Need help laining against Ahri

I don't know why, but I always struggle against Ahri. It's not so much dodging her q, but it's that damn charm. Yes, it's a first hit so you can just hide behind minions. However, once she gets her ult, she just dashes around to the side, charms, and bursts me down before I can even cast a spell to react. Does anyone have any advice how laning against her? Perhaps a good pro match with an Ahri in it so I can watch how the pro's play against her. This is my first post simply because she irritates me to no end. Plus, I seem to get her in every other match min.

Against Ahri you either pick a safe farmer (Ziggs, Orianna, etc) and farm your way into late game when you outscale her, or someone that can just kill her without allowing her to dash all over the place (Annie, Veigar and Fizz come to mind). Usually Ahri can't 100-0 you in one single combo when she gets to level 6, so if you are near 50% hp and you're both near level 6 you should either go to base or bait her while your jungler sits in the brush. Try to not get poked during the lane phase and ward both sides of the river to stop her from roaming. If you see her roaming, warn your team mates: if you are confident they can stay safe without Ahri getting anything out of it, pushing the lane will set her back; if they are playing agressive and you feel like Ahri might get a kill or two out of it try to follow her and countergank.

Who do you usually lane against her as? This knowledge is needed to offer sound advice.

If you problem is just dodging her E then I suggest playing Fizz, LeBlanc or Talon.

When I play mid ranked, I like to play some of the more traditional mage champs like Xerath and Malz which means I'm a slow target that has very little escape potential. I don't have Fizz or LB yet, but they are in my horizon.
