Why does Ahri need compensation buffs? Just straight nerf her!

Ahri has been 53% winrate since I started playing in Season 4. She has a fair kit, but has been overtuned for far, far too long. Last time she got compensation buffs (for DFG removal), she instantly hit 58 % winrate. Just nerf something so she has a 48 % winrate, just for a few months. Right now, she is ALWAYS the answer when i firstpick a mage (and ban Kass/Yasuo) - like lock in / /, and you can be sure the opponent will lock in Ahri. Shes also very safe as firstpick, as you can really be hardcountered, and has one of the best champs in the game.

How can Rito sell all the Ahri skins to all the Ahri mains if they nerf her?

Did you know Yasuo nerf was immediately reverted since demonblade yasuo teaser was released?

You know how there are some Champions that are balanced at winrates below 50% like Leblanc and Ryze? Ahri is one of the Champions that is balanced above 50% winrate, and that's why she hasn't received any significant changes. Riot's fine with her staying at a stable 53% winrate because that is just about the winrate that she should be balanced at.

If you just straight nerf Ahri, she's almost guaranteed to be replaced by someone worse than her.

Been playing Ahri lately and she feels op. So forgiving for mistakes and you can easliy get fed and carry games. Only match up I dont always win is high moblity like yas leblanc or kat. After a few games its very easy to use her to win games.
