Ashe ADC, surely you jest

Since the glorious overlords have decided to tinker toy with the game for this season, I have have to say, RIOT has made ASHE as and ADC completely worthless. go in and engage with other players or bot, best of luck to ya. As that Q isn't going to be available. Or on the fluke chance it is, Better hope you use it, otherwise its go, DO in return you're only left with 3 definite attacks: frost shot, volley and enchanted crystal arrow. While your Rangers Focus is going to be comparable to healthcare.gov complete garbage.

Matter a fact, RIOT should say f**k it and throw her into the garbage now and save everyone the hassle of having to deal with her turrets having Q. As of right now, in an Aram match, she's going to be an automatic reroll or back out of the game if none are available.

Ranger's Focus

> Cost: 50 Mana, 5 Focus > Range: Self > > Ashe builds up Focus by attacking. At maximum Focus, Ashe can cast Ranger's Focus to consume all stacks of Focus, temporarily increasing her Attack Speed and transforming her basic attack into a powerful flurry attack for the duration. > > Passive: Basic attacks grant Focus for 4 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. At 5 stacks, Ranger's Focus can be cast, consuming all Focus. > Active: For 4 seconds, Ashe gains 20/25/30/35/40% Attack Speed, and her basic attacks fire a flurry of arrows resulting in 0 physical damage per attack. During this time, she does not stack Focus. >

I don't care about the lack of crit in her kit as it is actually a net buff when considering randuins omen but if they just undid the Q changes from preseason I'd be happy. The old Q just felt... right... ya'know? But I'll give her another shot with the changes coming next patch and see how she feels after that.

playing a low mobility champ against her is an absolute nightmare with those slow crits. you might aswell afk, as youre not moving an inch in teamfights anyways.

playing a mobile assassin against her feels like shes free food.

shit design. its pretty much as terrible as kallista.

well apparently today in the pbe she got a change where she can now cast at 4 stacks now but yeah i don't know why they changed her for preseason. She was fine before the change. I've played her in some of my games in preseason and she's okay but I really wouldn't pick her in a ranked game.

She recently got some buffs on the PBE if you haven't seen. Her Q only takes 4 stacks to activate now.

I remember when you could go into lane with your 100% and chunk the adc for 1/4 if you went with your masteries, only morello knows what would happen if she still had her old passive along item 3087 item 3094 and item 3031 today, it would blow people harder than cait.

I kind of view Ashe as a very team orientated ADC. Now, she CAN carry, but it wouldn't be optimal. As far as the rangers focus goes, it's a learning process. I am having a harder time with the focus more than ever now though because her W no longer procs focus. : _ :

Now maybe it's my Elo but I have an easy ass time with Ashe. Whenever in engaged on throw your long ass stun and stack Q. If its early and you don't have your ultimate you're going to have to rely on your support. When the stun wears off your Q should be charged. Now they are near perma slowed and are also receiving volleys of damage. Now if the enemy is still alive they're probably backing off now. And you being the long ranged piece of Ashe you are, the kill should be easy to pick up.

I made a thread about the PBE changes here: [http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/E16jsgJq-pbe-ashe-rangers-focus]

Add your thoughts to it please.
