrong. You should say that you have

a get out of jail free card with your spirit rush, but
you'll lose most all-in potential if you have to use it
defensively.

Give an example of one of your successful roams,

and analyze EXACTLY why your roam was
successful. Exactly what happened to make your
gank work out?
Some likely factors are:
Your lane is pushing
Your bot lane is getting pushed in and will be at
tower exactly when you get to bot lane
Your bot lane cleared your roaming path of wards
15 seconds before you started your roam
Your opponents have SOME reason to be playing
aggressively (they have all-in potential on one of
your bot laners, they might be able to take tower,
they would like to poke you under tower, they might
be coordinating a tower dive) -3

One should encourage picks in the mid game too.

It's quite easy to do since there are many neutral
objectives that players have to contest (outer
towers, dragons, etc). I'd really like you to teach
your readers exactly how to catch a carry with
something like a ult + e, or flash + e -1
Are there any times when it's better to be staying
near the back of your team instead of flanking your
opponents? You might want to go further into
depth about this.

So EXACTLY what is the "outside" of the fight at

the start? Hint: Use a picture to describe what you
mean - trust me it makes it a lot easier.
To be honest, I'd like you to upload analysis of
some of your ahri gameplay (or at least show some
screenshots). I think your readers would really
benefit from knowing WHY you went into a team
fight exactly when you did. Sure, it may be too
specific, but i truly think that teaching by example is
the best way to teach your readers.
Put bluntly, I won't +scout your guide until you add
this.

You talk a lot about waiting in brush to catch

carries, but you never talk about slow pushing a
minion wave. A Slow pushing minion wave gets so
big, that it can easily half-health tier 2 towers; Slow
pushed minion waves are much more desirable for
an ADC to come and clear.
