Talk:Ahri/@comment-25223119-20151129041519

I can conclude that after playing two games with Ahri, the Ferocity tree fits her better than Cunning. I've been tampering a few things here and there and found that Thunderlord's Decree generally doesn't provide much offensive power to Ahri than Deathfire Touch. There are a few reasons to that..

1. Deathfire Touch outperforms Thunderlord after you start getting 250-300 AP

2. Ahri is more sustained dps than burst

3. An additional 5% cooldown is negligible on Ahri since her Q,W have short enough cooldowns to forego that few microseconds.

4. With lanes becoming safer and the 30 second cooldown on Decree, you won't be able to output that much damage compared to Deathfire. It also means that if you do proc off Decree, you have no choice to but to all-in but or forego 30 seconds worth of kill potential if you fail.

5. Luden's can replace the lack of burst from Decree.

It's only two games I know, but I find my game with Ferocity masteries to be smoother and more fluid compared to Cunning. You can compare 18/12/0 to the old 21/0/9 and 12/18/0 to the old 17/0/13 or something. I also find that many players run MS quints on Ahri now at the expense of weaker early game power. The good thing is that it makes Ahri much safer but lacking the damage for her to snowball with ease. So its pretty much farm as much until you get Morello and Cap and start becoming stronger.

I like 18/12/0 since Ahri will start off weak early, good mid and strong late. Perhaps masteries this season are strictly personal preferences, but I can see most running 18/12, even though the current games are skewed towards snowballing and finishing early.
