As an Ahri main I'm happy for them to take the Q movement speed boost away

Just return her W/R range, her E damage amp and Q mana costs.

Like pre patch 5.2 she had a reasonable winrate 49-53% and a decent pickrate 10%~

Yes she had a fuckton of damage but her mobility was gated to her ultimate so she was very unforgiving if you missed your Charms or wasted ultimate.

Like isn't that the definition balanced assassin? Moments where they are weak (ultimate cooldown/Charm cooldown) and moments where they are strong? If she misses her shit even an AD can duel her easily.

DFG isn't here now so even giving her damage back won't suddenly turn her into the next LB. The mobility seems to be what irks people.

ahri is meant to be a mage, not an assassin.

Mage primary, Assassin secondary.

This. I'm also an Ahri main and I liked the old Ahri more.

I'm also an Ahri main and honestly I much prefer the new one. I like to kite around with high mobility and low cds. The new Ahri also teamfights much better, while being worse at assassinating. The old Ahri's gameplay was extremely binary, either you hit charm and delete someone or you miss charm and you're useless. And if people complain about her being a "safe" pick, she's a mage, look at other mages like Lux, Xerath, they have so much range it's impossible to die.

THey also have higher mana costs, 0 mobility, and are easily punished if they miss their shit

They don't have higher mana costs than Ahri lol. Like, not even close. Ahri does EWQ at level 3 and she's out of mana. Lux gets free damage from her autos. Xerath literally has a passive that gives him mana. Also realistically you can't be punished if you're sitting at 1500 range from the fight.
