I doubt you'll see my response in your blog since your blog became so popular that my reply got roflstomped.

So here's a tips:

-I start off with a Doran's Ring/5 pots + Armor (against AD Caster mid)/3 pots + Boots (skillshot mid like cass) but in almost all cases, Doran's Ring is the best way to start. It replenishes the mana you use when you harass. I experimented with starting 1 pot + Amplifying Tome but it doesn't let me trade early on so I ditched it.

-RoA provides extra health, mana and AP plus an amazing passive. Building catalyst before level 7 is very cost efficient since you can out trade your opponent and survive practically any 2 CC ganks.

-RoA are suited for Assassins. Guess what, Ahri is an Assassin. It gives more durability to fearlessly dive in teamfights to target the squishies.

-Building RoA early game synergizes with Rylai's. Sticking to a target while having truckload of HP and insane low cooldown spells infused with slow. You can achieve 3k health with just these 2 items excluding runes and masteries.

-After finishing Rylai, I usually buy Haunting Guise then upgrade my boots to tier 2. It just cycles from Sorcerer's/Tabi (If they have a top lane AD Assassin) or Mercury (CC heavy enemy comp). Finish building Liandry and you have a nice burst.

-Then I read you upgrade your boots to Furor. WHAT A NICE MIND YOU GOT THERE BUDDY. I also use Furor after finishing 3 core items. Why? You have slow, 3 dashes and a gamebreaking CC. So why not add in extra movement speed?

-Now to the Luxury items. Usually, matches end while you're just halfway through in one of these items but hey, you never know if you're going in for a 70-minute match. So here's a few reasons why you should get these:

1. Abyssal Scepter - Somewhere between the game, you'll be focused by different kinds of people. The HP already helps you to survive close encounters and the extra MR for escaping those pesky mages (hello Veigar, I'm talking to you). Plus the passive is quite good with Ahri because the aura's radius is almost the same as the range of your skills.

2. Void Staff - Of course, let's not forget the good ol' magic penetration. It will give you higher bursts since it will amplify your skill damage and it WILL amplify Liandry's passive.

3. Rabadon's Deathcap - Who would miss this? I think it's self explanatory so let's skip these.

4. Zhonya's Hourglass - More AP, some Armor and a Good Active. Lifesaver.

5. Deathfire's Grasp - Best Active for an Assassin like Ahri. Also amplifies magic damage. Get this if you're the kind of not forgetting that you have active items during teamfights.

6. Athene's Unholy Grail - Which builds from Kage's that you must build after getting a Catalyst. Amazing passive plus magic resist.

7. Guardian Angel - Really tend to get focused to dust? No problemo, Good Lord will help you.

So my "usual build" goes like this: Sorcerer's Boots with Furor Enchantment, Rod of Ages, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment, Abyssal Scepter and Rabadon's Deathcap. I also noticed you were building Liandry on late game but it's in mid game where it really shines because in that time, players tend to pick AP/AD over armor/hp/mr.

Remember to play Ahri as a sustained damage APC not burst mage. She's not like Veigar who wishes to end the world by using 4 skills.

Kudos to your blogs. I'm very intrigued with your blogs. Especially the random skills one. Keep up the good work dude.
