Ahri is an assasin its unmistakeable really. Her playstyle is that of an assasin. Her main issues right now, are the unnaturally high skillcap for what she does (which frankly isnt necessary to have such a high skillcap), her awkward damage without lich bane, and her strange early game. This is good though, as I wouldnt want her running around and LeBlancing everyone. Her kit is insanely good but since its so good, it has to be kept in check hence the feeling of uselessnes(And the slight over-nerfage shes recieved). I think she is in a good spot right now but Im also glad that most people cant play her, cuz the times iv seen a good Ahri they can single handedly win early game for their team because of her ganks. You gotta know EXACTLY how to lane her pre-6, build her, and fight with her to make her the badass Nine Tailed Fox that she can be.

Overall though, Ahri is just like the other Team-Dependent champions that require a good, intelligent team to utilize their strengths to their maximums. Viktor, Ziggs, Nautilus, Urgot, Warwick, Zilean and AP Ezreal all come to mind when I think "Team-Dependent"
