Ahri's damage is really lacking compared to other Laners.

feels like she does no damage after the nerf. Even if you land your skill shot, it still feels like you are not providing enough damage. If you look at ap ratios and base damage it turns out to be: Q: 280 + 0.70 ap ratio W: 224 + 0.48 ap ratio (Single Target Damage) E: 200 + 0.6 ap ratio R: 450 + 0.75 ap ratio

In total has: 1154 + 2.53 ap ratio

Compare this to who has similar role to : Passive: 300 + 0.8 ap ratio Q: 195 + 0.5 ap ratio W: 100 + 0.2 ap ratio E: 240 + 1.0 ap ratio R(Ethereal Chains): 400 + 0.8 ap ratio

In total Leblanc has: 1235 + 3.3 ap ratio

The differences of damage between and ends up being:

1235 - 1154 = 81 3.3 - 2.53 = 0.77

So ends up doing 81 damage + 0.77 ap ratio less than . Observing these two differences, it becomes clear that is basically losing about one entire ability worth of damage(Yeah the base damage is not quite there, but the ap ratio is very much there). Then if you go on to compare her ratios with other champs, it shows an even bigger gap. What I want to show here is that ap ratio and base damage is laughable compared to other laners. She does not have the carry power many laners have. who has a stronger early game than and even stronger mobility has even higher burst damage compared to . does have sustain, but also has stealth and a global pressure with the ultimate.

Is it not time to remove the movement speed and work on bringing up again in terms of damage? Because her damage is so lacking, it makes her hard to play as a carry. Having less damage makes her have a lot less outplay potential toward her enemy since even a simple outplay means nothing when you cannot capitalize on it. Of course, riot will not respond and will continue to let the game go, but currently feels so bad to play, if would be hit additionally, she will definitely have no way to work even as a burst mage...
