@Riot Meddler, will we see Ashe testing begin in the PBE really soon?

I know I'm annoying about Ashe, but I was curious if her changes, as hinted on the other forums, would be released on the PBE for testing soon. I am an Ashe main and I'm thrilled to see her get looked at by Riot. Thanks!

Not for a while. Gameplay changes haven't been completely locked down yet. Once they have, she'll then go into the queue for the required visual changes. It'll be a while as a result.

Still think the passive would be neglected when you hit full crit strike. Maybe implement increase crit dmg on passive when you hit 100% crit or certain lvls. That would still make it a significant source of damage at max crit and make it stronger than your regular auto attacks.

Ashe is fine, honestly. Just give her a real passive please.

It's more than just her passive. Her Q is also extremely binary: either it works too well against enemies with no gap-closers (i.e. Udyr, Skarner, Darius), or it frequently fails to do anything substantial. Either the enemy gap-closes her, or shoots her back from range.

Add on that it only takes 1 shot for her to slow you, and counterplay for the ability becomes very limited, so it's forcibly weak. Same problem as Frozen Mallet: it's capable of being a counterplay-killer, which tends to be toxic if it's at all strong.

I mean, sure, she is situational. I don't see that as being a problem though.

There's a problem when it's too situational.

She is situational, like the old Kat, which I really prefer over the current one. She's a champ that requires a lot of skill in order for you to utilize her. Do you actually main Ashe? Do you play her on a daily basis? I honestly think she's fine the way she is. Just wait until someone plays her in LCS, then everyone will be playing her nonstop. Ashe is one of the few champs in game that still requires a lot of skill and understanding to play, and that's what Riot needs; unique, difficult champions that they have started off with, rather than always making everything easier for everyone by dumbing down a champion and giving them more powerful skills.

I want to main Ashe and thats what I'm working towards I want her to be more rewarding for being played skillfully

her ult is difficult to hit consistently from long range but when you do get a hit in a team fight, your teammates can either escape from death or bring death to the enemy team her Q the low amount of slows at the beginning stops her from chasing down and killing her targets early game W is fine as it is but the no dmg at max range hits bug is annoying

her only problem is her passive, it just feels more like a handicap since she has to stop dealing dmg to gain stacks which means you'll have wait forever early game due to cs'ing

Wow, what kind of changes are we talking about here? Tristana level rework minus the visual update?

yeah, i think ashe's kit is pretty ok except for her passive. depending on how that works out maybe some slight buffs would be in order to make her more in line with other kiting adcs (cough kalista cough)

I ask again, after 1 month of "work" when will see Ashe testing begin? Or maybe some sneak peek?

These changes must be pretty significant if they require a visual effect update.
