I would put my money on the swifties nerf.

If I had to guess one change that impacted her the most it'd be this one.

JQKAndrei15 votes

Nerfs to Corki and Graves. item 3046 cost lowered.

As a Ashe main, I liked those changes.

Anyway, 53% winrate on a 2% pickrate champ isn't anything special.

1-5 games 37% 5-15 games 24% 15-50 games 23% 50-125 games 9% 125+games 4%

How about we stop acting lIke low playrate = only played by mains. Because it isn't true.

It doesn't mean only played by mains, but that's not the only thing that would increase the winrate of low-pickrate champions. A more significant effect is that that they're much less likely to be picked in non-ideal situations. I'll pick Ezreal or Lucian into anything, even if I don't know what I'll be facing or even if it's technically a bad matchup for them. I'll only pick Ashe when Ashe is the best thing I could pick.

She massively screws over Udyr , who everyone and their mother is playing,

assassins being played more she has a good ult to stop them

She is also completely immobile and a prime target for them. I don't think I've every heard something like they are picking Zed, LB, Talon, or Rengar, go Ashe.

Swiftness + enchant with PD.

And you should be fine.

Ashe is the kite queen and with janna on her side and being as strong as she is in this meta. the two become a kiting/peeling team from hell. perhaps this is why? but honestly i think ashe is one of the more difficult adc's to play cause her movespeed feels so slow and shes got no real escape unless the situation lets u kite your self out. this is where janna comes in.

I think Kalista takes the title of the kite queen, personally :P

^ agreed but ashe just punishes you in team fights as she just aoe slows everyone

Assassins jumping in her face then taking an arrow and dying.

WukongMain2 votes

She's always been more of a utility type ad carry. with the raise of assassins this patch her assisting them with an arrow, or slows prove to be beneficial. She slows them. assassins let the bodies hit the floor.

Oh man, I wish that change goes through. Her Q stacking feels really weird/clunky to me.

JQKAndrei1 votes

That's actually a really nice change for Ashe, I can't wait for it to go through. It will let her keep her stacks up and be ready to fight at all times.

Champs that are rather hard countered by her became more popular. Especially Xin and Udyr.

Also, low utillity high damage champs are more popular on sololanes, so a more utillity focused adc helps alot to round out teamcomps.

I'm going to say it probably didn't and it's just an anomaly in the champGG data.

Xin's kit has always been somewhat designed to be assassin like.

He's like this fighter/assassin thing.

TotalJerk1 votes

He can be, but his current broken build is a light fighter build.

TotalJerk1 votes

Small sample size. When a patch has JUST hit champion.gg winrates can be all over the place. Give it some time to smooth out.

The 2 people who play Ashe won their games today.

VDc0zCqe0w1 votes

because the playrate is so low it doesn't mean shit

69469238DEL11 votes

So what I'm getting is two theories, either she's good right now because of all of the assassins (both allied and enemy) running around, or she has such a low pick rate that the spike in wins means nothing except that a select few high elo players are killing it with her.

Bears Dont Care1 votes

Meta shift to be honest, expect nerfs thoug.

JQKAndrei3 votes

Graves sitting on 57% winrate for 4-5 patches, if they nerf Ashe because she went over 51% for 1 patch I'll get really pissed.

Handin Out Naps1 votes

He was sitting on that winrate for one patch bud. People just found a much better way to build him.

JQKAndrei3 votes

~55% as Jungle in 6.1 and 6.2

~54-57% as Toplane from 5.24 to 6.2

~55-53% as Adc from 6.1 to current patch.

"ashe is trashe omg :(((((((((((("

It's like picking Malphite, she's strong against what's popular.

Did I also mention that she is quite strong against Graves?
