Ahri is fun, but definitely not overpowered. Some people on here like to complain about needing nerfs but um... She's actually in a pretty good spot. She has clear defined issues; even in her late-game being that yes if she hits all her skills (primarily skillshot based), she can annihilate a squishy target. Her damage output at 725AP is about 740 for her Q, 650 for her W, 565 ish for her E and 1100 for her ult after all three hits which is not quaranteed ends up at about 3k provided I added that up right. Yes it's a pretty nice chunk of damage, but is limited by: Being super squishy, low ratios which don't really hit higher numbers until she has 3/4 damage items, her mana costs are high especially early game, she lacks mobility pre-6, relies entirely on her Q to deal any signifigant damage and if it is side stepped, or blocked she likely will not be able to net a kill if her ult is on CD.

Her laning is relatively safe but lacks major kill potential until she is 6+ and can be outmanuevered by a number of assassins and bursted down pre 6 (Katarina, Zed, Yasuo, Leblanc, Fizz) all come to mind. Even some mages can be a handful for her (Ryze, Syndra, even Orianna can give her trouble with the added bonus that Ryze locks her down post 6.

Her passive is quite frankly neglible until she has at least 400-500 AP and the heal increases with her level.

The flip side is that should  she get to late game she has mobility on a 40 second cooldown, with 30+% CDR, very high single target burst damage, infinite sustain with her passive, ROA and Morellonomicon upon netting a kill. With the added bonus of clearing through minion waves like crazy. Even should she not get a kill she is a nuisance with her multi-hit attacks and her stun and mobility in fights so at the very least she will be a thorn in your side. You cannot really ever catch her if the player is good as she will simply dash out of the way and come back with a repositioned E and finish you off.

This was long, I know but I just think she is in a really good spot right now and were she to be buffed she would get nerfed shortly there-after in return potentially even worse than the buff.
