Ashe will be in need of serious compensation buffs come 8.11
Now you would think "Why? New IE makes her crits deal true damage!" however this is not the case sadly. Much like Shiv crit proc, the true damage from IE is independent from Ashe's passive. Not only making her passive overall weaker but also a trap item for unbeknownst players. How does this maker her passive weaker?
As of right now with her base passive at 110%, buying IE and Shiv. 20(IE) + 30(Shiv) = 50% 50 * 1.5(IE passive) = 75% 110 + 75 = 185%
With 8.11 30(Shiv) * 2(IE passive) = 60% 110 + 60 = 170%
That is a 15% damage loss. The true damage conversion should make up for that but remember that it's independent on Ashe's passive. Meaning that she will deal around her original damage 60% of the time. Its even worse when she is full crit.
Currently her passive can go up to 260% with IE. 8.11 it will go down to 210% and with the IE conversion, she will deal about 241% in a perfect scenario like someone against the likes of Malphite. If I remember correctly there was a poster who listed out more detailed numbers since I am most likely being overtly generous with mine here.
Now I can understand why they made IE independent purely because of Jhin. However Ashe will be more punished because of this. I honestly think Jhin would be the least punished out of all the carries due to a lot of the items going to favor him more. If Ashe could actually go past the crit chance cap then I would be fine with this.
that is getting buffed
