I think Ahri fits as an Assassin more than a Mage

Mages supposed to have high AoE damage and usually paired with some CCs, that's the main reason mages are picked, for their AoE presence in team fight. I mean, look at Brand, Lux, Vel'Koz and Swain, they offer AoE damage AND CC. Now take a look at Ahri. Lore wise, a gumiho pretty much screams an assassin, they lure a target, kill them unnoticed, run away. Kit wise, she only has 1 AoE spell (Q), W and R is used a lot more for single target burst, otherwise their damage are lackluster. Charm is a single target CC which requires hard positioning. I mean, look at her kit, it brings much less as a mage compared to other mages. Damage?Mediocre. CC?Only single target Charm. AoE? Low. Single Target?High. With her being shifted to mage, she's completely outclassed by other champions on BOTH roles.

She's really her own niche, a high-mobility mage.
