Ahri rework suggestion/concept

Hi! Ahri main here. I ve been an ahri main for the past 2 years now... oh time flies so quickly. Before that I was in bronze silver.. now i m in plat thanks to my foxy lady. After the last small reworks of Ahris abilities I d say she is in an okay place, but she still cant compare with other champions and she is still a jack of all trades and master of none. Ahri isn't a long range mage like lux or xerath, and she isnt a roamer like talon or Leblanc, and she definitely isnt an assassin as strong as kata or akali. So what is Ahri good for? Well Ahri is a champion that adapts, if there is a chance she can roam and if she catches the enemy botlane unprepared she can definitely do a lot of dmg, if ahri gets ahead in the game and makes some solid ap items relatively early she can assassinate squishy enemies with ease and if needed she can play as a utility champ. So i was thinking why does it feel that ahri is lacking? The most annoying moment with ahri is when u meet an enemy u hit ur charm u do everything perfectly and then the enemy is left with 25% health and u have no more juice, u have no way to finish the enemy and u are left exposed to close combat (since even ur charm worked against u by letting the enemy get closer to u) and I know people will say that her q and w cds are really low but the thing is her w does so little dmg and her q at point black is really easy t dodge (especially the second hit). So my suggestions try to solve that. Her charm and her ultimate are both fine by me so I wouldn't change anything other than the interaction between her E and W.

I think that Ahri should be made the official long range mage dueler of LoL.

So for me what needs to change for ahri is her dueling potential especially in late game when her full burst is usually not enough to kill opponents.

I think her W should synergize more with her E. My opinion is that her W should change to 3 auto attacks charged with foxfire. So ahri presses w and has 3 auto attacks that do extra magic dmg. And i did say that this should synergize with ahris charm. Well the charm anyway brings ur target closer and the weird thing is that has no real merit for ahris game-play(?) a snare or a stun would make more sense if all there is to ahris charm is to make her target easier to hit with her q. And these w powered auto attacks should prolong the duration of the charm. So the charm's main duration can be shortened and balanced with the effect of this synergy

the second major change to Ahris kit would be her passive. Ahri collecting essence with her q from her enemies is also a trademark of ahri. Why riot doesnt go further with it? SInce in her lore Ahri becomes more hungry for essence the more she feeds on it I think that Ahri should be storing essence stacks permanently boosting her passive. For example like that:

Ahris new passive: Level 1 Vastayan Grace 0-99 charges +10% bonus ms when ahri hits an oponent with 2 of her spells for 5 secs Level 2 Vastayan Lust 100-199 charges +10% bonus ms and +20% spellvamp when ahri hits an oponent with 2 of her spells for 7 secs Level 3 Vastayan Greed 200-299 charges +10% bonus cd reduction +10% bonus ms and +20% spellvamp when ahri hits an oponent with 2 of her spells for 10 secs Level 4 Vastayan Bloodfest At 300 charges +15% bonus cd reduction +20% bonus ms + 30% spellvamp when ahri hits an oponent with 2 of her spells for 15 secs

And i would change her q like that: remove the current healing at full charges and replace it with the... Reaper orb: when ahri kills enemy minions with her q's returning (true) dmg she replenishes an amount of mana for every minion killed.

This passive gives a lot of room for tweaking from the kind of bonuses the passive gives to the way the essence is collected (will there be a limit of 3 charges per q or maybe it will count how many enemies the orb passes but count them only once?)

I hope I gave some food for thought
Cheers!!!

That part where you said the second q part os easy to dodge but wouldnt it be used while the enemy is charmed anyways?

And you said the charm brings them closer and you run out of juice but you have 3 ult dashes to make space so you can get cooldowns back.

I'm not an ahri player at all but this id what the ahris have done when I play against them.

They tried that passive infinite stack mechanic. It ended up creating a totally broken champion who couldn't be balanced right (See Cassiopeia).

Also why not just make the w prioritize charmed targets instead of that "empower 3 autos" except if you ofcourse play her as an adc I can see why you would want this change

I don't think this will ever happen as long as she has dashes

So basically scale her harder.
