Riot What Do You Want Ahri to Do?

Alright, so I've calmed down a bit since the announcement following DFG's removal is that assassin Ahri will die with it based on the proposed changes. So my question to Riot is what are you trying to do with her and why?

Anyone can see Ahri will be heavily impacted by DFG's removal, and deserves some compensation for losing such an arguably mandatory item on her. Those compensation "buffs" on the PBE are going to turn her into a kite mage...very VERY far away from the assassin playstyle that is typically played. She's not even a problem! In fact she's one of the healthiest assassins in the game! If you want to call Zed a healthy assassin;

1. You're as blind as Lee Sin SHOULD be.
2. You need to get past your need to protect #LCSBIGPLAYS champs. Do NOT deny this part. It's disgusting when you do. and 3. Based on the recent balance changes, I question if some of you even play the game.

Number 3 really came to mind when I saw the Ahri changes. No one in their right minds plays her as a mage because it's not optimal (in addition to being dreadfully boring.) You're sacrificing a lot of power that you'd get from hitting charm and combo'ing with DFG. Now that DFG is gone, why on Earth are you removing the Charm damage amp as well? Giving her a movespeed buff on her Q and having W do slightly more damage doesn't change the fact that she can no longer assassinate people. I'm not going to count the extra damage on Charm because let's be honest, it's a slap in the face to Ahri players.

Assassin Ahri wasn't a problem, she was fun to play, and had clear weaknesses while remaining strong in the right hands. Less can be said about other select champions that still don't have meaningful nerfs. Riot, why do you hate the assassin Ahri playstyle even though it was healthy? Why do you want her to throw spells and run away like a frightened kitten? Do you not see how many people are against these changes?

We've had ZERO interaction or explanation on your choices here, and the long silence between the announcement and the ever-approaching 5.2 patch date is not very reassuring that we can have some kind of discussion about her. Talk to us. Let us provide some feedback to you directly so we can communicate what we want to keep and change from the update.
