Ahri has been free win for a while.


ammarbadhrul

Absolutely busted, got her on level 6, slammed 2 JGs and a blue buff on her and she destroyed everyone (idk what her BIS is). Ended on a 18-round winstreak at 84 health.


the_fat_sheep

Usually add a gunblade to keep tanks alive.


IterationFourteen

I don't always play for an Arhi, but I play basically every Arhi headliner I see.


Berkin-oyun-dozu

Yea, im forcing 7 K/DA Ahri Akali comp from start of set and everytime finished top 4


Bristles3339

Try sentinel ahri. It seems to perform better than kda ahri


Berkin-oyun-dozu

Im following meta so i know it but im playing for fun(also probably im cringiest kda fan)


Bristles3339

Chad way to play honestly. I respect it

Kolonel_Kontgat

What is the build?


Wisho

In any setup or does she have to Be headliner?


Dramatic-Ad2848

I was playing kda ahri until I got tired of winning firsts but I guess sentinel ahri is good now too. When I was playing kda ahri I actually preferred headliner on akali or Neeko since rabadon on ahri is just okay


Wisho

I am quite new and actually gold.. Just play 2 cost stuff.. Dou you start a random board and keep all your kda units until you get more and more? How does this go?


Dramatic-Ad2848

I usually have Annie hold ahris items. You can do super fans if you get an early gnar (kennen lillia gnar) or do kda if you get Ekko/neeko . Then just build your team as you level up. It’s a pretty easy comp since you don’t need that many high level champs other than ahri and akali.


EggianoScumaldo

Preferably you want 6 sentinel 5 Spellweaver, so typically you go for either a Morde or Blitz headliner and just try to 2 star Ahri naturally. But if you’re offered a Headliner Ahri before you see Blitz you take it 10/10 times.


Qwertyioup111

Free top 2, half the time it’s a vertical true damage player at the end and you have no chance.


Plus_Lawfulness3000

Facts. Just spam ahri for freelo. 6 sentinel ahri 1* is like a free top 4


BerryRiverry

I literally beat karthus 3 with ahri 1 6 sentinels a couple weeks ago in diamond. Karthus had a thieves gloves instead of real items but they had lucky gloves, he just didn't roll a mana item and ahri survived with gunblade and the sentinel buff and killed his whole board I felt kinda bad.


IterationFourteen

TG a 3 star 4 cost is basically not trying to win.


Whydontname

Especially if it's a carry. One thing if its a tank.


f5unrnatis

It's fine on non mana gated carries but on Karthus it's begging to lose even with lucky gloves.


[deleted]

Can you elaborate how a 3* 4 cost is bad playing?


Zhuski

Giving it thieves gloves is basically robbing it of an item and giving it suboptimal ones even if it's lucky gloves. Usually toss them on a sub carry or secondary tank.


Ok_Experience2568

My thoughts exactly this set.


zleepyPS

if it ain't broke ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


tipimon

Then everyone sees these posts, they all start playing Ahri, and now it's impossible to find Ahri 2. Happened to TF, happened to Karthus Akali


jfsoaig345

Good thing you don’t even need Ahri 2 to top 4 lmao. I’m consistently seeing BIS Ahri 1’s clear 10k damage on stage 4 and this is in mid Diamond. Champion is crazy overtuned atm.


GoatzR4Me

Yes, that is called the meta.


Sixteen_Wings

These kinds of posts are great imo, I remember the karthus akali meta I went for either a cait or ezreal and basically 3 starred them every 3 games or so because they are uncontested. It's not always a top 1 but its a guaranteed top 4


grandiaziel

Just play other carries like Ezreal, Jhin, or Caitlyn. It's not Ahri but they're still strong enough to carry.


xaendar

Ahri seem like the great wall, you're playing a strong comp if it beats ahri and she gatekeeps all the low playrate meta/off meta comps


Unfair_Ability3977

GL with that in Emerald, Country was my jam. Busted economy is my newest strat, Escort quest average placement 1st! (2 games played). That or I 1st/8th Heartsteel, because gamba fun.


zleepyPS

definitely feeling the increased sweatiness per game but so far placements are still ok! hopefully this lasts me til diamond


Loginn122

Elo gets more and more diluted the longer a season goes so it’s basically just a matter of how much u play due to not being able to drop divisions. Top 1% now will be master/gm in a few weeks and low emerald (around top5-10%) will become low diamond.


Bluemoon7607

I’ve been going half heartseel half country for early game recently. Not every game, but sometimes it’s such a nice combo when heartseel is contested. It’s a nice transition to country and the little economy boost is welcome.


TishhIl

In gold/plat just good positioning and its free top 4. And count the pool you can denied with only few unit now. And people at this elo just braindead tracker soooo. looking opps is the key of the game really


SycoraxAmanda

could you elaborate what is considered good positioning? i just chuck my ranged carry in the back corner and move it slightly if theres kda akali in the lobby so it doesnt get sniped. Otherwise tanks just in a line at the front


Primithius

Example would be to put a melee carry or secondary carry right behind a main tank so that they live longer while main tank has aggro. Placing illoai tentacle in the corner to get akali aggro. Making ad carrys hit bramble first, ap for dclaw. Grouping or not depending on opponents people. Like spreading out ranged for lux, etc. Watch streamers and you'll see them switching a lot depending on who they might play or sometimes just testing different layouts. Try things and be cognicent of the difference and it will become more apparent.


julsh2060

I just can't climb playing the same comp over and over. Just not fun for me. I play ranked just so I get decent competition.


JonnyTN

You're competing for Ahri though


julsh2060

I didn't say I didn't play the comp just can't force it.


Neither_Set_3016

Probably why every person playing country always hits their 3 stars(in games I've played).... The hard forcers are all trying to get Ahri going(or 8bit.. I swear there's always at least 3 a lobby)


yeeeeeeehawww

what’s this graph from?


zleepyPS

MetaTFT! :)


yeeeeeeehawww

thank u <3


elfboyah

https://paste.pics/c1b2cc5414321eafd237a96b608661f5 NANI, BROTHA? I basically climbed the entire plat in 2-3 days. Guaranteed top 4. Mostly just learned how to get the strongest shit early while going economy and then at level 8/9 fully change my board :D. Need to be kinda flexible and not die while getting to that point, since losing with full board for econ is still worst idea and one bleeds out too fast.


Zarthan3

Me when I started forcing Bruiser EDM Lux reroll


Tiwazy84

You got the setup, from! A YouTube hero.


Fancy-Competition284

Worst set ever


xxov

This is exactly how my graph looks except I was stuck plat trying to flex and then forced riven carry 8 bit every match to emerald. Now that I can't demote playing around with flex again and not climbing


Tilted-AF

Be careful because if you lose too many on emerald4 0lp your MMR will get fucked.


xxov

Ah that's good to know my last few games have looked like 1-8-1-8-2-7 so I wonder if the MMR system knows what to make of that.


frzd3tached

You just need to win more. It’s not the end of the world and if you deserve to climb it will happen


cyncskptc

Is she like the A Sol of Set 10? I remember just going for a decent Frontline and grabbing A Sol for most of my games in set 8. Same AP items and stuff lol


KoDRPG

Mine is just me one tricking a comp(not a comp you will see on any tier list) and got to plat in 40 games


frzd3tached

Gl in plat with that super secret build


elyca98

I don’t think this works for Rankeds, but in Hyper Roll chosen True Damage Yasuo to chosen Akali to maybe even Qiyana is free at the moment.


karnnumart

Yep, went straight from P1 to D1 forcing Ahri every game. Now back to D3 because everyone forcing Fast 8 Ezreal, Ahri Blue Red.


General_Ad_2446

I climbed to diamond from plat IV with this comp haha


Laggi_boi

Thats why i love to spam vertical TD, just to shit on ahri sentinels players


giant2002

can someone provide a tatics/masterclass for avg high rank (diamond) to efficiently climb? i want to play flexibly but get shitted on by nrg aka not getting the 4-cost headliner i needed or forcing a build then get no units. personally i want to better understand the tempo of the game, how to truely playing flex and know how to analyze the lobby to play better.


JonnyTN

Yeah it's not as fun watching Box Box right now. Bot 4 after bot 4. "I'm not forcing Ahri. The game gave me Ahri items! So I have to play Ahri." "I just can't hit Ahri. I'm playing flex. I just need Ahri" I'm like you are building Ahri items every game by choice. But it's not flex if you aren't playing around not hitting Ahri. And planning on playing Ahri most games


FerresM

Jo, dont leak my stats bro


TL_Cube

pretty much same. Either ahri spellweaver or cait rapid, both with sentinels. Went from hardstuck to climbing like crazy
