Is an Ashe buff needed?

I used to main Ashe when i started playing however as you get more and more levelled she starts to fall of as peoples skill levels increase. I think she should be buffed with more crit scaling so she does more damage as i find she is weak in this are mostly. Does anyone agree?

no other adcs need nerfs

She's perfectly fine imo, just the other marksmen come online much faster than her.

Ashe needs 3 items, other marksmen needs 2 items.

Sorry, but isn't it the other way round? Her ability to kite and her engage potential are especially useful at higher skill levels.

I think Ashe is in a really good spot, balance-wise, she's just being outclassed by insta-bursting ranged assassins---sorry, ADCs, like Caitlyn. Fights end too quickly and there are too many reliable ways to engage on her.

For Ashe to become meta again, the meta itself needs to shift towards extended engages with lower burst.

i think Ashe is fine, I just think the niche in which she excels is a niche that rarely has an opportunity to make an appearance.

Ashe hasn't been changed in a long while but she works. When you buff a champion out of nowhere, they become the next dominant pick that everybody on boards complain about. They're picked or banned every two games, have a 54% win rate, and this continues for several patches until the balance team catches on that maybe the champion is too strong.

Then they nerf the said champion to a state worse than before the buffs. Because that champion shouldn't have been buffed in the first place. Of course, there are certain exceptions in which Riot will favor certain champions and keep them buffed, or have nerfs that really don't make a difference.
