Help!

Can we either:

A) Get out of Ahri op mentality or B) Buff another mid laner so that ahri is not viewed as must ban?

I rarely ever get to use my main. Something happened a few weeks ago (months? busy life, lost track of time) and no one is explaining why she is must ban material =/. Really depressing when your go to pick (fave/main/best) is constantly on the ban list of the opponents side, or on really trollsy team captains who think I'm following a hype I haven't been able to find. =(

tl;dr- stop banning ahri plz, just got a game as her in forever. have to plead my team for mid, then have to hope no one clicks Ahri's face before I do. =(
