External link →Uhhhh, isn't that just a complete revert of 13.19 LB's AS-related nerfs?
AS, yes. But AD and mana nerfs plus AP ratio buffs does a lot to shift her builds. Currently AD builds are substantially weaker.
Oops, forgot to include Ryze's actual change. He'll get AS also :)
So is the Ahri changes supposed to be a nerf?
If you don't run an AS shard, Ahri always has better attacks than before.
If you do, it's pretty negligible but is worse in some cases.
The AP shard seems to be clearly stronger on her despite being less popular. This should goad players into runing correctly.
Just curious -- is that overall data or does that include skews for matchups and rank?
I think it's a given that the average player doesn't and shouldn't be taking the AS shard given that it's purpose is to improve the effectivity of your early buys and punishing early game laning phase.
The WR difference holds at every MMR. Players are also more likely to take AS as MMR increases despite AP always outperforming.
It could be that this is somehow incredibly biased toward running AS in bad matchups and AP in good ones but from my experience, even professional players are not actually sophisticated enough to do this correctly.
