Been through this question a bit already. Biggest weaknesses for me are:

1. Very skill shot realiant. Two of her spells are skill shots, and very easy outplay skill shots at that. With how many dashes and mobile spells we currently have, a lot of champions have an easy time to dodge her skills. Ironically, while Ahri is a queen at dodging spells, she herself is weak against people who can dodge.

2. Her burst takes time to dish out. Unlike a Rengar or LeBlanc who can burst you down before you can blink, Ahri takes a while to use up all her damage. This gives plenty of time for someone react to her. This is what the whole charm discussion down below was all about. Why does an assassin need such a hard cc spell? Well, here's the reason: she needs it to kill someone safely. By end game, an mobile ADC with a QSS becomes one of the hardest things to assassinate for Ahri. Someone like LeBlanc or Rengar doesn't share that weakness.

3. While she is a very safe champion, she needs to put herself in danger to deal full damage. Both foxfire and spirit rush require her to put herself in harms way to use. This, plus the other two points I brought up, make it hard for her kill someone in a group. Easy remedy for this weakness though is Zhonya's, so it's not that bad, but it's still a weakness. If you have someone with instant cc, Ahris not gonna have a good time whe she ults it. Looking at Malzahar, Annie, Lissandra, etc.
