I've been trying to main Ashe on a smurf account

It really shows you just how rediculous the mobility creep in this game has become. The amount of garbage that I have to navigate through every game, whether I'm fed or not, is crazy. Hell, most games even if I am positioned correctly, there is something, or some way, for one of the myriad of champs to either throw something on me, or get on me.

Its not even really the mobility creep. Its the fact that the champs that have it, have too much damage to go with it. There is no real tradeoff in this game anymore. Just loaded kits.

Fellow Ashe player with almost 1 million mastery here.

I feel you so much. Ashe is just am archaic champion and feels like the inverse of Master Yi. Good in higher elo and amazing in pro play, garbage in low elo. Her kit is cemtered around utility and lacks damage, which isn't how to carry in low elo unless you are playing with a grenade. And her base move speed combined with her lack of mobility and squishiness makes her very easy to abuse. She's cool, but not very deep or useful most of the time. Even in teams where we already have a ton of damage, it's better not to pick her. I wouldn't say she needs any kind of rework, but she needs something to be any kind of viable beyond just high level/pro and tutorial. She doesn't have to he hard. She should just be more viable than she is.

Pretty much.

A game this old and this big, It's left behind many champs in solo Q.

Yep, especially with the fact all these dashes are unaffected by slows. 99% slow on Thresh box, but Yasuo still dashes around like a mad man, which basically counters Thresh's ult.

Ashe is all about slows, so the fact that none of that affects dashes means that every champion with a dash counters Ashe's entire kit. Yeah, she still has her ult, and her E, and her W spam, but there's little reason to pick her over someone like Jhin since at least Jhin can burst while being utility. Personally I feel like her Q should have more power, because while it is really strong, she's gated behind getting 4 autos off first, while Draven/Tristana/Xayah/etc can just press their attack speed steroid and do the exact same thing without the gate and with more damage. She has more up time with her Q in a long teamfight, but rarely do you ever need more than one cast unless they have a huge tank you need to chew through.
