Ahri doesn't have a 2s hard CC untill lvl 18, i think i can safely say 99.9% of Ahri players max it last.

Her early game mana costs are very high she can't just throw out Q's anymore, she's very squishy and pre 6 she's vulnerable to ganks. She's extremely item reliant, her dmg is by no means crazy, plenty of other midlaners have higher dmg output.

Yes if your squishy and you let yourself get charmed by a 4 item Ahri theres a good chance your dead but the same happens if you facecheck a 3 item Leblanc or try to fight Cassiopeia at lvl 2.

Ahri is a high skillcap champion (2 skillshots), that has a fairly weak earlygame, but scales very well.

I've been maining her for a while now, in lower Gold winning lane was simple, people stand at the max range of her Q (worst place to stand) and let themselves get straight up charmed, don't know how to deal with dash-charm, don't know that when charm is on cooldown you should trade etc.

Currently plat 3 and the lane is so far from free now, the slightest mistake as Ahri against champs like Zed or LB can set you back in lane, long range safe champs like Ziggs or Ori just use their dumbness to clear waves (and still poke effectively), and at this lvl they know to stand out of range from charm and how to use minions, poking isn't in your favor because they dmg you more than you do them, they have longer range, you also run out of mana quicker and they often run pussy ass heal or barrier (which is often the smart thing to do for safe champs, don't get me wrong).

Moral of the story, get better at the champ your playing or pick up a champ that's better into Ahri. She isn't OP, no champ in the game is really OP, yes 6 item Jinx is disgusting, yes LeBlanc has a ton of burst dmg, yes Zed is slippery and deadly as hell, yes Ahri has a lot of mobility when she has ult up, but all champs have weaknesses and it's up to us to learn how to take advantage of those weaknesses with the champion we're playing at the time. And if you can't do that with the champion you're on just farm.
