So i am kinda new to LoL and i've ran into the champ and i like her play style. The prob is that i'm still not the best Ahri at all, i faced and malz in lane and i went 3/14, it wasn't fun AT ALL. So i would think that i don't know how to play her, any tips would be awesome so plz let me know :D

I'd take a look here.

A very useful site for learning how to build different champions.

I usually max Q, E, W, and R when you need to. Her general combo is E + Q * The more ranks in E increases the charm duration She has different combos when she gets her ult. Such as: R + E + Q + W E + Q + R + W/Ignite R for gap close + Q for kill + R's to escape Her ult can go over any wall flash can (I'm pretty sure) Q gives movement speed when that decays over time, so you can Q but right click left and potentially side step harass.

Personal pref: Get movement speed. Ahri's 335 ms makes me feel clunky when she gives off the vibe of a high mobile champion. I usually go for aether wisp to build into Ludens Echo and boots to Sorcs (Sorcerers Shoes). With these two items you can achieve 418 ms with 3 points into Fleet of Foot in the Masteries Utility tree.

Playing her in bot games also helps and is not shameful.

Her general combo is E + Q because E makes the target take more damage from Ahri.

They removed that 9 months ago. And she has 330 movespeed. Its 335 if you get the Fleet of Foot mastery.

Ahri is a generalist midlaner who can play into most any lane and a pick based champion who spikes midgame. She excels in skirmishes and is an alright APC for her team late game. Her laning is about Q harass and avoiding all ins, while gaining kill pressure after level 6. Her midgame is about vision control, roaming, and making picks and ganks with charm and mobility. Her late game is DPSing with her spell combos while using mobility to defend herself.

Ahri pretty much always builds item 1056 item 3020 item 3165 , as well as 4 of these items : item 3285 item 3001 item 3157 item 3089 item 3135 item 3116 . Most commonly, she will get first against dangerous AP opponents (like the malz you faced), item 3191 against dangerous AD, and if she's winning and can snowball. can be put off for 2nd item so long as you have 2x item 1056 , but sometimes she gets it first anyway.

Most important thing to learn about Ahri is when its safe to close the distance with an opponent and go for a kill. Done improperly, you will waste your ult at best and die at worst. Done well, she becomes a dangerous opponent whose hard to hit back, as she can control when she engages. Her worst enemies are targetted burst and CC, against which she can only rely on building item 3001 and item 3157 .

So would a Ahri build kinda look like: item 3165 , item 3089 , item 3157 , item 3001 , item 3285 and item 3020 ? Or do you replace with item 3135 when you mid laner is not an AP champ?

Yeah, that'd be a build against a team with an AP mid and no tanks. Void staff is pretty essential if they have a tank though, I'd be more likely to get it over Luden's.

You have the buy the defense you need to live, theres no damage from a dead Ahri. She doesn't have the range to avoid everything, mobility doesn't stop point and click. And so that depends on whatever is threatening you, which changes every game. Luden's MS buff is also a valuable defense against kiteable opponents.
