Updating Ashe's Passive
Let's be real here, Ashe's passive "Focus" is mediocre at best early game and completely falls off late game. I do like the concept of additional crit chance and I thought it would be interesting to tie it in with her slowing kit. Here are a couple of alternatives I have come up with!
-
Ashe gains 15/20/25% crit chance (Level 1/8/15) when attacking a unit afflicted with Frost.
-
Ashe's crits deal 10/15/20/25% additional damage (Level 1/6/11/18) when attacking a unit afflicted with Frost.
First and foremost, I made up those numbers at random just to illustrate my examples. They may or may not be ridiculously OP, I really don't know. Ashe's strength comes from kiting her opponents and keeping her distance from the heat of the battle. However, all of the gap closers and dashing currently in the meta are giving this frost archer a hard time to keep up. Ashe's new passive would give her a little bit of dueling power against this. Because there are a LOT of abilities in game that slow a unit, I think it would be best if the passive only applied to Ashe's slow from Frost; bot lane with a Lulu or Braum support would be way too strong. To compensate Ashe's strength in mid-late game, the mana cost for Frost should also scale upward instead of remaining at 8 per shot for all ranks; maybe increases in mana cost for Volley as well.
Let me know what you guys think! :)
