Not sure if you are asking for a revert to Assassin Ahri (with charm dmg amp) or.. Mage Ahri (classic S2 ratios and build) but..

Blame it all on DFG. Back when S3 Ahri was all about DFG, her ratios and bases were ruthlessly nerfed to the point where Ahri can no longer build Rylai as her first item to kite or kill by S4. Post DFG-removal, Riot still thinks Ahri doesn't deserve ratio buff and this is where items like Morellonomicon becomes so staple on her. Instead of moderate cd and moderately high burst, Ahri now becomes a low cd, moderate burst AP Mid.

Honestly speaking, Ahri is fine as she is now. But there will come a time where she goes FoTM and becomes top pick before Riot will make balance changes again :/. The MS buff is definitely nice, but I get your point about Rylai Ahri. I take it you're a S2 player? I am a S2 player and Rylai Ahri was honestly the best and funnest way to play her. Ahri wasn't the only victim of DFG and it's sad to see how most AP Mids are now restricted because of their nerfed ratios and bases. These days, her kiting comes from her smart use of Q to either bait or escape her enemies. Putting Rylai on her is no longer advisable simply because she needs all the offensive AP items over utility AP items.

This is why I hate Solomid's Top Ahri guide's author, Barph/Varph asshole. That guy popularizes DFG so much that it led to Riot screwing Ahri over. If it wasn't for the guide, we'd all be enjoying S2 Ahri ratios. Half of his guides all had DFG in it before he removed. He wrote a guide on Lissandra recommending DFG too, and Lissandra got nerfed too. He even used to say how Assassin Ahri was the higher skillcap role and put down Mage Ahri players. Fucking bugger, the reason why we have Ahri now in the place that she is pretty much Barph/Varph's fault.

It's sad to see how most of the AP Mids now run Morellonomicons frequently. It is a good item, too good that it no longer allows build versatility and variants, which ironically, is what Rito has been pushing yet all of their actions are contrary otherwise.
