Thanks for tuning in legend ❤

As a high challenger player and the current rank 1 Ahri on NA im actually super impressed with just how accurate and detailed you are with a lot of things in this video. Usually a lot of these types of guides feel like theyre quite surface level, but this one is honestly very good. A thing I do think could be mentioned a bit more when it comes to playing Ahri is how to manouvre and find flanking positions during the midgame, as this is the main way Ahri carries midgame fights. For example if your team is controlling an area of the map around an objective, anticipating where the enemy team is going to move to contest and retake the space, and position yourself accordingly. Other thing is opening through midlane during the midgame, because you can often catch the enemy botlane when the midwaves meet. Overall though really good guide very very accurate and valuable for all levels of play id say

This was incredibly useful and started to stomp on Ahri now. Thanks for the rune/item/playstyle break down

thankyou so much for these videos, they help immensely when trying to pick up a new champion. I dont know why so many people on youtube put up a single gameplay and call it a guide! This is a proper guide.

Thank you so much for making this, learned a lot of good stuff

Ty coach for the guide. Really exited to wach it.

Long waited my coach thx a lot for clearing things up ... let's practice hitting these Qs 😅❤❤❤

thanks for this guide. I recently started playing ahri in my pool and watched your older guide on her.

5:59 one thing to note, if you do this setup into LB it actually changes how the matchup is played, and this typically benefits you. Typically, leblanc goes ignite and looks for a hard trade on the first 3 waves, so that she can kill you with ignite + combo on next rotation. Bone-plating completely ruins this gameplan, and typically if you choose to go ludens/liandries you can outdamage her in controlled fights.

saw the title and couldn’t belive my eyes. hyped to see and hopefully learn from the video. i’m a long time bbc listener and resonated a lot with your statement that there is no real reference point clarity when playing ahri. i tried figuring out my own ways and am still experimenting. thanks for the video coach 💪

Had a break from lol for over a year, just came back today and decided to play Ahri for now while I'm getting back into the game. Opened my favo coaching yt channel and well well well what do I see. Feels like Curtis sensei always got my back.

This is excellent, thank you so much for this.

thank you !! I've really been unable to make ahri work at all this season, hopefully this will help :')

Very helpful I saw people with different builds but never understood why or how

Haha I just put her back into my three champs to play after having some good results. Perfect timing! Cheers Coach :D

Amazing video, very useful!

Omg I was looking for so many ahri guides and then the legend himself uploaded it in the right time for me

as an ahri main this is just what I needed!

Thank you for the guide Coach Curtis. Also shout out to LegitKorea. His gameplay commentaries are great for learning Ahri.

Nice guide ! Thanks i learned a lot :D

Couple extras: 1. Dont help with baron unless the enemy is aced, you are more valuable delaying the enemy engage, they cant if your charm is up (be between the enemy base and the baron, or in the river bush). Your dps is low, youe CC and burst is high. 2. Even if you kose the teamfight, dont int, your waveclear is amazing and you can sometimes hold 3v1 shoving waves. Hold your charm so they cant dive, or worst case trade 1 for 1 if they do dive, which buys your team more time to revive. 3. If ahead and have your R, you can act as a split pusher sometimes, because very few champs can out speed you if they come to get you, and you can kite and 1v1 all non-tanks. 4. Be patient with your R2 and R3, wait for a few seconds so that your Q and W are up again before going in again, you can do 2 full combos and late game even 3 in one ult usage. 5. Flash is faster then Ult, if you need to be instant, prioritize your flash. Also flash is more defensively oriented, because it doesnt deal damage on your way in. 6. As an extention to point 5, you can suprise and cover a lot of distance combining flash+ult+e in case you see an enemy recalling or something under turret you can dive that and ult back out super fast.

Literally today I've finally decided which champ to main in ranks, and it was Ahri. I'm going to watch this whole thing now !

I don't plan to play Ahri ever, but I'll watch because it's cool to know what to expect with her on the ally/enemy team

@cupidok2768

Жыл бұрын

did you see faker's charm

Cosmic drive has been the highest winrate 2nd, 3rd, 4th (and mostly 5th) item for ahri. I feel like it compliments her well. She has burst, but not enough to kill consistently. She also has her w which is not really a skillshot, can be cast while moving, gives movespeed and is low cd. Putting all those together, it seems that she is supposed to full combo where she can but consistently poke with w. She can go in with R, full combo then get out, continue poking with w till you can R back in to finish. The more obvious playstyle tho, is to poke with w till you can go in with R to finish the job (since she doesn't have the burst to outright go in and 100-0. This also makes sense when you take into account that liandry's has been top wr for basically the past 4 patches. Her w poke is safe but not that high damage. Liandry's damage doesn't care about the damage of the ability that procs it, just that an ability hit an enemy. It also can proc on multiple people which is neat. Liandry's also makes her kinda good into tanks and bruisers since you get a %dmg increase against health stackers and she also has true damage on her Q. The recent change to cosmic (100ap 30 haste version) is kinda better (still highest wr) than the old version. Ahri can proc it with her w alone which is super neat since she can gain access to up to 25% MS in somewhat neutral game which makes her that much more slippery and safe when she is poking. She can dodge more skill shots and she can use Q without getting punished as hard since she has MS stacked up on cosmic. The high ability haste also means she throws out more charms which is neat and also has more uptime on ult. Her ult being up allows her to play way more aggressively so if you somehow manage to screw up with your high range W which gives MS and can be cast while moving while also having cosmic move speed you can still get out of jail free with ult. Having your ult up can also psychologically help people play better since you feel more comfortable doing a risky play. This mainly helps when a player thinks a play is more risky than it is (usually due to confidence loss from previous games or losing lane). EDIT: I'm not saying you're wrong for not recommending it, since the version when you posted this video was knew and no one really played about with it. It was undoubtedly worse than the new version we had but even the old version (90ap 30ah version) was still top wr on ahri and helped when you full combo and then followed up with poking (also the 5% unconditional ms and 30 ah helped poking, without the need to proc the passive).

You were gone for a couple months and this is the video you come back with. My heart is so full. As an Ahri Main I’m so happy 🙏🏾 🥹💯

This guide saved my life

holy shit the legend is back, I love this series

This is destiny. I was just getting back into playing Ahri and you already know this is gonna be a banger! LETS GO

Happy to see this as an ahri main!

Just as I was thinking of adding Ahri to my pool for the very reasons you state, Coach Curtis releases pure GOLD

Finally you are back !

I played Ahri even before her rework and I'm absolutely in love with this champion. I didnt like first strike as much, but I found out to myself that it's extremely good against melees that are hard to kill, like tanks or bruisers on mid (Sett, Morde, Cho'Gath, etc), and you just chilling and stacking gold on them. I still cant play first strike into lot of melee matchups becsude i dont feel dng without aery. This guide tbh really helped me with new runes and items setup (especially about resolve tree second, that I saw in Chovy games first time) that I wanted to learn myself. Great content, keep it up! (also note: first strike with ulti hunter and tob also feels good, but you need biscuits for mana)

Any time I get notified of a Curtis upload my dopamine goes BRRrr

I respect that you're humble enough to ask for your student's input in this guide. That might sound silly considering he's GM, but a lot of Challengers seem to really look down on GM players. Hell, a lot of Challengers seem to look down on other Challengers. Listening to the podcast and all, I've gotten the impression that you're far more down to earth and have more respect for both the game and the players who are struggling than a lot of other community members. Cheers mate. Btw, you forgot the https on the twitch link so it's not clickable in the description. Anyway, I honestly feel like Luden's is so underwhelming these days. With how tanky the meta is, going anything other than Liandry's and Sorc shoes just feels so weak on most champions. One-shotting people just doesn't seem to really happen with Ahri anymore. Maybe it's a lower ELO problem with games going on forever because no one knows how to end games, but I've literally had games where I'm 10 cspm, a few kills, no deaths...and then all of a sudden I do zero damage because I couldn't convince my team to pressure leads early on and now the entire enemy team is too tanky. Only way I've found around this is to go Liandry's + Cosmic. I usually play electrocute though. Maybe First strike helps with the damage later. I'll have to give the Everfrost + Horizon combo a try. I've always felt useless and like I did zero damage the few times I've tried Everfrost. It always seemed more like a "support" item that you would take in a competitive premade team environment. (Proplay, Clash, etc). Not that it's bad, just that...it seemed too reliant on teammates for solo queue. It feels terrible to build it and then all of a sudden you realize you have to be the wincon for the team but aren't doing enough damage to actually pull it off. BTW, I noticed that LegitKorea maxs W on Ahri...I've never seen anyone else do this, what do you think about it?

@CoachCurtis

Жыл бұрын

I can't comment too much on W max Ahri. I'm assuming he does it into lower ranged matchups for heavy trading? Maybe because its more reliable and lower CD as its leveled or lower mana costs? The downside of the W max is that you have less wave clear though. I'd have to look into it further before I give a final verdict

Thanks for this. Gold Ahri main. watched this video, got an S in all four games played today. poggers.

I'm an aspirant to be a professional brawlhalla player and your psychology videos REALLY helped me out, mainly because it is a fighting game and the nerves are always up there, TYSM for the awesome content, I hope I can come back here an year later to say that I achieved my dream cuz of you

great video but I got a few notes to add about some items: 14:50 horizon focus is pretty good on ahri, yes. some of the reasons for this that you didn't mention is the extra vision helps you land W/R bolts, and the % dmg amp applies on the true damage from Q2. it makes for pretty potent max range Q pokes if you can land those reliably. also due to the weird way the "700 range" requirement on HF is calculated, it's very easy to proc it with an R dash. the enemy only needs to be >700 units away from your R dash START position. (this actually happens at 51:39 where you proc HF on draven with R) 15:15 the shield part of shadowflame passive is mostly bait imo. the big value is in the mpen you get in the early game, as the mpen scales off the current hp of the enemy. hp is overall lower in the early game and so you get the high mpen value of shadowflame much easier without shields even entering the equation. personally not a fan of this item since it lacks haste, though. 16:30 I love new cosmic drive on ahri. hp is overrated imo when you have enough speed and haste to kite and dodge everything. it pairs well with ludens for successive hit 'n run pokes given the low cd of ludens and each ability hit reducing its cd even more. on top of that, ludens gives an initial burst of move speed before the cosmic passive stacks up. it even goes fairly well with liandrys for a playstyle where you whittle enemies down over time while staying out of their range. I build cosmic drive in most games. 59:00 you can do the same with ludens as long as you build extra haste. the way I look at it is that ludens amps dmg vs low mr targets, while liandrys amps dmg vs high hp targets. haste is what allows you to be more of a "carry" with consistent threats. 1:04:29 this is another reason why I like cosmic drive. the haste and speed gives you the option to make plays and escape even without your R. obviously R is still amazing, but you're not a sitting duck without it if you have cosmic drive. this also favours saving your R dashes for offensive plays instead of defensive plays. the high amount of haste also helps reduce R cooldown, especially in builds without ultimate hunter.

I['ll try out cosmic drive on Ahri. Been building Horizon Focus every game (have 23 games on ahri). ALomst always with ludens.

amazing guide, really simple and explained well! Just a question, when was the chovy vod recorded? They were taking way too much damage, kind of seems like pre-durability update

You are spot on I main champs like Viktor and case but hate champs that are mobile. Even tho I hate mobility I need it in my pool so ahri was my best bet.

Chovy is amazing holy moly

I'd so appreciate an update on Taliyah

Man even coming in having played Ahri since like Season 4 this is so so useful just for remembering basics and having it all laid out cleanly and efficiently, well done coach! Quick question tho, since the Lost chapter cost reduction to 1100 is the lucidity boots rush still worth it in those faster games or does that LC just have more impact in your experience?

hey coach! are u thinking of ever making a talon guide?

This is so perfect thank you Coach Curtis. I've been thinking about which champ to main for ranked (I've played about ten ranked games over my two years of playing league) and whenever I would play normals I had a draw to playing Ahri. I think this is the sign I need to get going finally. I've been trying to work on some Stage Four issues but I have to queue up at some point. Much love Coach.

Love it

God I hope an Akali guide is coming.

Nice

Yes thank you coach >:)

These guides are really helpful. Hard to find guides for plat-diamond players that aren't generic/surface-level stuff. Could you do one for Viktor? Or is the season 11 guide still viable?

Thx for the video can u do a katarina guide too plz?😊

Hey Curtis, Great to see another video like this. Related question; I've been playing a lot of TF but acknowledge his weakness as a blind pick/ into and with certain team compositions. I was considering Ahri as a second champion that serves as more of an all rounder / better blind pick. Are there any other champions that you feel fill the holes that TF leaves in a champ pool. If this is a bad TF game chances are it will be a good (X champion) game. Thanks for your time coach

@arrowliners3812

Жыл бұрын

Ahri could definitely be a good second champ in your pool. You can pick her into those games where TF doesn’t seem that good but there are still gonna be situations where TF can have more value than Ahri so her being in your pool does not devalue TF. As for other champions that are similar, Galio and Sylas could be worth looking into (Galio being a bit more on the facilitator side and sylas more skirmish heavy)

Hey Curtis, 8 years Ahri main here. You forget about a path of Rylais + any three mythic mentioned on video. I’m a Rylais abuser and I always win games. Rylais is much more better then Everfrost and it’s a perfect item on Ahri while it’s much more sustainable plus versatile on engage/defense. I build Ludens/Liandrys + Rylais on every game and it never outdate. You need to have a try on it!

Hey Coach Curtis. That's a really good Ahri guide and I really appreciate your effort. I played Ahri quite often this season and would like to hear your opinion In terms of itemisation. I am a huge fan of Liandries, especially because of the in-and-out playstyle. Due to the fact of the scaling potential of Liandries, that you also have mentioned in your video, I prefer building Rabadons as a second item. The advantage of Rabadons second is, that it gives the most damage outcome possible and also increases the damage of Liandries. The disadvantage, however, are the costs of Rabadons, but because of playing SoloQ and choosing a scaling build path, I do not hesitate building Rabadons second. In order to further increase the damage, I also build Seraphs as a third item, mainly because of its adaption (AP instead of Ability Haste and because of the shield passive). What are your thoughts about it Curtis?

@CoachCurtis

Жыл бұрын

Well deathcap as a second item is not that good because it's expensive and the build path is too hard. SURE if you are super fed it can work, but I don't think it's a very reliable setup. Also the problem with deathcap 2nd after Liandrys is that you have no HP, you are FULL squishy, which I do not like. Seraphs third is good if you want to play for scaling, it does make sense with Liandrys. But I personally don't like delaying my mythic so I prefer not to spend gold on early tear. I also find it a little OVERKILL in terms of 'scaling'. But it is good

Maybe do an Update on the new Item builds, also something that confused me a lot was you talking about enemy teams and set up like something that can be predicted beforehand, but as far as I know we can't change our builds mid fight, can we?

Hey there. What do you think about Lich bane on Ahri?

could you ever do a cassio s13 guide ? or at least an item guide !

Can you do a Sylas guide?? That would be amazing

Can you do a guide on Akshan and or Yasuo?

Good Q are the ones you set up with the wave. W8 for AA animation they gona do on minion then Q or when they going for Canon easiet Qs,

Maybe a little update since the 1100 LC change? Personally I go FM every game now for a super cheap LC buy. Don’t think it’s necessary to start Crystal as well but I suppose it’s an option. FM seems to be enough making the LC around 950gp. Seems like a sweet spot.

when you were talking about Ahri disliking lockdown, did you mean on the allied or opposing team?

Hey Curtis thanks for the nice guide, I have two questions though: -In the faker review, how did he know Sylas wouldn't lvl 3 gank him as he is pushing? -You said ahri really comes online after 6, does that mean we should say no to 2v2 skirmishes before 6? Also love the podcast!
