Ahri's Foxfire ability

IMO Ahri's Foxfire should give her a 3 or 4 second speed boost of maybe 30%. I say this so she has some option for mobility when her ult is down or it isn't the right time to use it.

4 reasons why this is a great idea:

First is it'd help her fantasy as a mobile/elusive champion out.

Second is she has a pretty cool cast animation for this when she's running.

It'd give more value to the skill so you can start with it instead of a charm (reposition to set up the charm) and give Ahri users more options.

I don't know about everyone else, but her Foxfire seems to be a weaker spell nowadays since it can't clear like Orb or multiply her damage like charm. I know it can do good damage and has its uses in you don't have to target it, but it doesn't seem great on its own. This would make it something you'd want to level up instead of being "well I maxed Orb and frankly E doesn't scale well so I'm forced to level W." This would give it its own purpose.

I think that Ahri already has quite a bit of mobility in her kit, to be honest. Having three consecutive dashes available to you, which can get you out of almost any situation, is extremely powerful in and of itself. If you truly wish to increase your movement after attacking, why not buy item 3257?

Please yes. This would make me wanna use her much more often. Right now she's as mobile as Lux pre-6, and if she gets ganked and has to blow her ult, she's just another immobile mage with decent damage that has a ton of counterplay. Maybe a bit too much... I mean honestly, if you're getting hit by Charm when she doesn't have ult/flash up you deserve to die.

I think it's a good idea. However, I'm worried about her mobility being too much when her ult is up. Maybe it could normally be only a small speed buff, which is doubled when her ult is on CD?

lol 3~4 sec speed boost is like infinite speed boost on ahri lol. And this will make kiting ahri better, and does not really change assassin ahri since assassin ahri gets her job done instantly, no chance to use her speed boost effectively. I think this is a nice change to give more different play style for ahri XD
