Possible way to fix Ahri
Ahri's state only seems to be getting worse and seeing that she's supposedly getting buffs soon, i thought i'd put an idea out there that could create a concrete foundation on how to balance Ahri and how to make her more than just a walking Ultimate.
Right now all that she has is safety. She's really safe due to having 3 flashes as an Ultimate and that's about it. Her damage is spread around in her kit where she needs to hit every ability on you, two of which are skill shots, in order to hope to do lethal damage if her Ignite is up. She's pretty much a jack of all trades and master of none. She can sorta do what other mid laners can do but why pick Ahri when X champion can get the job done better.
And the way to play against Ahri is fairly simple. You bait out her R and then she becomes a more aware mage minion that can't do anything for the next minute or more. So with this in mind i propose her R gets the functionality that Akali's current R has. She'd get 3 charges that could be used whenever and would go on CD as soon as she uses one. With this i believe that we can solve the issue of Ahri not being able to contribute enough nor be consistent enough throughout the game and make her more than just a walking Ultimate.
And yes, this does seem pretty abusable with Ahri being too safe, she'd be able to avoid any sort of danger and still be relevant in fights. ##How do we balance this?## Remove all movement speed from her kit and give her a longer Ultimate cooldown where the total cooldown of 3 charges of her dashes would be higher than her current cooldown that she has (for example if her current Ultimate CD is 50 seconds, each charge of her dash would have a 20s CD which would be 60s in total). This way if she does need to use a charge or two to get away, she'd still be able to contribute even a little bit by having one charge of her dash available to help out in fights.
I think that this method also creates easier ways to balance her as well since then we can effectively buff and nerf other parts of her kit without her being too weak or strong. In her current state she's either gonna continue being useless or she's gonna get 10 buffs and then she's gonna be broken asf since her numbers would be bonkers.
##TL;DR##
Giver her Ultimate the same functionality that Akali's current Ultimate has. She'd get 3 charges that she'd be able to use separately at a time and would go on cooldown as soon as she'd use one. In exchange, remove all movement speed from her kit and give her Ultimate a higher cooldown (meaning that if her current Ultimate CD is 50s, each dash would have a 20s CD which would sum up to 60s). This way she becomes more than just a walking Ultimate and gives more room for buffs and nerfs to the champion.
