Riot wants Ahri not to be played

The recent pbe updates are just destroying her. Aside from Deathfire grasps removal drastically reducing her kill potential, now Riot wants to remove the % dmg amplification on her e??

I'm not sure if they understand that Ahri IS AN ASSASSIN and playing her as a Mage like they want her to be played is just plain stupid, she does not have enough aoe dmg to be considered effective and now she won't even be an assassin anymore. A slight flat damage buff on her w and e ( seriously a flat damage buff on charm?What kind of weed are you guys smoking at riot?) do NOT make up for the removal of % dmg on her charm. I don't understand how you think Ahri is going to be effective at all when she now does ridiculously low single target damage. Oh but hey she can now run fast for a second when she throws out her q! Wow that's incredibly useful, I will make sure I keep that in mind when I can't even dps down their carry before he lifesteals all my dmg back. I was already considering quitting Ahri altogether once I learned about the DFG removal, but if these changes go live it's goodbye Ahri. Shame since I really wanted that new skin of hers but I will not support a company that snorts meth before "balancing" the game.

Edit; Didn't realize the average league player was so stupid so I'll explain here since I'm tired of trying to explain simple logic to likely highschool dropouts. Riot gave Ahri an e amp to make up for the heavy nerfs they did on her W and her R. If Riot is going to remove her E's 20% dmg amp then bring back the W and R damage that made her the strong pick she was before her push into the assassin meta.

Ahri playstyle:

Hit charm Slam your fist on the keyboard Get kill (or not)

How deep and interesting.

If Riot wanted Ahri to not be played, they didn't really have to do anything. Removing DFG is a pretty big deal for her, and she isn't exactly tearing up the meta with it.

SMH people who say this are dumb. She's still listed as a mage first an a assassin second. In Season 3 you could 100 to 0 people without landing a single charm, now you need to land a charm to kill people but when you do it's an instant kill. They need to find a happy medium.

Again you really should THINK before commenting on anything, it also seems you have a reading disability so I will say it once more in caps so you might understand. THEY NERFED HER AOE MAGE DMG LONG TIME AGO K?? THEY GAVE HER E AMP IN THE FIRST PLACE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE W AND R NERFS. Honestly try to use what little brain power you have; why in the world would riot give her e a 20% dmg amp if she was pick/ban since season 2/3? Answer; if you don't understand by now, order "hooked on phonics" and go back to school. And as for my rank, this is clearly a mule. My ign is worth more than your car probably.
