Facing Ahri is always a free win for me.
Everytime I play against Ahri she always feed and lose lane and eventually because of her, her whole team loses the game. I usually have difficulty facing other champ, but Ahri is just super easy to play against I just feel like she is soo weak. Since the time I played this game the only time I found her strong was when Ahri could dfg w r r r (season 3). Other than that she was always the weak and the most outplayable champ I have ever faced.
The thing about Ahri that many overlook is her extremely punishing laning phase. Just let your laner get first blood on her and it is basically a done lane for Ahri. Her laning phase is one of weakest from apc, and it is very easily abuseable. She is basically free kill after everytime she respawn once you get first blood on her. Her early is weak, her mid is below average, and her late is weak. When is she ever good?
I probably just know her complete weakness and abuse it everytime I play against her. I just want everyone else to abuse her weakness so that people will realize how much of a weak champ Ahri is. I can play almost any midlaner and shut Ahri down(because ahri don't counter anyone). This one time this Ahri Diamond player argued with me that she is strong. So I 1v1 her (i was silver that time) and got first blood against her. I feel like people are completely not understanding how to play against Ahri. If you are the jungler you got to camp the enemy ahri lane. This will effectively make the game 5v4. Only way for her to do anything is to get fed after she reach 6. Only then would she have some power. But then she is also outscaled anyway. She is outscaled by most apc mid and late game while having a very weak(but i guess safe) laning phase.
Some may say Ahri is not meta, but will she ever return? After her w nerf in which it was basically her meta she suddenly became a lot worse pick. So if she is bad even in her meta when will she ever be good? Imo she is one of the most outplayable champ in the entire game and one of most punishable midlaner.
I really hate it when people call this Ahri state as "finally balanced." How is she balanced when she is so weak to lane against? How is she balanced if she is probably one of most punishable midlaner in game? Does that make every single other midlaner a broken champ? I have no idea. The only other midlaner I found to be as easy as ahri is Lux... but even Lux is not as punishing as Ahri who has to come close to burst. Because of Lux's range she will always be able to dish out even her weak dps.
I will probably get downvoted for this, but I am pretty serious about Ahri being a free win for me almost every time(unless im not a jungler or a midlaner then she still has chance). It is just super annoying to me to see Ahri just become so useless everytime and yet everyone else(not really everyone but still a good amount) will say she is either strong/balanced when in reality she is just a very very weak champ. Why would I ever pick Ahri over any champ? Ahri is already weak and below average in every single phase of the game. She is never "always good" but actually "always bad". Imo.
