Not long ago, Riot Games released a power reduction targeting LeBlanc with an attack damage build. By reducing the effectiveness of wave clear from Statikk Shiv, along with the basic attack interaction with Infinity Edge, LeBlanc's split-pushing strategy with the mentioned items is no longer effective. This move by Riot Games aims to bring LeBlanc back to the traditional ability power build, especially with Worlds 2023 approaching.

However, the celebration was short-lived as Riot had to face another headache when players ingeniously devised an annoying Ahri AD playstyle comparable to LeBlanc. Specifically, BobquinXD - a renowned LeBlanc player in North America - posted a video proving that with Statikk Shiv and Infinity Edge, Ahri can fully adopt LeBlanc's old playstyle, thanks to the flexibility of her ultimate. Having a relatively high base attack damage stat allows Ahri to synergize well with Infinity Edge, maximizing the annoyance of the split-pushing strategy.
Immediately, many 'bloodthirsty' names in Riot's game balance team, such as RiotPhloxzon and RiotPhreak, expressed their 'anger' towards BobquinXD. These new item builds lead a champion's playstyle astray from Riot's intended trajectory. Naturally, the balance team will have to make adjustments to Ahri to prevent this playstyle from lingering longer in the upcoming time. However, with Worlds on the horizon, there's a possibility we'll witness Ahri AD making an appearance in the upcoming tournament.
