my thoughts on ashe changes

the changes I am referring to can be found on the PBE boards here: http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-feedback/N7VZrAws-smaller-522-marksmen-changes-pbe-feedback-thread

I (was) an ashe main, I had to drop her because in solo queue trying to capitalize on her power is very challenging. while on one hand I think it makes sense to have champions be stronger in the right teams against the right enemies, on the other hand there should be some amount of strength that allows someone to main a champion, or first pick them and not watch your teammates pick all champions that have negative synergy with you and feeling helpless :( there's nothing I can do to stop a teammate messing up my power spikes, like if tahm eats me out of panick right when I press Q and am about to melt the person he thinks I'm in danger from :(

and before, if I pressed Q and suddenly have no use for it, I've felt useless for the whole fight... or, if I sit there without enough stacks for q, I may be slowing the enemy but doing no damage, then by the time I have another target I can fight in a safe zone for me, I have no stacks again. and while I'm meaningful to my teammates, in solo queue if this is what I'm doing they write me off as "no damage" and will leave me to die because they think I can't do anything, when really I can but they haven't had the chance to gain trust in me. and there's nothing worse than having the potential to do damage in a fight, but having your teamates not bother listening to you because they think you can't do damage. or worse, telling a teamate you do damage, then they engage and engage in a way that doesn't let you show them how you do damage :(

there should be something to allow me to create and keep the potential for the power of Q, so that I can use it when I want and when I go to use it but suddenly cannot, I am not screwed out of it. this is why I like the "no cooldown" change... and why I dislike the "no stacks from W" change. I have a few suggestions for how she can be given a feel of growing strength, you could say, a feel of usefulness in any scenario but particular strength in particular scenarios, instead of the alternative, uselessness unless in a specific scenario....

• if there is a cooldown on Q, to allow focus to stack while it is on cooldown
• possibly allow focus to always stay until consumed, but then "focus" doesn't make flavorful sense xD
• allow focus to "tick down" when it decays instead of go away all at once
• allow all stacks to be consumed even if only 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. where each stack grants something small, up to a maximum: for example, for each stack consumed, Ashe gets 1 more second of the buff, 2% additional power, 2% additional attack speed, and 1 second reduced cooldown of the ability. or perhaps, she gets 5% additional power and attack speed, but for 1-5 seconds, and if it's the 5th stack it's double power and speed.

and just a reminder, please please please please please pretty please let me continue to use W to stack or at least keep my stacks! :( ashe is imobile and has a kit that rewards her for being in combat, that's so counter intuitive! let her use W to safely stack her Q please Dx
