Anyone else think Ahri is a problem?

In general players tend to ignore Ahri, I guess most people don't feel that threatened by her? I'm usually the only person I see ban her. My reasons for this are because she is picked more than 20% of the time and consistently has about 50% win rate (right now she sits at about 53% I think). My main problem with her is that she is TOO consistent. All she has to do to win lane is sit safely far back and poke and farm, never needing to put herself in harms way until she decides she wants to, usually not until their jungler is near. The rest of the time they just hold onto their ult and use it as a get out of jail free card so you can't ever kill them without a gloriously executed gank. So she has plenty of mobility, poke, and waveclear, and even some good ranged CC, what doesn't she have that players can take advantage of when laning against her? I know she can be mana hungry which can help against Ahris who like to spam spells, but what about a smart Ahri who holds on to her spells and is also great at landing skillshots? There's got to be something I can do besides dance around at turret trying to farm, but a lot of the time against her I can't find an opening for counterplay.

Then force their spells out of them with harass or pushing the wave on them. If they play super passive, them push the lane and go gank to get yourself fed. It'll usually cause their laners to tilt at their mid lane which cause the mid lane not to care about the game as much.

Sometimes you need to make that psychology play to it to cause them to mess up to send them back into elo hell. Once you see the tilted person you've been ganking wanting to report their mid later, you can consider the game won as long you don't mess it up.

The main key is don't play passive on passive if they going to beat you in the passive game. Make the play in another lane to get the first tower instead. Ahri won't be able to take your tower down fast without any help, so there no reason to rush and make a mistake.
