So why can't we 100-0 with ahri anymore?

Ahri has good mobility, safe laning, and good roaming. But even with three ap items, R-E-W-Q does not even kill a carry with no magic resist whatsoever. Why is her late game so terrible?

They thought that an assassin having unconditional hard CC was bad.

Because then she does a good job of engaging while also having the mobility and build paths to realistically position on the front line.

She has good poke, cc, mobility, a significant amount of true dmg, and sustain. Shes also great body guard for an ap mid. Why shouldn't she need to survive until her second round of spells comes up? Whats wrong with asking her to wait until her target has less than full hp?

Engage, nuke, kite, sustain, cc. These are the five elements of league, imo. Ahri has all of them in some degree if she gets fed, which is fine. Whats not ok is if she has all 5 when she is on par.

Ekko and Jax are currently the closest to having all five, imo. Jax actually does have all five. There I said it (like I always do). He is overpowered. Ekko doesn't really have the potential to 100-0 unless he gets his ulti off, or if he is really fed. Which is fine I guess. Although it is hard to call his ulti a form of sustain, it does conceivably overlap in that it helps him come back from taking dmg or mispositioning.

You sure you're building the right items? I've been picking off ADCs all week

As a ahri main(ish) she is fine.

Cuz u are bad and miss your spells?

She's not an assassin anymore she's a "kite mage" apparently

I haven't had that problem tho, the last time I played ahri she seemed fine, she's got a lot of strength with no clear weakness tho, so it's probably best she can't kill a carry as fast as other assassins

In her current state, she shouldn't be able to and doesn't need to.

Are we asking the weeaboo fox to have a 20% pick rate with a 54% win rate again?

I can destroy ADC's with ease, just land charm, Q and W, save spirit rush till the end, at least 2 charges so you can dash after or use the extra damage. Should take around 2 seconds to do.

i think at 3 ap items she should easily be able to one shot. the problem with her for me, is her high mana costs and low damage in the early game

She maybe can't 100-0 but she is too much more help to team with her utility than talon or leblanc or any of those assasins.Her Q buff and damage also, dash ult and charm can save teammate from certain death when for example your adc is being attacked by their jungle rengar and you can come fast and save him if you have luck.She can also use mobility to troll a darius in their team if he is stupid enough to follow her and he gets killed.She synergizes very well in teamwork especially with amumu jungle and is still useful if way behind unlike katarina for example.I love her and think that she is one of best midlaners still today.I don't like assasins which main concern is to get fed and have most of kills like katarina and have almost no utility to help others.
