Welcome to my guide. I created a guide for my favorite champion Ahri. I won 8 out of 10 matches in solo queue with Ahri. Now I'm platinum because of Ahri. I would like to thank Riot for creating her. When I played Ahri I think she's the best champion for me because she's really fun to play, she has a strong single target burst and mobile champion. She's my first main champion since I play League of Legends until now she's still my main champion.

Pros
+ Built in sustain
+ Good Poke
+ High Mobility w/ Spirit Rush
+ Good Farming
+ Strong Burst
+ Strong CC (Charm)
+ Orb of Deception grants movement speed if you cast it
+ Insane Ganks
+ Strong tower diver thanks to her ultimate (Spirit Rush)
+ Scales well
+ Safe pick
+ Excellent laning phase
+ A strong carry
+ She's hot

Cons
- Squishy
- Skill shot reliant
- Weak to CC
- Hard to master
- RIP DFG
- Charm no longer take +20% damage
- Higher mana cost on Ahri's abilities since she got nerfed at 5.3 patch
- On 5.8 patch her charm no longer interrupts 'Unstoppable' effects (such as Malphite's R - Unstoppable Force, Hecarim's R - Onslaught of Shadows and Vi's R - Assault and Battery)

Recommended Summoner Spells:

Flash - Most important summoner spell for Ahri. If you have an ult, it makes you 4 flashes.

Ignite - Very useful summoner spell. Helps your burst to kill.

Other viable Summoner Spells:

Teleport - Replacement forIgnite. If you want to gank in other lane fastly.


Barrier - Also replacement forIgnite. If your playing against strong burst champions such as Syndra, LeBlanc, Veigar, etc.


ghost - If you don't haveflash take ghost as a summoner spell.


Exhaust - Also replacement for ignite. If you are comfortable at this item, take this. But I don't take this spell as an AP mid laner.


Bad/Useless Summoner Spells:

Clairvoyance - Garbage

Clarity - Better buy MP potion or get a blue buff.

Cleanse - Buy aQSS instead.


Heal - You're notLux or Xerath.


Smite - You're not a jungler.
