Playing as Ahri
Tips to maximize your impact
- Charm first, combo second
Land Charm (E) before your combo: it's your only CC, and a target walking toward you takes Orb of Deception (Q) both ways.
- Bring your orb back through the target
Position so Orb of Deception (Q) hits on the way out and on the way back: the return deals true damage.
- Farm to heal
To stay in lane, clear the wave with Orb of Deception (Q): Essence Theft (passive) heals you every 9 minions or monsters killed, and more after a takedown.
- Save a dash to get out
Engage with Spirit Rush (R) but save a dash to get out: you can cast it up to 3 times, and each takedown gives you another.
- Push, then roam
Push your wave with Orb of Deception (Q), then roam: the dashes of Spirit Rush (R) get you there fast and back out just as fast.
Playing against Ezreal
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Mystic Shot (Q) hits the first enemy, and each time it hits you, all his cooldowns go down.
- All-in after his E
Go all-in when he has used Arcane Shift (E) to move forward: it's his only escape, on a 26 to 14 second cooldown.
- Fight head-on
Look for head-on teamfights, behind your frontline: Mystic Shot (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and Essence Flux (W) on the first champion.
- Beware his R at low health
At low health, beware of Trueshot Barrage (R) even far from him: the shot crosses the whole map and hits every unit in its line.
