The goal of this build is not to deal massive amounts of damage instantly, but rather annoy the shit out of everyone on the enemy team with max CDR and W damage. Since you have so much range with W, and you don't end up auto attacking all that much, you can dish out substantial damage from relative safety. This is not as good as one of the amazing ARAM champs like Lux, Varus, or Soraka, but this comes pretty damn close.

MAX: W at all costs, no exceptions. You do not autoattack unless you can 100% safely do so. The goal is not to die very often so you can get as many Ws off on the enemy team. Your other abilities are mostly useless, although you should still probably max Q second.

Start: item 3070 item 1036 item 2003 x5 Core: item 3004 item 3071 item 3158 item 3151 (order: tear directly into BC, cooldown boots, muramana, then liandrys) Also build: item 3092 then item 3116

The damage output this build offers is obscene, but you need to stay far in the back to get it all out. And with max CDR, do not be afraid to use your Ult as an execute/poke/disengage. This ashe playstyle is nearly untouchable by opponents, except those with hard engages or the means to avoid your damage completely (fizz is a major offender)

Known issues: Damage output is low-mediocre until you hit level 9 Complete lack of burst If your team completely loses before you hit level 9 with items then there is nothing that can be done about it

Not bad, but I really don't like to build Ashe that way in ARAM unless you have like a 5 ADC team or something like that so that she can help let the rest of them do more damage, thus making your team do more damage in total than if you just built pure dps yourself.

I would recommend using scaling armor for ARAM though, flat armor just isn't that good in ARAM. You probably don't take much physical damage before 6, and then they're already as good as the flat armor. And since you start at level 3, the worst part of the scaling ones is already over and they're already half as strong as the flat ones.

you underestimate the power of this build once it's level 9, with those runes and masteries. and while I do agree with you about the scaling armor on aram, I use these pages on more than just arams, where the flat armor/mr tends to be relevant. if I had some ARAM only pages, I'd definitely throw in some scaling armor/MR instead of flat

here's my reasoning for this type of build: ADCs in aram typically suck dick. it's not a problem with the champ(s) being bad, its a problem with the map itself and the fact that cancerous poke typically reigns supreme on ARAM. if you think you have a really good team, and really good peel to get DPS off, then by all means do normal ADC ashe. otherwise, this one allows you to dish out damage safely without reliance on autoattacks. DPS is typically very bad in my experience on ARAM, unless you have the team strength pull it off.
