Heard a lot of these complains too and I full agree with you. People are sing Ahri dashing around, running with high speed and then killing the carries with "no counterplay because of Charm" and forget, that Ahri is one of that champs that's easy to play, but hard to master. Also a lot of people are looking at her kit and say things like "She is fcking overloaded". They got kind of a point there, because Ahri has a lot of thing. She has mobility, she has sustain, she has a unique hard CC, she has build in true damage with a Scaling and even more mobility.

But they forget one thing: everything Ahri does, everything she has in her kit, is a trade off. If you use your Q for running away, you will waste your biggest damage source for it and (dependant on the enemy) won't hit both instances or the spell at all. If you use your Spells (in most cases again her Q) for sustaining, you will lose out poke or the chance for an all in, unless the enemy positioned inside of a wave. If you use your ult for an hard escape, you won't have it for the next all on and thus will miss a lot of damage, mobility and possibly the chance to make the engage. Even her Charm is a tradeoff, because it can only hit one person and is an important tool for her to be safe, so if she uses it, she is pretty voulnerable.

With that said, Ahri mostly won't be able to utilize every of her abilities to the fullest, unless the givesn situation is exceptionally perfect. That's pretty rare. Even outplay have champions like Katarina, LeBlanc or Yasuo can utilize their abilities more efficient, without missing something out. And what stays is a mage with only mediocre range, decent (because mostly ult-bound) mobility, okay-isch waveclear, delayed and again mediocre damage and only a single, dogable, singletargeted hard CC. Because of her mobility she is pretty safe, that's the point about being easy to play, but to become effective with her, you have to learn how to utilize her tools as good as possible and that's not easy at all.
