A question about new Ashe

El Seibzehn··1 votes·554 views

From what I am understanding with the 5.22 patch notes, Ashe does not do any bonus damage from crits at all anymore? She just gets stronger slows? If she still gets some bonus damage then it's poorly worded and if she doesn't won't she fall behind others in terms of damage output fairly quickly?

My understanding is that, basically the increased slow from her Q was moved to her crits, and she retains her 'mini-crit' scaling against frosted targets.

This. Ashe still gets bonus damage vs frosted targets that scales with critical chance/dmg. It is just no longer considered "critical hit damage". Instead, when she "crits" she gets bonus slow (double the current passive bonus).

Basically, the only thing that is changing is that she will have a critical proc that gives increased slow. Her damage will be exactly like it is now on live.

This is going to be a small, but noticeable, to Ashe, I think.

Well that's disappointing. When I read it, I thought they were fixing her depressing power curve and how unsatisfying she feels most of the time.

Her passive has been changed so that it acts as enhanced AAs rather than crits, as if they where crits it would be broken with the new items/masteries. She basically does the same exact thing, except she can slow for more now.

the damage works the exact same way, is just isn't called a crit
