Ever since Ahri received her gameplay update at the start of season 12, she became an instant favorite not only for normal players but also for pros. Ahri boasted the highest presence (pick and bans combined) out of all the mid laners across the major regions and tournaments last year, with more than 500 picks or bans (according to stats site Games of Legends).
She was such a strong pick that Riot Games was forced to nerf her a couple of times in the following patches. This year, instead, her presence dropped down to 18 percent with a 48 percent win te, proving that teams do not think highly of her as much as they did in 2022.
