Go build a deathcap on ryze and see how far you get lol his design forces him to build tanky isn't their fault they'd have to completely rework him so stop trying to compare honestly.

Bread goes in, toast comes out

/you cant explain that logic

it has a tiny wisp inside that looks like the regular orb pretty much. idc wat they do with the orb but the "changes" they made to the orb are so small

lol seriously, so all the get to see it a tiny moving orb, but Brand is okay? LOL

That's baker logic, I aint no Pantheon.

When Ahri has 9 charges of Essence Theft, she gains Spell Vamp on her next ability. Her orb changes to green to indicate when this is active. Changing the orb away from blue would also require changing this color, which could cause issues on the passive color for readability. So long as the skin itself is of high quality, I do not see why the orb HAS to change as well.

Completely agree.

If they say the passive becomes less visible then all Riot has to look at is Frost Fire Annie and her passive. Normally white changed to Black. Wasn't that to hard Riot? Change the Blue > Green into something like Orange/Red > Purple. Easy as that.

Also two or three patches ago ryze was touched for the same reson: decreasing his mana ratios and uping his ap ratios. It didn't work out as well, but they had already done it with him.

Seriously people have no memories.

And in response to the thread: The orb won't change because of her passive and being readable. If they changed it's color they would have to shift to a color besides green as red/green color blind is the most common type IIRC. it's just easier to avoid the confusion.

i don't like the nerf either but ryze doesn't have the mobility of ahri

Heya folks!

The reason we kept the blue-green is because, frankly, it looked pretty derpy going from red to green or orange to green. Additionally, Ahri's new look already has a ton of yellow fire on it, and the orb became hard to see against her most of the time. it's her defining characteristic, and not something we wanted becoming invisible against her fiery tails.

Those wondering why we are attached to the green hue -- it's because it intuitively connotates healing, spellvamp in this case. Ahri's new skin was a tough point of discussion -- we became faced with situations where we'd be changing things for the sake of change, while weakening the skin aesthetically and in terms of readability.
