I did not bother reading every post here because... im lazy, so i might repeat alot. But anyway...

First, her scalings arent bad as the guy before me said (yea i read that one...). Yes theyre not awesome if you look at them seperated but combined and especially with the short cooldowns its more than enough damage. Not to mention that part of it is AoE, true damage or at least pseudo AoE and one has a gamebreaking CC.

And your tactic is perfectly fine. I just dont know what your problem is. You say that youre not of a big help when you miss your Charm. Yeah well guess what, no one is any help when he misses his skills. That has nothing to do with the champ. And even without the Charm she has a ton of damage and mobility and thats awesome for ganking. Actually shes one of the best roamer/ganker because of that and can towerdive like no other too.

In teamfights you can completely mess up the enemy team. Either by landing the perfect charm which is basically like a mini Blitz hook. Or you just confuse them and make them run circles with your ult while still dealing good damage. And again, she has short cooldowns and alot of AoE so shes rather strong in teamfights. The high mobility as i said allows her to stay safe.

Items i usually build are:

Haunting Guise/Liandrys

Abysal Scepter

Deathfire Grasp

Rabadons Deathcap

Zhonyas Hourglass

So Ahri is definetely still viable and not only that. Imo shes one of the strongest mids, still.
