Dat New Ashe is interesting

Linna Excel··1 votes·409 views

Consistent but weaker crits vs bigger but unreliable crits. I'm kind of glad to see riot try it and the mechanics of how it works (critting slowed targets) is interesting. I kind of want to say her passive should work against all CCed targets, but that's nitpicking (a good idea if she's a bit weak which I doubt).

Some other thoughts about her:

  1. Frenzy seems awesome on her now
  2. I dunno if I should build CDR on her or not. More Crystal arrows is always good and the CD on her Q is pretty long. Still as an ADC her build doesn't have much room for CDR and I'm not a fan of youmou's in general. Yes you can build a cleaver on her, but LW is more of an ADC item.
  3. Bye-bye TF ashe (spamming W to proc the spell blade). I guess she can still use the phage passive and the group of stats.
  4. Mana seems less of an issue on her now as you only want to use your Q and W for all ins.
  5. Her wave clear seems different. It's a little weaker overall with the W changes, but Q speeds things up a little.
  6. AoE perma slows with hurricane sounds interesting but she needs everything now so I don't know if there's room for it in her build.
  7. I don't know what to build on her right now (it's too early). She needs all the ADC stuff and now she needs CDR as well. It's a good problem ATM, but it's still a problem. For example I dunno if she needs a hurricane (slows) or needs to avoid it (crits).

Trinity force on ashe is not gone. She does not use it for the Spellblade as much now as she did but now she uses the phage slowing her enemys and speeding her up she can kite even better then before along with the zeal for attackspeed and crit of course.

Yes, with her permaslow always being on now, I can see that passive being useful. But now it's a question of TF or BC if you want that? Both have their upsides and downsides.

The build I'm experimenting with is item 3031 item 3046 item 3072 item 3071 item 3006 item 3035

It provides 20% CDR, up to 65% armor penetration which is delightful against tanks, some extra HP, Rage passive for kiting, 55% critical strike, a solid damage bump, and good attack speed.

I love Frenzy on her because every hit after the initial basic attack gets you the frenzy stacks for free. I quite like the rework to be honest, at least at this point I'm still dabbling in bot matches, probably trying some normals tonight.

her volley damage with hurricane and bork is absolutely bonkers. ive tried different things, and the build that dealt absolutely the most damage so far was.

item 3031 item 3046 item 3035 item 3085 item 3153

just try it in a practise game. she fires multiple hurricane shots per volley. since she reaches such a high attack speed wth this build and damage amplification from crit, her volley damage becomes insane.

im tempted to switch out pd for shiv, as the runaans shots build extra shiv stacks (ive tried that in a custom game aswell. it works). but after you reach a certain bonus on her passive with just those 2 crit items, she scales really hard with attack speed, as it allows you to fire more volleys during the q active.
