Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to being outranged and having no reliable way to trade back against Ahri's mobility and poke.
- Post-6 you still struggle as Ahri's R makes it nearly impossible to land your skillshots reliably, though you can win if you land Q stun into full combo.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to wait for Ahri to use Q on minions, then immediately look for W-Q combo while she's animation locked.
- Focus on using W to zone and control space rather than always going for direct trades, as your damage is higher if you can land abilities.
Wave Control
- You want to hard push waves with W-E to create roam timers and force Ahri to choose between following or losing CS.
- This also allows you to recall safely and reduces the time you spend vulnerable in lane to her poke and all-ins.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your Q on minions when Ahri has kill pressure, as it's your only reliable way to stop her all-ins.
- Avoid extended trades where Ahri can use her mobility to kite you, and don't fight in open areas where she has maximum space to dodge your abilities.
