I really love this rework, but I wanted her ult to get a bit of love, such as AD scaling, other adcs have Global Ults that scale with AD and deal more damage than Ashe does, I'd love if they added AD scaling but lowered stun duration or anything else. But overall love the changes, I have woad Ashe and never played her because she couldn't do enough and her passive was useless, and now I think I'll be maining Ashe for ADC.

I'm fine with Ashe's ult. She has always been a utility based ADC. Not saying I don't want her ult to do no damage, but for Ashe I would rather a better stun/slow than it being a Jinx Rocket

Ths pretty much. Ashe's ult has a lot of power because the stun duration and the slow. It would be a shame if Riot reduced them because they give it AD ratio/phisical damage

Depends on how her Crit>Magic passive scales really. The Q changes look neat, changing her slow to no longer require mana is a bold move... Kind of a shame she lost her gold passive, but the double GLOBAL hawkshot seems really cool.

Well some stuff might be nerfed I think because permaslow is kinda op. Something like each attack after first one is a bit weaker slow, maybe 1/3 or 1/2?

She has a permaslow now... The only time she doesn't is either when she OOMs herself in a chase or... forgets to turn it on.

her new slow doesnt cost any mana.

Depending on how Q actually functions, Muramana might be extremely brutal, and it looks super interesting.

Ashe was already my favorite carry.

This looks AMAZING. I already love playing ashe anyways, even though my games don't always go to well! This is what she needed!!!

I'm super excited to try this out. The only thing I don't like is now her visuals have this weird divide, where half of them seem old and the other half are shiny and new; I'd love if ECA got a new particle or something.

I love them! Sad to see her passive gold go (I suck at last hitting so it helped a bit), but Ashe now actually has a perma slow, and her new Q looks freaking sweet (although it would be cool if they had added the frozen effect like Sej's ult to ECA, but I guess that's still possible for them to add while she's on the PBE)

Im more concerned than anything about her passive's new mechanic of "crits are disabled but you do more damage"

Will they add this change to every ADC and phase out crit eventually? Because this really feels like the first step.

It's possible they're adding this to Ashe to test this out for the game at large. Hopefully if it ends up hurting her too much they'll make appropriate changes, but I'm excited to try this out

I expect her damage output to be fairly low, even lower than now, due to her heavy utility. But her overall "power" should balance out.

Otherwise, I really like this direction. Replacing her ability to Crit is an interesting and unique idea, I really like it. Her new passive seems absolutely amazing, especially with her new Q, both passive and active. She seems slightly more interactive, and honestly, fun.

On top of all that, her playstyle seems generally the same. She'll still have a super-low skill floor, and maintain her ease of "teamfight time? press Q" routine. (Yes, Ashe is more in-depth than that.) So both Ashe veterans and new players should enjoy this.

Removing the E passive gold is no surprise to me, since she has added power elsewhere.

Also, double (triple with charges) globals

I actually mained ashe before the changes. And they look pretty cool. I kinda wish they kept her bonus gold though.
