Ashe Rework Suggestion

RoyaiChaos·12/2/2014, 3:55:28 AM·2 votes·807 views

A little busy right now so I can't really elaborate and such but just some general ideas for Ashe

  • Passive: Champions marked with frost are slowed when Ashe auto attacks them (similar to her q) (maybe an increased crit chance as well to frosted champions?)
  • Q: Ashe fires a projectile that goes through minions, marking them with frost (maybe even cool down decreasing every time she auto attacks a champion affected with frost)
  • W: Same as current but also marks with frost (but perhaps with increased mana or cd?)
  • ** E:** The passive is removed, but everything else is the same.
  • R: Same as current but marks all damaged enemies with frost as well

This way a good Ashe can still perma slow, and she still has her ult which I personally thought were the identifying parts of her kit, but at the same time her slow can be "dodged" (and her w is nice because it will pretty much always hit melee champions attacking her but she will have a bit more trouble against ranged champions)

I would really hope if you could offer suggestions and opinions C:

BTW This is kind of a WiP Post as I've had the idea for a long time but never had time to post it. I'll eventually refine it and make it easier to understand and such.

Hm, I like this idea, although having a two pass through skillshots might be a bit much. She's got plenty of waveclear off of her W, another potential wave clearing spell would just be too much.

However, using the Frost mechanic is nice as it gives her a lot of synergy with Sejuani and Anivia. HUZZAH FOR THE FRELJORD

I'm new and ashe was, to me; a character i thought i wouldn't like and was pleasantly surprised when i got her in the starter pack and tried her out. I feel her character in general is very well rounded and themed. The only parts i don't enjoy are that the crit bonus when not attacking seems counterintuitive to her perma-slow and that hawk shot is great but very limited to usefulness on maps other than the rift. Other than that the only think she really lacks is an escape so i'd love to have an invisibility such as Twitch or Teemo added to go with her passive and/or hawk shot. That building crit would be a lot more useful if i wasn't a sitting duck waiting for it to reach 100 for my ultimate then accidentally wasting it on an auto-attack when a minion hits me. Or when i cast hawk shot i gained invisibility and movement speed for an escape/assassination. I'd hate to lose the passive gold per kill but it would be worth it for an escape other than flash.

Adding a skillshot Q is pretty appealing. Ashe currently has really terrible trading because not enough damage buttons, and this resolves this while also providing some counterplay to the permaslow thing.

I think your E revision lacks cohesion. It's just "here, have some crit". I don't understand how it links with the rest of the proposed kit.

I'm guessing riot would say that her ult needs to be nerfed to work with that kit,Though Imo Jinx has a stronger ult/kit than Ashe and also no mobility.
