I don't think I fully understand what you're saying. Ahri still has a ton of damage and the fact that she has to get closer now is good. I main her in mid-Plat (currently Plat 3, sitting at 67% winrate with Ahri with around 40 games played so far) and I don't have any problems with carrying with her. Maybe you're still used to her old playstyle with huge burst, she doesn't really have that anymore unless you're suuuuper fed, usually you'll end up leaving your target at like 20-30% health that you can finish off in another Q and AAs in between, yet she's not really a sustained mage either. She deals small bursts every few seconds and to do that she needs to stay alive and kite.

But I do agree that it sucks that her build is not versatile whatsoever but that's also a problem on almost every champion in the League - you have one all around good build and then other subpar builds. Almost every AP champion build Morello -> Rabadon -> Void and Ahri is no exception, that's why I'm sad about the new item, it looks really good on Ahri but you don't have any room for it until very late in the game, possibly as your last item or second to last item if you don't need Zhonya's.
