Ahri Problems and ways to fix them

I've been an Ahri player since season 3 and i've noticed that ahri is getting weaker and weaker every season. Ahri's whole problem started with the movespeed on her q, that one buff took away her counterplay and used up some of her power budget, the latest change to ahri was a nerf to both her ult and W, they say that they were to reliable. lets be honest. her w has terrible damage and terrible scaling, and does less the more they get hit by it, and lets not forget that the range was nerfed back in season 5, heck not all the fox fires hit enemies the one that spawns behided ahri always hits a minion even if i use sprit rush to get in all the fox fire will not hit.

to fix her W buff the damage if the target is charmed, and make the boxes center on ahri, not their own boxes

Ahri has to land all her abilties to kill. makes sense right? but the mana cost to all in is way to high. 100ult,85charm,70q,50w. 305 mana to all in, and you wont have full mana becasue ahri has to poke to make sure her all in kills, her mana costs are too high and the reward for poke is not worth it

a way to fix this is to decrease mana costs or make her poke do more damage so she doesnt have to use her q more in lane.

personality i just dont see ahri as rewarding as a champ as she use to be. syndra lands a stun, you are dead, lux lands a snare you die, fizz land ult you die, annie land stun you die, ahri lands charm 50-75% hp lost. that is not good enough for the high mana costs espesicaliy since charm doesn't go as far as abilities stated above. i just want her to be better for players who put in the time to wait for the perfect moment

if anyone has ideas on what can be done to ahri leave comments, i want to start a discussion about her state in the game

Her mana costs aren't the problem, her overall lack of damage is. However her damage can't be buffed because she's too safe - largely due to q movespeed-.

Well I'm Ahri Lux OTP those 2 specific mages share the same problem , high mana costs and no enough damage , No actually Lux doesn't kill when she lands her Q , she needs to perma poke her enemy untill they reach low hp to kill ,that's the same thing thing for Ahri and bullies like Zed Fizz Katarina will always make me take summoner 21 so ,even if I land all my skillshots , it's hard to kill them without ignite , and it's impossible to land all skillshots you know her Q movement speed isn't a big deal to be honest , also yeah it feels empty to play her , doing the same thing all over again and again , her damage isn't high , and her w always hits minions if you try to go all-in in a lane , the only reason why she is standing at 50% because her players never feed , she can use her ult every time she needs to run , but , everyone complains about her ult hyper mobility and I don't know why , many other mobility abilities are way more annoying like Fizz , he has 2 dashes and 1 of his dashes makes him completely un killable after her nerf in season 7 , they made her more reliant on her E to hit , which is really hard to hit even if you have ult , so I think the best way to fix Ahri right now is to have her E hit champions only , I swear I'm done of playing against Malzahar who can block my E with his voidlings , same for Elise Spiders and Heim turrents , her w should focus champions too , like , it does low damage on minions anyway , like a mage basic attack in early

Ahri's issue here is not the mana cost, her issue is her kit. She just has everything in a kit you might expect a few champions to have, eg: Good cc, good poke, good waveclear, good mobility and all in potential. However, the problem that results in Ahri not getting any buffs/tweaks is her MS on Orb of Deception AKA mobility.

We all know that Ahri's abilities do no damage, even compared to champions like Viktor whose buffs will come live in just a few days.

We Ahri mains also discussed on Reddit that they should remove her MS on Orb of Deception, and add more AP ratio's to each individual Fox Fire, but then the less damage on target per Fox fire would still apply Another thought was that they could make each individual Fox Fire do more damage instead of less (but that would be a mediocre buff) and the last thought was that they should remove the MS on Orb of deception, and add the Charm Amplification damage back.

I personally think that Riot should completely Rework Ahri's W in something more useful, (no matter how they are going to change the ability) And give her the removed AP ratio's on Spirit Rush back.
