Ashe being a utility carry makes here late game a bit meh.

I mean she has no escape. So if she is farming a pushed top wave near her base and someone fed shows up, shes dead almost instantly if he has no arrow. Her slow is very unreliable late game as it barely slows. The arrow is quite useful, but at short range its very meh since it doesn't do any damage its really just use for stun which is not that great... Ashe's volley late game isn't useful, I mean it does apply frost shot which is nice so you can get 5 stacks quickly, but its damage is not good at all. Finally, Ashe's Q is her best ability, but at an 18 second cooldown it's only useful once in a team fight and then you have to wait 18 seconds and it's not helpful at all.

Tl;DR The ashe update was amazing. She is a really fun old timer champion, however she could use some tweaks to her damage, cooldowns, and late game. Thanks!

That's kind of the point of her being an utility ADC, she isn't meant to hyper escalate so hard like say a Vayne or Twitch, but provide slows, vision and a really strong stun to the table for her team.

The stun is strong when you aren't in a fight because at long range is good. At short range its not good and it can be beat my something like vanye condemn. Being utility her ult could do an AOE stun.

It doesn't need to be an AoE stun. It's strong enough as it is. She's already arguably the strongest ADC in the game. We can't just tack on more power.

This all sounds like it's working as intended. ADCs shouldn't be splitpushing lategame, utility-focused champs shouldn't be doing the most damage, a lot of ADC spells aren't worth casting lategame because of the loss of DPS (Volley actually is worth bc of the utility and DPS increase through her passive and Q).

Ashe is actually really strong right now, so I would give her another shot before throwing her in the trash again.
