I did a little thought on why some people feel Ahri does little damage, and I think I came up with why that is. First I compared the total damage she did to with that of other mages and found overall, her numbers are pretty above average. Like in terms of number alone, she actually out damages Annie, Lux, and even Veigar if you take out him using the targets AP. But what is the difference between all of them and Ahri? Time.

When it comes to burst, you want to throw out all your damage in as little time as possible. With Ahri's kit, that doesn't happen. You need to wait for Orb to return, you need to wait for foxfire to start up, and you need to wait to use all 3 charges of Spirit Rush. The champions I mentioned could delete someone in the time it takes Orb to return to Ahri. That gives people time to react to her.

That's why I think people feel she doesn't do damage. Her damage is there. It just takes time for you to dish it out and for someone who is still viewed as an assassin by some, time really isn't something you want to waste.
