Ashe Nerfs: How exactly is this fixing anything?

So...they nerfed her E (Hawk Shot). Oh, so now she has less vision!

Well, according to riot they wanted her to be more of a support-y carry, however, rather than remove the 100% critical hit chance (i.e. tons of damage) from her kit, or at least make any adjustments at all to her DPS they nerfed one of her most utilitous spells! Doing exactly the opposite of what they said they intended!

How exactly is that slowing down her early game in any shape or form? Yeah, she can't build stacks on turrets anymore but she's still a HUGE lane bully despite the "nerfs". This changes nothing!

Dude ashe is easy to zone and those changes are pretty good for her early game poke so why exactly are you crying

Nerfing her poke is going to make her MUCH easier to lane against. If you are getting hit by her Q, you are getting in too close.

To the original poster:

I don't think you understand ashe's passive. It's designed in such a way that the sustained damage (let's say you hit enemy champ 10 times) is just slightly (10% of her ad to be exact) stronger than other adc's. In return if ashe just AA's an enemy champion once or twice, it's weaker than other adc's.

You either don't know that ashe's critical strikes have reduced damage or you don't know how powerful critical hits are on literally every other adc.

The reason she's powerful now is the new Q. It adds a lot of dps especially to enemy champions.
