Ahri Mechanics
A few thoughts sprouted while watching Bjergson play Ahri earlier:
- Is AD Ahri viable in mid lane or as a carry?
- Would running Ahri with a great deal of spellvamp work at all?

Running AD is strange on mages. They usually come with crowd control, which lets them do free basic attacks, but they do not have any scaling on their abilities, leaving their basic attacks to be a majority of their damage. Furthermore, most AD champions have basic attack steroids in the form of attack speed or something.
Spellvamp is currently in a confusing spot. It works exceptionally well on minions, but when the enemy has magic resist, suddenly spellvamp feels useless, especially with ignite running rampant in the mid lane. Perhaps after the WotA changes, this will be more viable, but until then, spellvamp makes it easier to counter Ahri.
I hope that helps!
